Upgraded Galvatron's Fusion Beam to level 4 recently and man am I glad I did. I take him to Zone 8s and he uses it to one-shot a mortar or two. Pretty fun.

And after the news we reported on with the new Transformers: Earth Wars trailer featuring combiners Devastator and Superion (see here), and the new VIP event over the weekend (covered here), we also have the official press release from Hasbro spotlighting the big bots arriving in the Space Ape mobile game! We also have another look at the trailer, and some extra images of the two new arrivals for the Autobot and Decepticon teams. Check it all out below!

TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS Rolls Out Super-Sized Update For iOS and Android Devices

Command the Biggest Bots in the Universe as Combiners Enter Real-Time Combat Strategy Game

BOULDER, Colo., November 10, 2016 – Hasbro Inc., Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games today released their biggest update yet to the popular real-time combat strategy mobile game TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, bringing fan-favorite Combiners characters Devastator and Superion from the iconic Transformers universe into TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS. Beloved by fans of Hasbro’s “Transformers Generations Prime Wars Trilogy,” the Combiners will be the most visually stunning and powerfully destructive bots on the battlefield.

Not all bots have the power to combine as these super-sized Combiners are robots formed by teams of five or more designated component bots. The landscape of the battlefield will change as players race to build these new characters and leverage their unique powers and abilities. Along with the new characters, the update will introduce new resources, buildings, and the Combiners themselves in a new campaign based on the first chapter in the Prime Wars Trilogy, Combiner Wars.

“Bringing Combiners into the game was a goal throughout development, and we couldn’t be more excited to have achieved this milestone for Transformers fans,” said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President, Digital Gaming and Corporate Development at Hasbro. “Combiners bring another level of authenticity to the game and a whole new mission for the player to collect, combine and battle at a new level.”

TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS launched in June 2016 topping charts and building a player base of six million downloads. Published by Backflip Studios and developed by Space Ape Games, the game breaks new ground for the genre, pairing authentic Transformers storytelling with fast-paced gameplay, beautiful 3D animation and hundreds of characters with diverse strengths and abilities. The game also features notable storytellers and voice actors from the Transformers franchise, including voice acting from Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime, and Frank Welker, the original voice of Megatron.

TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS is FREE to download, features in-game purchases, and is available on Android and iOS devices worldwide, except in Mainland China. Please note that a Wi-Fi connection is required to play.

Found something I was working on back at the end of August... (I never finished it because the Seibs Bot alliance started up again, and I couldn't come up with a good rhyme for idiotic that would fit in context)

Decepticon Blues

It was quiet evening up in the Seibertron HQ
All of the Alliance had gathered in the common room
Even the ones from Seibertron II (say it, it rhymes!)

Despite the stillness came a loud boom
"Get out here, CF!" Loudly yelled Burn
While That Bot went off to get a broom (the HQ is now a mess!)

"It's time for a story, it's my turn.
I'll tell you about a Seibertron for Autobots."
Burn muttered, waiting for Bot to return

"A Seibertron for Autobots?" Said Shauyun. "I think nots!" (Because Shauyaun would totally say that)
"They don't exist!" Quipped in Galaxy Prime.
And all the young Cons nodded lots.

Burn shook his head. "Then this is at the right time.
A long time ago there was another Seibertron.
An Autobot one, they aligned with the Prime."

"It's true they refused to join the side of the Cons,
Instead had a emblem that glowed all in red.
They had some great commanders, even one named Cobotron."

"He's lying!" Yelled ctrl "you're being mislead!"
Then a thump and a bump, Burn rolled his optics.
BDizz then entered followed by ctrl rubbing her head.

"Shaddup let me finish," Burn muttered before it got idiotic.
"They haven't been heard from in what seems like ages,
In fact one might think [idiotic is a tough word to rhyme!]

It's more fun triggering someone's reflective ability and watching as Swoop (fuck you SA/Hasbro, Strafe is a fucking Technobot) kills himself.

Nice generators. I'm sure Autobot players will completely ignore them and deploy into the middle.

I mean that's Autobot players ... I'd deploy to either corner and rush to any of the generators and work my way up the side, bypass a chunk of your defenses and steal whatever resources I needed most.

If I'm reading sarcasm right (internet, hard to tell) then yeah, those have been the big problem for me. I've had no clue where to put them that doesn't either expose them or take up space in a way that compromises my defences or exposes my base.

I don't have an image of my base right now, but mine has my harvesters up front as cannon fodder to hold up the opponent while the rest of the defenses start on them. Then, way in the back, I have my base in front of my caches and space bridge. Prevents the enemy from getting any resources unless they destroy my base, and it means they have to defeat every weapon

There's a difference between sarcasm and honesty. And now for some brutal honesty.

That's a terrible layout. I just exposed a massive flaw in your layout. By building so close to the corners you've allowed attackers a chance to by-pass your centre defenses AND you're giving them resources.

Resource storage should go to the back as far as possible. You need to bunch up but not to the point Jazz or Slipstream could make big booms and take out multiple defenses.

Is Offroad a re-use of the Ironhide model? I'm pretty sure that's what he looked like in the stream a few weeks back.

New Characters
Pipes and Offroad are making their way through the Space Bridge in this weekend’s event. Get a first look at the new bots and their special abilities!

Pipes (Warrior)Tough, brave and very strong; Pipes notable talent is to emit clouds of toxic, corrosive fumes from his exhaust pipes. Whilst it can melt through 2" inch thick steel plating, it's not something you really want to shout about! Still, he's a good 'bot to have on your team if you need a solid, sturdy and dependable warrior, just... don't get downwind of him.

Defensive Rush - Put a protective shield that blocks 80% damage for several seconds, then charge the target. Attracts defenses!

Offroad (Warrior)Being the new Stunticon on the block, and not yet trusted by his teammates, Offroad inevitably gets the assignments no one else wants, which actually suits him fine. It gives him plenty of opportunities to show off his extreme-conditions combat training and generally go where no Decepticon has gone (or wants to go) before.If anything, Offroad overcompensates, and ends up making his fellow Stunticons look a bit... pedestrian.

Shattering Charge - Rush into combat leaving trails of Glass Gas behind. Affected targets take more damage for several seconds

I'm so glad to get Offroad - my favourite Stunticon - but him being made from Universe Ironhide is just so wrong.
As well as Pipes having a face. I know his CW toy had one due to being a straight-up Huffer recolour, but... no.

Shattering Charge though? Hell yeah
