Combiners

The war on Earth is about to reach new heights! The Enigma of Combination has been located and with it the means to unleash the power of the Combiners: SUPERION & DEVASTATOR.

After months of hard work by our team, we’re finally ready to unleash our biggest feature yet. Combiners will launch in an epic new campaign titled Combiner Wars!

Players will get their first chance to battle with Superion or Devastator on the battlefield during the campaign!

Complete the campaign to unlock the Combiner Lab. Enter the Combiner Lab to combine, upgrade and rank up your Combiners!

Combine Superion or Devastator using your 3 Star Aerialbots or Constructicons in the Combiner Lab. Upgrade your Combiner’s health and damage using Superion or Devastator Spark obtained from duplicate Aerialbots or Constructicons in the Space Bridge.

Collect all 4 Star Aerialbots or Constructicons to rank up Superion or Devastator in the Combiner Lab. Ranking up a Combiner unlocks a new attack and makes them even more deadly on the battlefield.

Unlocking the Combiner Lab will enable you to construct the Ore-13 Harvester and Ore-13 Storage. Ore-13 is used to activate Superion or Devastator in the Combiner Lab allowing you to take them into battles against rival players!

Combiners are equipped with up to three deadly attacks capable of inflicting unimaginable damage to their opponents.

Rush And Smash - Rush into combat smashing walls along the way. Deals heavy damage to the final target.

Rocket Swarm - Fire a swarm of rockets dealing damage over a large area.

Death Ray - Fire a powerful beam that deals massive damage to a single target. Cannot be used on the HQ.

Prepare yourself for the ultimate battle as Combiners launch in Transformers: Earth Wars next week! Look out for upcoming events to support the release of Combiners.

Balancing Update

Tomorrow we'll be releasing a balancing update, including improvements for Blaster, Soundwave, Huffer and Gnaw[/b]! Check out the latest balancing changes below.

Release 1.32.1 - 03-November-2016
-Blaster and Soundwave - Health and damage increased, speed reduced slightly (this means they'll be less likely to run into trouble ahead of the pack).
-Gnaw - Should now behave properly in Bot vs Bot encounters.
-Mini Laser (Huffer) - Ability range and cast range increased, line of sight not required, cost on repeated use decreased. Mini Laser prioritizes enemy defenses and is less likely to be attacked by them.

Exclusive in-game gift

Here's a special link for members of Seibertron.com that will get you an extra 80,000 Energon and 80,000 Alloy along with an extra 15 Fuel Cells to help you battle. This is a multi-use link and will be available to everyone one time. Enjoy!

https://deeplink.me/transformersearthwars.com/?promoCode=QO10KZM

You must redeem your loot link before Wednesday 30th November @ 23:59 UTC to claim your rewards. Click here if you're having trouble redeeming your loot link.

Okay, so both sides need all 3-stars. That makes it a LOT more fair... and also means I only need Long Haul and Bonecrusher~

And this is a non-alliance event, huh? Not bad, could use a break after last time... plus, 750 3-star shards from only 1750 points. Easy peasy and that's enough to make a new crystal for me.

I've got all the 3* Constructicons, and 4/6 of the 4*s. Just need Long Haul and Bonecrusher.

I wonder how mixing and matching will work.

Make sure the game is closed on whatever device you play on, click the link with said device, and it should load for you.

It won't work for me cause I've used a loot already, but it should work for you K

Didn't work at all unfortunately.
Deleted a ton of stuff on my phone just to download the app for this link, and I've gotta say I'm not very happy - not only did the link not work, but two separate times the game died and exited as soon as I tried to enter battle with my C-team. And the first time it reloaded it with a completely separate team made up of members I wasn't using in a completely different squad spot. This is pathetic.

I am having issues with the game as well. since I updated to the new combiner screen, the game keeps hesitating and kicking me off in the middle of battles and then I lose them and it pretends like I lost the battle. And it is majorly hesitating with the XP awards after the battles

See edit above.

VIPs get a perk (loot links) every email. When Burn and I posted the emails, we always edited those out because they won't work for those accounts not coded VIP. That one was in an unusual place

Hi!

If you read the posts following that link... you would have found out we already let everyone know that link is for VIP only and won'the work for anything else.

Did the guy named "burn" just post a song sung by an ice queen? There's some deep irony here.

This seems like a good time to say, if you don't have it already, join us in Line! PM me, Ctrl, or Dizziness for more. It's where the personal Seibertron Decepticon game chat is and it's more accessible on the fly than the forums (no offense intended to Ryan of course, we wouldn't be here without the boards) and way better than in-game chat.

As for the all-3 or 4 star requirement, they're probably going to make the 3-star versions of the Constructicons and Aerialbots more accessible, or they're going to get major backlash from the F2Ps.

Then again it's a pay-to-win game so maybe they don't care about us F2Ps.

Back to the Combiners ... one of the many rumours I heard was that your bots would have to be level 50 as well. Thankfully it looks like that one didn't turn out to be true.

Given how powerful they are though, it makes sense to have the cost of them so high.

So was anyone able to take advantage of the guaranteed 4* combiner packs for $99 that was accidentally released a few hours ago?

It was a pack that allowed you to purchase either all the Aerialbots or all the Constructicons, guaranteeing a 4* team. Apparently it wasn't supposed to be released and got pulled pretty quickly. A few people snared them while everyone else in VIP is pissed that they didn't have a decent chance of getting it.

Christ, $100 for a few dudes? No thank you. You can argue that if you're playing a game for free you should eventually give something back but that's a little bit too ridiculous. You could buy an actual Superion or Devastator for that!

This game has a shelf life of maybe 2 years ... all that money invested into digital characters that they will eventually not be able to use.

Exactly! A little money here and there... for Freemium games, at most I'd go 40 (which is an absolute stretch and I've still never gone anywhere past 10 for anything) since that's what an actual, non-freemium game that I could buy for my DS or whatever would cost. Said non-freemium game being able to last forever and hence no buyer's remorse unless it's that bad.
The best way I'm able to justify buying stuff in these games is if it's like, little pocket money things. I dropped 8 quid for a Build Bot and Cyber Coins? Well... whatever, I could have gotten a takeaway Pizza for that price; no big deal. 100? Get out.

I remember spending something like $110 on Legends back when that was a thing (spread over a few months), and I regret that to this day. Not paying good money for in-game units, no matter how much I want Devastator. If you want my money, make it a game worth spending money on, with money going towards items that don't give me a sharp advantage. Like Team Fortress 2 does. Instead they entice people by making the characters you practically NEED to compete at high levels be absurdly rare unless you pay them. Sigh.

And yeah, they give out 4-star crystal shards during events, but you almost have to already have 4-stars to do well enough to get a significant amount of them to build an arsenal.

You're not the only one.

Big difference between Earth Wars and Legends is that each new bot doesn't make the previous few weeks redundant. I got tired of new Legends cards basically making older cards worthless. And to get decent new cards, you had to invest some SERIOUS coinage.

People can say what they want about Earth Wars, but at least you can get some enjoyment out it without having to pump money into it.

Re: Transformers: Earth Wars Update: Combiners Are Coming, Heavy Metal War Event, plus a special loot code for everyone (1838986)
Posted by King Kuuga on November 4th, 2016 @ 1:21am CDT

Yeah, I give the game credit in that regard. In Legends, you HAD to get each week's cards to do decently in the event, and so on and so forth. That was a vicious cycle.
