The recent iOS update just seemed to add intrusive adverts as you are about to start a level. Not as a boost but the game just stops and an ad plays.

So far Im up to level 73. I havent bought any crystals but I did spring for the Jenga mode which is ok.

I think they need to reduce the amount of coins needed to unlock things as its just getting silly and repetetive now.

Oh, the ads are downright horrible. They appear at any time, for no reason and block progress. Fortunately, some ads will allow you to double up on rewards, so that's good.

It's ridiculously repetitive, and needs something to break up the monotony. The recharge times are just a way to make money and all those poor kids will burn through their supplies fast. In-app purchases, here we come. Not to mention, the Telepods, too.

It's like a printing press for money. I'd love to be Rovio.

Those Telepods, were they exclusive to a specific retail chain?

Check it out by following this link, and find out more below.

Rovio’s latest game, Angry Birds Transformers, boasts one killer soundtrack. You may notice that the tunes in the game sound similar to those from Transformers: The Movie. That’s no coincidence! Rovio teamed up with Vince DiCola, who composed the music from the 1986 animated feature, and music industry vet Kenny Meriedeth, who infused the tracks with the tasty analog synth sounds that defined the '80s! Give it a listen for yourself!

Played it last night, its loads of fun. Its very repetitive, but I have not gotten tired of it yet, very retro.

For those with Android devices and have played the game. Have any of you connected to Facebook to add your friends and not had any problems?

Since doing so on both my Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy S5, whenever I go to play the game it pops up asking to give permission to access my Facebook and regardless of whether I say yes or no, the game then closes.

No, they're available through all retailers, it's just a matter of whether or not your local store wishes to carry them. Mine don't.

You'll need to uninstall it and then reinstall. I had problems connecting it to Facebook, but after the third and final time, it worked and hasn't given me any problems since.

Yeah, my store only carry the janga block angry birds toys (the non transforming ones). They still give you in game stuff though, just dont know what. If they ever go on sale, I might get one.

I wanted to ask you guys something, which characters do you like best. Bludgeon never seems to dissapoint me. I also really like Galvatron for his precision and power, but he lags at the worst moments. Soundwave was awesome early in the game but he is just too slow when things get hectic.
And Ultra Magnus can be amazing with upgrades, too bad he isn't that great early on. I am not a fan of the Terrence bird transformers (Sentinel Prime and Hotspot). I am almost at Level 40 so I dont have anyone beyond Blaster.

I like Grimlock now he's powered up a bit. Soundwave/Blaster are good but vulnerable to those blasted washing machine missiles. I seem to get bit one and then get splatted by falling towers far too often.

same here

Has anyone purchased the Jenja mode and if so what is your top score? I got 114.

Like other Angry Birds Transformers characters before him, we now have a short clip showing off Deceptihog Chef Pig in his best Soundwave imitation, courtesy of the official YouTube account for Rovio Entertainment. Check it out embedded below!

Zat's MONSIEUR Soundwave to you!

Suggested to my fiancee she try it, she loves it! Says she's addicted.

I hate those fraggin' things, especially when you have a slow firing character, or there's nothing around to charge EMP or shields. Oh, and the mortar walkers and the shotgun pigs? Those need to go away or get nerfed right quick. Sick of replaying the same levels over and over and over and over and over and over 'cause I get one-shotted by them.

I have a new complaint. The level difficulty indicators are damn liars. I have a level with Grimlock that is marked as easy and about halfway through there is a barrage of missiles and walking mortar launchers that just pummels you in an instant. Yet I have waltzed through levels marked as hard or very hard without issue.

I think I'm on the same level. Wait until you get the shotgun pigs.

Sometimes Starscream just explodes. In an 'easy' level.

Yep, this has happened to me. 15 to 20 seconds in and he's done for. He really needs those shields.

I've had durability issues with Soundwave and Lockdown, but they where both fixed with upgrades. Starscream will take 34000 coins and 9 hours for that upgrade. That's kinda... much.

To get Lockdown from 7 to 8 is 115,000 coins. Grimlock from 6 - 7 is 73,000.

Most of my guys are at level 6. I always upgrade the cheapest option.

I am getting a little tired of the grinding to get coin though. I have saved up 500+ crystals so I could use a few.

Well, I've just started a 17 hour upgrade on Starscream, just to beat one 'very easy' level. I'm not even sure that's gonna work, given that the last 9 hour upgrade did not do anything.

As it stands now, Starscream is useless.

On a related note: Bludgeon is the most awesome thing ever.

I quite like Megatrons black hole weapon that sucks all nearby items in.

Was wondering about the size of the island and the number of characters available. I have 7 characters left to unlock but the island is huge. Makes me think that either the rest of the island will be unlocked bit by bit with app updates or there will soon be nothing left to do other than clear the clouds.

I managed to get Starscream through his easy level by making sure I had help whenever it was available and keeping an eye out for the shields. His next update is that 17hr one.

Yeah, I'm testing that one right now. Only 15 hours left. I'll probably do a little dance when I clear that horrible level. I just can't stand not being able to beat it. A huge upgrade like that will get me stuck at level 67 for today. Grr...

So, are the characters you free and their locations random? When did you get Megatron?

I don't think they are random. I think every bit of cloud cover has a character under, at least I can't remember clearing cloud and not finding more characters underneath.

Its getting silly, I'm waking in the night to gather my coins so they can start collecting more....do I have a problem?
