Also, the Spinister campaign is now live, if anybody didn't notice. It brought some changes from the last time: Easy is now only one battle instead of 3, Medium is 2 instead of 4, and Hard is 3 instead of 5. Also, a lot of characters have had their stats adjusted in what I assume is an attempt to rebalance the game. Lastly, the home screen has changed, so that's neat.

...aaaand Sludge/Slog gets the short end of the stick yet again - left out of the loading screen. Poor guy.

Important to ote: the Dinobots are in their original G1 bodies, and not either a new chassis, or the AOE body, or in Grimlock's case, his RID15 form

So no new spoilers.

I understand them changing Slag's name, since 'slag' has evolved into a foul word in some parts of the world. But why change Sludge to Slog?

A month ago he would have been a godsend to me. Now I have an all Super Rare team and I'll pick up Spinister, an Elite Rare, in a few weeks from the daily campaigns. Poor Slog is a measly Rare who can't keep up with my team of event reward bots. The power creep is strong in this game.

Maybe they lost the "Sludge" name.

I wonder if there's a chance of a Generations Armada Megatron repaint into Galvatron. This might be just a thing for the game if there are 6 different ones to unlock, but I wouldn't be too surprised at a repaint.

What are v1 and v2?

Re: Classic Dinobots Join DeNA Transformers: Battle Tactics! (1714823)
Posted by King Kuuga on July 31st, 2015 @ 12:30pm CDT

V1 is based on the Asian 3-pack release from last year, V2 is the Universe deco.

I can totally see Hasbro repainting CW Armada Megs into Armada Galvatron soon.

Maybe for an exclusive somewhere but I can't see them doing it for mass retail seeing as how much Armada Megaron has been shelfwarming.

And this game uses the design of the original 2003 toy instead of the CW Leader toy.

Funnily enough at my local Wal-Mart I saw 2 G1 Megs and no Armada Megs a few days ago. They're definitely selling, just not at an equal rate.

So I stopped playing this about a month after it came out...I got sick and tired of getting stressed out every time the game matched me with someone who had bought all their characters because we has a similar pvp score. Is that still going on?
