    Good that they used actual toy model as an inspiration, skipping over her ridiculous pair of roboboobs.

    The lack of any sort of release date other than "Spring" is somewhat disturbing.
    Its a shame that all of these well made 3D character models go into nothing more than a CofC clone.

    I tried this game when it was in beta or whatever... it is scrap. You cannot even control your guys, just point in a direction and hope for the best... pity as the graphics are not bad, and this could have been a rather good tower defense with TFs.

    Hasbro simply doesn't understand how to market/aim their brand at the mobile market. For stiff aimed at kids, they need to do what Lego does; either full priced premium, OR completely free to play, with little or no IAPs. For kids, the app should link to the toys in some way, and merely be there to sell yours and get kids hooked or aware of the brand.

    For adult collectors, nostalgia and collecting is the main drive, so premium games and/or freemium with IAPs that unlock new DLC, in the form of character packs, new missions, etc, should be used. Plus, these might not even need to be just games. Collectors would go nuts over animated wallpapers, phone themes, and other media.

    Imagine an actually PLAYABLE collectable card game on mobile, with simple mechanics (like the UK's "Top Trumps", for example), where players could buy extra decks of known cards (the "Beast Wars", " 2010", "Armada", etc packs) and use them. Buying them also downloads bonus animated wallpapers of some of the card art, etc.

    Instead, we've gotten shallow, non playable pachinko/gambling "games" with a thin TF skin.

    Enough, Hasbro.

    Well...here come the Windblade haters. You know, I'm not even going to try to defend this time. The other side has made some fair points, and I've made plenty of fair points. Although everyone's still...mostly civil...discussing the merits of the character isn't going to change anything.

    Adios!

    Alpha Bravo

    Forget speed - that's for others. Alpha Bravo is all about precision and manoeuvrability - his helicopter alt. mode tailor made for getting into tight spots no other flyer can reach.Nevertheless, Alpha Bravo has the tiniest bit of an inferiority complex when in the company of his fellow Aerialbots, and sometimes takes unnecessary risks to prove he's every bit as good as them.

    Lol okay... If you mean the very vaguely feminine shaped chest-piece that was about the only thing that even mildly hinted at her being a fem-bot. It wasn't even remotely tacky, overboard, or "ridiculous".
    But maybe I'm misunderstanding you and there was some concept art or comic appearance where she had huge humanoid mammary glands.

    The sad thing is that maybe they do. Clash of Clans clones make a huge amount of money from the in-app purchases.

    Such a bummer they changed the green. They look better in person than the promo images, but that bright aqua, man.

    I'm still 'eh' on this game, but Dustup looks good. I'm glad she didn't get a T&A makeover.

    I see they're still going with the Rust Renegades thing... It's weird that Victorion et al. have only existed for such a short time, and yet her few appearances are evenly split between IDW G1 and whatever continuity this game/her toy are supposed to be in. It's hard to get a feel for the characters with the conflicting info. (I'm still pretty "new" to this in the grand scheme of things," so maybe this is just standard fare.)
