These updates. Bah.

I'm not sure why they're advertising this now, because I've had the updated version of the game for about two weeks now, I wanna say.

I finally unlocked level 100 and I don't care for those new levels even a slight bit. That fast forward/slo mo warp gate gimmick is getting on my nerves and if there's a way to use them to my advantage, it's out of my reach, because I can't figure it out. Had to cheat and have Skywarp take care of it for me.

Not all updates are great, this is a great example of such a thing.

At level 120 you get to pig city, which is way more fun.

Looks like Rovio pushed a stability patch last night. Did anyone else update?

And of course I'm still finishing missions just for another one to disappear without me getting coins and piggies. :HEADHURTS:

Yes, this still happens. I have also noticed that the invisible death bug is still present on some levels. Its very rare though.

Hit level 201 last night.

Just had my Level 8 Galvatron die in the first 30 seconds of a level. :michaelbay:

At least you can get rid of the level using Skyearp.

Thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertron.com member kaliaticus, we report that Rovio has released a new update for the Angry Birds Transformers mobile device game,to include new structures on the map, as well as upcoming features and challenges and two new playable characters, whose identities are yet unknown. Are you still playing the nostalgia-ridden game? In either case, check out some screenshots of the updates below!

Interesting. Just got all my characters up to level 9 and in process of getting first one to level 10. Glad there are new things to do as was getting a little bored.

The 2 new characters are under the group "Valkyries". Make what you will of this!

I stopped playing weeks ago. Such a long time between updates and such a long time between levels, I just lost interest.

No iOS update in the UK yet.

I played a little of this game, out of curiosity. It was sad. Where the original Angry Birds was a fun physics-based puzzle game where you could take your time, this was an on-the-rails shooter and an unapologetic cash grab to boot. It's not challenging as a puzzle, it's not fun as a shooter, and you're forced to spend so much time upgrading just to be able to survive the next level. I haven't played any of the other Angry Birds sequels or licensed titles between the original and this, so I don't know if the change to Pay To Win is standard by now or not, but I really don't like it. The levels go by too quickly and the automatic aiming takes out a lot of the challenge that made the original what it was. I'm just glad I didn't play this game long enough to dump any money into it, unlike Transformers Legends, which got more of my cash than it deserved before I quit.

We should start an organization for survivors, and also reach out to help those who are still sinking money into that thing and save them.

both heads kinda look like the arcee bird (as shown at the start up screeen of the game and in the comics)

Well I can safely say this was a pointless update.

There's no new areas. Oh sure, there's a couple of new things to tap on ... but they're "coming soon".

Fortress Maximus in city mode is for your Friends.

Trypticon is now Skywarp's base ... Skywarp now needs repairs, at 5K a pop.

Update ... yeah ... updated with "coming soon". Rovio has really dropped the ball with this franchise, and that's disappointing because they've done such a great job with Angry Birds as a whole, and with what they did with Star Wars.

The game was fun until it became a grindfest to get enough in-game currency to do anything.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Mar 27, 2015 9:44 am

I just started playing, but I can definitely see the potential for a grind.

Still fun for the moment though.

You dont really need to grind the game. You can just collect the coins on the map every 4 hours or so. Save your double coins video bonuses for when you have scored big on a level. Then only real wait is the wait for a character to level up. Takes 2 days + when you get to level 9 or 10.

had lots of high level characters and this update completely reset it all. thanks a bunch rovio..... :BOOM:

Stella spotted as a non-playable character, looking a whole lot like Bayformers Arcee!

I'm very fortunate to not have lost my level 221 (but I always backup with Titanium Backup just to be safe.) Also for grinding, Jenga Mode is the only thing you need to buy. Though it's not really needed to grind as after you collect full squads, you get multipliers. My own rule for deciding to watch a video to double points, is if the coins are more than 10x your level - so if you are level 100 then you don't double unless you get 1000 coins.
