Comment by Seibertron Oct 17, 2019

Our friends at Space Ape Games just sent us a message to let us know some extremely exciting news for fans of the Transformers and GI Joe franchise. The Joe characters are teaming up with our favorite Cybertronians in their battles in the Transformers Earth WarsTransformers Earth Wars mobile gaming app[/url]. Cobra teams up with the evil Decepticons to battle GI Joe and the heroic Autobots ... an alliance many Transformers and GI Joe fans alike love to see happen. Check out the information below from Space Ape games along with the launch trailer for GI Joe's debut in Transformers Earth Wars.

Knowing is Half the Battle.

Flesh and metal collide as a group of elite fighters armed with state-of-the-art technology merge with the world of Autobots and Decepticons.

The G.I. Joe franchise is making its debut in Transformers: Earth Wars. Players will get the chance to unlock Joe team vehicle versions of Autobots Hound and Jetfire, and Cobra versions of Decepticons Soundwave and Skywarp. A pair of the new characters are scheduled to be released the week of October 21st.

Accompanying the new Bots in the Showroom and in-game Dialogue, will be appearances by G.I. Joe characters Duke, Scarlett and Snake Eyes as well as Cobra Commander, Baroness and Storm Shadow from Cobra.

The new characters will not only make a stunning visual addition, but fans will also get to enjoy some of their favorite G.I. Joe tracks, as the new release is bolstered by the original G.I. Joe Soundtrack.

Now you know.

Here are some screen captures featuring some of the awesome scenes from the trailer.

We are now one step closer to having an actual cartoon crossover.

Comment by First-Aid Oct 17, 2019

Did anyone else catch the homage to the GI Joe movie theme when the gang from Cobra were on the screen?

Also, did anyone else get goosebumps when the GI Joe trumpet fanfare played?

I so totally geekgasmed at this....

I feel sorry for any G.I. Joe fan that gets sucked into this money pit of a game because of this.

Same here; my HQ level is maxed out, I have a shield generator, and a complete 3-star Devastator. Have yet to spend any money.

Unfortunately I ended up in an Alliance where the only way to meet their expectations was to drop money now and then.

And then it reached a point where I was still not doing enough and that's when I left the game.

Money aside, it just became too time consuming.

Comment by Stargrave Oct 17, 2019

I’ll admit it I plopped maybe $10 at the beginning it was fun to do I don’t regret it. At my age with all I’ve got going on it’s like the only game I can play regularly. It’s like my electronic Transformers collection on the go :-D

I’m late to everything so I’ve only been playing a year. It’s not too stale yet and fun to try to save up for 3 stars. I hope this is a cool change for people to keep current players interested and bring back people who got burnt out on it.

My first few teams were full of people who never ever played now I’m just sitting on team Seibertron keeping the alliance posted of fun events and freebies. ;)^

I mean what is anyone going to do about this?

If someone wants to bankrupt themselves over a single game their gonna end up doing that one way or another.

Companies will always exist and attempt to get the biggest amount of money possible with the littlest effort and passion possible, as it is every year you need to make more money then the year before or be a failure, you can't make as much money as you were before.

Earth War's and Forged to Fight might end up shutting down some day when they stop being profitable, but afterwards the next game will pop up like it's happened to the previous mobile games.

You know that guy is the kinda guy who got five Unicrons. Y’know, just cuz he felt like it.

Comment by primalxconvoy Oct 18, 2019

Even though I wasn't for buying one Unicron, at least 6 of them would be better than virtual TFs.

If it was for a video game who's servers might not actually be eventually shut down and if it was a better game like some of the console TF games then I would argue otherwise.

But since it is for a mobile game that eventually will have it's severs shut down then yeah it kinda is a waste of money.
