If you don't have any, or have very few Level 4 and 5 Cards, play missions and cash in metals until you can construct an All Grimlock and All Starscream deck. These are the two strongest Level 3 cards.

Make sure to sell any leftover cards, or use them as upgrade material.

Upgrade your robot and alt cards (or evolve cards) completely before transcanning or evolving to get the max effect.

Don't play to win, play to get materials. With about 10,000 deck power decks, it'll take about 150 battle cubes to break into one of the reward cards. Instead of trying to win each battle, play until you start losing battle cubes, then wait until next week's mission. Playing this way I can typically earn 50-80 battle cubes per episode if I don't play to win.

The same is true for energon chains. You can typically get two free chains per mission and need four to guarantee enough evolve cards for a decent card.

The new ruby medal system can get you access to episode cards to beef up your decks.

If by luck you win an episode card from gold episode medals, you may want to consider trying to place. The same is true if you can earn the 2,000,000 points needed to get a lower-tiered card.

After scanning for bosses starts to generate tougher battles, stop scanning and leave your device on the episode screen. As other players need help, bosses will appear on screen for you to fight. Let those other chumps burn through their battle cubes.

Never, ever EVER use more than one battle cube per fight, unless it's a boss in a campaign episode.

Try playing this way and you won't have to spend a dime and might actually enjoy the game.

Accumulate 500 or so cubes.
Give up your life for a week.
Stare at your iPad for hours a day burning through those 500 cubes.

DeNA is continuing its month long September to Remember campaign for its entertaining mobile card battle game TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS that showcases a series of weekly episodes and new content added to the game. Today features the release of the in-game episode called S.O.S. Dinobots! This exciting episode runs through Tuesday, September 17, 2013.

The S.O.S. Dinobots! Storyline

This week on TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS witness the primal power of the Dinobots versus the agile aerial Seekers.

In the aftermath of the clash between Megatron and Optimus Prime, the Autobots stand with their backs against the wall. With the power vacuum left behind by the clash between Megatron and Optimus Prime and with their hands full trying to protect the innocent humans, the Autobots are struggling to save themselves from disaster.

Without Optimus Prime's leadership and strength in the battle's ensuing chaos, Grimlock believes it's time for him to step up. As he charges into the battle, the Decepticons feel a chill of fear when they hear echoing over the battlefield: "Me Grimlock king!"

The Dinobots’ limited intelligence but incredible strength make for an uncomfortable combination. Optimus Prime considered shutting down the unpredictable Dinobots in the past before they could do harm to themselves or anyone else, but a sudden and devastating Decepticon attack forced him to reconsider. In the following battle the Dinobots prove that they are of immense value for the Autobots. Now the Autobots must call upon the might of the Dinobots once more as only they can change the tide of their desperate battle.

The Decepticons fear the Dinobots for good reasons. Even the powerful Devastator could not stand against the ferocity and sheer stubbornness of the Dinobots.

Will the unpredictable Dinobots save the Autobots? Can the Dinobot's tenacity bring down the Decepticons?

Find out in this week's episode S.O.S. Dinobots!

As a T1 player right now (6th place) I can tell you that it will be about $150-200 in chains and energon for T1 IF the pace stays the same. (Projected at around 35-40 mil). I personally have 25 chains left and that will get me to around 40 mil which might just barely be enough. Even if I dont hold on, the 3 Grimlock were worth it, sadly no weapons for him.

joesaysso wrote:So I have been playing a little bit of this episode since I saw that it was one of the new leveled formatted episodes. I hadn't had any experience with this format so I figured I'd give it some effort. Let me see if I have this straight:

You use energon nets to trap cards, which gives you the cards and increased rewards. The energon nets are almost entirely useless as they rarely ever work. The game gets harder as you progress, requiring a higher deck power to advance without a bigger investment in battle cubes.

The game advances beyond your deck power well before the cards you trap actually become worth trapping in the first place. Your nets start to dry up because the rewards stop including nets, which is ok because the nets are still utterly useless, but its bad because you don't get extra points, but its good because the cards that you are trapping at this point are still utter garbage.

There is only one single card worth trapping on any battlefield and that would be the evolution boss at the end. You have almost no chance of trapping this card unless you use a power chain, which you get almost none of. And if you do happen to trap this card, you actually need 7 more of the card you have almost no chance of getting to have it officially MTMd or MEMd, as it were.

Is that all about right? I guess the questions are: Besides the evo cards at the end, do the cards ever become worth trapping? How are people getting so many points and not running out of nets if the nets are so freaking useless and rarely ever work?

I get that my deck power isn't big enough to progress too far into the hard tier. But I don't understand how people just aren't flat out running out of resources while still accumulating a massive amount of points. I feel like I'm missing something.

This is why this game will not change. This person has spent upwards of $200, isn't quite sure if he will even finish in the top 100, and STILL thinks it was worth it for some electronic cards that don't guarantee him anything.

If anybody is on the fence about spending a couple dollars on this game, don't bother unless you are will to spend a couple hundred. It might not even make much of a difference then.

If you were hoping that this game would eventually stop being a money pit at some point, you can stop. With people gleefully throwing their money at Mobage like this joker, Mobage has little incentive to change the way they do business.

DeNA continues its busy September for its TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS mobile card battle game with its first ever Player vs. Player (PvP) episode called The Omega Corps.

I have uninstalled this game from my phone. I am completely done with it.

I've kept my word and still not spent any more money, been saving all my resources since June, had almost 1500 energon, 1200 cubes, 8 nets, still didn't place in the top 100, not even close and I've burned through most of my resources. Payers are the winners still.

CALL OF THE PRIMITIVES - starts today!

In this week’s Campaign Episode, it’s the primal rage of the Predacons against some of the bravest and smartest of the Autobots!

In the aftermath of an unusual battle against a common foe, old rivalries heat up once more. After fighting side by side against their common enemy, the Decepticons and Autobots turn on each other once more.

Their temporary alliance had been an awkward and fragile one and now, with the destruction of their common foe, the feral instincts of the Predacons have flared up and they attacked those whom they believed to be the weakest of the Autobots. But appearances are deceiving and their Autobot prey proved to be more resilient and strong-spirited then expected!

Will the feral Predacons overrun the Autobots? Can the brave Autobots match strength with the fierce Decepticons? Find out in this week’s Episode: “Call of the Primitives!”

Can you give some quotes that say otherwise? Your rant completely baffles me as you seem to be attacking people that just aren't posting in this thread.

Or maybe I read it wrongly ... I don't know.
