But man, they went kinda crazy with the toy-accuracy.

Then again, the other characters in this game are all toy-accurate too. They're just based on more modern toys like Generations and stuff from the TCC.

I don't see any pins or hinges or gaps in the vehicle bots, or at least they're not as obvious. They don't scream "toy" anywhere near as loudly. I mean, I don't mind the amusing retroness of Waspinator's grey noggin or the hints of the masks on the other 3, but c'mon, Primal turns into an actual gorilla. He doesn't need a button on his butt.

With the new update expanding leagues to ten members it's time to recruit...my league, Zombots, needs some more active players.

We play daily, we play the events, but we're free players. Only requirement to join is that you're warrior 1 level or higher, and that you're an active daily player.

Okay so I've been playing this about a week now. Apparently I've already missed my opportunity to complete Menasor and Superion? That kind of sucks, but I guess it's all about that $$$ for DeNA. I will not fork out for that, not like I did with Legends. It's a fun game and I think it would be much better if they charged a modest download fee, or offered cosmetics for money a la Valve, instead of this pay to unlock the best character nonsense.

As soon as I saw that the app includes in-game purchases, I decided not to even download it. I'm not going to waste my time on a Skinner Box.

Honestly thou, I've been playing this one since the beta release, and I haven't paid a cent. Yhea, i'm not going to have a shot at some of the hardest to get event pieces, but i'm doing OK regardless.

On that note, can anyone tell me if I stand a chance of picking up the exclusive Scourge as a free player? I figure if I keep leveling up through the month I can afford stronger characters that will let me beat the medium and hard campaigns to get the appropriate resources, but I want to know if I'm wasting my time.

Hard to say, yesterday I would have thought it should be fine, but today seems to be more of a struggle as the best team I can field for today's requirement is'nt very strong even when fully upgraded.

In a couple days it should be clearer.

Interestingly enough, I can put together a stronger team for today than yesterday. I've scraped through most of the Medium campaign with some good rolls. Looks like the final Medium team with all the First Strikers is going to wall me for today, though.

Anyone else not currently able to play? The game keeps failing to load for me since Wednesday.

Have you tried updating the app? They introduced a Bruticus event so your installed version might clash with what the server says you should have.

First thing I checked. Saddly not that.
I may need to try a reinstall.

Okay, now it's happening to me as well. And a lot of other people, according to the recent reviews on the Play store. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, restarting my phone, no dice. Something's broken.

They did an update earlier today, and I can connect on my phone again.

Good thing as I had to skip the last event, seeing my tablet could connect but it's so slow I was screwed anytime a live player was drawn.

At least I'm actually on track to get Scourge, and they dropped the event core requirements for Swindle, Blast-off and Brawl!?! to 20 cores. Onslaught is also available but I've no way to get him. These however look limited time only.

Totally forgot to mention that I found a workaround by uninstalling updates to Android System WebView, but now that there's a game app update that might be moot.

Despite being absent from the game for a few days my league managed to net not one, but two Brawls (second one showed up today out of nowhere, so that may have been an apology gift for breaking the game). This has enabled me to beat the medium difficulty on the Scourge events, so if I can recruit strong bots in other classes I may yet have a chance at getting him. I've also got enough Exclusive Cores (traded from Event Cores) to get most of the Exclusive characters that don't require character-specific cores, and last but not least I have 11 Vortex cores to throw at him when I have enough other resources to nab him. Good times all around!

BATTLE TACTICS IS SO BEAUTIFUL RIGHT NOW!

As an apology gift for breaking the game, DeNA has given all players...

I checked the forums, most people weren't happy.

Can't please everybody. For my part, I used my Exclusive Cores to buy an Astrotrain and I'll pick up an Event bot next time.

Indeed,
I would have loved to know that I had a Brawl before I started crafting one, I could have used those cores for Blast-Off.

Well now you have two brawls: One to fuse into Bruticus (if you can get his other components), and one to keep as himself.

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 1:25 pm

While very true, on the short term I would rather have had someone different I might have been able to use rather than a reservist sitting in the ranks.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Fri May 01, 2015 12:49 am

I envy whatever team you have, then. These two Brawls are taking my top spots no problem for where I'm at.

News Credits: 9 · by **Rainmaker** » Fri May 01, 2015 12:51 am

New event on, featuring the Insecticons!

Try and grab enough event cores for Kickback and Skrapnel and hope you get high enough to win Bombshell and Punch/Counterpunch!

I have a feeling half my team got shut out during the game issues and have yet to check/sign back in.

I don't want to shaft anyone by kicking them due to the game issue, but nor do I want to risk losing the guys who are playing cause the team isn't firing on all fronts.
