Transformers: Legends Heavy Metal War, Part 1 Begins Today

Y'know, the last time I posted, I was going to make a little smart ass comment about "well, Countdown to Extinction may be a coincedence, but if one of the next events is called Heavy Metal War, then my eyebrows are going up." I figured the odds of that happening being so remote that it wasn't even worth the mention.

I am officially extremely amused by the coincidences.

I might skip this one. I spent a few bucks to try and get some good cards in the episode space bridge in Day of the Dinobots and got shite! Nothin but 3's. Not to mention money spent on battle cubes in hopes of bolstering my Dino team. Spent around 20 bucks in total. Not worth it.
Taking a break from this game. Till the next episode at least.

Just jumped in the pool guys, waters looking good so far.
Lets see how soon this turns into a feeding a frenzy!

Like a putz I went and spent more money on cards in the episode space bridge and got nothin but threes. I give up.

So ... we can go ahead and smack you in the head now?

Anybody know how to delete your account?

I decided to quit this game after it bored me too much to let it continue to slow down my phone and eat up my battery the way it does.

I tried doing it through the game itself, but that just sent me round and round in circles while getting slower and slower.

I spent a dollar and got a 3X Long Haul card. Then I stupidly spent another $3 and got two 3s. It really pissed me off and now I'm barely playing it. My rank is around 14000. I consistently finished between 1,500 and 7,000 previously.

It feels like the rewards are getting diluted and the cost to compete is going up. The raid cards this time around are just the 3x Long Haul cards. The biggest issue i have with that is you need to get 2,000,000 points to get the robot mode of the Long Haul. A lot of good the card does you at that point. I might be out after this. Too much money and it gets less fun as they make it more difficult.

That's normal for these kinds of games, they are free, they make it easy to get cool stuff and level up in the beginning. But the longer you play the harder it is to maintain your "success" and thus forcing you to spend more and more money on it to keep playing.

Same goes for all the Facebook games, and those are all dieing now.

You kept typing long haul but you mean 3x bonecrusher correct? Long Haul is the 10x card this event.

Game seems to have suffered from the developers recent decisions. Had a ton of cubes to burn, and was casually considering shooting for Wheeljack. Did not seem like there were as many high value bosses to put in on and after hovering around 5k with 10 hours left I got bored and quit looking. Fully expected to fall out of the Brawn bracket, but still finish in that range. Figured I would get pushed out like last episode where the same thing happened but didn't.

Also it hurt them to not offer the 30$ guaranteed Hook card off the bat. Unlikely I would have bit on it like I did with Sideswipe, but when it popped up on day 3 I just laughed. These guys are getting way, way to greedy.

I gave up. Ended up with 50 gold coins for all my troubles.

Honestly, that Ironhide boss was ridiculous. 500 people were needed to take it down, it made absolutely no difference to the leaderboard for us lower pleebs, and because Ironhide was around, no one gave a rats arse about helping out with any other bosses.

It's become a joke.

I've completely checked out on this game. I didn't play the Dinobot episode at all. I totally forgot about what day it ended. So I missed all of that episode and the start of this episode. I checked in on Saturday (or was it Sunday?) to see a new episode already started. I figured I'd play a little to build up my cubes for a run at another episode down the road. I managed a little but couldn't see to muster the dedication required to take it seriously. I finished in the 50,000s and got some sweet silver medals for my efforts.

Since I haven't actually finished an episode since R5s became a thing, I've got a few questions. Is it any harder getting top 1500 with those bosses out there and the existence of 10X bonuses? Is the game completely impossible now without spending money or is achieving the second best prize still a possibility without throwing away cash? How many scanned 10Xs are out there during the episodes?

Looks like a Galvatron episode starts later. Wonder if we'll see a Rodimus or Magnus card to go with it.

Our friends at DeNA dropped by to let us know about the latest event for their Transformers: Legends mobile device game, "All Hail Galvatron". The event starts today and runs through the 28th. Details and character art can be found below.

DeNA and HASBRO are continuing their special in-game events for the action card battle mobile game TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS. Beginning today, Friday, June 21st at 5 pm PT through June 28th at 5 pm PT, players can participate in the All Hail Galvatron in-game event and witness the debut of fan favorite character Rodimus, in an effort to stop a monstrous Galvatron.

About the All Hail Galvatron Event

Megatron has been reborn as a stronger, more ruthless and completely unhinged Galvatron! With total control over the Decepticons, Galvatron is leading an assault on the Autobots. However, Rodimus along with Ultra Magnus and Sergeant Kup have vowed to stop Galvatron at all costs. Who will be victorious in this intense face-off?

Yes.

The worst thing they did was introduce an Ironhide that had 500 million hit points and required on average 500 people to take down (you could invite allies even if you didn't spawn the boss) and everyone got 20,000 points for it which made moving on the leaderboard pointless because everyone was getting a share.

And now they've thrown out a Ultra Magnus card. *sigh* Bastards.

They really screwed this up. Unless you pay, you can't win. Real great game guys

That's kinda the point behind it, you get it for free, play it, have fun, get invested in it that you want to spend money on it.
I mean what did you expect they gotta earn money someway.

There's making money ... but then there's also being blatant rip-offs.

Given how much you have to invest to get those cards, you could use that money on a console game which can be played on a bigger screen, with other people, and generally give you a much better gaming experience.

If they lowered their costs they'd get more people investing and playing.

And all of that is irrelevant as most people are reluctant to invest these days due to the alleged hacking and cheating that they continue to do nothing about.

I wouldn't mind dropping the coin on this game, if there actual physical cards involved. Hell I do that already with yugioh. Because at least that way I'd have something physical to show for it, not just a bunch of 0s and 1s. its the same reason I don't buy DLC for video games.

That being said, the artwork for this game is gorgeous, I'd love to see it make the jump to a physical game. and would Play/Collect the Hell out of it

that rodimus head art sucks

I hate to be that guy but....you know what, nevermind.

I think I'm going to call it a career on this game now. At this point, I don't know how any normal person isn't insulted by the blatant money grab this game has become. $30 for a Magnus card!? Maybe I'm living in my own little world but $30 for a tiny piece of DLC seems extremely overpriced. How does $30 not buy the Rodimus card? I mean, Jesus, $30 should buy you so much more in a stupid cell phone game than I card that will only be good for 6 days. Ok, I'll be generous and say 14 days but thats it. The cards have a life cycle of about 2 episodes. By the 3rd episode, they are completely out-classed, wasting any money and effort that it took to get them.

Secondly, how can players not be insulted by the so soon re-use of the Cyclonus and Scourge characters? Last time you had to pay for them (I didn't get them), this time you can earn cards just as good (better?) for free. Thusly, any money spent to obtain those cards a couple events back just got pissed on.

And thirdly, how can you not be insulted by the fact that despite how much money this game seemingly makes off of the lemmings who continue to dump money into it, the game still lags like crazy and still randomly force closes itself from time to time. Sometimes I have to open the app 3 times before it actually stays open and plays. Where the hell is the money going?

I may play out this event just so I can burn through the resources that I spent the effort saving. After that, I think this Mobage scrap will be coming off of my phone. It was nice playing with you guys. Too bad it didn't end better.

I'm likely on the same path. This game's interest level is winding down for me.

Now if somebody snatches up all that art and finds some way to make a tangible product out of it, be it cards or a book or something, I'll buy them/it in a heartbeat.

I'm using the "Decepticons, feast your eyes on your new leader!" Starscream poster as a wallpaper on my laptop. If they made these into wallpapers, I'd download every one of them and alternate between them weekly!

For real

When I first started to play this game on the last couple days I would get request to help battle the higher cards now I only get request to battle low end cards. I've battled Galvatron 3 times so far and I was under the 1k mark on the ranking system. Now I'm in the 2k and all I battle is cyclonus. I've beaten I don't know how many cyclonus and I can't get above over a level 5 cyclonus it's bullshit. Also I didn't pay to get my ultra Magnus but I did pay $10 and got rodimus alt mode with 10x.

They keep changing up the conditions on how the boss cards generate. Mostly it's based on your rank, the higher your rank, the higher the bosses, the lower your rank, the lower the bosses.

I was in the top 1000 but lack of time and the time zone, oh and their stupid ally request system saw me drop into the 3000's this morning. I haven't bothered to play since.

DeNA and HASBRO are continuing their special in-game events for the popular action card battle free-to-play mobile game TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS. Beginning today, Friday, June 28th at 5 pm PT through July 5th at 5 pm PT, TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS players can take part in The Bee Team in-game event.

New character art for the The Bee Team in-game event has been mirrored and can be seen below:

Chop Shop appears he can't catch a break.

But as usual, I'll probably be in the top 30k. My interest is starting to wither.

I agree with you there. When you can't get a significant card, or significant rewards without spending money, well, I get better things to spend, or not spend my money on.

The card art is as always spectacular.

Printed cards would be awesome.

Triple changers with two alt mode cards to trans scan also should be appearing as should combined combiners.

This is so true, and I personaly hate it.

I agree...give me some rewards for the amount of time played as well as paid junk (I refuse to pay to play xD)

I finished the rodimus episode at 494 if I would have started and hour earlier on the last day I could have broke 150

Combiners would be EPIC.

But your idea of printed cards is more solid. I miss the days of good art in card form. Back before everything became CG and card games. I would buy a set of good TF cards by the team behind this game!

But I'm pretty done with this TF mobile game, so I'm not going to see much of the new stuff. Like everyone said, the rewards are few unless you pay.

This game feels like gambling to me. I understand funding the developers and paying for their work... but at this point, I feel a $60 game would be the better bargain. This game simply requires too much money to be invested to get anywhere at all.

The few level 4 cards I got are pretty worthless without the corresponding alt mode or robot mode. And the level 3 cards they give away like cheap candy are pretty weak.

The only time I spend money is if I want an episode card and its the first 100 point one I try but $30 for ultra Magnus is nuts. I pull LV3 cards like nothing and they are pretty worthless these days if ur team isn't made up of all LV4 cards and at least one LV5 card it's pretty week. Since I started to play I pulled about 10 lv 4 cards from my gold medals. I've cashed in about 10k gold medals if not more. Once ur team is strong enuf to defeat the first 2 cards in an episode it's easy to stack up on cubes and battle cubes. If u don't like an episode play till u have to use more than 1 cube a battle than wait till the next episode. I can usually stack over 100 battle cubes b4 I have to use more than one to beat a card. U really only have to spend money if ur team is weak or u want an episode card.

Too much grinding if u dont pay to win. It takes HOURS of repetitive battles if u have lvl3 cards like me. Even more hours to get free lvl4 cards randomly. I find doing almost anything else much more rewarding.

I got most of my lv 4 cards for episodes and when I cash in my gold medals I get lv3 cards like its my job lol. I've already collected all lv 1 2 and 3 cards but lv 4 cards are hard to get but I did just pull a lv 4 jet fire but he's not that good of a card.

Well, I forgot to play the Galvatron event last week. I didn't want to retire with over 500 battle cubes and energon refills just sitting. I earned those afterall, so I might as well use them.

I've been going after it pretty hard, spending cubes like they are going out of style. This is the earliest I've ever gotten into the top 1000 in all of the episodes that I've participated in.

My cube total peaked at 580. So I've been throwing 1 and 2 cubes around like nobody's business, trying to get MVP on every boss I encounter. I feel a bit like Oprah: "You get a cube and you get a cube and you get a cube! Everyone gets a cube!"

We'll see what happens when the big Bee starts showing up. It would be nice to go out in a blaze of glory and beat my top finish, which was somewhere in top 400, I think. Good luck to all of you who are all in.

I'm all in for this ep and then I'm going all out. It was fun for a bit. Gimme printed cards, Mobage!

Ah well, on to the next timesuck.

I hate how you can never get the back half of an event card after the event. I got the Bonecrusher robot mode during Heavy Metal War, but can now never complete the pair. They should make it possible to pick up the other halves from medal cash ins during a different event. Even if it's like months down the line, just knowing I could eventually finish off these sets would make me happy.
And I mean for the point rewards cards, not ones that people are paying for. Or maybe if there was a way to give me a chance to get rank rewards cards I'm missing via random draw. Like I've got robot Cosmos, but not space ship Cosmos. I'm not asking for a randomly drawn event Omega Supreme, just the other half to this one that I did "earn" in the event.

That being said, all I wanted in the Galvatron event was Gnaw, and I got him, and this time out all I want is bug mode for Barrage.

I just got back from a long vacation with no cell signal. I see I missed out on the galvatron rodimus event so that sucks. Also, it appears they have been fixing and patching a bunch of items to make the game better, except they keep avoiding that one big fix to lower all the prices or make the cards available through trading and the space bridge.

I'm only logging in to build cubes every now and then in hopes for a better game future. Until they add trading or somehow make a way to complete the cyberdex that isn't horribly expensive, I'm done playing.

Hope everyone else has fun, I'll check the forum every now and then.

Im done. They finally broke it for me. I had a total of 11 help requests during the final hour of the event, 4 of which worth 2500 xp or less. I was at 1100 all day long waiting for the rush to begin, and I got dicked on the help requests which makes no damn sense at all considering the allies I have. Cant spawn any of my own high point bosses, cant get any high point boss help requests, fuck you mobage im out.

I've finally quit this game as well. spending $30-40 a week just to be competitive in the events is beyond ridiculous! i'm taking the money i'm saving by not playing this game anymore and using it on my real transformers collection (just picked up 4 of the igear mini warriors). i still check in on the game once a week to see the new card art, but that's it.

I haven't necessarily quit, but my fustration-induced hiatus is caused by my iPod. I've redownloaded the damn thing a couple times now to help get rid of the crashing, but it's even worse than before. I can't even access the Space Bridge without my iPod crashing and sending me back to its main menu.

Our friends at DeNA dropped by to let us know about the latest event in their Transformers: Legends mobile device game, "Nemesis Prime". See details and exclusive art below.

The next big in-game event from DeNA and HASBRO’s TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS mobile game is about to commence! Beginning today, Monday, July 8th at 5 pm PT through July 15th at 5 pm PT, players can jump into the “Nemesis Prime” in-game event to defeat the sadistic creation of Dr. Arkeville.

About the Nemesis Prime Event
Dr. Arkeville has secretly been creating a new Transformer, one that could rival Optimus Prime in every way. Out of spare parts and stolen technology, he has assembled the formidable Nemesis Prime. But Nemesis Prime is on the loose, and not even the mad Doctor can control the unstoppable fury of his own creation! Join the heroic Aerialbots, led by Silverbolt as they meet the threat head on. Will they be fast enough to intercept and stop the threat? Find out on this week's TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS episode Nemesis Rising!

Hello, new iPod wallpaper!

The game may be financially crippling (and downright annoying when it comes to crashing 99.9999% of the time), but the artwork is, as always, phenomenal!

[quote="Mindmaster"]Hello, new iPod wallpaper!

this is the only reason I log in to the stupid thing any more.....

So in this continuity, Dr. Arkeville survives Countdown to Extinction, then upgrades himself into Colonel T.R. Edwards?



This could be the just the stepping stone I need to have my Robotech-continued-in-Convertors fanfiction make sense!

Very cool graphic and I like the one sided helmet. He's not a 100% copy of Prime. I don't know though, I never liked the concept of Scourge/Nemesis Prime. I know it's to boost repaints, just as Magnus. But Magnus had the armor. With Nemesis I feel it's just another Dark Samus, or Dark Sonic, with no real purpose other than to be a threat.Nemesis I don't fully get why he's popular.

Quick question,Tf Legends is based on which continuity? Aligned?

Alternators/Binaltechcontinuity apparently.http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_Prime_(G1)
I'm just excited to see Dr. Arkleville back.
