"For The Fallen" Skip, How to avoid second fight cycle with Brawl

A new skip for the mission "For The Fallen" has been found, by the user Spider-Man#7651, quoting him:

Spider-Man#7651: For the Fallen, there is 2 skips you can do with Brawl
1st one is obv, but if you move Brawl off the path you can skip another phase of the fight, just make sure he doens't get stuck

More in-deph explaination, to get this skip done you have to push Brawl off the path while you are killing the drones at 2nd cycle of battle, in the mission "For The Fallen" in the intended way you have to fight with Brawl and then you have a wave of drones, that you have to fight to go to next cycle, there's 3 cycles of Brawl Fight & Drones Fight, until the last fight where you kill him.

This skip allows you to skip the third battle with brawl and triggers the drone wave inmediatelly, saving around 30 seconds or even more.

After skipping the second battle with brawl, you have to push him off the road while you kill the drones that spawns after the "battle" you skipped, if you kill all drones and make it on time to next destination before brawl reach there, you will skip the third battle and drones will spawn.

There's a example video, if you have further questions feel free to ping me in the discord of Transformers Speedrunning EzeKah#0654: https://youtu.be/DGYxNAN6QoE

Blackout glitch for less Cycle Ironhide

Mission "The Mighty Will Fall"

In this mission, we have control of Blackout, and normally we have some waves of autobots drones before we can fight Ironhide, with this glitch, the point is to avoid most waves of autobots drones as possible and *oneshot* ironhide at the first fight

1. Fight the first wave of drones and get to the west on the center of the park.

2. Ironhide will charge against you, avoid him and punch him when he stops

3. Quickly, transform into helicopter and fly to the northwest of the park and reach the middle of the street

4. Spam the secondary fire button against the street and clear the way down the street

5. Ironhide will follow you transformed into truck, the goal is for him to follow you down the street at the center of the street

6. Hold the button you have assigned to "block" you, just in front of ironhide, in my case and most of the cases in PC is the "Q"

7. When he is very front of you (not too far, and not too close) while you are holding the "Q" press you melee button and you will do the special attack going forward to ironhide

8. If you do everything correct, you will do a lot of damage to ironhide while he is in "truck" form, in best of the cases, ironhide will die, and you will instapass the mission, but in the most of the cases, you will do a lot of damage to ironhide, but he will still alive, in that case, just kill another wave of autobots drones and repeat the process, if ironhide have low health, you will kill in that 2nd attempt in most of cases.

This glitch can save like 2 minutes in some cases

Blackout Glitch para reducir ciclos en la pelea contra Ironhide (guía traducida al español)

Misión "La caída de los poderosos" (The Mighty Will Fall) 

En esta misión, tenemos el control de Blackout. El objetivo es derrotar a Ironhide. Pero tendremos que derrotar a varias oleadas de drones autobots antes de que podamos combatir a Ironhide. 
El objetivo de este glitch es evitar varias oleadas de los drones de autobots e intentar matar a Ironhide en un solo ataque. 

Pasos a seguir: 

1.- Pelea la primera oleada de drones. Después, dirígete al oeste en el centro del parque.

2.- Ironhide te empezará a perseguir, esquivalo y golpealo cuando se esté cansado y detenido.

3.- Rápidamente, transformate a un helicóptero y vuela al noroeste del parque y acércate al centro de la calle. 

4.- Spammea el ataque secundario hacia la calle con el objetivo de liberar el camino. 

5.- Ironhide te seguirá transformado en un camión. 

6.- Presiona el botón que tengas asignado para "bloquearte". En el caso mío y en la mayoría de los casos es la "Q".

7.- Cuando esté enfrente tuyo (ni tan cerca, ni tan lejos. Puede ser un poco difícil de calcular al principio) mientras presionas la "Q", presiona la tecla asignada para usar la melee y harás el ataque especial dirigiéndote a Ironhide mientras dicho esté en su forma de camión.

8.- Si haces todo correctamente, en el mejor de los casos, Ironhide morirá y pasarás la misión de forma automática. Pero en la mayoría de los casos, le harás mucho daño a Ironhide pero seguirá con un poco de vida. En dado caso, simplemente mata otra oleada de drones y repite el proceso antes mencionado. Si Ironhide tenía poca vida, probablemente lo mates en el segundo intento.

Recomiendo ver alguna run para ver cómo se hace. 

Este glitch te salva como 2-3 minutos en la mayoría de los casos.
