Holiday Message and Gift from Transformers: Earth Wars

Cute gesture, but I'll pass. The fun of that game was lost long ago to the greed of loot boxes. I'll spend my money on physical transformers that wont disappear when the license is dropped and servers shut down.

Whoa, news about earth wars! I thought kuuga, CF, and I were the only ones still playing.

And even then I don't play as much right now because I've been sucked back into games with plots.

Nice to know I'm irrelevant.

I thought you liked to go under the radar?

Burn wrote:Nice to know I'm irrelevant.

You didn't even say hi the last time we hit stonecutters.

Well I got a fancy new phone upgrade for free from o2 cos my previous phone had problems AFTER i'd resigned contact and had chosen all the credits rather than the phone upgrade. So yay! But anyways it means i can try out stuffs what didn't run on my old phone. Downloaded Forged to Fight and quite like that despite it's simple gameplay cos it's action and has some movieverse characters for me. Not sure about this one cos doesn't seem like my kind of game but hey I'll try it out now for the christmas bonus and see how it goes.

By the way

Space Ape has informed us that new combiners will now be part of Transformers: Earth Wars. Autobot Combiner VICTORION and Decepticon Combiner MENASOR will be joining the game very soon in the next couple of weeks.

Several Transformers related websites have different info regarding these updates and the exclusive we have been given is Victorion's ultimate move.

Skill description:

• Noble Sacrifice: Deal heavy damage and disable enemies over a large area while losing 20% of your max Health. If this ability kills you, disable the enemy base for 10 seconds.
• Cooldown: 30 seconds
• Damage (Level 1): 880 in an area

You can see this move in the video below








You can learn about Menasor's ultimate move by visiting TFW2005 and you can find the game by going here. Here are the other sites who participated in sharing elements of this update, let us know what you learn from there in the comments!

Looks like Lugnut above Megatron there and Elita-1 in front of Prime, sporting her PotP look. Don't know if they're already in the game or not, haven't been able to play it since phone doesn't have enough space.

Bro.

Defensor.

Come on.

Both debuted this weekend. Only the 2* versions are available at the moment, 3* and 4* versions in the morning after the event.

People have been waiting for that Menasor for a long time... Now just bring on Abominus and I'll be satisfied with combiners in the game

Are they going to be 5 or 6 ‘bot combiners?

So far, 5 bot combiners have been coming out. The only 6 bot combiner is Devastator ( Are there any other 6 bot combiner teams, toys or fiction wise, targetmasters don't count)

It'd be a bit odd for at least Victorion not to be six bot, considering Rust Dust is both in-game, and really clearly slapped on her chest like the toy. Plus the Autobots don't have a six-team yet, right? So it'd just even out the combiners.

Other than Devastator these appear in fiction and have G1 toy reresentation:
Raiden - Trainbots
Landcross - Multiforce
Liokaiser - Breastforce
Dinoking/Monstructor - Dinoforce/Monster Pretenders

Superion is a six bot combiner for game purposes, Powerglide forms his gun. So far all combiners have been roughly equal to each other in composition and abilities, but evidently Menasor is going to be five parts while Victorion is six. Apparently the reasoning is that the Rust Renegades have all been in the game since launch while Motormaster is a fairly new character who will have been harder to get at 3 or 4 stars.

I guess that makes sense. I was kinda hoping for Offroad to be put in somehow.

I was betting on one of Offroad, Brake-Beck, or Dead End taking the chest car slot somehow. Apparently not. Therefore I'm not sure why they even added him, since the game was released after Combiner Wars was mostly over.

Well I for one am not nearly as active as I used to be, but yes, lots of people still play it.

It's been a while since we had some proper news from the Space Ape / Backflip mobile strategy game Transformers: Earth Wars, but just this past weekend was its second anniversary of going live and still going strong! Are you still playing the game? If so, you might recognise some of the highlights that were put together for this clip embedded below, found on the game's official Facebook page.

Take a look below, and let us know what you think or thought of the game if you played, are playing, or are thinking of playing Earth Wars!

Still playing! And, to be honest, Furman’s writing for it has gotten so much better since the beginning. There are even good jokes and references to other media!

I quit a few months ago. Alliance expectations were becoming too stressful, not to mention the douchebaggery of some members who simply could not comprehend that because they can sit around on their arses with their trust funds and have nothing to do, doesn't mean everyone else is in the same position and being a long standing member meant nothing.

There were some good alliances out there, and I fully understood the expectations, but trying to squeeze as much playing time in during weekend events just became untenable.

Freedom from it has been wonderful.

By means of an update from the Space Ape/Backflip Transformers: Earth Wars mobile game, we have a new clip showing their next campaign - which is going back to the 80s and the originally styled Transformers character designs thanks to a new Power Core! The G1esque bots included feature the likes of Soundwave, Arcee, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Skywarp, Ultra Magnus and more - check them all out below, and let us know if you're still playing the game and what you think of this limited feature!

Relive the 80s with these classic bots in Transformers: Earth Wars, starting this Friday!

I mean, wasn't everything in this game already G1-esque? Like, since it was based off the toy designs of a G1-based toyline, and all, it's kind of redundant to have this event in the first place.

Also, Burn is super right. It had become a chore to spend all my time on this thing, especially on my already busy weekends. Worse yet? Some people have a very large, expendable income so even if I used all my power cells perfectly and worked the cooldowns perfectly, I wouldn't even make a dent in some of the higher performers. It kind of felt like ramming my forehead into a wall for seventy two hours and getting nothing but useless two star novelties for it.

I stopped playing some months ago cos out of the two transformers mobile games on my phone i only really wanted to have one of them and Forged to Fight has the movie bots I so much prefer over G1(esque) so making it even more G1 isn't gonna pull me back to it. Plus i far prefer a much closer view of robots smashing up each other so FtF is more my thing in other ways.

Exactly this. And Alliances were getting more and more competitive so you either spent big (and then only ended up with a 3*) or go away. Loyalty meant nothing to those with Trust Funds.

Good old Earth Wars. I got an email from them on the two year anniversary about free things, apparently I had removed the game from my device. I re-downloaded, and it was my temporary profile I set up after re-loading the game when the beta ended. Contacted customer support, they didn't get back to me until after the free stuff expired. So I have the correct profile again, just missed out on the goodies.

I forgot how much funds people threw in to this game. I couldn't keep up at all with Seibertron's team that I was on with Cobotron and carytheone. They left before I did, but ultimately I just said "So long, and thanks for all the fish."

It was fun at the beginning building a base and stuff, but unlike Sim City or The Simpsons: Tapped Out you can't just go on forever without throwing in a bunch of money.

The new event started. Turns out this G1 chip is basically a toonshader. It does not change the character modelwhen applied. It only gives it a toonshader. But enough about that.

I logged back in and there is G1 bgm playing instead of the Earth Wars bgm. Having a nostalgia trip atm.

I feel less annoyed now about the two chips I got being bots I don't have. Sigh.

I may be doing something wrong as you're the second person I've seen mention the different music - mine still has the same music as when I started playing three weeks ago!

Straight from Transformers: Earth War developer Space Ape games, we've got news of the newest event to hit the game.

Power of the Prime Cores!

New Transformers Characters SENTIUS MAGNUS and SENTIUS MALUS Roll Out in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS September 14

Learn More During Livestream with Transformers Writer Simon Furman on September 6, 2018

On September 14th, Hasbro Inc. will add two new characters to the Transformers universe; say hello to the SENTIUS TWINS, SENTIUS MAGNUS and SENTIUS MALUS. Both characters will make their debut in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, the award-winning combat strategy mobile game available for free from Space Ape Games and Backflip Studios on the App Store and Google Play.

In the early days of Cybertron, the home world of the Transformers bots, SENTIUS NOBILIUS served as an honorable guardian of the relics of the PRIMES, the gods of the Transformers universe. To do this task he was given a sword of legendary power, the SWORD OF BALANCE, a blade with the power of creation and destruction. He was betrayed by one of the PRIMES, who, using his own sword against him, split his spark in two. This destroyed SENTIUS NOBILIUS, but created two new sibling warriors: SENTIUS MAGNUS, the guardian of light, and SENTIUS MALUS, the guardian of darkness. Each of these bots now carries one half of the sword, which was split. SENTIUS MAGNUS now fights for the Autobots, and SENTIUS MALUS for the Decepticons. Fans can get a sneak-peek at both characters by checking out today’s announcement trailer.



Transformers writer Simon Furman will be doing a livestream with Space Ape Games developers on Thursday, September 6 at 4:00 p.m. UTC, diving into the story behind the SENTIUS TWINS and providing a look at the characters and game update. Fans can tune in to the livestream by visiting: twitch.tv/transformersearthwars.

TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS is a real-time combat strategy game that surpassed 10 million downloads within its first year. The game pairs authentic Transformers storytelling with fast-paced gameplay, beautiful 3D animation and hundreds of iconic characters with diverse strengths and abilities. Download TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and on Google Play for Android devices. For more information, visit www.TransformersEarthWars.com.

WHEW! Not the Bayniverse Twins.

Instead, it's...Roulette and Shadow Striker as male samurai who symbolize yin and yang. Sort of.

Sure, why not.

Great, we got DBZ Piccolo
I've had enough of samurai-themed Tfs, they're just too full of clichés.

Wow. Those are super boring looking.

are they not just variations of IDW Drift?

Also.. a hero and a villain who each own one half of a sword. Wasn't that the Power Sword thing in the original He-Man mini-comics you got with the figures (before the cartoon ignored all that)

While the backstory is a little silly, I'm definitely down for more new blood in the franchise. Despite the overt samurai theme, their crazy tank-walker alt-modes could fit into the new WfC lines... maybe we'll get toys of them? Even if you don't like their particular backstory, they could easily be repurposed as cybertronian-mode Drift and Deadlock, or generic Circle of Light members.

Did they just re-use the Cyberverse Shockwave mold for both of these?

Maybe new characters for SIEGE
A Leader class figure called SENTIUS NOBILIUS that can split into two Voyager class sized figures.

But their transformation and alt modes remind me pretty much of the new Cyberverse SHOCKWAVEs.

So it's robot Hanzo and robot-ier Genji. And man, I too am getting tired of Samurai Transformers: it was cool when Bludgeon did it blatantly and Dinobot did way more subtly but after Windblade and Drift it seems like it's the cliche 'new cool kid we're supposed to like' gimmick.

That said, one of them has a bow which is a weapon which doesn't get enough love as a TF weapon, so I'd be fine with them getting figures in Siege, especially if they get reworked into Bludgeon and Banzaitron.

Well, they're new. But this is a fanbase where people keep saying we need new characters and hate them when they show up! I know I tend to do that a lot.

Skritz wrote:So it's robot Hanzo and robot-ier Genji.

Yes, that is in fact a true statement. Whether that's a good or bad thing...remains to be seen, at this point. I do love me some Overwatch, but copy-pasting Overwatch character backgrounds/personalities onto new characters in other franchises does not inherently make me like those characters or make those characters good.

Skritz wrote:That said, one of them has a bow which is a weapon which doesn't get enough love as a TF weapon, so I'd be fine with them getting figures in Siege, especially if they get reworked into Bludgeon and Banzaitron.

I don't see a Shockwave-crab-walker-tank working for Bludgeon, honestly, given he's mostly just been a regular tank. Figures of these two could be cool though, and a Banzaitron repaint has potential since Banzaitron can't seem to stick to a reoccurring alt mode anyway. I think I'd only buy the Decepticon Malus version though, as Magnus and Malus seem like they'd just be repaints of each other, and they'd have to do some retooling on Banzaitron to convince me there. Regardless of what I do or don't buy though, I would be happy to see these two get Siege figures, as it would be more Generations figures of characters that aren't just the G1 cast again.

Overall, new characters are always welcome from my perspective, but they do still have to be good characters.

Well, at least the good half gets bonus point for the bow as I mentionned: bows are criminally underused in Transformers and there is a logic to a samurai-themed Transformers using a bow, namely that the bow was the default ranged weapon of the Samurai. People associate them with the katana and its relatives, but Samurai were trained in a variety of weapons, including the bow and naginata.

Edit: I've thought about it and one issue I have with their design is that they are too similar. Yes they are twins but generally speaking in the franchise twins tend to share a mold but at least have some retooled elements. I think one place where they screwed up is that they should have designed his 'whole' first and given some elements of his design to one and the other elements to the other. Example, say that the whole has both a visor and mouth plate...one could have had a mouthplate and the other the visor.

I want new characters, sure. Drift, Windblade, Victorion... I had no problem with these. Strongarm, Velocity--all good additions.

These, however... they look dumb. I'm sorry. I hope they turn out to be cool, but my initial reaction is... "meh."

In game, though, I'm guessing these will be some sort of powerful weapons for either defending a base or attacking it. Still... meh.

Future, please prove me wrong.

This is actually really cool and unexpected. I wish they could do some sort of Animated Safeguard thing back into their original form, but this is cool.

Wonder if this means toys are in the works?

Considering the backstory they gave him and the presence the Thirteen have in current TF lore: could he have been a servant of Nexus Prime?

Skritz wrote:Considering the backstory they gave him and the presence the Thirteen have in current TF lore: could he have been a servant of Nexus Prime?

Doubtful, his spark was split in 2 and thus formed 2 very opposite twins.
