The Transformers: Battle Tactics app has updated, as well as provided us our first glimpse of what the upcoming Galvatronus combiner will look like once Voyager Class Cyclonus is released. (Cyclonus's torso mode features the head to Galvatronus.)

Is Galvatronus going to be in the comics, or is this just something fun Hasbro is doing? I like Cyclonus' current role in the comics. So much depth has been put into him, and would hate he go status quo on us with Galvatron. Keep him with the Lost Light crew.

I'm not a big fan of the idea of Cyclonus being a combiner, and especially not a fan of him being called Galvatronus in combined mode.
Since I am more than content with my Generations Cyclonus figure, this new one is an easy pass for me.

Was anyone really surprised by this? He's the equivalent of the counter to Ultra Prime. That's all. It's possible he might get new limbs eventually like prime is but for now it's fine. It won't be in the comics, it's just a toy.
I'd be cool with a scourge limb maybe because then BOOM! Scourge and sweeps.

I would buy this if they made a Scourge combiner limb. That way I can add 4 sweeps to the main torso.

This has to be something goofy that Hasbro cooked up since he's time hopping with the LL crew and not having anything to do with the stuff happening with Galvatron on Earth.
I'm with you, this is just going to screw up everything they've accomplished with his character in the comics if they have him side with Galvatron especially if it's done for the sole purpose of giving legitimacy to Hasbros' dumb idea.

He won't be. Combiner wars is only a 6 issue event for IDW. The only bots from the lost light that are crossing over are the protectobots(which Im shocked they're being included in the comic). This is just a toy and that's all. Combiner Wars is going be a toy line going into 2016. It's a way to get a lot of combiners and just for fun. You don't like Galvatronus? Fine, don't buy Cyclonus or just keep him in his individual mode. It's like Huffer, windcharger, thundercracker, Megatron, Armada Megatron, Huffer and Bomshell. Just toys to go under the subtitle.
It's like throwing a fit were getting this and not other classic combiners. It's going till 2016, were probably going to see some of them later. Calm your tits people.

Never said I didn't like the toy idea. In fact it's a shame I see more Cyclonus in the pic, less Galvatron, but cool nonetheless. Just inquiring who is going to show up for Combiner Wars. Hoping we get Abominus, I know we got one during Prime's run, would like to see in this set, or better yet Predaking in the same way as Devastator, all Voyagers. One can hope and wish right?

It looks so little like Galvatron I don't really care what they call it. I'm totally sold on Voyager Cyclonus and probably won't be using his combined mode.
I'm a little more interested in his apparent mind control puppets running around at his feet. Is that Wildrider?

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in another Titan combiner. I'm not pointing the finger at you but remember when Metroplex was announced? Everyone and their mother was saying "well obviously we're going to be getting Trypticon, Fort Max, Scorponok ect." What did we get after Metroplex? Nothing not even a redeco of the Metrotitan or Necrotitan.
Devastator is a one and done thing like metroplex was. Could we get Predaking or Abominus? It's totally possible, but it'd be a voyager and four deluxes or we'll get at least one more original Combiner after the fan built team or...they will be the last one. Who knows. It's great we're getting combiners to begin with. Makes me think the only reason were getting combiners is because every character but a couple from 84-87 have now been modernized.
As much of a fanboy I am, I also look at these from the other point of view. If you make the predacons or terrorcons, can you retool/redeco any of them? Probably not so you're going to make those molds and use them once, or fun pub will use them someday for whatever crap they can think of. Or, you can play it safe and use the more popular combiners that can be retooled and repainted over and over like three of the protectobots being retools of stunticons and aerialbots which make sense. It's close enough. I won't be surprised if we get the combaticons and swindle is Offroads mold, vortex is a deco of alpha bravo and this is extreme but brawl is rook and maybe a new blastoff. It works. I'm a huge fanboy but I'm just happy with what we get.

You're right, the animal-based combiners are too individually specific for retool purposes.

I don't know if animal combiners are completely off limits. It's not like they can't just repaint them, give them new names and call them Autobots. There are plenty of Autobots with animal themed names and it's not as if all of the CW figures are based on established stories. Repainting the Predacons and calling them Chainclaw (Razorclaw), Catilla (Rampage), Sky High (Dive Bomb), Groundbreaker (Headstrong), and Gunrunner (Tantrum) would be fine with me. Bonus points for all five being Pretender names.

Closest you'll probably get is a while Armada Megatron. For some reason the design team at Hasbro really doesn't like Galvatron all that much. We've gotten great figures of most of the animated movie's new cast and they've almost all been great (let's see a proper Blurr), but Galvatron just keeps getting shafted. We're long overdue for a proper Galvi, but I'm not optimistic after this.

Today DeNA announced the first in-game event for TRANSFORMERS: BATTLE TACTICS, the turn-based tactical mobile game that lets players collect and assemble teams of iconic AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS. The game’s debut event, Menasor’s Might, runs from March 12 through March 18, during which time players can take on the evil Stunticons who have linked to form the ruthless Combiner, Menasor.
For a limited time, players can battle elite new armies, face off against and collect Stunticons, and compete to build the game’s very first six-unit Combiner, the hulking Menasor. With new characters to battle and collect, plus intense PVP combat, fans of Transformers: Battle Tactics won’t want to miss Menasor’s Might.

Their event reward system is ridiculous also.

Greetings gamers! The Beast Wars have come to the shores of DeNa's Transformers: Battle Tactics. You can join the battle with Megatron and Waspinator with a chance to walk away with Optimus Primal and Cheetor if you're the victor. The mobile game has modeled the characters after their original 96' toys (with the dead giveaway being Waspinator's grey noggin). See what DeNa has to say about the event (running till Tuesday), and take a look at the pics below!
Today DeNA announced the first event featuring Beast Wars for TRANSFORMERS: BATTLE TACTICS, the turn-based tactical mobile game that lets players assemble teams of iconic AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS. Beast Wars Episode 1 runs from April 9 through April 14, when players can collect, fight alongside and take control of classic Maximals and Predacons like Waspinator, Cheetor and Megatron in his ferocious T-Rex Alt Mode!

What the--?! Those are the ORIGINAL toys! 
Not the Generations, not the cartoon models, but the original 1996 pre-cartoon toy designs!

Why is Waspinator's face silver? Is it some reference I am not getting, or is there no reason behind it?

I don't play this game, but if I did I would be all over these.

Always glad to see more Beast Wars.
But man, they went kinda crazy with the toy-accuracy.

Then again, the other characters in this game are all toy-accurate too. They're just based on more modern toys like Generations and stuff from the TCC.Noideaforaname wrote:Always glad to see more Beast Wars.

I don't see any pins or hinges or gaps in the vehicle bots, or at least they're not as obvious. They don't scream "toy" anywhere near as loudly. I mean, I don't mind the amusing retroness of Waspinator's grey noggin or the hints of the masks on the other 3, but c'mon, Primal turns into an actual gorilla. He doesn't need a button on his butt.

With the new update expanding leagues to ten members it's time to recruit...my league, Zombots, needs some more active players.
We play daily, we play the events, but we're free players. Only requirement to join is that you're warrior 1 level or higher, and that you're an active daily player.

Okay so I've been playing this about a week now. Apparently I've already missed my opportunity to complete Menasor and Superion? That kind of sucks, but I guess it's all about that $$$ for DeNA. I will not fork out for that, not like I did with Legends. It's a fun game and I think it would be much better if they charged a modest download fee, or offered cosmetics for money a la Valve, instead of this pay to unlock the best character nonsense.

As soon as I saw that the app includes in-game purchases, I decided not to even download it. I'm not going to waste my time on a Skinner Box.

Honestly thou, I've been playing this one since the beta release, and I haven't paid a cent. Yhea, i'm not going to have a shot at some of the hardest to get event pieces, but i'm doing OK regardless.

On that note, can anyone tell me if I stand a chance of picking up the exclusive Scourge as a free player? I figure if I keep leveling up through the month I can afford stronger characters that will let me beat the medium and hard campaigns to get the appropriate resources, but I want to know if I'm wasting my time.

Hard to say, yesterday I would have thought it should be fine, but today seems to be more of a struggle as the best team I can field for today's requirement is'nt very strong even when fully upgraded.
In a couple days it should be clearer.

Interestingly enough, I can put together a stronger team for today than yesterday. I've scraped through most of the Medium campaign with some good rolls. Looks like the final Medium team with all the First Strikers is going to wall me for today, though.
