I agree with you there. When you can't get a significant card, or significant rewards without spending money, well, I get better things to spend, or not spend my money on.

The card art is as always spectacular.

Printed cards would be awesome.

Triple changers with two alt mode cards to trans scan also should be appearing as should combined combiners.

This is so true, and I personaly hate it.

I agree...give me some rewards for the amount of time played as well as paid junk (I refuse to pay to play xD)

I finished the rodimus episode at 494 if I would have started and hour earlier on the last day I could have broke 150

Combiners would be EPIC.

But your idea of printed cards is more solid. I miss the days of good art in card form. Back before everything became CG and card games. I would buy a set of good TF cards by the team behind this game!

But I'm pretty done with this TF mobile game, so I'm not going to see much of the new stuff. Like everyone said, the rewards are few unless you pay.

This game feels like gambling to me. I understand funding the developers and paying for their work... but at this point, I feel a $60 game would be the better bargain. This game simply requires too much money to be invested to get anywhere at all.

The few level 4 cards I got are pretty worthless without the corresponding alt mode or robot mode. And the level 3 cards they give away like cheap candy are pretty weak. :-x

The only time I spend money is if I want an episode card and its the first 100 point one I try but $30 for ultra Magnus is nuts. I pull LV3 cards like nothing and they are pretty worthless these days if ur team isn't made up of all LV4 cards and at least one LV5 card it's pretty week. Since I started to play I pulled about 10 lv 4 cards from my gold medals. I've cashed in about 10k gold medals if not more. Once ur team is strong enuf to defeat the first 2 cards in an episode it's easy to stack up on cubes and battle cubes. If u don't like an episode play till u have to use more than 1 cube a battle than wait till the next episode. I can usually stack over 100 battle cubes b4 I have to use more than one to beat a card. U really only have to spend money if ur team is weak or u want an episode card.

Too much grinding if u dont pay to win. It takes HOURS of repetitive battles if u have lvl3 cards like me. Even more hours to get free lvl4 cards randomly. I find doing almost anything else much more rewarding.

I got most of my lv 4 cards for episodes and when I cash in my gold medals I get lv3 cards like its my job lol. I've already collected all lv 1 2 and 3 cards but lv 4 cards are hard to get but I did just pull a lv 4 jet fire but he's not that good of a card.

Well, I forgot to play the Galvatron event last week. I didn't want to retire with over 500 battle cubes and energon refills just sitting. I earned those afterall, so I might as well use them.

I've been going after it pretty hard, spending cubes like they are going out of style. This is the earliest I've ever gotten into the top 1000 in all of the episodes that I've participated in.

My cube total peaked at 580. So I've been throwing 1 and 2 cubes around like nobody's business, trying to get MVP on every boss I encounter. I feel a bit like Oprah: "You get a cube and you get a cube and you get a cube! Everyone gets a cube!"

We'll see what happens when the big Bee starts showing up. It would be nice to go out in a blaze of glory and beat my top finish, which was somewhere in top 400, I think. Good luck to all of you who are all in.

I'm all in for this ep and then I'm going all out.

It was fun for a bit. Gimme printed cards, Mobage!

Ah well, on to the next timesuck.

I hate how you can never get the back half of an event card after the event. I got the Bonecrusher robot mode during Heavy Metal War, but can now never complete the pair. They should make it possible to pick up the other halves from medal cash ins during a different event. Even if it's like months down the line, just knowing I could eventually finish off these sets would make me happy.
And I mean for the point rewards cards, not ones that people are paying for. Or maybe if there was a way to give me a chance to get rank rewards cards I'm missing via random draw. Like I've got robot Cosmos, but not space ship Cosmos. I'm not asking for a randomly drawn event Omega Supreme, just the other half to this one that I did "earn" in the event.

That being said, all I wanted in the Galvatron event was Gnaw, and I got him, and this time out all I want is bug mode for Barrage.

I just got back from a long vacation with no cell signal. I see I missed out on the galvatron rodimus event so that sucks. Also, it appears they have been fixing and patching a bunch of items to make the game better, except they keep avoiding that one big fix to lower all the prices or make the cards available through trading and the space bridge.

I'm only logging in to build cubes every now and then in hopes for a better game future. Until they add trading or somehow make a way to complete the cyberdex that isn't horribly expensive, I'm done playing.

Hope everyone else has fun, I'll check the forum every now and then.

Im done. They finally broke it for me. I had a total of 11 help requests during the final hour of the event, 4 of which worth 2500 xp or less. I was at 1100 all day long waiting for the rush to begin, and I got dicked on the help requests which makes no damn sense at all considering the allies I have. Cant spawn any of my own high point bosses, cant get any high point boss help requests, **** you mobage im out.

I've finally quit this game as well. spending $30-40 a week just to be competitive in the events is beyond ridiculous! i'm taking the money i'm saving by not playing this game anymore and using it on my real transformers collection (just picked up 4 of the igear mini warriors). i still check in on the game once a week to see the new card art, but that's it.

I haven't necessarily quit, but my fustration-induced hiatus is caused by my iPod. I've redownloaded the damn thing a couple times now to help get rid of the crashing, but it's even worse than before. I can't even access the Space Bridge without my iPod crashing and sending me back to its main menu. :BANG_HEAD:

Hello, new iPod wallpaper! :grin:

The game may be financially crippling (and downright annoying when it comes to crashing 99.9999% of the time), but the artwork is, as always, phenomenal!

So in this continuity, Dr. Arkeville survives Countdown to Extinction, then upgrades himself into Colonel T.R. Edwards?

This could be the just the stepping stone I need to have my Robotech-continued-in-Convertors fanfiction make sense!

Very cool graphic and I like the one sided helmet. He's not a 100% copy of Prime. I don't know though, I never liked the concept of Scourge/Nemesis Prime. I know it's to boost repaints, just as Magnus. But Magnus had the armor. With Nemesis I feel it's just another Dark Samus, or Dark Sonic, with no real purpose other than to be a threat.Nemesis I don't fully get why he's popular.

Quick question,Tf Legends is based on which continuity? Aligned?

by **Lord Manhammer '74** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:25 am

Alternators/Binaltechcontinuity apparently.http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_Prime_(G1)
I'm just excited to see Dr. Arkleville back.

Gatling gun smokestacks!! That NEEDS to be incorporated into a toy.

And the years have been very kind to Dr. Arkeville.

Everyone likes a good redeco, especially if it's one that represents an evil version of a character.

Hard to say, really. But, based on the fact that all the art (with the exception of Slipstream) is based on Generations toys, themselves mostly Generation One characters, it's safe to assume that Legends is something of a micro-continuity of Generation One.
