Leaderboard Prizes

Due to an issue in our last leaderboard event, we have made some minor changes to the leaderboard prize rewarding. Click here to visit our wiki and learn more.

New Characters

When your bots are becoming battle-worn, you can rely on Medics to step in and keep them on their feet. Prepare to make some room in your teams for new bots First Aidand Reflector.

First Aid (Medic)
Highly empathic, First Aid really feels for those he treats, and so works tirelessly to repair the seemingly endless damage caused by war. That laudable character trait makes First Aid slightly reticent in battle, but he knows that in the end if the Autobots don't fight - and win - the hurting will never stop for anyone, and so he struggles on.

Deploy Medibots - Deploy two Medibots, each with an ability to shield friendly bots blocking 40/45% of incoming damage.

Reflector (Medic)Three bots (Viewfinder, Spyglass and Spectro) in one, Reflector exists to observe, record and document - in other words, spy on people. He (they) love to find fault in others, and learn their weaknesses, so that he (they) can later exploit that shortcoming.
That said, in a crunch, six hands are better than one.

Reflector Team Up! - Summon Spectro and Spyglass, each with an ability to shield friendly bots blocking 40/45% of incoming damage.

Balancing Changes

We are always making adjustments in-game to ensure fairness and balance across all players. Please see the latest changes below which are coming your way on Thursday March 23rd.

Incendiary Barrage (Swindle/Sunstreaker) now displays approximate damage instead of duration (stats unchanged).
Whirlwind (Octopunch/Seaspray) cost reduced from 5 to 4.
Earth Shatter (Optimus Maximus/Bruticus) - Cast range increased by 1. Damage to walls increased by 16%.
Bruticus - Frantic Rage ability range corrected (was not matching Optimus Maximus).

Twitch Stream

Highly empathic, First Aid really feels for those he treats, working tirelessly to repair the damage caused by war. Three 'bots (Viewfinder, Spyglass, Spectro) in one,Reflector exists to observe, record and document. Join Deb and Adam LIVE Thursday, March 23rd @ 5pm UTC to see the new bots in action!

FINALLY, a third medic! This should've happened ages ago back when extra squads first hit; if I was still playing this game I'd be over the moon right now.

Most of the top players don't use medics anymore, so in that light, this is a really terrible leaderboard. But at least it's better than than the last one!

Find out what brings Optimus Primal and Megatron to present day Earth. The Beast Wars adventure begins this weekend!

Primal Instinct

In an unusual turn of events, Grimlock has had a stroke of inspiration! An idea so simple, so single minded, so straightforward -- that it could have only come from the Dinobot leader himself!

Only time will tell if everything will go according to plan…

New Characters
Over the next few weeks we’ll be giving our VIP players an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our new Beast Wars characters.

Though young and untested, Optimus Primal soon rose to the challenge of leadership.

More down-to-Cybertron than his legendary namesake, and prone to stuffy speeches, Primal is nevertheless committed to the Maximal codes of honor and duty and is brave and selfless in battle.

But he is not above finding unorthodox solutions to problems - in his own words, "sometimes, crazy works".

Though fierce and ruthless like his namesake, and determined to further the Predacon cause whatever the cost, Megatron's true art lies in manipulation.

Why do yourself what others can do for you, is Megatron's credo.

Cunning, patient, Megatron orchestrates his vast schemes with the precision of a virtuoso. But his twisted sense of humor and overdeveloped sense of drama make him a little too fond of his own cleverness.

Next week our art team will give you an insight into the creation of the new bots and their transformations.

What's New

Our latest update rolls out next week to all players and includes multiple bug fixes and alliance improvements!

Beast Wars: A new series of characters and events, featuring story from TV show writer Simon Furman.
Alliance Improvements: Battle Replay channel and an additional Officer.
Bug Fixes:
- ‘Autobot Outpost’ text appeared for Decepticon players in some cases.
- Further reductions in overall memory usage to improve game stability on iPhone 6, iPhone 6+, iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 devices.
- Battle Replay results appeared the opposite way for other members of the alliance. Battle replays posted for a defence win appeared as an attack defeat when viewed by other players.
- Combiner timer no longer displayed in squad select for alternate faction.
- Camera movement is now correctly restored after a Combiner’s death.
- Bot behaviour improvements during battles.
- Players will no longer see the alliance war failed message when they have battle attempts remaining.
- All players can now see the Headquarters level 15 unlocked achievement.

New Characters
Influenced by our love for the original 1990s Beast Wars show, we stepped up to the challenge of rendering the classic characters Optimus Primal and Megatron with modern technology to incorporate them into the game.

We looked to the Beast Wars toys as reference, which provided us with a foundation when rendering the new characters. With Beast Wars Megatron we made minimal changes, however we faced some difficulties with Optimus Primal.

In his toy form we felt that Optimus Primal looked a little unsettling, so we redesigned him with a more mechanical face plate. The real challenge when creating him was his hair, which had a chance to look unusual in 3D.

Whilst creating these new characters initially proved a challenge for the art team, we managed to succeed. This gave us the opportunity to continue the story from where series 3 of the 1990s Beast Wars show left off, assisted by the writing skills of TV show finale writer Simon Furman.

Learn about Optimus Primal and Megatron’s Battle Orders ability as game designer Adam gives you an exclusive first look next week!

Via the Transformers Earth Wars Facebook we have a new video showing off Optimus Primal and Megatron! These 2 characters have shown up on the loading screen and the event stories, and they are soon to arrive in the game proper. The video shows the 2 Beasts battling it out in the woods of Earth 65 million years ago. Mind you no actual gameplay is shown, but it is a cool advertisement. Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
