What! A Seibertron photo? Does Mr. Yzquierdo know about this? I don't know about you guys, but to me that's pretty big.

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.

New Characters



Last week we took a peek at the artistic side of Optimus Primal & Beast Wars Megatron. This time, we’ll be taking a deep dive into gameplay territory!

Gameplay Design
The introduction of Beast Wars characters into the game is a big milestone for us. And we’ve taken the importance of these bots as an opportunity to try some new gameplay mechanics.

Design Goals & Role
Optimus Primal and Megatron are feral forces of destruction that lead by example. We’ve classified them both as Special, and while their models and animations differ widely, they share in-game stats and make use of the same new Special Ability. They are sturdy and dangerous frontline brawlers, faster, more aggressive versions of their Generations equivalents.

Gameplay Stats
Gameplay stats of Optimus Primal and Megatron place them close to another ‘unstoppable force of nature’ - Grimlock. They have same movement speed of 3, slightly lower damage but more health.

Attacks & Weaponry
Our new Maximal & Predacon friends are adept at smashing or biting anything they come across. But as so often with Transformers characters, there’s more than meets the eye...

Both characters have access to a powerful long range attack (shoulder cannons for Primal, laser breath for Megatron). It has a 15 second cooldown and can be fired over enemy walls as far as 11 units from the target (almost as far as the range of the Beam Laser defense).

Anything that survives the laser blast is in for a surprise... Primal and Megatron are the first characters to use our new “move & attack” battle behaviour, and they use it well! The bots can use a gap-closing jump attack, which allows them to traverse above walls and deal damage in a large area. This attack is available every 10 seconds on targets that are between 10 and 8 units away. Primal and Megatron make for one explosive entrance!

Secret Tip: You can use Inspiring Charge on a distant target to force these new bots to jump at it. Just ensure the 10 second cooldown has passed and the target is far enough to jump at. Using Battle Orders can also help get the bot jumping between defenses.

Special Ability


Battle Orders - Target their defenses! Friendly bots are given a health shield and prioritize all defenses for 15 seconds.

Battle Orders is a leadership ability that helps your bots pick the most dangerous targets first, and have the health to do so! The shield amount increases with bot’s damage and ability level.

A variation of this ability was voted by the community as one of their favourites. We’ve redesigned it to make it a bit more unique and changed the buffing effect from “health restoration” to a more useful (and unique) bonus health. This way, even if your bots are fresh, they get the extra health and are harder to shoot down.



It’s time to bring these bots through the Space Bridge and take them into battle! Check back next week for details on how to unlock our new Beast Wars characters.



Balancing Changes



13-April-2017 - 1.39.2

• Equalized Tantrum's health and damage stats with Hot Spot.
• Healing Grenade (Ratchet/Hook) - Increased health restoration by 50%. Ability level scaling increased by 20% (from 4 to 5%).

Bots across a single class can differ in stats quite widely. Hot Spot and Tantrum have different stat partners (and were released at different times), but they ended up sharing the same Reflective Shield ability and in this case, have same use case that’s directly relatable. So based on community feedback, we've removed the health/damage difference between these two bots, opting for Hot Spot as the base.


As for Healing Grenade, we want the ability to be more meaningful and have impact on higher bot levels and on with high health bots. We hope you like the change!

It seems Transformers: Earth Wars - following their announcement of a mini-comic penned by none other than Simon Furman to go along with the new units Optimus Primal and Beast Wars Megatron - has sent three pages to three fansites, including Seibertron.com. The other two pages are part of an Easter Egg Hunt of sorts, but there is more...

...we're holding a little contest! Simply post your favourite moment of Megatron or Optimus Primal from Beast Wars in the forums below this news post before Friday April 21st to win the original artwork for Page 3! If you win (we'll select by random), we'll contact you through PMs and SpaceApe will send the artwork directly to you. So have a look at the pages, enter our contest and tell us what you think in the forums!

Favorite moment of Megatron? When he finally appears to win by breaking into the ark, powering up his gun, and shooting the original Optimus Prime's head off.

That was bold story telling and had me seriously wondering what the hell was going to happen next.

yes, 'bought them here' is exactly how you get thme there.

Yes...

My favorite scene involving Optimus Primal or Megatron from the Beast Wars cartoon would have had to have been when it was revealed that the entire reason the Beast Wars happened in the first place was because of a sinister plot set up by the original Megatron that the BW Megatron took accomplish. That realization of the story blew me away!

I'm not really into winning any art from this, so I'll just leave a comment about this comic itself:

I could see this relating to the Power of the Primes vote that elected Optimus Primal as the next Prime.

To pick just one moment from the perfection known as Beast Wars is near impossible.....there is just so many priceless moments to choose from.
Perhaps when Megatron emerges from the lava to revel his new dragon mode.....YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Oh enjoyable mini-comic BTW, that last line......awesome!!!

Font looks a lot like comic sans, which I'm pretty sure it is. Thankfully, not everyone's talking in pure gibberish, although Perceptor's usage of "bought" in place of "brought" peeves me a little since I remember him being a pretty smart guy.

The artwork could also use some work. Star Saber looks like he just ate a massive burrito, and Grimlock and Razor look like they're just casually playing a game of pirates.

No mention of where the other two pages can be found, unlike the other two who both mentioned this site and each other by name.

Odd. They were there before.

Allenspurs wrote:Scared of mentioning the competition or have you really convinced yourselfs its a "Easter egg hunt of sorts" real classy

Actually, we have no problem mentioning the other sites.

What REALLY happened is that we were contacted by SpaceApe who made the request. Their plan was for people to hunt across the various sites (Easter Egg Hunt style) to find the various pieces.

Once the request was made, things were edited accordingly.

Not exactly a great plan, nor was it clearly conveyed, but hey, they tried.

Well, that's just PRIME!

Our Beast Wars saga concludes this weekend with the arrival of two prehistoric bots...



Blast From the Past



Optimus Primal and Beast Wars Megatron have successfully made their journey through space... and time.

About time, they've dragged it out for long enough.

Whatever happened to Hun-Grrr and "whoever-the-hell-cares" they had slated for the Autobots?

I played the game for one whole mission before it crashed. I couldn't get to ever work again. And all I wanted was my favorite monkey bot

Assuming this is an alliance event based on the points on the prize board, even though it doesn't say anything about needing to be in an alliance to participate.

As you'll remember, SpaceApe Games sent us one of three pages from their Beast Wars mini-comic to accompany their latest releases for the Transformers: Earth Wars mobile game - now, we have been sent the other two pages again, from fellow fansites TFW2005 and AllSpark, to celebrate the end of the 'egg hunt'!

Transformers: Earth Wars Unleashes Prehistoric Power in New Beast Wars Saga Update As New Playable Bots Arrive to Game, Including Optimus Primal and Megatron T-Rex

Real-time combat strategy mobile game Transformers: Earth Wars rolled out its Beast Wars update earlier this month featuring a series of new characters and events, and today marks the official arrival of Optimus Primal and Megatron T-Rex as playable characters. The Beast Wars story centers around Grimlock, who decides to bring Transformers back from the future. Grimlock gets it wrong and brings characters from the past -- Beast Wars characters! Players who are HQ Level 4 and up can unlock this story through weekly events, and by leveling up their characters.

Transformers: Earth Wars is free and available to download today for iOS and Android mobile devices. The new Beast Wars update is accessible to players who have hit HQ Level 4 and above. For more information, visit TransformersEarthWars.com.



Dinobot Grimlock



A rampaging force of nature, Grimlock is the most feared and powerful of the Dinobots, as irascible and savage as the T-Rex his beast mode is modelled on. Combat is in Grimlock's spark, and periods in between battles are simply periods of great frustration and seething resentment. Any display of weakness is worthy only of contempt in Grimlock's optics, but he's not as dumb as he likes people to think, and his courage on the battlefield is the stuff of legend.


Dinobot Slug



Considering he's one of the good 'bots, Slug is as nasty and mean-spirited as they come, and resents everyone from Optimus Prime down. The actual process it takes to build up a fiery (3,000 degrees centigrade plus) blast and reduce an enemy to molten slag is hardly energy-efficient, but he doesn't care. It's firepower well spent in his book. As he often says, "I have no need for friends, even less for enemies."


Dinobot Slog



Despite his plodding, lumbering gait and bulldozer-like approach to anything in his way, Slog is a gentle and even shy 'bot at heart. But conscious of his bellicose fellow Dinobots, and wary of their scorn, he keeps his sensitive side hidden. Slog's seismic footfalls have been known to cause inadvertent landslides, which sometimes bury Slog and anyone nearby, making others dismiss him as clumsy and accident prone.


Dinobot Snarl



Surly and uncommunicative, a loner by nature, Snarl is about as far from a team player as you can get. But in a group comprised of misfits and malcontents, he somehow fits right in. And though he follows orders (grudgingly), what keeps him in line is the promise of mortal combat — and lashings of it. Only the thrill of battle can truly elevate Snarl's spirits and being a Dinobot provides everything his heart desires.


Dinobot Snarl



In army lingo, Snarl is a grunt. Not just because he's infantry, specializing in desert warfare, obediently if grudgingly following the orders of his commanding officer, but because he's a 'bot of few words and fewer opinions, and the most you can get out of him is the odd grunt. A loner by nature, uncommunicative and surly, Snarl only comes to life in the heat of battle, alongside his fellow Dinobots."


Beast Wars Megatron














Beast Wars Optimus Primal

Why is Swoop also Snarl? That'd be confusing.

"Snarl! Go!"
"Me Snarl?"
"Or me Snarl?"

And Swoop/SnarlII's bio leaves out his amiability, which I feel is the character's defining trait. In a group of brutish heavy hitters, he's the closest one to downright friendly.

Those... actually appear to be two legitimate Snarl Bios. Huh.

Additionally, the three Dinobot name changes brought about recently actually kind of make some sense:
Slug, as in slow, or a large shotgun round. Crude and powerful. (Admittedly, Slag works better here)
Slog, as in a powerful hit (What significance did Sludge have, anyways?)
Strafe is much more in line with the tone of the other names than Swoop was (Although Swoop is different from the other Dinobots, being friendly and not-a-dinosaur. Also, Strafe is a Technobot.)

I believe in the original comics, Swoop was given a backstory where his original name was Divebomb, a name later stolen by the Predacon, and he took up 'Swoop' as a replacement.

Whifflefire wrote:I believe in the original comics, Swoop was given a backstory where his original name was Divebomb, a name later stolen by the Predacon, and he took up 'Swoop' as a replacement.

Yep. Good story too. Really gave those two a bit of character and established a history between them.

Now if only we could get them both in toy form.

Modern Predacons and Dinobots (G1 style) that aren't 3P stuff would be awesome indeed.

I'm legit tired from this leaderboard event. I don't even wanna know how those top 5 teams feel right now..

Ended up being an awesome event for me:

-2* Megatron for the event
-3* Vortex from shards Friday night
-2* Cyclonus from 5 prize crystals
-4*(!!!) Nemesis Prime from 5 prize crystals

My favourite megatron moment was every single time he said
... Yeeeees

Has it been announced who won the Earth Wars comic page yet? I haven't heard anything.

Why look a new theme for the game!

Brought to us by fellow board member Shauyaun, we have news that the smartphone game Earth Wars is about to have a not-so-insignificant update! A beta with a new theme is being released alongside new bots Drift and what appears to be a G1 version of Barricade - likely in a tie-in with The Last Knight - as well as Optimus Prime in his G2 Laser/Titans Return body. How the latter part will play out isn't quite clear especially as the game has so far not given any new looks to pre-existing characters, but check out the images below - taken by player JGEORG5 - and keep your optics to Seibertron for any more news on these developments!

And some people thought TLK Barricade was generic.

Deadput wrote:And some people thought TLK Barricade was generic.

Funnily enough this does seem to share a lot in common with the TLK deluxe. Hood chest, most of the car top hanging off his back like kibble, doors on his arms, the rest of him becoming the legs, his head being a faceplated dealio rather than the actual mouth he had in 2007... no idea where the head design came from though. Looks like a motorcycle helmet crossed with a baseball cap.

Almost looks like this Crosshairs concept art.

Kurona wrote:doors on his arms,

The TLK Deluxe doesn't have the doors on his arms. They're connected to the car roof and fold inwards into the backpack.

Looks to be the previous Prowl/Streak/Smokescreen mold with a bobby helmet.

[Edit:] Has anyone noticed the orange Rook-looking guy that was on both combiner-themed loading screens?

I'm actually very excited for Barricade

I just realised these line-ups represent part of each faction's cast in TLK. Megatron has Barricade, a guy called Onslaught and a dragon; while Optimus has Drift, Grimlock and a guy called Hot Rod. Uh, Rodimus. Uh... it counts!

Though then you've also got two other guys in there I can barely make out. I think that's Bludgeon's tank barrel peeking out under Megs and Onslaught, and is that Bumblebee in the background between Rodimus' legs?

Oh yeah Finally we have some G2 in EW but how they're gonna make Laser OP work in EW will be interesting and OH MY GOD Drift and Barricade YASSSS thank you Spaceape but I still need my Straxus , Sludge and Kup when are they coming out
