------------------------------[ Introduction ]---------------------------------

This FAQ is meant to detail the locations of the 40 factions icons throughout
Transformers: The Game for the XBOX 360. The difficulty of finding these icons
varies considerably - some are out in the open and some are hard to see due to
the environment of the level **cough - The Hunt for Sam Witwicky**. The secret
icons appear as silver emblems of the respective faction. Each faction has 20
icons hidden throughout 4 stages (5 per stage).

The secret icons unlock 3 things in the XBOX 360 game:
1. G1 Optimus Prime - collect all 20 Autobot icons
2. G1 Megatron - coll all 20 Decepticon icons
3. "Pride of Bumblebee" Achievement - collect all 40 icons

The descriptions here are intended to get you to the right spot with minimal
difficulty in finding the icons. Because the mini map lacks cardinal directions
this guide uses a combination of visual landmarks and game landmarks (the region
names that appear when entering an area).

These icons should be the same in other versions of the game on other consoles.
The main difference is obviously, the "Pride of Bumblebee" achievement will not
be awarded.

If you have a more detailed description of an icon's location, please contact
me at [email protected] to have it added to this list.

-----------------------------------[ FAQs ]------------------------------------

1. What do the G1 Optimus and Megatron look like?

  G1 Optimus Prime
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rpPtLx4nA4

  G1 Megatron
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GE-LXtcg7c


2. Are these just repaints like the codes give you?

  No! These are not skins like the codes. These are actual replicas of the G1
  models of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Optimus Prime turns into a flat cab
  truck. Megatron should turn into a gun, but as there would be nobody to
  shoot hime, he instead flies for his transformation.


3. I can't find xxxx...please help!

  *SMIRK* Can't help you there - post on the GameFAQs for some additional help
  and then send me the more detailed description so I can update the document.


4. Can I unlock the G1 models with codes?

  To my knowledge, the only method of unlocking the real G1 models is by
  collecting all of the secret icons.


5. How do I use the G1 characters?

  First, acquire the respective icons.
  Then, turn them on in the Bonus Features section of the main menu.
  Now, pick a level that you use the respective character in.
  For example, for G1 Optimus, I can pick "More Than Meets the Eye" if I have
  completed that level to play as G1 Optimus.
