Totaliser PrizesNew Combiners are Coming!Given the tremendous burden that each faction’s lone Combiner must shoulder, it's evident that relying on only one Combiner is not a long term solution to the enemy threat! Both factions initiate plans to form additional Combiners, each built with 5 bots to help share the massive responsibility. Collect the necessary bots and activate your Combiner in the Combiner lab to unleash colossal power upon your opponent!

Character Spotlight
Let’s take a look at Optimus Maximus and Bruticus in action!

Combiners FAQ
Q) Which bots do I need for the new Combiners?
A) You need to collect the 5 bots below to form the new Combiners.
Optimus Maximus
Bruticus
Q) Do I need different spark for these combiners?
A) Yes. You can upgrade your Combiner’s health and damage using Optimus Maximus or Bruticus Spark obtained from duplicates of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Prowl and Mirage or Combaticons in the Space Bridge.
Q) Can I switch between different Combiners?
A) No, once a Combiner is activated in the Combiner Lab you will only be able to use that active Combiner in battle. Once the activation of the Combiner expires, you may activate another Combiner.
Q) What are the new Combiner abilities?
A) These powerful Combiners come equipped with three new powerful abilities to deliver devastating damage to your opponents.
Earth Shatter - Send a powerful shock wave dealing damage to targets in a line. Deals 600% damage to walls!
Righteous Rage and Frantic Rage - Grants increased movement speed, damage reduction and a close range splash-radius attack with increased damage.
Shockfire Missiles- Fire 4 missiles that lock onto enemy defenses, disabling them and dealing damage. (4-Star Only) 5-Star Crystal Shards
Starting Thursday you can collect 5-Star Crystal Shards from duplicate 4-Star Bots!
You will be able to use these Crystal Shards to purchase the 5-Star Character Crystal which unlocks a new guaranteed 5-Star Bot!
Please know that we're aware of a visual bug where you cannot see the total number of 5-Star Crystal Shards you've obtained. Any 5-Star Crystal Shards you collect over the next few weeks will become available early next month once the 5-Star Character Crystal is released. Twitch Stream

Maximus just doesn't look good. Argh, at least I'm a con in game. Bruticus may be the best looking and least screwed up of the combiners yet.

Now that we get a full body look of Maximus, he's... even stranger than I initially thought. The Optimus section obviously looks odd; but the rest of the components all combine their CW designs with their Classics/Universe toy designs, which leads to an... interesting take on Optimus Maximus.

The problem I have is that there's no balance in the alliances. All the top alliances in MAS can usually get all the prizes while all of the lower alliances in MAS can barely get the prizes.
But very good promotional poster.

The game just started giving me problems yesterday. It freezes every time I try to go into battle. I messaged tech support but no answer yet. It's a pity. I was really starting to get into it big time.

My rushers have started having issues. They will register that they have activated their rush and use the points, but they won't actually rush. Pain in the ass, has cost me a few wins

I am technically commander of Seibertron, yes, as my second account is the commander. But we dissolved the alliance. I'm with MAS.

You may not be trying to pick a fight, but you are being a bit... presumptive.
If you aren'the part of MAS you don'the know how it works.
MAS, DZ, EF, and MAS Destruction don't hoard the prizes (I assume you mean during leader board). MAS is the only one capable of top 5, and routinely bring up anyone capable of making the required points to get the leaderboard prizes.
During totalizers, once one of the top 80 alliances finish, we move others down to the feeders to help them finish. When someone goes to log off for the night, someone else takes there place all to make sure everyone finishes.
So everyone gets prizes, it's uninformed to say the top ones leave the feeders in the cold.

I need Vortex to get Bruticus, so of course I got...
I knew I wouldn't get Vortex !
Not complaining, mind you. I love my 3 star Brawl, and I ran the risk of getting a dupe Blast Off. Thankfully I already figured I wouldn't get Vortex.

Ya know, since I will be getting the crystal, I can call exactly what I will get right now: a 4* Brawl or Swindle. I have the 2 and 3* versions of both. I have 2* Vortex and Blastoff and no Onslaught, so I'll get one of those former 2, calling it now

Well, laugh it up. I knew I wouldn't get a Vortex... and just like Devy and the missing Mixmaster, I will eventually get him.
Meanwhile I got a solid 4 star gunner that I like (unless it was a dupe, there isn't a Combaticon I would be disappointed in) and am not stressing while chasing the all mighty Combiner. It will eventually happen. Besides, I need a lot of Bruticus spark.
