Question for Burn (or whoever else has the telepods). The telepods give you bonus missions with the character you purchase. The telepod missions consist of a corrupted area on the map with the telepod logo on it and your character's head. When I play the mission, it doesnt show how much money I get or how many pigs I destroy. We dont even get an end screen. Astrotrain just flies away and the telepod section goes back to normal on the map. So my question is, what are these missions good for. Do you actually get anything out of them?

Re: Angry Birds Transformers Update (1627759)
Posted by Burn on December 6th, 2014 @ 5:04pm CST

I haven't used the Telepods with the new update yet, will try it out and get back to you.

Re: Angry Birds Transformers Update (1627942)
Posted by Skyfire77 on December 7th, 2014 @ 3:15pm CST

I've been going back and forth with Rovio since last month about a glitch in the game where it'd crash if I tried to watch the after mission video, so I'd loose out on the coins and piggies I'd earned, let alone the bonus. It's gotten worse since the update.
It's crashing mid-mission now, usually when I get hit by the &*$(#ing washing machine missiles. I'll also have buddies drop in, then either not move, or not actually fire at anything. This would also cause the transform and special buttons to become unresponsive. They've finally admitted there are "performance issues" on Samsung tablets, but no ideas on fixes yet. You'd think they'd beta test this stuff first...

Re: Angry Birds Transformers Update (1627966)
Posted by Burn on December 7th, 2014 @ 4:52pm CST

I have the odd mission where the game will exit when I'm hit with the scrambler missiles.

And that's on a S5.

Re: Angry Birds Transformers Update (1627989)
Posted by Skyfire77 on December 7th, 2014 @ 7:10pm CST

Yeah, there's quite a few complaints in the Play store from various Samsung phone, tablet and phablet users, either crashes or glitches. I just tried another Prime mission where Bludgeon dropped in and just froze in his "landing" pose. After that I couldn't transform and got nailed by a mortar tower.

The washing machine bit with the missiles is standing on my last friggin' nerve.

Question for telepod owners.

I'm on the fence about them.

When I buy, say, Optimus, does that toy work on both Energon Optimus and the regular guy? Or is it that I have to get a separate toy for that?

Thanks.

Re: Angry Birds Transformers Update (1630109)
Posted by Ravage XK on December 15th, 2014 @ 6:31am CST

I have found another bug I think. Only just started happening. When I start a level every couple of seconds the screen shakes and a chunk of health is lost, even if nothing is shooting at me. I have been able to stop it by using the EMP but it doesn't always work. Now when I notice it I just quit the level as there is no way to earn over 600 coins needed to recharge fully.

It just works on the regular guy. Hence why they also have the energon racers pack:
http://www.toysrus.com/buy/games/angry-birds-transformers-telepods-energon-racers-pack-a9534-43995696

They get cheaper the more they are bundled, buying them individually can get very expensive. I just bought two 2 packs and that helps me enough. I get to save the coins for 4 characters as I recharge them and that compensates enough for the coins I spend on recharging the characters I dont have.

There are ultimate characters now (ultimate megatron, ultimate Optimus) but they do not have telepods yet.

And I still dont know what those telepod events do or are good for since nothing you do in them gives you any points.

Thanks. That's something of a dissapointment. Still, my current obsession with this game should be materialized, I think. And it saves coins for at least one guy. Those Energon guys do like to die.

There's a new update available. The 'coming soon'-clouds are gone, new characters are available and Astrotrain has a christmas tree on board.

Yay!

Re: Angry Birds Transformers Update (1632562)

Well, I've checked out the new characters. Grey slam Grimlock, Brawl, Jazz (finally) and Thundercracker (also finally) are available. There's a new landscape (a city) to play and there are teams now, and Energon team, a Target 200 team and so forth. Also there are costum items for sale with Energon crystals and new achievement to be unlocked. Basically a big, fun update.

That's awesome! And perfect in light of my purchase of the energon telepods pack that was discounted at Target.

Also, if anyone can answer, I still have no clue what those telepod events give you in return for playing them.

Next to your characters, in the upgrade section, there's an autobird insignia. Tap on that. That will also show you biographies. The teams indicate what bonus you get at the end of each level. Say Ultra Magnus and Galvatron pairing up gets you a +40% coins, as they are both in the Target 2006 team.

Mine crashes sometimes on scramblers or an excessive amount of getting shot.

Other than separating people from their cash, is there any point to the accessories? Does getting Prime the Matrix make him stronger or Brawl/Bludgeon the extra turret add firepower?

I don't think so. But it doesn't have to cost money, does it? Just save crystals.

Is there some kind of invisible force on certain levels? I've noticed I quickly die without getting hit but the screen is shaking and my character is jumping up and down.

Found the only way to avoid it is to just transform and bolt.

I felt that a few times. It seems like its the footsteps of those mechs destroying our health. Trasforming and bolting (till you meet them) works, but I found that upgrading past a certain level makes you immune to this early force.

Yes, usually either when there's a gauntlet of shotgun pigs, or the big mortar towers fire. I've also had Bludgeon (and his redecos) not be able to transform if they're below two hearts.

The problem is mainly prevalent with the Energon characters.Regular guys suffer very little from this.

I have had a new odd thing happen with this game. I can clear a level, the coins/pigs are added to my haul and the level is still shown on the map ready to be played again immediately.

Still no iOS update.

You sure you're getting the piggies and coins? I opened a ticket two weeks ago (still haven't heard from Rovio though) because I'm not; I'll play a level two or three times until it shows as cleared and I get the coins.

The wierdest thing just happened to me. I was playing as bumblebee on the level with the river and 2 background planes. At the end, I was in car mode and was slowed down by a rock that was in my way. I tripped over the rock and it slowed me down, making a monolith fall on me and turning my screen into giberish (like when Tvs couldnt tune into anything in the 90s). It then got back to normal and I was inside Astrotrain.

And I'm getting bored and tired of this game. My level 8 Energon Soundwave and Energon Lockdown died about or less than 10 seconds in the game. Energon Galvatron lives about 15 seconds. Energon OP usually lives around 20 seconds or if lucky enough can pass the level. Wait! Why most of the Energon characters suck? They cost a lot to upgrade and die so fast. My level 7 Bludgeon is almost unbeatable.

I have come to the conclusion a while back the Bludgeon is the best character of the lot.
