There are a LOT of toy-based and toy-inspired designs in this game, such as Megatron, the Seekers, and Breakdown being based on their CW toys, Prowl using his CW toy's vehicle mode parts in a traditionally G1-styled robot mode, Bludgeon being loosely based on the ROTF toy, Blaster and his small friends all based on their Titans Return toys, and there's even a look at a very Titans Return-looking Soundwave

I sincerely hope this game bumps DeNa out of the Transformers game market completely and that Backflip will run this game better.

All playable characters in Devastation are Autobots.Carnivius_Prime wrote:If RotF-inspired Bludgeon gets put into Transformers Devastation as a playable character I would buy that game. I'd love to jump around hacking and slashing with samurai swords then turning into a tank to blast the crap out of stuff. Autobot limbs flying all over the place...

It will, as Hasbro now owns Backflip.Kyleor wrote:Looks like 'Transformers Clash of Clans'

I think it looks pretty fun. The character models look cool. I might try it out.
As for the pay to play. I played Dragonvale for a long time without ever having to spend a red cent. So I bet it's possible with this one. Just takes a lot of patience. I like how this game has some Dragonvale elements to it, or Clash of Clans, like Kyleor said.
I like building forts.

Hence why I haven't felt compelled to buy it yet.

The game itself may be a little similar to other RTS ones, yes - but believe you me, the attention to Transformers detail is truly impressive!
I mean: Cullen, Welker, a new music album, toy and cartoon designs, dialogue snippets, and just you wait for more.

Also the Beta says it's incompatible with all my devices, yet mine should be compatible according to what they list as the only requirement. Maybe they don't want anyone getting it anymore? Has anyone played the Beta?
Edit: I found the APK elsewhere, it installed fine, started fine, the graphics look sweeeeeet on a Galaxy S3 (definitely does NOT look like the Beta of a game), and probably look better on a bigger/newer screen.

As far as I'm aware, the Beta is only open to certain regions/via invitation. Only pre-registration is allowed for now, with full release coming in April!
