I'm only HQ level 8 so it wouldn't make much sense to go so far up. But I'm nearly done upping all my things to max, so hopefully by the end of the week I can up to level 9

That was terrible and it only got worse with each letter of it I typed

That was a Cary or Cobotron level pun. You've already spent too much time in the Collectotron

Does the game constantly close for no apparent reason for anyone else? Starting to get worried my phone's getting terrible

You kidding? Skrapnel is AMAZING, full stop.

I wish I had him in 4*. Don't let his suppressed power rating fool you; Skrapnel's presence will add insane flexibility and survivability to your team.

Eh, I just never found him useful back when I only had 1- and 2-stars and I got his 2-star from the campaign. Once I got my 3-star Scavenger I found him to basically be a better Skrapnel in every way.

But if you're saying he's amazing, then good thing I got him

I have a hard time seeing how Scavenger could be better. His special is more expensive, and not impactful at higher levels. Skrapnel's special is easily spammed, and becomes more valuable the stronger you become. My 3* was a cornerstone of my team for a very long time for this reason.

Totes...

I absolutely love that bug. When I got my 3 star a few months ago I nearly screamed in happiness.

A lot of people have trouble using him though... and he sucks at low levels. But the dodoing and the stun spam... totally worth it post 30.

Aaaah that would explain it.
Outside of their specials are Scavenger and Skrapnel basically the same? Because in that case I'm very happy, Scavenger's dodging and stunning has been so useful. Plus it means I can pass Scavenger down to B-team to make them even stronger

What's good about Skrapnel's special?

It stuns in a wide area AND bleeds 1/3 of each building's health. It only costs 2 BP to start and goes up 2 each time, which lets you use it a lot. Plus, any building he attacks directly is also stunned, so he doesn't take damage from it, and he can dodge mortar shells which is a big plus. His attack range is short, which can hurt sometimes, but that's about the worst of it.

Happens occasionally when the phone's memory fills up, it usually restarts itself.

Pretty much, Kurona. The specials are their only true difference.

The stun is short, but like megatronus said, you can pretty much spam it because if the cost.

Keep him right up with the Warriors (he wanders if you don't) and you can stun the heck out of everything. That stun also does a damage tick, so you can still DOT away at guns/walls/outpost bots (like Scavenger) meanwhile they get stuck for a bit while the warriors wail on them.

Don't get me wrong, Scavenger's ability makes me giggle every time use it, I'm not knocking him, but Shrapnel works better for me because his does more.

Bee and Shrapnel are far too under used in my opinion.

Makes sense they'd make friggin' Bumblebee really good of all 'bots. I'll definitely look forward to when he gets to decent levels then.

Scavengers ability was awesome before they nerfed. You use to rush him across the battlefield and he'd rain down fire in his wake.

Now he just lobs a grenade (which is incredibly short distance) to rain down fire.

Dunno who you are but thanks for the resources.

You might want to watch the replay to see why I was able to by-pass 80% of your defenses and take you out in 55 seconds. Hint: It wasn't because of the strength of my team.

most impressive Burn

I'd so love to see that base.

Anyone know when the update with more squads, combiners and campaigns is coming?

Combiner campaign is supposed to drop this week.

You just went up the side, didn't you?

ctrlFrequency wrote:You just went up the side, didn't you?

You put a building close enough for Megatron to rush it, I'm gonna rush it. And then keep rushing until I'm slamming on your door and I don't care what lasers or mortars are raining down, I'M ON YOUR DOORSTEP.

Between the building being in range and that trail just to follow on up gathering up ap's... that's a dream base for Megs.

To accompany the various news coverage on mobile game Transformers: Earth Wars and the arrival of combiner in the game, Space Ape have released a new clip showing off Devastator and Superion, with some pretty cool combining animation and general fistpunching. Check it out below!

Combiners are out now! Play the new campaign and unleash the power of Superion or Devastator! Are you #TeamSuperion or #TeamDevastator ?

I wish the combiners were a bit more filled out. Devastator in particular looks really kinda hollow and dorky

#TeamSuperion

*flicks off the lights in the Seibertron HQ*

As much as it pains me to do this, we have decided to put Seibertron in stasis.

Our numbers have been suffering, new recruits nonexistent.

We had to stop wars because we weren't able to maintain enough people.

Because of this I felt the best thing to do was to close the doors to an extent, at least put her in stasis until we can come back together. We were going way too stagnate and still unable to get out if silver league wars.. which hurt too many if our members. Better, healthier alliances would serve them better.

We are leaving my second account as commander so we can come back at any time. So Seibertron is not dead, just not active.

II is staying open, any one not going to II, I can find a new alliance for you.

I did every thing could to keep her afloat, every deal we were working on fell through and we just don'the have much to offer for merging others in.

I hope that we can reform later and this is really not something I am happy to do at all. But there was no other choice.

Combiners = I'm out!
The combiners must be made out of 3 star and 4 star bots. 3 stars are possible, but not easy to get without paying money, the four stars are too hard to get without dumping lots of cash. AND then the only way to upgrade your combiner is spark that only comes from duplicates of the pieces of the combiner!

That would be fine and dandy if they were just a cool new toy, but they are incredibly unbalanced, they smash max bases without skill. I could spend all sorts of time maxing my base but it wouldn't matter if someone spent money to get a 4 star combiner. Thank you, Space Apes, I'm done.

I hate to see you go Kurthy-Murthy

First newsletter came through. Loot link wasn't bad at all - 1,000 spark; 10,000 Energon as an inventory item and a Premium Crystal.

Also I got 2-star Scrapper through a free crystal earlier so I now have every 2-Star but Gnaw. He's not quite available yet, though - same with Cyclonus, Galvatron, Nemesis Prime and Octopunch. And it's kind of been a while so I'm a bit annoyed at least Galvatron isn't available yet.

Upgraded Galvatron's Fusion Beam to level 4 recently and man am I glad I did. I take him to Zone 8s and he uses it to one-shot a mortar or two. Pretty fun.
