I will be honest, I was a little bummed to find out I wasn't credited for sharing at first, but now I'm fine with it. I probably shared a little late and others found it first. No worries

After the initial announcement of two new characters from Space Ape's Transformers: Earth Wars story mastermind Simon Furman, which we reported on back here, we now have the full press release about Sentius Magnus and Sentius Malus - the Sentius Twins - being available and playable in the game! Check out the trailer again, and the full release, below.

Two New Transformers Characters Debut and are Now Available to Play in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WAR
SENTIUS MAGNUS and SENTIUS MALUS Introduce Order and Chaos to Earth Wars Saga


September 14, 2018 -- LONDON -- Today, a brand new update comes to real-time combat strategy mobile game TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, serving as the worldwide introduction of the SENTIUS TWINS, SENTIUS MAGNUS and SENTIUS MALUS. Fans can check out the new characters, which are now part of the Transformers universe, by downloading the award-winning mobile game from Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games 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. To learn more about the history of these two new characters, and the role they play in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, fans can watch the making of video here and an introduction from writer Simon Furman here.



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. Players can 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.spaceapegames.com.

So, with that $92million in bookings, we're going to see some serious enhancements to gameplay (different modes, different base layouts, new ways of warring, etc.) any day now right?

Right?

Also, I know it's been harped on in earlier posts about this story, but the completely blah samurai look of these two is going to guarantee that they are forgotten into the dustbin of history in no time.

Don't get me wrong, people are going to find the characters important in TF:EW, if the gameplay mechanic we got to pilot is anything to go by. And maybe one day they'll even get a spidey crab tank toy ala Cyberverse Shockwave. But if you think these two are going to capture the imaginations of the fans I think SA should have handled them differently.

For starters, the hype was unreal (and maybe they're still building up to the rumored gameplay changes), and instead of launching Titans! Primus! Unicron! massive gameplay expansion! they were like Prime Core Guardians!

Now that the toy line is done hyping them, is anyone going to care about Prime Cores anymore?

I might be in the minority, but I think Transformers doesn't need any more new characters.

In the 30+ years of the brand this is a franchise that has thousands of characters, many of whom could be revisited and given some more limelight. I think there was someone that said these two are basically Roulette and Shadow Striker who could stand to return (maybe get some non exclusive toys)

I feel like this is a case where any time a new creator gets involved with some portion of the brand, they want to add to it with their own guy, make their own mark. I can understand that desire, I doubt there's anyone here who doesn't have at least one character they made up and would love to add if given the opportunity, but that's also why every new, hastily sketched character, is met with a "bleh".

We've got fantastic news for fans of the Transformers: Earth Wars game, as we've received word via the official newsletter that a brand new game mode, Raid Battles, are live! A new campaign has been added in as well, Return to Cybertron, which was written by legendary Transformers fiction author, Simon Furman!

Here's the newsletter in full.

NEW GAME MODE: RAID BATTLES

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!

The NEW game mode: Raid Battles are finally here in Transformers: Earth Warsalong with a new campaign: Return to Cybertron featuring a story written by renowned Transformers comics writer, Simon Furman.

Raid Battles are new alliance war mode where an entire alliance works together to overcome multiple strong raid bases to collect Raid Points and unlock rewards.



And the very first Raid Battles event: Raid to Cybertron is currently on!

As some of you know, there have been some connection issues since the start of the event, for which we’d like to sincerely apologize.

Since a majority of players are able to play now after some fixes, we’ve decided to keep the event running. There will be a compensation on this coming Monday, 3rd of December, including 5* Shards, Shanix Coins and Fuel Cells to storage that can be used in an upcoming event.

Don’t miss out this chance to try this new game mode and collect new currency:Shanix Coins to purchase some unique items such as Universal Combiner Sparks,Ore-13, XP Power Cores, Power Core Chips and 5-Star Optimus Primal or BW Megatron.

At a later point, the Raid Battles will find another place as a mid-week event, which will take place every Tuesday at 10:00 AM UTC to Thursday 10:00 AM UTC. This mode is still Work in Progress, we are working hard to make it happen as soon as possible! Stay tuned for more details for the midweek Raid events!

Read on for an in-depth view of what Raid Battles are and how they work in our WIki.

Be prepared to take on some giant and awesome defences!

Will you be taking part in this new mode? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

A little late for the announcememt, because the weekend event showing the game mode off is already over XD, but don't worry about. I think the game mode is perfect for hardcore players and people who pay to play, but a little difficult for others.

I wouldn't say you have to pay to win--I did 77k worth of damage for my alliance in it (out of the 1 million total for the entire 40 players), but it is more hardcore requiring more strategy. I thoroughly enjoyed it as it has been the same ole / same ole for a while now.

From the Transformers Earth Wars Facebook Page, we have news that the developers, Space Ape Studios are trying to make amends for connection issues that plagued the launch of their new Raid Mode. They are offering in-game items for free as a recompense. To claim the rewards, players have to fully close the app and then click the link in the included post below.

Raid Battles Update



Some of you might be wondering when Raid Battles are coming back?

We’ve been working hard to fix some bugs since the last Raid event and we are getting there!

If everything goes smoothly, the first midweek Raid Battles event will arrive in the Earth Ears next week from Tuesday, December 18th to Thursday, December 20th. If not, it will be postponed to the new year.

Prior to the first midweek Raid event, let us explain the difference between midweek and weekend mode.

In the mid-week mode, you won’t need to earn Energy cells to attack Raid bases, instead, at the start of the event, you will have enough cells to do 5 Raid attempts which will be the limit for each player in this type of event to try and dish out as much damage as you can within your limited attempts. So it will be definitely less grinding than the last Raid event. And most importantly, the prize will be Shanix Coins!



Upcoming Bots: Goldfire & Ramjet



Goldfire and Ramjet, Transform!

Have you watched last week’s live stream? If not, you’d better check it out as the team showed how Goldfire and Ramjet transform in the showroom!



A Snowball Challenge Battle!



Winter Season has come to the Earth Wars!

There will be a special Campaign level later this week to get a taste of winter and play with some of the most popular 2018 Transformers!

Keep your eye peeled on the in-game newsfeed!



Balance Update / Bug Fixes



Here is the update on some bug fixes and changes.

Error 2306
We are aware of players encountering error code 2306, predominantly seen during alliance wars when scouting or entering a battle. We have identified and fixed the issue which will be rolled out with the next update. 
 
• XP power core cost
  The cost of Gold XP Power Core has been reduced to 1,000 from 1,500 Shanix coins last Thursday. All players who purchased the core before then should have received 500 Shanix coins to match the current price.

There will be no stream this year.
We’ll be back LIVE Thursday, January 10 @5pm UTC!

**Each Final Thrust Crystal contains one of the following rewards:





New G1 Power Cores



From at some point on 20/12/2018, the following bot duplicates have a chance to drop the newest G1 Power Cores. So keep eye on the in-game newsfeed!

Each of these G1 Power Cores will give them a classic look and unique abilities!



G1 Grimlock & G1 Razorclaw: Increases the special ability damage and generates a shield which absorbs received damage.



G1 Ironhide & G1 Bludgeon: Increases the bot's health and gives the bot a chance to taunt nearby defenses.



G1 Prowl & G1 Brawl: Increased special ability damage and sets the target on fire dealing extra damage for several seconds.



G1 Hot Spot & G1 Tantrum: Generates a permanent protective shield that reflects damage back to the attackers!

The challenge battle will be available via in-game newsfeed to get a taste of these new G1 Power Cores.



New Bots Update

Goldfire and Ramjet are joining the ranks next weekend so it’s about time to reveal their special ability!



Both Goldfire and Ramjet have the same ability called Blazing Charge and it’s looking good!


  

Blazing Charge: Rush into combat setting buildings on fire and dealing damage to each of them over time. The effect will spread if the building is destroyed during this time.



Error 2306 Compensation



Last week, we had an issue where sometimes attacking a base during an alliance war resulted in error 2306. This bug is fixed by now, but some of you were severely impacted in your alliance wars, at times being unable to win a war due to this error.

We tried to compile a full list of all players affected by this error, but due to the nature of it, this turned out to be not just extremely complicated, but impossible. Instead of the desired exact and targeted compensation, we have to settle for the next best thing, a promo code for everyone. We know it’s not the ideal scenario, but we also wanted to give you at least some sort of compensation. 

Please use below link to claim your compensation of 10.000 Spark. The code is valid until 26th of December 2018.

https://deeplink.me/transformersearthwars.com/?promoCode=RAID2306 
(make sure to close the game completely and then click on the link to claim the reward)

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding in this matter!



Balance Update / Bug Fixes



Here is the update on some bug fixes and changes.

• Sky Lynx/Blitzwing attacking HQ16
  We have identified and resolved an issue with Sky Lynx & Blitzwing’s ability combination in some instances not working on HQs with power cores attached to them.

Raid Battles Update



You might be wondering when Raid Battles event will be back? Don’t worry as they are coming back soon!

We’ve been working on bug fixes and improvements since the last Raid event and we are almost there!

The following improvements were added to Raid Battles feature:

• You can check number of attempts done for each member in the alliance leaderboard
• You can now attack a Raid battle straight from the scouting screen if the Raid base is available

And we have also fixed an issue where a player couldn’t see the alliance’s progress and would waste attacks on already defeated bases.

Hope you will enjoy the Raid event more with those improvements!



Under investigation



Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:

• Bots stuck on the spot in battle
  We have identified an issue within the battle engine that can cause bots to get stuck on the spot. This issue is most prominent withCheetor/Blackarachnia, but have received reports of this occurring on multiple bots. We are currently working a potential fix for this.

This is just an example of the reports that we've received from you and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

We would like to thank you for your time and patience, and if you have any issues to report, please get in touch with us here: [url=mailto:support@transformersearthwars.com]support@transformersearthwars.com[/url]. Alternatively, you can reach out to us in game via Menu > Community > Contact Support.



Bug Fixes



The following bug fixes are coming to the game!

• Raid base select not displaying correct zone status
  During the midweek Raid event, some players were seeing an issue whereby the raid zone select window would display 0% for all bases, despite damage being done. This issue was caused by slow connection or dropouts when loading the data. This issue has been resolved by adding a short load check before the zone data is displayed.

Under investigation



Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:

• Huffer/Lockdown ability change
  Late last year we had to revert the ability rework for Huffer/Lockdown’s ability due to an unforeseen issue related to the HQ core. We are currently working at resolving this issue in order to bring back the ability rework.

This is just an example of the reports that we've received from you and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

We would like to thank you for your time and patience, and if you have any issues to report, please get in touch with us here: [url=mailto:support@transformersearthwars.com]support@transformersearthwars.com[/url]. Alternatively, you can reach out to us in game via Menu > Community > Contact Support.



Bug Fixes



The following bug fixes are coming to the game!

Springer/Astrotrain ability stuns combiners
When used on defence, Springer/Astrotrain’s ability would stun combiners if the projectile targeted it. Combiners should not be stunned under any circumstances. This has been addressed and will be fixed this week.
 
• G1 Prowl/Brawl affects other gunners rockets
  If another bot triggers Rocket Barrage in the same squad asProwl/Brawl with their G1 core equipped, they would also set the targets on fire. This core should only set on fire the buildings struck byProwl/Brawl rockets. This fix will be implemented next week.

There will be no stream this Thursday.

Streetwise (sometimes also known as Streetstar or Streetsmart) is a member of the Protectobots, a team of emergency, rescue and law enforcement bots. Other Protectobots already in the game are Hot Spot and First Aid. They were designed to protect humans from the Combaticons team that can combine into Bruticus.

In the case of Streetwise, our design was informed by the car whose design we thought looked really slick in the Generations Combiner Wars toyline.



Sinnertwin (sometimes also known as Twinstrike) is a member of the Terrorcons, a team of positively insane and exceptionally cruel Decepticons. They all have personality disorders and Sinnertwin’s resides in his sadistic nature when it comes to killing. He is the fourth Terrorcon to join the game after Hun-Gurrr, Cutthroat and Rippersnapper.

Our design for the game was also inspired by the Power of the Primes toyline.



Under investigation



Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:

• Players have reported that the amount of healing provided by First Aid/Reflectordoes not match the value displayed on the character’s screen. We are working at aligning these values in a future content update.

This is just an example of the reports that we've received from you and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

Bug Fixes / Balance Update



The following bug fixes and balance update are coming to the game!

• G1 Prowl ＆Brawl power core
  We have updated the description of the G1 Prowl and Brawl power core. It now reflects more accurately the amount of extra damage dealt for every level of the core.We have fixed a bug affecting the duration of the fire effect created by the G1 Prowl/Brawl power core. Previously, it could last up to 12 secs doubling the amount of damage provided over time. It now lasts for 6 secs as per the description.
   
• White Kremzeek
  We decided to disable the ability of White Kremzeek to target the HQ directly. Taking down the HQ easily from afar goes against our design idea of battles and unfortunately the Adaptive Shielding core did not prove to be a sufficient counterbalance. We are putting the White Kremzeeks in line with similar strong effects like Death Ray. The White Kremzeeks will stay as they are in any other aspect and will still be very useful against other targets than the HQ or in raids.
  • This balance update will go live at some point this Thursday.

Under investigation



Here is the issue reported that we've been investigating:

• We’ve been investigating more issues with walls and the battle engine. This is still very much work in progress so we cannot share any details at this stage

Bug Fixes



The following bug fixes are coming to the game later today!

• We received a large number of player reports regarding First Aid/Reflectorshealing stat not matching the amount they actually deal.
  This issue was caused by the healing and bot power values being artificially high on the bots profile screen.
  • We have adjusted these values on the profile screen so they now match the effective power and healing of these bots on the battlefield.These changes are purely cosmetic and won’t make any difference for these bots healing or attacking power. 
     
• We fixed several issues affecting bots equipped with G1 Cores making them appear as the opposite faction bot in some specific situations.
• We fixed an issue getting bots stuck on the spot walking.
• Huffer and Lockdown's Special Ability turrets will now inherit a percentage of the health and damage stats from their creator. Please check the details on the wiki.
• Solved bugs affecting Blaster and Soundwave’s minions making them die immediately after deploy.
• Combiners could be previously be stunned by the Thunder Towers in Raid. This is now fixed.
• After triggering an outpost and entering stealth mode, outpost bots were targetingSlash/Rippersnapper without attacking them, pushing the bots off canvas. It is now fixed in most cases.

New Bots: Streetwise & Sinnertwin

Two Special class bots: Streetwise and Sinnertwin are joining the Earth Wars this weekend!



Nothing escapes Streetwise's notice, and even the most seemingly insignificant details get filed away in his hyperactive processor for further analysis. Put simply, Streetwise is an environmental sponge.

Put him anywhere in the galaxy and he'll know the place like the back of his hand in hours. Right down to the local dialects and slang expressions - which he often adopts.

With armaments such as double-barrelled air compressor cannon and sensor-blinding photon pistol, he packs a punch equally in both robot and car mode.

 




Inactivity weighs heavily on Sinnertwin, and if he's not ravaging or destroying something on a fairly regular basis he gets a little restless, and restlessness equates to going out and finding something to tear to shreds with his teeth, horns or claws.

Mayhem on any level brings him a singular pleasure, and Autobot cries and screams are music to his audio modules.

In his twin-headed dragon-like beast mode he has numerous weapons at his disposal, including a back-mounted flame cannon and internal flamethrowers that allow both heads to breathe fire.


Streetwise and Sinnertwin have the same ability.




Timesplit Grenade: Shoots a timesplit grenade. When caught in the explosion, every ally is 30% faster while enemies are 30% slower. Both effects last for seconds.

Their challenge battle will be available via newsfeed prior to the weekend event!

These are just some examples of the reports that we've received from you and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

It’s been a good few months since anyone’s posted here. I continue to enjoy the game without even spending money but is anyone else even still playing? If so are you still enjoying it or do you think it’s run its course?

Aresholes in clans plus the need to constantly be playing killed the game for me.

I'll stick with Pokemon Go, I can play it at my own leisure.

Yeah, man, I try to keep things upbeat and lively but like nobody talks ever and nobody really earns much. At times lately I’ve been kinda, meh, about it, but in some ways it’s like another part of my Transformer collection. It’s still fun sometimes to put together a squad of my faves and just blow some stuff up

Pretty much this. I quit about this time last year for good cause it took almost your entire weekend to compete in an event to be in an alliance.

It lost the fun and became a chore, so I left.
