New Characters
Two formidable combatants; Cheetor and Blackarachnia join Transformers: Earth Wars this weekend!
Full of youthful overconfidence, the devil-may-care Cheetor lives life to the full and at high velocity.
However, that reckless, full throttle attitude often gets him into deep trouble, sometimes more than he can handle solo (not that he'd ever admit it).
It's fair to say that Cheetor's overbearing enthusiasm sometimes grates on the nerves of his Maximal teammates. Nevertheless, they appreciate his speed and agility in battle.
Smart, alluring and dangerous, Blackarachnia has eight legs and knows how to use them.
She is the epitome of the femme fatale and, while she wears the insignia of a Predacon, has no great regard for Megatron's leadership and always looks out for number one first and foremost.
Forever planning and plotting, weaving devious web-like strategies to trap the unwary, Blackarachnia makes sure she always comes out on top.
Bestial Fury - For 15 seconds, use melee attacks dealing damage. Destroy buildings to increase your attack and movement speeds by 25% - the buff lasts 90 seconds and can stack 5 times.
Volcanicus revealed at HASCON!
Last weekend, we’ve joined the HASCON in Providence, Rhode Island.

Will our speedy feline be quick enough to escape a deceptive web?
Get your very first look at BLACKARACHNIA and CHEETOR's abilities on the battlefield!
Join us LIVE Thursday, September 7th @4pm UTC to see the new Bots in action!
Blackarachnia claims to be investigating the temporal portals that abducted Megatron and Optimus Primal.
Her true intentions are still to be unveiled.
Arachnophobia
The Maximals and Predacons have been leaderless and directionless since Optimus Primal and Megatron entered the time-space portal.
Due to this exceptional situation, Cheetor agrees to meet with Blackarachnia to discuss a temporal truce between the factions. She wants to analyze the remnants of the portal to uncover its origin and true nature.
But Cheetor is suspicious of her true intentions. Could there be a sting in the tale? Start Date: 01/09/2017 11:00 UTC End Date: 04/09/2017 11:00 UTC Prestige Allowed: 60 Bonus Experience: 200%

Under Investigation
We’ve had reports regarding bots who are assigned to an outpost that would follow aerial bots after they use a tank rush Special Ability on them such as Fire Rush and so on.
Thanks for all your reports, we’ve now been able to fix this. You should notice this no longer happens. Any strange behaviour, please let us know.
Lot’s of reports regarding replays not being viewable.
This issue is actually down to Android and IOS versions of the game being released at slightly different times. Once both platforms are at the same version you will notice replays will work as intended again.
There have been reports that Combiners could be causing people to crash or get disconnected during a battle.
We’re actively investigating this, and if anyone has a similar issue we would like to hear from you. If you have any steps which could help us reproduce this behaviour that would be very helpful.

STRONG MATCH-UPS:
Optimus Prime (MV1)
Starscream will be great against Brawlers like Optimus Prime, whose frequent combat buffs make them easy for this tactician to take down.
Sideswipe
Once Starscream has his Signature ability awoken be careful to consider what bots frequently activate buffs.
WEAK MATCH-UPS:
Iron Hide
This bot rarely activates buffs, making him untouched by Starscream’s most powerful abilities.
Bonecrusher
This Warrior relies almost completely on Damaging Debuffs, something Starscream has no answer to.
RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR STARSCREAM:
Nightbird’s Mark
Increasing Critical Chance and granting the ability to Evade more types of attacks perfectly complement Starscream’s cowardly tactics.
EMI Module
Starscream relies on his Ranged Attacks to deal the most damage. Weaking the Ranged counter attacks from opponent’s will strengthen Starscream’s hand when facing raider
