Special Abilities:

Defensor:

Blazing Fire: Jump and shoot a fireball dealing damage in a large area over 8 seconds.

Electrical Rush: Rush into combat dealing damage to the final target. You spread electrical fire along the way disabling targets and causing them damage over 6 secs. If you hit a target affected by Blazing Fire, the electrical fire propagates in a large area.

Abominus

Toxic Zone: Jump and shoot an acid ball dealing damage in a large area over 8 seconds.

Electrical Rush: Rush into combat dealing damage to the final target. You spread electrical fire along the way disabling targets and causing them damage over 6 secs. If you hit a target affected by Toxic Zone, the electrical fire propagates in a large area.

New Bots in Progress

You may already have guessed from Simon Furman’s in-game story but the next two bots to join Transformers: Earth Wars are the long requested Punch & Counterpunch.

Our design for the game was inspired by the Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes "Special Edition" Deluxe Class toy. You can get a sneak peek below:

Punch & Counterpunch are known to be the two sides of the same coin, two personalities in the same iron shell. This double characterisation really shows in the way their head is modeled so we asked our 3D artists to pay special attention to this:

Will this split personality be reflected in their gameplay? You will find out in next week’s newsletter when we will reveal their special ability.

In the meantime, there will be a full showroom reveal in this Thursday Twitch stream.

Lights. Camera. Cast your vote!

We’re putting YOU in the director’s chair! A brand new Transformers: Earth Wars trailer is in the works and we want you to direct part of the action!

The Autobots are going up against a new Decepticon foe of EPIC proportions.

Autobot fans: choose the Autobot you think has the grit to vanquish the mystery Decepticon rival.

Decepticon fans: choose the Autobot you most want to see crushed by your new secret weapon.

Which side will end up victorious?
Cast your vote at the link below and stay tuned for the big reveal next month!

Only a master of espionage -or counter-espionage!- can give the Autobots or Decepticons a much needed step ahead on their never ending war.

* Each Tool Box contains one of the following rewards:

Coming Soon: Gmetal

Get ready for a brand new Power Core tier to bring your bots and defenses to the next level!

Gmetal is a new rarity of power cores entirely, more powerful than bronze, silver and even gold! Power Cores of this tier can be obtained by two means:

Both Bot Gmetal Chip and Building Gmetal Chip will be available to buy in the shop using Prime Core shards
There is also a small chance to obtain a random Gmetal Power Core from a duplicate 4-Star bot

Gmetal level Cores are currently available for all the cores we have at the moment except time-limited Cores (XP Core & Golden Lagoon Core) with a maximum level of 20.

Gmetal Cores will go live with a content push this Thursday.

New Building: Combiner Beacon

Protect your base with a new defensive building - the Combiner Beacon! Assign a Combiner to defend your base and choose the defensive ability you wish to be used on defense.

The Combiner Beacon is only available at one level and will be unlocked once you reach HQ level 16 in the defense section of the shop.

Steps to use a Combiner on defense:

Assign one ability you've unlocked in the Combiner Lab.

Tap the Combiner Beacon building and assign the Combiner you'd like to use on defense.

Charge the Combiner Beacon for 24 hours with 10 Ore-13 (note: you cannot reassign a Combiner while the Combiner Beacon is charged)

You can double the duration of the charge by spending more Ore-13
Notes:

The Combiner will automatically appear amongst your other outpost bots and it will not affect the timing of the battle.
The Combiner stats while on defense will be affected by the Combiner Beacon same as normal Outpost bots are weaker in the outpost. The Combiner will have 30% of his total health but 100% of its damage.
Ore-13 Harvesting will be boosted from 1.25 per hour to 1.60 per hour.

Check out last week’s Twitch stream to see our team showcase this new powerhouse of an outpost! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/477225256 (around 00:32)

Combiner Beacon will be available after a content push this Thursday!

New Bots: Punch & Counterpunch

Two new bots are joining the Earth Wars at the end of the current saga!

Punch walks a tightrope - balancing his own somewhat paranoid persona with that of his hair-trigger alter-ego, Counterpunch.

Though outwardly he seems calm and in control, Punch is a tightly wound ball of insecurities, doubts and fears - certain that any moment he'll be exposed as a double-agent. Punch minutely measures his words, judging when to speak (if at all) and how much to say.

Nevertheless, there's a stoic and grim determination about him to see the job through, no matter what the personal cost to Punch's immortal Spark.

So complete is Punch's masquerade, his alter-ego Counterpunch is as much a Decepticon as the most committed and zealous of Megatron's acolytes. A talented actor with chameleon-like instincts, Counterpunch is every inch the merciless and violent character he purports to be.

The deception is sometimes so complete, he actually deceives himself - believing that Counterpunch is the real him and Punch the faction-flipped creation.

It allows Punch/Counterpunch to indulge his darker instincts with impunity, and though - thus far - he has remained loyal to the Autobots, many have cause to wonder whose cause he truly serves.

Covert Operation: You get undercover for 10 seconds and throw EMP grenades at defences dealing damage over time and disabling them for some seconds.

Under Investigation

Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:

Superion/Devastator are displayed as a grey dot in battle.

Bug Fixes / Improvements

The following bug fixes/improvements are coming to the game soon.

5-Star Silverbolt/Thundercracker: The damage over time effect from the special ability could be stacked multiple times on a single target.
G1 Power Cores Graphic issue
Nexus Prime Core Improvement
- When the bot equipped is in battle, Combiners on defense now receive additional damage.
- The % of protection against raid damage remains the same.

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.

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.

The kaiju sfx for Cutthroat were an epic touch.

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.

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

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.
