    Razorclaw is in there to I wonder if it's a new design or based on an older release.

    Hasn't this been out before, or at least for a while?

    I KNOW I've played this same Transformers before...

    If it had a single player mode, I'd be interested. Since it's player vs. Player, with microtransactions, I think the winner will be whoever spent the most money.

    Seriously I don't like this trailer. I 1st saw it on youtube and got all hyped up watching it thinking we were getting along the lines of WFC, FOC, or Devastation. To find out it's a mobile RTS no doubt filled with a ton of mircotransactions.

    I believe the asian version has been playable for a while.

    Yes, I know it's a game model. Lots of the models in the game are based on recent figures. Since we had leaks that a Legends Kickback is coming, I thought perhaps this game model could have been based on that figure.

    The while stylized, the Ratchet figure seems to have some attributes from the Combiner Wars First Aid mold in it (shoulders, crotch, legs). Hope that means we are getting him from that mold.

    Is this model supposed to be Bludgeon's inner robot? It's tagged as Brawl.

    Damn, I'd rather this be a full-size console/PC game instead of a mobile game.

    It's confusing. You have to click on the link on the front page to see the pictures and not click on the actual discussion to, you know, discuss the pictures you should be looking at.

    I have no idea why TFW continues to adhere to this design.

    In other words this:
    Transformers Earth Wars Launches This Spring - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM

    Brings up the discussion here:
    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...0898-transformers-earth-wars-mobile-game.html

    But if you just click on the discussion you miss most of what's being discussed.

    sigh... another TF skin on an already popular game format, often using identical game mechanics from an existing hit. Mobage reskinned TF legends, DeNA reskinned Super Battle Tactics into TF Battle Tactics. Don't have the details on this game naturally, but as others have said, this is basically following your Clash of Clans build a base and defend/attack from other players format...

    I'd love a less derivative gaming experience that really taps into TF lore.
    Now that I'm randomly thinking of stuff, what about a mobile TF RPG, where you use a 3-5 member squad? Combat mechanics would be a la Mario RPG, where you select attacks/skills (based on mode) and there's a timing or motion aspect to do extra damage or trigger extra effects. That's a combat system that's tailor made for mobile gaming.

    Wouldn't mind a largely text told story (although voices are always a plus) and you'd play through the various episodes of the TF cartoon with either your chosen Autobot or Decepticon squad needing to triumph through the entire episode. Could make the first season free and charge a small fee for subsequent seasons, or make the "main" plot episodes free and charge fees for side plot episodes that also let you unlock B-list transformers to add to your roster.

    Hell they could run this format with all the existing fictions and have an Axiom Nexus arena where you can assemble your dream squad across different lines of fiction to match up against other players. There could be the any team goes battles, then weekly theme tournaments like Prime Conflict, Dinobot Duels, Beastmode Brawl, Triple Changer Tourney, or even... haha Combiner Wars.

    sigh... now I want to play a game that will never exist :(

    The ratchet looks like the universe deluxe to me, modified a bit but I'd say that's what it's based on. Sane as that bumblebee.
    Kickback looks decent, hope the inevitable titan master gimmick isn't too obvious in bot mode.
    Razor claw is nice, could just be a stylised update of the G1 design though.
    The prime is flat out bizarre, they took mp10 and slapped the front wheel arches on his arms... ok then.

    That's definitely Brawl. Bludgeon looks like he's based on the ROTF figure with an IDW-based head.

    YES! Prayers answered! Hopefully they got some of they're inspiration from AirMech Arena.

    Anyone with a XBone or PS4 should have that game since it's free to download and extremely fun to play.

    It soft launched in Australia a while back. If you are on Android, it's not hard to find the APK and load it up. I've been playing it for weeks.
