Just recently, the Transformers: Legends game by Mobage just wrapped up a game event, "Unleash the Beasts". Hopefully, gamers are ready for more, as an new event titled "Cold Delivery" is now live! The event features Cosmos, Jetfire, Sky Lynx, and Omega Supreme as the bosses. For this event the special Spacebridge characters are two of the most feared Decepticons to be spawned by Unicron, Scourge and Cyclonus! TFW2005.COM member puma was not only kind enough to let everyone know about the event, but also took a screen shot of the start page.

If you have an iPhone or an Android, this is a free downloadable app that you can download by clicking here (data transfer charges apply, of course). This game is a multi-player card-based battle game that features much of the Classics-Generations characters, featuring new character artwork on each of the battle cards. This game allows the player to go through stages as well as teaming up with allies to beat bosses during events like the one reported here!

Mobage's next Transformers Legends game event has been revealed. Following on from the recent Fatal Furies event we have a Beast Hunters themed event called Unleash the Beast. Shockwave has been tampering with CNA and cloning experiments again and has unleashed the Terrorcons, threats to Autobot and Decepticon alike. Event cards for the episode include Razorclaw and Divebomb, and boss cards are tipped to be Rippersnapper, Blight, Twinstrike, and Hun-Gurrr - four out of five components of the Beast Hunters incarnation of Abominus.

Please note that this event has not yet been officially added to Mobage's website or Facebook and details - such as the event dates - are still subject to change.

We have with us some sample images of Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron 2014 Wall Calendar.

The calendar is published by Day Dream and will be available on 1st August, 2013.

Kicking off yesterday 29 April and running through to next Monday 6 May we have the "Fatal Furies" event. Fatal Furies pits players against the female Autobot commando team led by Elita-1. Bosses of the event, based on the artwork, seem to be Elita-1 herself, Chromia, Firestar, and Arcee who is a hybrid of her Generation 1 and Transformers Prime looks.

Mobage have teased their next event for their Transformers Legends Mobile Game on Facebook. It seems that the next event following on from Day of the Dinobots will be a Seeker theme event named "Robots in the Skies". The teaser art shows off Sunstorm, Skywarp and Thundercracker quite prominently, suggesting that they will be the three "boss" characters players will face off against over the course of the event - although Acid Storm is also lurking in the background, so anything is possible.

Mobage have announced on their Facebook page that a new event for their Transformers Legends Mobile Game will be kicking off on 4 April 2013. The event is named "Day of the Dinobots", and if the previous Harvest of the Insecticons event is anything to go by, it will be an opportunity to encounter some new character cards and boss battles - as well as incorporating a leader board with rare cards up for grabs based on your placing at the end of the event.

Jagex; developers of Transformers: Universe MOBA recently sat down with Game Informer for an interview.

It is clear from the interview that the game is undergoing some drastic changes from what we fans initially thought it to be. First, the game went from an MMORPG to an MOBA. Now, new information is regarding the character customization aspect of the upcoming game.

In what ways can you create and customize your character? Do you play a single Transformer, or multiple characters?

Horton: Full character customization like you see in MMORPG’s can’t really be all that varied for a car that has to transform into a robot smoothly and also perform as a game character flawlessly, making a Transformers character that performs its duty a challenge before you add any really worthwhile customization. Picking bits of headgear, tunic colors or adding body kits to a vehicle aren’t that straightforward in a robot-vehicle character. We have customization, but the ultimate dream of creating your own custom bot from a car of your choice is a massive undertaking that doesn’t really enhance the game that much. It’s not as cool when you compare it to having your own collection of purpose-built bots with different play-styles, handling, weaponry, and specialties. It’s in the Transformers brand DNA as a toy, something that captures your imagination as you take it on adventures, not to mention the collectability, having a cool selection of Transformers characters. Its game art imitating life.

Coupe: Absolutely – I think players will really enjoy learning more about the new characters that we’re introducing to the Transformers’ Universe. These are genuinely brand new characters that people won’t have encountered, all with their own abilities, weapons and personalities, some Bots compliment other characters, some don’t and players are going to have to learn which combinations work best together. You’ll also be able to add elements of personalization to the members of your squad, so you won’t be completely without character personalization. The most obvious version of this is the personalization seen within weapons, you’ll be able to adjust modules within these weapons to give you multiple combinations that will be unique to your bot.

We do hope that none of you have forgotten about Transformers Universe. Development for this upcoming MOBA Game (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is happening quietly and some of our 2005 Boards members may even be eligible for Beta Testing.

Breaking the silence, the Music Composer for Transformers Universe; James Hannigan has told Forbes some tidbits about what he did and what the game is like:

More importantly, are you a Transformers fan, at all?
Giant, battling transforming alien robots… what’s not to like? Most recently, I watched the original animated movie again and caught ‘Robots in Disguise’ along with season one of ‘Prime’. Very enjoyable and interesting to see how things have evolved over the years in the world of Transformers.

How would you describe the sound of Transformers Universe?
Some of the music is not a million miles away from the stylistic framework established for Transformers in general, but there’s also a move towards being a little harsher and grittier at times. Steve Lord, the Audio Director on Transformers Universe, wanted some tracks to have a grinding, almost mechanistic and robotic feel to them. But there’s quite a bit of orchestral music in there, too. We recorded a 72-piece orchestra for some of the early music going into the game, and there’ll be more orchestral production in the near future as composing and recording for Transformers Universe is an ongoing process. One of the interesting and refreshing things about this game is how episodic it is with new content getting planned for it all the time.

If you had to pick one track to represent the soundtrack, which would it be and why?
It’s difficult to single out any one track but I’d say that collectively the various themes will define the sound and set the tone for the game. I particularly like the Autobot Theme, which tries to capture an air of nobility and heroism, coupled with awesome firepower!

James Hannigan is an award-winning British film, television and video game composer who has composed music for various entries in the Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Command & Conquer and Red Alert series' of games. You can listen to some of his work by clicking on the YouTube links above.

For those who have yet to unlock Prime Mode or fully level up their characters on the Transformers Fall of Cybertron multiplayer mode, good news! High Moon Studios has announced today on Facebook that from this point forward, all multiplayer EXP bonuses on the game will be doubled! If you're a new player or someone who's not delved into the multiplayer all that much so far, now is a great time to start exploring this part of Transformers Fall of Cybertron's gameplay.

Mobage's Transformers Legends game is having a special week-long event. During the event, titled Harvest of the Insecticons, there are a whole bunch of special rewards for you to enjoy and new challenges to face you.

The stars of the event are the Insecticons. By participating in the event, they may show up in gameplay as random encounter bosses to challenge your nine-card fighting deck. They start out easy enough but soon ratchet up the strength.

To aid you along the way there are some pretty serious rewards being offered by the game including new silver and gold warrior medals, which let you draw new cards from the Spacebridge, plus the event boss Insecticons give out lots of points and items that are otherwise hard to acquire in game. There's also a ranking system in play - the higher your rank by the end of the event, the bigger the rewards, with the top ranked players getting sets of the Insecticons' new tier 3 cards, their weapons, and more. There's also some new cards to be acquired in general play, including new cards of Hound and Mirage in both modes.
