Transport Center is a room located in the Agon Wastes in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains a missile expansion.

Without Boost

It is possible to get to the second level of the room without Boost Ball. There are two methods of doing this.

Screw Attack Method

By going up the half-pipe, using the Space Jump Boots and performing a Screw Attack, it's possible to land on the second level.

Half-Pipe Climb Method

This recently discovered method involves tricking the game into thinking that Samus is standing on a particular point in the collision. If done successfully, Samus will appear to spontaneously rise, and will be able to stand far higher than is normally intended. This allows for Samus to simply jump to this part of the room.

Seeker Skip

Using a missile along with a well-placed Screw Attack, it is possible to break the seeker door without seekers.

Any% Comparison

The video below compares the Seeker Skip in this room with that of Transport to Torvus Bog, and finds that it is roughly two seconds slower in the context of an any% speedrun.

Secret World

Similar to the Secret World in Crossroads, it is possible to land on a tiny standable spot that allows you to go out of bounds. The only difference is needing to travel slightly longer horizontally because of there being no additional platform on the top level of the room. Due to the small length of the standable spot, it is considered TAS-only.
