Upcoming bots
Have you watched the stream last week? If not, you’d better check out as the team showed the new bots: Streetwise & Sinnertwin transforming into their alf forms in the showroom.
Stay tuned as we will reveal their bios and special abilities in the next newsletter!
Under investigation
Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:
We’ve been investigating more issues with walls and the battle engine. This is still very much work in progress so we cannot share any details at this stage
This is just an example of the reports that we've received from you and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.
We would like to thank you for your time and patience, and if you have any issues to report, please get in touch with us here: [url=mailto:support@transformersearthwars.com]support@transformersearthwars.com[/url]. Alternatively, you can reach out to us in game via Menu > Community > Contact Support.
Bug Fixes
The following bug fixes are coming to the game later today!
We received a large number of player reports regarding First Aid/Reflectorshealing stat not matching the amount they actually deal.
This issue was caused by the healing and bot power values being artificially high on the bots profile screen.
We have adjusted these values on the profile screen so they now match the effective power and healing of these bots on the battlefield.These changes are purely cosmetic and won’t make any difference for these bots healing or attacking power.
We fixed several issues affecting bots equipped with G1 Cores making them appear as the opposite faction bot in some specific situations.
We fixed an issue getting bots stuck on the spot walking.
Huffer and Lockdown's Special Ability turrets will now inherit a percentage of the health and damage stats from their creator. Please check the details on the wiki.
Solved bugs affecting Blasterand Soundwave’s minions making them die immediately after deploy.
Combiners could be previously be stunned by the Thunder Towers in Raid. This is now fixed.
After triggering an outpost and entering stealth mode, outpost bots were targetingSlash/Rippersnapper without attacking them, pushing the bots off canvas. It is now fixed in most cases.
Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast! ScottyP wrangles up Megatronus and xRotorstormx to discuss the latest reveals and releases in the Transformers toy world and what we can expect and hope for in 2019.
We kick off the show with the latest figure to be revealed from the Siege line, Leader Class Optimus Prime.
The cast also discusses some of the non-G1 homages we've seen over the years and which ones we hope to see in the future.
Next up, ScottyP has the G1 Reissue of Optimus Prime in-hand - do Megatronus and xRotorstormx need convincing when it comes to adding this to their collections?
Now, we've heard about a lot of new products hitting store shelves this year but what does the cast feel is the one they are most looking forward to?
Break out those genie hats, its time for us to make some bold predictions for this upcoming year.
We close out this episode with a short round of bragging rights

Who would have guessed Streetwise & Sinnertwin are the new recruits?!
Yes, they are joining the Earth Wars at the end of the current saga!
Streetwise (sometimes also known as Streetstar or Streetsmart) is a member of the Protectobots, a team of emergency, rescue and law enforcement bots. Other Protectobots already in the game are Hot Spot and First Aid. They were designed to protect humans from the Combaticons team that can combine into Bruticus.
In the case of Streetwise, our design was informed by the car whose design we thought looked really slick in the Generations Combiner Wars toyline.
Sinnertwin (sometimes also known as Twinstrike) is a member of the Terrorcons, a team of positively insane and exceptionally cruel Decepticons. They all have personality disorders and Sinnertwin’s resides in his sadistic nature when it comes to killing. He is the fourth Terrorcon to join the game after Hun-Gurrr, Cutthroat and Rippersnapper.
Our design for the game was also inspired by the Power of the Primes toyline.
Under investigation
Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:
Players have reported that the amount of healing provided by First Aid/Reflectordoes not match the value displayed on the character’s screen. We are working at aligning these values in a future content update.
This is just an example of the reports that we've received from you and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

Bug Fixes / Balance Update
The following bug fixes and balance update are coming to the game!
G1 Prowl &Brawl power core
We have updated the description of the G1 Prowl and Brawl power core. It now reflects more accurately the amount of extra damage dealt for every level of the core.We have fixed a bug affecting the duration of the fire effect created by the G1 Prowl/Brawl power core. Previously, it could last up to 12 secs doubling the amount of damage provided over time. It now lasts for 6 secs as per the description.
White Kremzeek
We decided to disable the ability of White Kremzeek to target the HQ directly. Taking down the HQ easily from afar goes against our design idea of battles and unfortunately the Adaptive Shielding core did not prove to be a sufficient counterbalance. We are putting the White Kremzeeks in line with similar strong effects like Death Ray. The White Kremzeeks will stay as they are in any other aspect and will still be very useful against other targets than the HQ or in raids.
This balance update will go live at some point this Thursday.
Twitch
King Starscream has summoned two new recruits to join his Cybertronian army. They are ready to fight and their identities will be revealed during the next stream!
Join Deb, Ioannis, Fabien and Jairo who will be talking about game improvements, new features, upcoming bots and more!
Next stream will be LIVE Thursday, January 24 @5pm UTC!
The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is gearing up for another year of toys and tie in media. Your host ScottyP along with Megatronus, Cobotron, D-Maximus and Jon3.0 discuss their in-hand thoughts on this year's newest plastic offerings, what toys are up next, and comics and media news.
Episode #215 "New Year, New Toys" is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we talk about during this episode:
We kick off the show with Siege Leaders Shockwave & Ultra Magnus - ScottyP and Megatronus have them in hand, and do their best to make the other cast members drool.
ScottyP similarly got his paws on the newly released MPM6 Ironhide, and provides some tips on how not to break yours.
On Studio Series, we discuss how we're going to fit the delicious #38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus into our collections, and compare the #31 Battle Damaged Megatron with its tidier predecessor.
The cast pines after the upcoming G1 reissues - Soundwave, Gears, and Warpath are all on the horizon - and gear up for the hunt at Walmart.
ScottyP is obsessed with Energon Igniters Soundwave, which totally isn't the beat up van your uncle used to sell Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead t-shirts out of in the 70s. Now the rest of us are obsessed too.
We answer illustrious News Crew member william-james88's question: "Have you noticed any improvements in distribution this year over other years? Were toys that you wanted easier to get than before?"
Coming out of nowhere, we wildly speculate about dropped hints about a potential Beast Wars animated movie. If you couldn't tell, we are fans of the idea.
We talk briefly about the IDW reboot, and some of the plot points and core concepts revealed thus far. We also take a look at some of the cover art revealed thus far, and hope for some strong stylistic choices going forward.
Of course we close out this episode with a short round of Bragging Rights.

A warm welcome into the New Year from the entire Transformers: Earth Wars team!
Looking back in reminiscence, 2018 was an amazing year for our beloved game. From a roster of new bots, new 5* bots, G1 power cores and skins, all the way to a whole new game mode with new currencies and rewards!
We really had a great year and are very proud of what we achieved. Even more so, we are incredibly happy to have you all with us.
Thanks for enjoying our game, and onwards to an even better 2019!

The Transformers live action film franchise's latest installment is out, with Bumblebee hitting theaters last week. The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast brings you its review of the movie, with host Scotty P and Tigertrack joined by longtime Twincast member Jon 3.0, now more famously known as Jon Bailey who achieved a dream by providing the voice acting talents for Soundwave and Shockwave in the film itself!
While this may go without saying for some, please be aware this episode contains complete spoilers for Bumblebee and we recommend listening in after you've seen the movie - and if you're reading this should have done so by now. If you haven't, it's great, stop reading this and go!
Here's the full list of sub-topics for this episode:
At the start and throughout the episode, we're extremely proud that the Twincast's own Jon Bailey was brought in to voice Soundwave and Shockwave in the film. Listen in for insight and insider information you won't hear anywhere else!
A general overview and discussion of the entire movie's plot occurs throughout, with looks at new characters like Dropkick and Shatter, as well as new human friends (and foes) like Charlie and Agent Burns.
We take time to reflect on not just the pop-culture references - including many to previous Transformers works of all kinds - but also on the characterization provided along the way which is found at an unprecedented high level for Transformers live action movies.
Is the toyline another poorly timed missed opportunity? Is the execution the problem? Either way you can probably guess we don't have nice things to say about Hasbro's merchandising contributions.
We conclude the episode with our holiday season bragging rights.
Thanks for listening in 2018, and we look forward to bringing you more fun Transformers discussion in 2019!

We have a truly entertaining and unique video to share with you today. It seems as though the Beast Wars guys continue to love the show they partook in, and continue to give us some great content as the years go by.
Today, we have a book reading done by Garry Chalk and Richard Newman, the voices of Optimus Primal and Rhinox, respectively! The book being read here, in full Primal and Rhinox voices, is titled "The Night Before Christmas" Beast Wars Edition. The book was written by Garry Chalk and Candice N. Santora, and it is Santora who posted the reading on Youtube.
This is a very fun story and entertaining read to listen to, so check it out below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
