Actually a perfect premise for the game's purposes of generating a unique episode, yet ironically based on the one other David Wise story that might actually be worse than The Rebirth. This really makes me appreciate the richness of the TF mythos, varied quality and all.

Not enough that I think they could wring a decent event out of Prime Target though.

(I love Dave's work, of course; I'm just surprised that this story got referenced in the game before much of his mythology-defining stuff)

Loosely based on the Athenia games in Five Faces of Darkness Part 1?

The funny part is, given the volume of AKOM errors tarnishing that epic, it's not too big a stretch to pretend these three characters were actually there, but misdrawn or omitted by mistake. Could the red guy who looks like Lightspeed extended into a Station Wagon be...SG Drift?!?

I uninstalled this today. My tablet only boasts 4gb and sadly, Google's mantra is "shut up, you want it even if you don't, you're having it" and as such, that 4gb rapidly disappears.

And with the release of CSR Classics on Android, well ... Legends can go bye bye in favour of a game where even if you spend money, you actually get something that benefits you more than a week before it's made redundant.

Goodbye TF Legends, I played you from the beginning, but your desire for my wallet just doesn't cut it.

HEH-HEH, HEH-HEH!

So wait, the previous event actually does count as FFOD Part 1, even though it was called "THE GALACTIC GAMES"?

Three somewhat random character choices for the ep; Runamuck didn't even debut until Chaos. Hope there's more, because 'Plasma-Bath Galvatron' and 'Galvatron Destroying Thrull' would be awesome rare cards.

You're mistaken, there was a Five Faces of Darkness Part I last week... It had the slightly more nonsensical combination of Sludge, Slug, Cliffjumper and Outback versus Tantrum and Thundercracker, following the kidnapping of Kup, Magnus and Spike by a "Skuxxoid."

Ah, thanks! Despite my interest in WTF they're thinking with the premise, I don't have a device or spare cash to play these, so I never really look into it beyond this thread.

Not necessarily. This game uses designs no matter how old. It's used the ROTF Bludgeon toy from 2009 for G1 Bludgeon, and the Timelines Shattered Glass Alpha Trion toy from 2007 as G1 Alpha Trion.
