Crystal Shards

We’ve been listening to your feedback and in our next update we’ll be adding 2 Star Crystal Shards which you’ll receive whenever you get a duplicate one star bot, alongside 1,000 Energon and 200 Spark.

When combined these can be used to purchase special character crystals which guarantee a two star Autobot or Decepticon!

Wait, it's out already?

Not in the States. It's in limited beta release in some territories.

[Dutchbot]

I have been playing the game for a couple of weeks now in The Netherlands. It's quite good. Just wish there would be more missions.

Everyone who's gonna play the game and will be looking for an alliance: Primus Knights are looking for members.

[King Kuuga]

I installed the new version. Interestingly, both of my Scavengers (I had a 1 and a 2 star) got bumped up a level, so now I have a 2 and a 3 star Scavenger. They tweaked the ship, and the recharge times. Overhauled the strike level of bases, which I like. If my supposedly 1600 power team could take a base that recommended 2400 power, something was up. Not sure yet what all else has changed. Hopefully I can get some of those new bots.

Oh, with the addition of Tantrum, Headstrong, Rampage, and Divebomb, they now have all 5 Predacons in the game. Wonder if we'll see the option to combine into Predaking, and other combiners, soon.

EDIT: Managed to pull Tantrum from the space bridge...... don't tell Hasbro but I'm pretty sure they modeled him after MMC's Bovis.


I compared it to his toy and various fictional depictions and it doesn't resemble them nearly as much as Bovis. SpaceApe, I see what you're playing at.

Howdy fellow Seibertronians, we have some exclusive character art created for Seibertron.com by the Transformers: Earth Wars art team to share with you. They've included a character bio along with the artwork. The inaugural character is none other than everyone's favorite news admin's spirit animal, Alpha Bravo!

Alpha Bravo

Forget speed - that's for others. Alpha Bravo is all about precision and manoeuvrability - his helicopter alt. mode tailor made for getting into tight spots no other flyer can reach.Nevertheless, Alpha Bravo has the tiniest bit of an inferiority complex when in the company of his fellow Aerialbots, and sometimes takes unnecessary risks to prove he's every bit as good as them.

Alpha Bravo is all about precision and manoeuvrability - tailor made for getting into tight spots.

I was lucky enough to recruit Alpha Bravo to my team and snapped a pic of his in-game profile page. He shares the same ability as the other gunners but stands unique as a flier.

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I have a new wallpaper for my phone

[Deadput]

All hail the Alpha Bravo Alpha Bravo the most Alpha of Bravos Seibertron's residential Alpha Bravo Alpha Bravo everyone.

[King Kuuga]

So nobody's going to talk about how Tantrum is clearly MMC's Fortis? Okay then.

I also recruited Rampage, who seems to follow the Grimlock model of his alt mode being his default. Interesting.

Good to see AB getting representation, wonder if he has a 'con counterpart. Offroad, are you on the horizon?

It seems alt mode is the default for all the beastformers.

Keep an eye out, you may see some more new bots here or there.

[Madeus Prime]

It's glorious! *Insert Alpha Bravo Emoji* (Get on this people!)

[Broadside27]

I really like the extra color, especially on the hips. I love these renders.

I've now recruited three of the five Predacons (Headstrong is my third) and only Rampage defaults to beast mode, so I'm going to call that a "no".

Looking at all the available bots now, there are 27 Decepticons to choose from: Megatron, Bludgeon, Soundwave, Skrapnel, Kickback, (where is Bombshell?) Soundwave, Shockwave, the Seeker quartet (counting Slipstream), Breakdown, and all the Constructicons, Predacons, and Combaticons. i hope these complete combiner teams mean combiners are in the next update, or at least we get some impetus to use team members together.

I'm hoping for combiners as well. Completing the latest campaign suggested just that when the Enigma of Combination was found.

*rampant speculation warning*

Here's what I would like to see happen with combiners. If you deploy an entire team, you can spend all your ability to combine but you loose control of the combiner until the battle is over.

[Burn]

pfffffft. Aside from abilities, you have no control anyway, so no big difference.

Howdy fellow Seibertronian gamers. Today Seibertron is proud to bring you a couple new Transformers: Earth Wars videos straight from the developers themselves. First up is a Grimlock demo and walkthrough on how to best use the raw power of the raging Dinobot.

Next up is a pro-tip video on how to advantage of the gunner class's rocket barrage ability on cluster defenses.

So when exactly *is* the release date?

Hasn't been announced yet, but the media push has been getting more intense lately.

My un-educated and un-official guess would be "soon-ish"

[Kyleor]

So when exactly *is* the release date?

You can get the APK for the Android Beta version and play now

[noctorro]

So when exactly *is* the release date?

I totally feel this one.

Why don't they mention that in the newspost?
Why tease the hell out of it for months?

I already forgotten about the previous mobile Transformers game that was teased the hell out of.
Did that actually get released? Is anyone playing it?

Well 2015 gave us Transformers Battle Tactics, which was released in February or March and officially shut down earlier this month. Is that what you're thinking of? The only other game I can think of is Transformers Universe, which was a LOL-esque browser game that was cancelled in beta.

Earth Wars's dev team seems pretty committed to the "Spring" release date, which gives them roughly one more month to release as the official first day of Summer is June 20.

It's time for another round of exclusive character art created for Seibertron.com by the Transformers: Earth War art team. This time we've got the fiery tempered Dinobot Slag Slug.

Slug

Considering he's one of the good 'bots, Slug is as nasty and mean-spirited as they come, and resents everyone from Optimus Prime down.The actual process it takes to build up a fiery (3,000 degrees centigrade plus) blast and reduce an enemy to molten slag is hardly energy-efficient, but he doesn't care. It's firepower well spent in his book. As he often says, "I have no need for friends, even less for enemies."

I hope these designs lead to toys. FOC's Grimlock is so lonely....

[King Kuuga]

He clearly doesn't look like any recent Slug toy (since the only one is from AOE anyway), is this Slug also modeled after a 3P toy like the Predacons are?

[Sabrblade]

Maybe it's just modeled after the G1 toy/G1 character model with some updates to its design.
