Pretty cool. Marvel Comic original, right?

Where does his name come from?

You'd have to ask Bob Budiansky about the name.

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!

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.

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.

I'm actually very excited for Barricade

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

I'm still waiting for Straxus to become an available character. Why go to the trouble of creating a model and only use it for events?

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!

The Rust Renegades set out on a mission to find Slog. Fight to find out if they succeed and earn up to TRIPLE XP!



Out Of Control



Accustomed to Slog’s wanderings, the Autobots weren’t surprised when they heard Slog may be stuck somewhere in the Rust Desert. Clumsy Dinobot!

But the Rust Renegades aren’t so keen about Slog’s trespassing and launch their own mission to intervene.

Finding Slog won’t be an easy task… especially with Decepticon activity in the area!

New Characters
Get your first look at Dinobot Slog and ruthless Decepticon dictator Straxus!





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.

 





Of all the dictators in the Decepticon ranks (and there are a few!) Straxus is among the worst. 

A brutal powerhouse, his word is law, and Straxus will go to any lengths to enforce his policies. Unfortunately, the law according to Straxus can change on a whim, and if you do run afoul of him, don't bother appealing for mercy - he has none. And the sentence is always a short, sharp blow from his battle axe.

 



Seismic Charge - Target a wall with a resonating seismic charge. The explosion dealsdamage for each wall within the radius, and quadruple damage to walls.

It's just their way of offering up a solution to time-trap bases.

HQ15 bases though ... you're still going to need a 4*. So the strong get stronger.
