Step to the Future
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?

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.
These are just a few examples of the reports that we've received from you, and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.
We would like to thank you for your time and patience, and if you have any issues to report, please get in touch with us here: [url=mailto:VIP@transformersearthwars.com]VIP@transformersearthwars.com[/url]. Alternatively, you can reach out to us in game via Menu > Community > Contact Support.

Wow...then hardly anyone will get enough to get a 5* bot.

Yeah they will, it'll just take time. This current rotation of 5* bots is being retired and another batch will take their place.
SpaceApe probably just realised that not many people have 5* bots (unless you're willing to pump thousands of dollars into the game) and have done the event this way to help people along.
But seriously, they can fuck off with their Energon.

Most certainly.
So I got another 3* from the event. Got all excited when the space bridge did its thing to indicate it was a new character and I was praying for the 3* Hook to complete Devastator. But then it was a 3* Onslaught... come on! I need Hook, and I already have the 4* Slaught!

A new dimension full of possibilities is now open and Blackarachnia is ready to kick off her plans of scheming and betrayal!


Not so Fast
Everything has gone according to the plan!
A new portal through space and time has opened and Blackarachnia’s latest allies are expecting her arrival!
Shocked, Cheetor responds too slowly to avoid being caught up in Blackarachnia’s web of deceit and is carried to a new dimension with some familiar old faces...

Over the weekend Hasbro Inc. revealed at HASCON a new Dinobot Combiner character, Volcanicus. This new character will make his debut appearance on September 21 in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, the award-winning combat strategy mobile game available for free from Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games on the App Store and Google Play. Coming in Spring 2018, fans of Volcanicus can construct this combiner when Hasbro releases five new Dinobot toys – Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Voyager Class Grimlock, Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Dinobot Slug, Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Dinobot Swoop, Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Dinobot Snarl, Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Dinobot Sludge.
In addition to Volcanicus, TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS players will also have a chance to access the fan-favorite Predacon Combiner, Predaking. These two characters are part of the Combiners Saga storyline, which features a new playable level and event story written by comic legend Simon Furman and the Space Ape Games team. Fans can get a glimpse of what to expect from the update before it is released on September 21 by checking out the new Combiners trailer out today.
TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS is a real-time combat strategy game that surpassed 10 million downloads within its first year. The game pairs authentic Transformers storytelling with fast-paced gameplay, beautiful 3D animation and hundreds of iconic characters with diverse strengths and abilities.

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.
There has been an exciting announcement of the brand newVOLCANICUS and the popular Predacon leader PREDAKING joining the Earth Wars on September 21st!





Under Investigation

Here are some of the issues reported that we've been investigating:
- We’ve had reports regarding some troops like Slog are still getting stuck on Sharkticons
- Some reports regarding Ratchet / Hook and some of the gunners drive backwards when they use their ability
- We are investigating this at the moment
- This issue has now be fixed and is expected to roll out with a future content release
- There have been reports that sometimes game crashes restarting the game after a connection loss
- We are investigating this, too. If this happens, please force quit and relaunch the game
These are just a few examples of the reports that we've received from you, and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.
We would like to thank you for your time and patience, and if you have any issues to report, please get in touch with us here: VIP@transformersearthwars.com. Alternatively, you can reach out to us in game via Menu > Community > Contact Support.
