New Bots: Rook & Blot
Ready your team for the two newest recruits to join the Earth Wars - Rook & Blot!
There will be a challenge battle available later this week for you to take our newest Protectobot and Terrorcon for a test ride!


One of the most instinctive strategists in the Autobot Earth forces, Rook's analytical/tactical mind belies his tendency to sometimes break ranks and charge headlong into the oncoming enemy forces.
Not that Rook has much to fear from incoming fire. His durabyllium armor plating can withstand punishing blasts and hold up under crushing weight, and normally at the forefront of his mind is pulling some injured party from harm's way, a feat he accomplishes by switching to his equally armored vehicle mode and utilizing his powerful hydraulic claw. It's all in a day's work for this fearless and selfless Protectobot.


Blot is a mess. No two ways about it. Emotionally and physically.
His unfortunate habit of leaking bodily fluids (oil, hydraulic and Primus knows what else) exacerbates his already low self-esteem, and so he presents a generally apathetic instinct to hygiene generally.
It doesn't help that Blot is unintelligent and slovenly, and prone to suffer breakdowns from lack of fluid. But he is very strong, loyal and agile, his piercing claws enabling Blot to climb virtually any vertical structure, making him overall useful for the Terrorcons to have around. In robot mode he's armed with a slime gun that fires a stream of odious corrosive liquid.

Explosive Decoy
Place a decoy that has 65% of your Health and attracts defences. When destroyed, it explodes dealing damage in a large area. Only one decoy can be active at a time.

Bug Fixes / Updates

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

Raid Beam Laser may now retarget between each attack, making abilities such as Pipes’ Defensive Rush work on them.
The HQ equipped with the Point Defense Beam or the Omni-Flamer core could target Slash/Rippersnapper even in their stealth mode.
Slash and Rippersnapper critical hit in their ability mode was dealing less damage than announced in the ability description. We have increased the damage dealt in order to match the ability description.

• We have fixed an issue where Huffer/Lockdown dying was killing Blaster/Soundwave's minions.

Prime League: Special Event

It’s been almost 2 weeks since we introduced the new Alliance league: Prime League. And we hope you are enjoying fighting in the new league.
To make it more competitive and rewarding, we are running a special event starting this Friday!
One alliance who has achieved most wins in Prime League during the period below will receive special rewards!
Start Date: 05/07/19 10:00 UTC
End Date: 24/07/19 10:00 UTC
Rewards

Please note: You must stay in your alliance until prizes are awarded.
Also in order to increase the number of Alliances currently fighting in the Prime League, we will be temporarily disabling the opt-in promotion to the new league and will be automatically promoting alliances that have done 2 wins in the Cybertron League.
This change will go live on this Thursday with the content push and will last for at least a week.

Bug Fixes / Updates

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

Cybertron Starscream stun and damage buff
This fix is already live

• Bombshell and Perceptor confuse ability could stack with other confuse ability (forcing defences into unexpected behaviour). This will no longer be the case this Thursday.
• Silverbolt and Thundercracker special ability damage over time ticks at a faster cadence than before bringing the damage closer to the amount in the description text.
• After the end of their ability, Slash and Rippersnapper will no longer retarget outpost bots across the map.
• The grenade reach of Hook/Ratchet/Shockwave/Wheeljack now matches the range of their special abilities. This means the bots won’t need to move for the grenade to reach the outer rim of the range circle.
  These fixes/updates will go live with a content release this Thursday

There will be no stream this Thursday.

New Bots in Progress
At the end of the current saga, two new bots will join the Earth Wars! Let us share the creation process of Rhinox and Tarantulas with you.

Similarly to the Beast Wars characters appearing in Transformers: Earth Wars before him, Rhinox retains his animal form with accentuated robot details. In order to fit him in our lore and ease his transformation, we have decided (with Hasbro’s benediction) to turn it in grey and simplify the texture of its organic fake skin.

With only a few alterations, Tarantulas design in Transformers: Earth Wars remains really close from Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Tarantulas toy.

Under Investigation

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

• The fix for Slash/Rippersnapper chasing around outpost bots has introduced an issue with their ability. They will not keep hitting the targeted building after the first time and if there are buildings next to it they will switch to them.
  We are currently working on a fix

Bug Fixes / Updates

The following fix went live earlier this week

• Prime League victory not counted in leaderboard
  We have reverted them back to being optional, this will fix the results for upcoming Prime League Wars. Meanwhile, ALL Prime League victories are being tracked and will count towards the results of the Special Event (including the wins not reflected in the Leaderboard)

New Bots: Rhinox and Tarantulas
Rhinox & Tarantulas are joining the ranks this weekend!
Let us share their ability as we’ve tweaked them since last week to make them more balanced.



Life Stealing Charge:
Rush into combat imprisoning buildings on your path for 7 seconds. The vines deal damage per second, slows down defences by 70% and heals your nearby allies by a percentage of the defence’s damage value per second.




Life Stealing Charge:
Rush into combat imprisoning buildings on your path for 7 seconds. The web deals damage per second, slows down defences by 70% and heals your nearby allies by a percentage of the defence’s damage value per second.

Check out Skywarp Greer’s latest video to see Tarantulas in action!


As usual, their challenge battle will be available via in-game newsfeed prior to the weekend event.

Collections: Update


Two new teams have been added to the collections the Protectobots and Terrorcons.

The Protectobots are a team of emergency, rescue and law enforcement bots dedicated to the protection of humans and their homes.

The Terrorcons are savage beings, sometimes little more than feral creatures. True to their name, they tend to inspire terror in their enemies.

Check out the collections after the content release this Thursday!

Prime League: Update

With the launch of Prime League, one of the top feedback we had was for some kind of reward for participating alliances due to the league’s difficulty. So we have enabled the following rewards for the Alliance that loses the war.

• 10,000 Spark
• 250 Premium Shards
• 250,000 Energon
• 250,000 Alloy

This change will go live this Thursday with a content release.

The competition for most wins has finished on Wednesday 24/07/19 10:00 UTC and the result will be announced in the newsfeed and newsletter!

Bug Fixes / Updates

The following bug fixes/updates are coming to the game this Thursday with a content release.

Skylynx/Blitzwing regular damage were of the same type warrior’s and the HQ were resistant to it.
This should not be the case since Skylynx/Blitzwing is not a warrior and this has now been fixed. This means that their melee attack will also deal less damage to walls.

Sludge/Straxus ability icon would sometimes not being displayed correctly in battle.
This is now fixed.

Stasis mines will now activate straight away instead of a second after they are triggered. This is to stop a number of issues from happening when players activated a bot's ability after he triggered the mine.
Quintus Prime Core, the Sharkticon would sometimes push it into buildings and wall when summoned from the bot in a confined space.
In order to mitigate this issue, the Sharkticon are now summoned further away from the bot.

• Silverbolt/Thundercracker The damage over time effect from the special ability could be stacked multiple times on a single target.
  This is no longer the case.

New Power Core: Golden Lagoon
This week, we are introducing a new Power Core that can not only dish it out, but they can definitely take it!

Golden Lagoon is filled with Electrum from the legendary Golden Lagoon, adding a temporary gold coating to your bot that reflects incoming damage.
This will be our second time limited core after the introduction of our XP Cores. Golden Lagoon core lasts 24 hours once activated, however it can be switched between other bots during this time period. It only comes in the Gold version and it only has 1 level so it cannot be levelled up.

A challenge battle will be available prior to this weekend’s event to give you an opportunity to test out some bots coated in the legendary golden armament!

To check out the Golden Lagoon Core in action, check out last week’s stream around 00:50 and Skywarp Greer’s latest video!


Learn from Veterans

Have you ever watched a defensive replay and watched one of your highest level bots provide little to no help in defending your very meticulously crafted base?

Check out this video from player and Youtuber Engineer Hoist for advice on which bots will not pull their weight when it comes to defending one of your base outposts!

Bug Fixes / Updates


The following bug fixes/updates are coming to the game soon:

• Slash/Rippersnapper’s issue with chasing bots after exiting their ability.
  We have put some additional fixes that will be released in this week’s content update.

Bug Fixes / Updates



The following bug fixes are coming to the game.

Buildings on Prime League sometimes were getting healed for massive amounts
We have already pushed a fix concerning Smokescreen/Drag Strip snipe indicator. Please send a report in if you see any other cases of this issue happening.

Victorion and Menasor Reflect ability animation will be fixed in the next game update
Bruticus’ Frantic Rage animation will be fixed in the next game update
Currently, Defensor and Abominus bots do not animate in the Combiner Lab when they are not combined (they appear ‘frozen’). They will animate when not combined as expected in the next game update.
Defensor and Abominus transformation sounds in the combiner lab will be fixed in the next game update

• Ore-13 collection popup doesn’t trigger when you tap on the Ore-13 Harvester building directly and not the Ore-13 icon over it.
  We will push a fix for this in the next game update, for the moment still be careful when you collect the Ore-13 from the harvester.

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!

• Closing date will be 2019 September 8th at 5:00 PM UTC
• Please don’t vote more than once or your votes may be nullified.

Bug Fixes / Updates




The following bug fix is coming to the game.

By introducing changes to mitigate Ramjet freezing in specific situation, we have introduced a bug where Goldfire was considered ‘flying’ during his rush ability.
The fix for this will go live with a content push this Thursday

Twitch



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

And we just know the best fit to cover such role!

Join Ioannis, Deb, and Fabien who will be talking about game improvements, new features, upcoming bots and more!

* 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.
  We identified this issue since the latest update. It's a visual issue and it's not likely to affect the gameplay. In most cases, this issue should only happen in the very first battle after the update and they should be visible from 2nd battle. This may get fixed if you visit the combiner lab.

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.
  This is no longer the case.
  
  
• G1 Power Cores Graphic issue
  We fixed the background color for the following G1 cores: Hot Spot, Ironhide, Ratchet and Wheeljack’s G1 Core Icon.
  
  
• Nexus Prime Core Improvement
  We have increased the % of additional damage your Combiner deals, when you deploy the equipped bot before your Combiner.
  • When the bot equipped is in battle, Combiners on defense now receive additional damage.
  • The % of protection against raid damage remains the same.

There will be no stream this Thursday.

Bug Fixes / Improvements



The following bug fixes/improvements went live on 16/09/2019 with a content push.

• Upgrading issue for Gmetal cores
  Some Gmetal cores were unable to fuse at some level.
  Combiners on defense using the wrong ability from the assigned one
  To fix this issue, we temporarily changed all the combiner abilities of the Decepticon combiners so that they much the Autobot ones but this issue will not have a functionality change, it will only be a change in the ability’s name, icon and some vfx. If you are Decepticon players and have assigned a Combiner ability on defense already, you might have to reassign in some cases
  
• We reduced the distance that your attacking bots will chase a defensive combiner so that they will only chase the combiner when he comes near them.

Twitch




Two sides of the same coin, Punch & Counterpunch have joined the Earth Wars to act as Masters of Espionage and Sabotage.

Their allegiances may be unclear and their minds twisted, but their prowess in battle is unquestionable!
