:''Runamuck is a [[Decepticon]] [[Battlecharger]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Runamuckg1.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Damnit Pantera, this beer is warm!]]
'''Runamuck''' and [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] are the [[Battlecharger]]s, a nearly inseparable pair of hooligans. Runamuck in particular likes to make things explode, heh heh, and ''loves'' a good wreck. He has been known to wander around junkyards, fascinated by the carnage of twisted metal and shattered glass. This only makes him want to blow more enemies into heaps of slag. Heh heh, slag. He does not consider it beneath him to indulge in petty acts of vandalism, and thinks a good insult sprayed on a clean wall is a Decepticon victory, heh heh.

As a Battlecharger, he's well-equipped to do it. He'll speed up crowded highways at his 180 MPH top speed (at which he can go up to 600 miles), smashing everything in his path, without regard to his fenders. Then he transforms into [[robot mode]] (in less than half a second) to use his prized tool of wholesale destruction—a [[friction rifle]].

This terrible weapon does little damage, but it leaves a field around his target that enhances molecular heating from friction. With the slightest move, a catastrophic buildup of thermal energy bursts his foe asunder in a shower of burned metal fragments and smoke. The field wears off in five minutes, if the target is able to stay absolutely still for that long. Usually they just end up as a big mess. Runamuck loves a big mess, heh heh.

Runamuck is also equipped with short-range rocket boosters to help him jump over obstacles, but strangely enough, he is terrified of heights.

[[File:Battlechargersperchance.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|My car is really fast... it kicks a lotta ass... it runs on gas... I drive it on the grass...]]
The Battlechargers were summoned to [[Earth]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who wanted a dramatic way to announce his challenge to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] for a fight to the death. The two immediately ignored their orders, and began to raise a bit of random highway havoc. ''Encountering [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]], the two dropped firetraps and wrecked piles of cars behind them. Unable to stop them quietly on his own terms, Prowl grew angry and... was halted by Optimus Prime, who was dismayed with his recklessness.''<ref>This story may not have happened in the Marvel continuity proper, as it occurs in a dream sequence within a story that leads into the incompatible [[Earthforce]] storyline.</ref> {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}} During a break in the mayhem, they rested in a parking lot and saw a defiant youngster expressing his disgust of family vacations through graffiti. His dad angrily escorted him back to the station wagon, and their holiday trip resumed. The Battlechargers, impressed by the boy's disregard for authority, began following the family on a road trip through the [[United States of America|U.S.]], defacing any monuments they happened upon (such as [[Mount Rushmore]], the [[Gateway Arch]] in [[St. Louis]], and the [[Washington Monument]]). They wrote insults and jokes in a [[Cybertronian language]], thus attracting the attention of [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]], which had already captured thirteen Autobots.

[[File:Battlechargers-marvel23a.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
RAAT caught up with them in [[Philadelphia]], where [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] engaged them in a battle that nearly killed the graffiti-inclined boy. Because of her disregard for civilian safety, Circuit Breaker was temporarily stripped of her command and ordered to stay out of action. Itching for revenge, she found her only allies to be the partially-disassembled [[Autobot]]s in her RAAT lab. She didn't have time to rebuild them all properly, but she knew she could jury-rig them together into [[Circuit Breaker's Autobot suit|a single form which she could partially control]]. However, she needed the Autobots' consent, and they only agreed to do it if she would release them afterward. She agreed, and she soon fought an aerial battle with the two Decepticons at the [[Statue of Liberty]] (where, incidentally, they had written "humans are wimps" in poor English). The two hooligans met quick defeat at the hands of her makeshift gestalt, their charred bodies sent plunging into the harbor. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}} ''Optimus, worried, watched multiple screens showing the latest attacks by Decepticon arrivals from Cybertron, and saw that Runamuck and Runabout were only the most recent to endanger human life.''{{storylink|Prey!}}

Some contradictory accounts followed. One placed Runamuck alongside [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s crew, aiding in his facade that presented the Decepticons' island base as a [[Club Con|tropical resort for humans]]. Runamuck was advertised on television as part of the island's smiling welcoming party. Another account placed Runamack helping the Autobot Blaster in a training session before he infiltrated said island base. Best to not think too hard about either. {{storylink|Club Con!}}

[[File:Hosehead3.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|That big guy, like, kicked the little guys' asses.]]
When [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] wanted to wrest control of the Earth-based Decepticons from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], the Battlechargers joined his motley band of rebels. {{storylink|Surrender!}} They attacked Scorponok's [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]] [[New Jersey base|base]], collapsing it onto itself. [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] then urged his comrades to help him dig out whatever survivors there might be to offer them a choice; join them or be destroyed. Unfortunately, the first to be excavated was Scorponok. Runamuck, [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], Runabout, and [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]] tried to gun him down together, but their laser fire proved ineffective against Scorponok's ultra-dense armor. The enemy leader easily tackled all four of them at once, taking them out of the ensuing battle. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}} Just as said battle ended, the combatants were transported to Cybertron by [[Primus]], who was gathering his Transformer children to stand against the demigod [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. The pair were in attendance as Primus spoke to the assembled Transformers through the body of [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], though Runamuck was more concerned about some Autobots they'd recently angered as Runabout screwed his [[kibble]] back on. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Runamuck was a casualty in the ensuing planet-wide battle, his wrecked [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (oddly emblazoned with an Autobot symbol) was shown amongst the fallen. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Battlechargers stunticons life in the slow lane.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
During the [[Decepticon Civil War]], Runamuck sided against [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and joined [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s team. When Shockwave heard the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] had been revived without the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], he and his men attacked [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]'s crew in an attempt to beat the secret of their resurrection out of them. Runamuck managed to set [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Swoop]]'s wing on fire with his [[friction rifle]], but just a second later Grimlock decked him with a thunder-lizard punch, taking him out of the fight. {{storylink|Two Steps Back!}}

When the fighting between Megatron's and Shockwave's forces reached a height neither faction leader was comfortable with, they called for an [[Enclave]] to negotiate an alliance. Runamuck attended the festivities, only for some Autobot saboteurs to fake an assassination attempt on Megatron. A giant brawl ensued, and Runamuck got the stuffing beat out of him. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}}

When Megatron lost a [[global warming satellite]] to the Autobots, along with its poison gas canisters, Shockwave sent the Battlechargers out to retrieve it for his own purposes. They ran into [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] at the crash site, and got into a fight over who would take possession of the rocket and its contents. Little did they know the Autobot [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]] had already removed and neutralized the rocket's contents, making their tussle utterly pointless' {{storylink|Life in the Slow Lane}} Later, after the Decepticon factions unified, Runabout and Runamuck were seen attacking the Autobot Earthbase with the full Decepticon force but they ultimately failed to gain any ground and retreated. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

=====Rhythms of Darkness!=====
In an alternate future in [[2009]], Runamuck was among the warriors defending the [[Decepticon Powerbase]] against a desperate assault launched by the last seven remaining Autobots. He was shot down by a charging [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

[[File:NewDawn-whatarethey.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Yay, I'm alive! Probably forev—]]
Despite his apparent death, Runamuck was with the other Decepticons when they ran into [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]]. He was among the first casualties of a battle that nearly cost even the new-and-improved [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] his life. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

[[File:Prowl streetwise runamuck destiny.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
During [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s [[Gene Key]] fiasco, Runamuck was defending the [[Civil Defense Hub]] when the remaining free Autobots besieged and took control of it. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

Later, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] had [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]], [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] out hunting for [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s Neo-Decepticons but they had apparently gone to ground, leaving only "small fry" like Runamuck still visibly active. Having insulted him to his face, the Autobots arrested him anyway, leading him away in cuffs. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}}

====''Transformers '84''====
[[File:Decepticons purge secrets and lies 1.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6]]
Early in the [[Great War (G1)|war]] on Cybertron, Runamuck was part of a Decepticon assault alongside [[Chop Shop (G1)|Chop Shop]], [[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]], [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], [[Octane]], [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]], [[Venom (G1)|Venom]], and the Autobot double agent [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]]. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 1|Secrets & Lies #1}}

{{voiceactor|[[Roger Behr]] (English), [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japanese)|[[Carlos Marques]] (Portuguese, "Chaos"), [[Isaac Schneider]] (Portuguese, "Ghost in the Machine")}}
[[File:Chaos RunamuckonBlastOff.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Heh heh. FIRE. FIRE!]]
Runamuck first appeared attacking [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and some other Autobots investigating a decimated [[Earth Defense Command]] station that had crashed on [[Goo Number 8739-B|Goo]]. Riding [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]], Runamuck strafed the Autobots with a [[death crystal]] shooter. (The station had been destroyed by death crystals, so it's possible that was Runamuck's work as well.) The Autobots engaged the duo in a short space battle that ended when Runamuck blew up a comet with the death crystals, delaying the Autobots long enough to get away. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[File:GhostMachine RunaboutVsRunamuck.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|OW! AHH!! Cut it out, fartknocker!]]
He was next seen guarding [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s city mode on [[Chaar]] with Runabout. They were attacked by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], who wanted to steal one of Trypticon's eyes for Unicron. Starscream possessed Runabout, shot Runamuck, then ran into a wall, knocking Runabout unconscious. Runamuck, however, was able to sound an alarm, and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] arrived to help. Scourge got Trypticon's eye, and Starscream possessed Astrotrain and escaped. Later, under Unicron's orders, Starscream returned to Chaar and took control of Trypticon, not knowing that Dirge, Thrust, and the Battlechargers were inside. Starscream used Trypticon to bring Unicron's head down Cybertron's surface, but Thrust sabotaged Trypticon from within before Starscream could connect Unicron to the planet. Starscream came out of Trypticon and demanded that Unicron give him a corporeal form so he could complete the connections. Just as Unicron did so, Autobot-planted explosives detonated and sent Unicron's head back into orbit. Starscream was also flung into outer space, where [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] began pursuing him. Trypticon (and the Decepticons inside him) were probably thrown into space as well. Although the Battlechargers were not seen again, Trypticon and the others were, so they most likely did survive. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

====''Legends'' comic====
Runabout and Runamuck were among the Decepticons who attacked the [[Ark (G1)|Autobot base]] in the 1980s to steal the [[Transform Super Cog]]. Using their car modes, the duo barreled through the Autobot defenders, entered the base and seized the cog only to be defeated by [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist (G1)|Twin Twist]]. {{storylink|Slugslinger's Ambition}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
[[File:ComingStorm1-Battlechargers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|The lads discuss Winger.]]
Runabout and Runamuck were present during the battle that led to the destruction of [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}} At some other time, the pair were hanging out with the equally-delinquent pair of [[Jetstorm (G2)|Jetstorm]] and [[Deluge (G2)|Deluge]] when a [[Nexus Prime|giant Autobot]] and his [[Aquarius (SG)|Quintesson cohort]] wandered into their territory. While Jetstorm and Deluge jumped the Autobot, Runabout and Runamuck tortured the Quintesson. But as Runamuck was pressing his foot down on the Quintesson's head, he surprised to learn just how strong his would-be victim's tentacles were. A short moment later, all four Decepticons were defeated, left brutally embarrassed. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

At some point between various upgrades, the quick-transformation feature from Runamuck's frame was abandoned in order to boost his armament and resistance to harm. Both Battlechargers were also offered a flight mode but turned it down. Runamuck often forgot this final detail, and would jump off of buildings and cliffs in an effort to take to the air. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 43|Runamuck's profile in Club magazine #43}}

After having been absent from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for a very long time, [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] made a secret return. He enlisted Runabout and Runamuck in filling him in on what he had missed, and the pair gave him a very amusing, yet sufficiently informative, recollection of the events of the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and [[The Rebirth|Cybertron's first contact with Nebulos]]. The information convinced Jhiaxus that this would be the perfect time to rebuild his [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward}}

The two Battlechargers were dispatched to find some [[personality component]]s, and in the process discovered a [[stasis hibernation pod]] which opened to reveal [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 2}} They took the amnesiac Side Burn him back to Jhiaxus, after which they all headed to [[Nebulos]], where Jhiaxus had Runamuck and Runabout kidnap [[Hi-Q]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 3}} After they arrived on [[Qre]], the pair engaged in some racing with Side Burn. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 4}} When Side Burn's advances were rebuffed by [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]], Runamuck suggested giving her some space, but Side Burn followed Runabout's advice to follow her instead. The Battlechargers trailed behind him. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 5}} Following Jhiaxus's defeat, Side Burn promised the pair leniency, and indeed after the pair returned to Earth with the Autobots, Hi-Q said he wouldn't press charges. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

====''Generations Selects Special Comic''====

In 2011, Runamuck was one of the Decepticons fighting against the resurrection of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 2|Finale Part 2}}

In 2050, the allied Autobots and Decepticons opposed the Dinobots on behalf of the [[Selector]]s. Runamuck rode his old friend Blast Off as the army charged into battle. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}

===Battle Beneath the Ice===
One day, the Battlecharger duo was sent to destroy the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] in [[San Francisco]], but Runamuck's fear of heights prevented him from even driving onto it. Runabout was taken out of by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]], who soon came bearing down on Runamuck. The battle was televised on the news and recorded by [[Jeff Grey]], who later discussed it with Hot Rod during a chance meeting. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Predaconstww.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Aaa, [[Starscream (G1)|this guy]] sucks! Change the channel, Runabout!]]
After the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], Runamuck participated in the destruction of [[Altihex]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] got caught up in their first battle, the Battlechargers joined [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] in disabling [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and helping [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] assume control over Megatron's plans. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} Runamuck continued to follow Starscream when, roughly a million years later, Megatron was lost in a [[space bridge]] accident and the Decepticons split into several factions. Runamuck and Runabout joined up with Starscream's new group of [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]]. They remained defiant even when the other Decepticon factions were prepared to sign a peace treaty with the Autobots and staged an attack on the ceremony at [[Tyger Pax]]. They were repulsed. Violently. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} But then, Megatron returned to Cybertron, backed by an [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] army. With these drones, he quickly took over the planet and unified the Decepticon forces. With Cybertron now under Decepticon control, Runamuck was put to work as one of the guards in [[Internment Camp Pi]], overlooking the slave Autobot workforce. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

In the modern era, Runamuck and Runabout were serving [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] "under the table" as assassins. When the [[Triple Changer]] [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] removed Optimus Prime from his cell, the Battlechargers followed them into the [[Old Slave Trails]] and made an attempt on Prime's life. Sandstorm was killed, but Runamuck was captured and held prisoner by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s resistance movement. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} He apparently broke free and joined back up with Runabout after the Autobots resumed control of Cybertron. The two of them were scrounging around for fresh energon and a hideout to avoid Autobot patrols when they stumbled upon one of Shockwave's hidden bases. While Runamuck amused himself by lighting [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] on fire, Runabout accidentally activated one of Shockwave's cloning experiments, [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], whose massive energon radiation overloaded the Battlechargers' circuitry, frying them reeeaaal good. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] later watched footage of this incident while trying to unravel Shockwave's schemes. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}}

When last seen, Runamuck and Runabout had been found by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] was tending to their damaged bodies as they were taken into custody. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

{{first|[[Infiltration issue 0|''Infiltration'' #0]]}}
[[File:Megs Origins Battlechargers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5| "Heh-heh... he said 'Kaaa-on'!"]]
Runamuck was one of many bots to come from distant regions of Cybertron to attend [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s speeches and demonstrations of power as the Decepticon faction begun to take shape. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} When Megatron gave the order to burn [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] to the ground after having done away with the [[Senate]], Runamuck was the first to leap forward in order to carry out his leader's orders. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} Early in the war, Runamuck was present as [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] was accepted into the ranks of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Drift issue 2|Drift #2}}

Following the fall of [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]]'s government, he was among the Decepticons who hunted down and arrested Autobots resisting [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s rule. {{storylink|Transformation (issue)|Transformation}} When the captured Autobots staged a prison break, Runamuck, Runabout and [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] tried and failed to stop them. {{storylink|Rise}} The Battlechargers were later present in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] announced he was the new leader of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}}

At some point in time, Runamuck fought against the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] alongside [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ravage]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] and were thoroughly trounced for their efforts. {{storylink|Spotlight: Grimlock}}

[[File:Infiltration1-gimme.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|Headliners! At last!]]
Four million years later, Runamuck was part of the Decepticon insurgent cell that had operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, working to destabilise Earth's governing organisations and create global anarchy. He, Runabout and [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]] were assigned by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to intercept the human [[Stoker]] and retrieve his [[SM-40]] palmtop PC, containing data on their [[Nebraska]] operation. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 0|Infiltration #0}} The team caught up with and killed Stoker outside Phoenix, AZ, by which time [[Verity Carlo]] had already stolen the SM-40. Their attempts to retrieve it from Verity and [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] disregarded their cover: they appeared in full public view both in primary mode {{storylink|Infiltration issue 1|Infiltration #1}} and in a secondary [[alternate mode]], where the panels of their sports-car disguises split apart to reveal weapons and ram-plates. While pursuing Ratchet, both Battlechargers were run off the road by a semi-trailer. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 2|Infiltration #2}}

Runamuck bore witness to Megatron's disciplinary actions towards Starscream and sided with Megatron after Starscream's botched rebellion. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 6|Infiltration #6}} Despite his part in Starscream's mutiny, Runamuck was quickly forgiven and returned to active duty. {{storylink|Escalation issue 1|Escalation #1}} {{storylink|Escalation issue 2|Escalation #2}}

Runamuck moved to [[Latveria]] with the rest of the Decepticons to spark a war between the nations of Latveria and [[Symkaria]] using the [[Psycho-Prism]]. He was the first of Megatron's warriors to be turbocharged by [[Spider-Man]]'s radioactive blood, and subsequently attacked the allied Autobots and [[Avengers]] in [[mirror response mode]] with the rest of his teammates. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} Runamuck was taken out of the fight in short order, after he was blasted by the newly arrived [[Iron Man]] and sliced up by [[Wolverine (Marvel)|Wolverine]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}} The badly-damaged Runamuck subsequently fled via an [[emergency warp-out]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

[[File:ReapercrushesBattlecharger.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|"I somehow expected the last thing I ever see to be a more pleasing sight..."]]
Runamuck was cowering in a nearby room while Megatron and [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] were arguing in the Decepticon's base on Earth. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}} Unfortunately, Runamuck was brutally off-lined when the [[Reaper]]s attacked the Decepticon command bunker in Oregon. Upset after Runabout was electrocuted until he exploded, Runamuck was soon decapitated and then had his errant head crushed by a large boulder. Their fellow Decepticons cared little for the Battlechargers' demise; [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] wrote them off as "acceptable losses." {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}} {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}

When Runamuck refused to surrender the captive [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s location, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] tore off his arm and promised that his head would be next. Runamuck became more cooperative. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

After the Senate Guardsmen were taken care of by [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]'s [[Mini-Cassette|infiltration troopers]], [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] ordered Runamuck and Runabout to watch over them. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}}

Runamuck and Runabout went to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] came across [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and question his allegiance, when he admitted he doesn't know anything about the Decepticon faction.

Runabout and Runamuck assembled with Strika's army of Decepticons to invade the Autobot-occupied [[Crystal City]]. The siege went well at first until the unexpected return of [[Lodestar (Titan)|Lodestar]], the last Titan. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}} Fearing the Titan's power, much of the Decepticon army except for the very brave or foolhardy fled from Lodestar. {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}}

Runamuck was present when Megatron and the Decepticons confronted the Autobots with an [[imploder]] on their way to [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]. As the battle moved to that last city, the Decepticons drove the Autobots off of Cybertron in their ''Ark''. Runamuck helped take several Autobot prisoners into custody in the aftermath. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

After Cybertron fell, the Decepticons closely followed the Autobots through space, in pursuit of the [[AllSpark]]. Runamuck was a [[Cybertronian military insignia|Ground Force Black Ops Raider]], {{storylink|#Generations|''Earthrise'' toy packaging}} whose function was a shock trooper. His primary objective was causing chaos and destruction, and his primary weapon was the [[Friction rifle]]. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/earthrise ''Earthrise'' website]</ref> While on a mission to infiltrate the Autobot ship, the ''[[Ark (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material|Ark]]'', Runamuck and his brother Runabout were separated.

He could only speak in half sentences without Runabout to finish them for him. {{Storylink|Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday}}<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkJOmYkcMtY October 16th Fan First Friday]</ref>

:One of the two [[Battlecharger]] toys released in 1986, Runamuck transforms into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Pontiac Firebird Trans Am|Pontiac Firebird Trans Am]] sports car. An [[Autotransformation|autotransformer]], he uses a pull-back motor to propel him forward in both car and [[robot mode]]s, though starting in car mode triggers his transformation to robot after he rolls forward a short distance. Due to the autotransformation engineering, Runamuck is entirely a [[brick (term)|brick]], featuring no articulation whatsoever, or even arms. As such, his weapon can only be plugged into what is presented as his shoulder.

:Though this mold is ''very'' similar to fellow Battlecharger [[Runabout (G1)#Toys|Runabout]], it is highly unlikely one is actually a [[retool]] of the other since they had simultaneous production.

:For reasons unknown, the Battlechargers were not released in the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Transformers'' toyline, rare for a Takara-engineered toy at the time.

He can also assume a third "flying car" mode by folding down the car doors and flipping out wing extensions. His pistol can be hand-held, or become a shoulder-mounted gun through the use of the [[c joint]] clip on its back. His two side-pipes can attach to the c joint bars on his upper body as well to form shoulder-mounted cannons, or be held in his hands by the barrels as wrenches.

:Runamuck is the [[2012]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] free figure, mailed to new or returning club members who got their registration in before [[March 16]], 2012. This date, however, was extended to [[March 21]], 2012 due to the setup of their new payment system.

He sports [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ratchet]]'s helmet.

:Unlike prior Micro-Changer assortments, this series does not have any sort identification code for the bags' actual contents, meaning you'd best be good at the feel-through-the-bag method.

:This assortment was originally slated to be a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], but US stores dropped the line before its release. It was still available in Canada, Australia and Chinese/Asian markets.

:Part of the third and final wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Runamuck transforms into an 80's sportscar somewhat reminiscent of a Lotus Esprit X180 in 16 steps. Like most ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys, Runamuck is [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] compatible with multiple 3 mm posts for use with "[[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]]s" and [[5 mm post|5 mm]] holes to mount accessories. In order to be accurate to the original toy, there are 5 mm holes at the top of each shoulder to mount his gun, as well as faux wheels at the back of his feet, albeit unpainted. To achieve a proportional chest with the rest of his body, his robot mode chest uses a faux car roof.

:Replicating a switcheroo from the Battlechargers' original character models, Runamuck's gun is based on Runabout's "high-energy particle beam rifle" (although the TakaraTomy stock photography seen at right instead shows a blaster based on Runamuck's own "[[friction rifle]]"). In practice, that friction rifle accessory ''is'' actually supplied with ''Earthrise'' [[Runabout (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Runabout]], albeit almost entirely painted Runabout-red.

:In [[Fan polls#War for Cybertron Trilogy 2|a 2019 fan poll]], Runamuck (with the accompanying image misspelled as '''Runamok'''<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/2727924640611046 The four bots are #GNAW, #RUNAMUCK, #NEEDLENOSE & #SHRAPNEL]</ref>) received more votes than [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], or [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]], and thus the Battlecharger received a figure in this toyline.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/2819867618083414 The fans have spoken and #RUNAMUCK will become a Fall 2020 War for Cybertron figure!]</ref>

*In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Runamuck's car mode had a dark grey exterior. However, Runamuck's robot mode is represented by... another Runabout!
*Runamuck's original character model gives him Runabout's weapon (and ''vice versa''), which would later influence the Battlechargers' ''Earthrise'' toys ([[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|see above]]).
*In the Marvel Comics continuity, Runamuck is introduced as having a recurring verbal tic, wherein he would always punctuate (and sometimes begin) his brief sentences with a stuttering "heh heh". This led to him (and by extension Runabout) in the early-to-mid 90s being equalled to the then newly popular MTV show ''Beavis & Butt-head'', a show featuring two delinquent teenage boys known for their crass humor, uneducated minds and propensity for vandalism and destruction, all while making seemingly uncontrollable and uncalled for stuttering laughter.

|title=''Transformers: Earth Wars''

|date=[[June 2]], [[2016]]
|platform=Android, iOS
}}

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage

*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look. It is unknown if this applies to other bots, and if the G1 core matters. (Further research needed)
*As of the most recent update, Overlord and Omega Supreme have lost their animations.
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage

*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look. It is unknown if this applies to other bots, and if the G1 core matters. (Further research needed)
*As of the most recent update, Overlord has lost his animations.
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.

*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.

*'''Scanner''' - Provides locations of rivals' bases so you can raid them. Upgrading it will give access to tougher battle zones.
*'''Power Core Lab''' -

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look. It is unknown if this applies to other bots, and if the G1 core matters. (Further research needed)
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.
*'''Forcefield MK. I, II, and III''' Provides a forcefield that blocks 45% to 75% of damage taken and makes them immune to knockbacks for 6 seconds.
*'''Smart Bomb MK. I, II, and III''' Deals a set amount of damage to a single target.
*'''EMP blast MK. I, II, and III''' Stun all targets in a large radius for a set amount of time depending on the level.
*'''Field Repairs MK. I, II, and III''' Heal all friendly bots for a set amount of HP over 5 seconds.
*'''Shark Attack MK I, II, and III''' Call for 3 vicious 2-star Sharkticons (level 14, 30, and 40, respectively) to attack a target. '''Warning''': Fallen Sharkticons are ''highly'' explosive.
*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.
** The rare Blue Kremzeek can stun defenses over a brief period of time.
** The White Kremzeek makes the target building take more damage.

===Defense===
*'''[[Autogun|Auto Cannon]]''' - Provides a decent amount of damage and has medium range. Cannot target flying units.
*'''Laser Turret''' - Shoots off 4 smaller lasers that deal constant damage at shorter range, but deals double damage to flying units!
*'''Mortar''' - Long range defense that targets ground units and deals explosive damage from far away.
*'''Outpost''' - Assign an Autobot or Decepticon with a fraction of their normal stats to defend against attacks on your base.
*'''Beam Laser''' - Shoots off a long range Photon laser to deal the Highest DPS on a single ground unit.

*'''Missile Launcher''' - Shoots off a barrage of rockets over a very long range at both ground and air units. Cannot target troops within its blind spot.
*'''Stasis Mine''' - Doesn't deal damage, but freezes enemies in place for 2–5 seconds.
*'''Wall''' - Used to shield defenses and slow down invaders. Upgrading each wall post gives it more health to better defend against opponent bots.

*'''Combiner Outpost''' - Originally unavailable to players and only seen in the Combiner Wars Campaign, this very long-ranged outpost activates a Combiner to defend against other Combiners!

===Utility===

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look. It is unknown if this applies to other bots, and if the G1 core matters. (Further research needed)
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.

*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.
** The rare Blue Kremzeek can stun defenses over a brief period of time.
** The White Kremzeek makes the target building take more damage.

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look. It is unknown if this applies to other bots, and if the G1 core matters. (Further research needed)
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.
*'''Forcefield MK. I, II, and III''' Provides a forcefield that blocks 45% to 75% of damage taken and makes them immune to knockbacks for 6 seconds.

*'''EMP blast MK. I, II, and III''' Stun all targets in a large radius for a set amount of time depending on the level.
*'''Field Repairs MK. I, II, and III''' Heal all friendly bots for a set amount of HP over 5 seconds.
*'''Shark Attack MK I, II, and III''' Call for 3 vicious 2-star Sharkticons (level 14, 30, and 40, respectively) to attack a target. '''Warning''': Fallen Sharkticons are ''highly'' explosive.
*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.
** The rare Blue Kremzeek can stun defenses over a brief period of time.
** The White Kremzeek makes the target building take more damage.

==Buildings==
===Main===
*'''Headquarters''' - The heart of your Autobot/Decepticon outpost, protect yours well, and destroy an opponent's Headquarters to win a battle! Upgrade it to unlock more upgrades and buildings!
*'''Shuttle''' - The shuttle carries Autobots and Decepticons into battle! Upgrade with Energon to increase maximum capacity.

===Defense===
*'''[[Autogun|Auto Cannon]]''' - Provides a decent amount of damage and has medium range. Cannot target flying units.
*'''Laser Turret''' - Shoots off 4 smaller lasers that deal constant damage at shorter range, but deals double damage to flying units!
*'''Mortar''' - Long range defense that targets ground units and deals explosive damage from far away.
*'''Outpost''' - Assign an Autobot or Decepticon with a fraction of their normal stats to defend against attacks on your base.
*'''Beam Laser''' - Shoots off a long range Photon laser to deal the Highest DPS on a single ground unit.
*'''Shock Tower''' - Delivers a nasty jolt of electricity to nearby bots and knocks them back, and is immune to EMP effects! (Except for [[Star Saber (G1)|shock]][[Deathsaurus (G1)|fire]])
*'''Missile Launcher''' - Shoots off a barrage of rockets over a very long range at both ground and air units. Cannot target troops within its blind spot.
*'''Stasis Mine''' - Doesn't deal damage, but freezes enemies in place for 2–5 seconds.
*'''Wall''' - Used to shield defenses and slow down invaders. Upgrading each wall post gives it more health to better defend against opponent bots.

*'''Combiner Outpost''' - Originally unavailable to players and only seen in the Combiner Wars Campaign, this very long-ranged outpost activates a Combiner to defend against other Combiners!

===Utility===
*'''Energon Harvester''' - Harvests precious Energon for research and upgrading buildings. Upgrade with Alloy to increase production rate.
*'''Energon Storage''' - Stores Energon for later usage. Upgrade with Alloy to increase maximum storage capacity.
*'''Alloy Harvester''' - Harvests Alloy to upgrade buildings. Upgrade with Energon to increase production rate.
*'''Alloy Storage''' - Stores Alloy for later usage. Upgrade with Energon to increase maximum storage capacity.
*'''Ore-13 Harvester''' - Harvests the rare mineral [[Ore-13]] for sending out Combiners to battle.
*'''Ore-13 Storage''' - A storage device strong enough to contain the power of Ore-13.
*'''[[Space bridge]]''' - The Space bridge is used to activate [[Quantum Crystal]]s to bring in bots and resources!
*'''Research Lab''' - Upgrade your bots and their abilities with Energon and Spark to make them more powerful! Upgrade the lab to increase the max level that bots can be upgraded to.
*'''Combiner Lab''' - Used to activate Combiners and upgrade their abilities using combiner Spark.
*'''Build Bot''' - Build Bots will build and upgrade buildings, but the bots themselves cannot be upgraded and have very low health. The number of buildings that can be upgraded at a time depends on the number of Build Bots on base. More Build Bots can be bought at 2000 [[Cybercoin]]s or 5000 [[Shanix]] each.
*'''Scanner''' - Provides locations of rivals' bases so you can raid them. Upgrading it will give access to tougher battle zones.
*'''Power Core Lab''' -

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look. (Further research needed)
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.

*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.
** The rare Blue Kremzeek can stun defenses over a brief period of time.
** The White Kremzeek makes the target building take more damage.

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
*Mixmaster, when equipped with his G1 Core, will sometimes adopt a Transmetal texture in bot form. In ''Alternate Form'', however, he'll switch back to the regular G1 look.
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

Teletraan006: Added newly introduced characters from the Prime universe.~~~

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Aligned continuity family|Prime]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.

*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.
** The rare Blue Kremzeek can stun defenses over a brief period of time.
** The White Kremzeek makes the target building take more damage.

===Defense===
*'''[[Autogun|Auto Cannon]]''' - Provides a decent amount of damage and has medium range. Cannot target flying units.
*'''Laser Turret''' - Shoots off 4 smaller lasers that deal constant damage at shorter range, but deals double damage to flying units!
*'''Mortar''' - Long range defense that targets ground units and deals explosive damage from far away.
*'''Outpost''' - Assign an Autobot or Decepticon with a fraction of their normal stats to defend against attacks on your base.
*'''Beam Laser''' - Shoots off a long range Photon laser to deal the Highest DPS on a single ground unit.

*'''Scanner''' - Provides locations of rivals' bases so you can raid them. Upgrading it will give access to tougher battle zones.
*'''Power Core Lab''' -

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', and ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.

The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], though characters from the [[Beast Era]], [[Unicron Trilogy]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] and [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] also appear.

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jetfire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some weird pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.
*'''Return to Cybertron'''
A power play involving Starscream, Straxus, and Rodimus Unicronus results in the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up to assault Cybertron-based fortresses with overpowered defenses.
*'''War For Cybertron'''
Flashbacks introduce the Omega Supreme and Overlord combiners, along with the War for Cybertron cosmetic skin cores.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and buildings, that can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates. Unused cores can be "fused" to active ones, increasing the effectiveness of the latter, but annihilating the former.

Building Cores

*Universal Building Cores:
**'''Attack''': Increases attack.
**'''Defense''': Increases initial building health.
**'''Repair''': Restores building health periodically after receiving damage.

*Auto Cannon Cores:
**'''Explosive Shells''': Deals a reduced amount of damage to all targets in a small area, and eliminates knockback.

*Mortar Cores:
**'''Incendiary''': Fiery explosions deal increased damage over 6 seconds, and eliminate knockback.
**'''Target Protocol''': Prioritizes gunners and medics, while increasing range and decreasing damage.

*Missile Launcher cores:
**'''Guided Missiles''': Laser-guided single target missiles, dealing a reduced amount of damage.

*Laser Turret Cores:
**'''Anti-Air Laser''': Increases range and damage, but restricts weapon to attack only airborne targets.

*HQ Cores:
**'''Adaptive Shielding''': Partial protection from Combiner damage and Special Ability damage.
**'''Omni-Flamer''': Torches all nearby enemies.
**'''Point Defense Beam''': Deals damage to a single nearby target. Can target airborne attackers, and prioritizes gunners.

Bot Cores

*Universal Bot Cores:
**'''Attack''': Boosts damage of regular attacks.
**'''Vitality''': Increases bot's health.
**'''Rejuvenate''': Heals bot every 5 seconds.
**'''Tactician''': The bot prioritizes defenses for a period immediately after deployment.
**'''Wallbuster''': Damage to walls increased.

*Warrior Bot Cores
**'''Trithyllium Plating''': Partial protection from Auto Cannons.
**'''Death Pulse''': On 0 health, the warrior creates an EMP explosion, stunning targets in a large area.

*Air Bot Cores:
**'''Reflective Coating''': Partial protection from Laser Turrets and Beam Lasers.
**'''Enhanced Ordnance''': Increases special ability damage.

*Gunner Cores:
**'''Flak Jacket''': Partial protection from Mortars and Missile Launchers.
**'''Volatile Mixture''': Increases special ability damage.

*Medic Cores:
**'''Ray Boosters''': Increases power of healing done.

*Bot Specific Cores:
Certain bots have bot-specific cores that can only be equipped to one particular bot. Their effects are unique, and they also modify the visual appearance of the bot on which they're equipped - for instance, Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime each have "Matrix" cores, which cause the Matrix to appear on their chests.

*G1 Cores:
A successor to the Bot Specific Cores are the G1 cores. Again, these can be equipped to specific bots, and modify the visual appearance of the bots. But in the case of the G1 cores, the visual modification takes the form of a thicker black outline around the edges of each bot, approximating the appearance of the classic animated series.

*Prime Cores:
12 unique cores (each corresponding to one of the ancient [[Thirteen|Primes]]) that provide particularly potent abilities, and in some cases alter the physical appearance of each bot. Prime cores are not obtainable from bot duplicates or standard core chips, and can be obtained only through the collection of 5,000 Prime Core shards (typically special rewards from weekend events).

*Limited Time Cores:
Temporary cores that provide an XP boost for a specific period after being equipped. One the period is completed, they are automatically destroyed.

*Squad cores
Faction- and class-specific cores that confer two buffs - one to the bot on whom it is equipped, and another on any bots of the same class in the same squad.

===Resources===
*'''Alloy'''- A metal substance used to upgrade buildings and walls.
*'''[[Energon]]'''- Energon is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade Bots' special abilities, and to perform research on Bots to make them stronger.
*'''[[Ore-13]]'''- A potent substance used to activate Combiners.
*'''[[Spark]]'''- Obtained from holographic summons in the Space bridge and Event rewards, Spark is used to upgrade Bots' abilities. Special Spark can be received from Combiner team bots.
*'''Crystal Shards'''- Also the result of Holographic summons and events, shards are used to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
*'''[[Cybercoin]]'''- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and [[Quantum Crystal|crystals.]]
*'''Combiner Spark''' - This type of spark is used only for combiners. Obtained when you get a duplicate of a Combiner Bot.

===Battle Boosts===
Battle Boosts are like Spells in Clash of Clans. They can only be used once in a battle, but provide extra offense or defense for your team.
*'''Incendiary Barrage MK. 1, II, and III''' Rain down an artillery battery of Incendiary shells on the battlefield dealing medium damage
*'''Orbital Strike MK. I, II, and III''' summon a powerful Orbital Strike from above dealing massive damage.

*'''Nanofrost MK. I, II, and III''' Freeze a building for 8–12 seconds, then destroy it to freeze and slow down all buildings around the Bomb radius by 40% for 10 seconds.
*'''[[Kremzeek]]''' Coming in 5 variants, Kremzeeks can do quite a lot of things.
**Red Kremzeeks set buildings on fire dealing 128 damage per second for 6 seconds, increasing every second if you destroy the building they are currently deployed on.
**Yellow Kremzeeks deal 96 damage over 15 seconds. Can jump to other buildings up to 4 times.
**Purple Kremzeeks hack defenses and make them attack other defenses for you, albeit with less damage.
** The rare Blue Kremzeek can stun defenses over a brief period of time.
** The White Kremzeek makes the target building take more damage.

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'',''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'', and ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Unite Warriors]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, 'original' ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)]]'' and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], and a bit of ''[[Masterpiece]]'' in the mix.
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based on these [[IP theft|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based on TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
**Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
**On the bot side, Defensor is an interesting case, as rather than reuse the limb-mode rigs of Vortex, Ironhide and Brakeneck, Blades, First Aid and Streetwise use brand new frames for their limb modes. Don't even mention that Rook is combined upside down. The head, thighs and parts of the shoulders are the only bits of Hot Spot with any resemblane to the ''Combiner Wars'' toy, as everything else is based on the C+ Customs add-on kit for Defensor instead of retooling from Victorion (though the backpack kibble is shrunken down).
**Abominus: Torso: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Legs: ''Power of the Primes''. Arms: ''Power of the Primes''/''Unique Toys''. Thighs: ''Unique Toys''. Head: ''Unique Toys''. Hands and feet: ''Unique Toys''. Gun: ''Unique Toys'' (shared with Defensor). Whew!
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).
* [[FIRRIB|Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red.]]
* As it turns out, Tracks' bot mode is based on his Masterpiece toy, but his alt-mode is entirely based on his Universe toy.
*Sky-Lynx is classified as a Triple-Changer now, this also marks the first time in a while that his dual mode Tiger and Dragon modes have been used.
* While the soundtrack is normally unique music made for the game itself, by default, you also have the choice of a Generation 1 soundtrack, using original [[Johnny Douglas]] tracks from the 1984 cartoon.
* Up until Defensor's debut, Superion was the only original ''G1'' combiner for the Autobots.
* How do you know a combiner is coming? If all the bots of a known combiner group are available.
* Soundwave's H.I.S.S. tank model is the first instance of the character having a vehicle mode in the game. It draws from the [[HISS tank#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Soundwave-themed HISS redeco]].
* Hound's VAMP model draws inspiration from his ''Universe'' toy and from the Hound-themed [[VAMP]] redeco.
* Jetfire's Skystriker model draws inspiration from the Jetfire-themed [[Skystriker]] redeco. Skywarp, however, is the nutball in the group.
* Swoop was known as Strafe before the Technobot of the same name was added to the game.
* Making for a nice easter egg, transforming Blaster in the character viewer will result in him playing [[The Touch]]. This also applies to Soundwave.
* One of, if not both of the Autobot Drift's swords translates into "revenge". Strangely enough, the symbols are in the ''Decepticon'' variant, and not Autobot.
===Errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error|distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters collision hitboxes will sometimes get caught on each other or on wall hitboxes and they will stay stuck in place for a good while. The bug where they get stuck on the Wall hitboxes can be fixed by letting the character walk in place, and let them get uncaught or destroy the wall. The bug where they get stuck in the collision hitboxes of each other can be fixed by activating the bot's ability. This most commonly happens with Medics and Gunners, and especially if you deploy your units in an extremely short fashion.
*Sometimes, when viewing your bots, after the bot transforms into their alternate mode, they won't transform into their robot mode, and remain [[Transformation paralysis|stuck in alternate mode.]] This is fixed by restarting the game.
*There are so many issues with the hands, especially characters with aerial capabilities or alt modes, especially the helicopters. When they transform, more often then not, their hands slide into their arms and then randomly reappear in alt mode. This usually applies to jets, but Laser (G2) Optimus Prime has his hands visible in vehicle mode.
*Brainstorm's character model duplicates his shield kibble on his arm and on his back and his arm cannon just disappears when he transforms.
*After the update that gave Blaster and Soundwave altmodes,this came at a price. Both of their character models in robot mode have extremely distorted upper arms that just levitate next to their lower arms.
*The Breastforce cannot activate their Breast Partner in the traditional way (gun, handgun, and animal) with Guyhawk being the exception. Either they are used as decoration, or don't appear at all.
**Other gimmicks that certain Transformers or Special Teams may have usually don't make it into the game.
*Most bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved within a given time, and Patch notes detailing what is currently being fixed are always released to the public.

Ore-13

2022-06-29T11:22:59Z

Teletraan006: Fixed a flaw within the Earth Wars section, amount of Ore-13 needed to be updated.

[[File:Stormbringer1 ultra energon.jpg|thumb|250px|"These Rubik's Cubes just keep getting more and more difficult."]]
'''Ore-13''' is the last of a series of artificially-created [[energon]]-derived ores seeded throughout the galaxy by [[Decepticon]] scientist [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] as part of his [[Regenesis]] project. Taking root on the planet [[Earth]], Ore-13 boosts the power of [[Transformer]]s to extreme levels, leading those who later discovered it to term it "'''Ultra-Energon'''"; Shockwave favored the more prosaic name of "Power Itself" when christening the various ores after their different effects. It is not without drawbacks, however: while it will grant a user massively enhanced strength and durability, the more its power is drawn upon, the faster it burns out, leaving a user at risk of sudden de-powering in mid-combat.

{{quote|[It's] baseline energon, but with a twist. When applied directly to the systems of a Transformer via a modified delivery capsule, it grants that Transformer a phenomenal boost in overall capability.|[[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]]}}

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
In his youth as [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s student, Shockwave spent a significant amount of time working on his pet project: a means to combat the increasing lack of resources that threatened Cybertron. As a [[Senate|Senator]], Shockwave developed the idea of seeding distant worlds with energon, but this idea would not come to pass until the era of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], after Shockwave's mind had been forcibly altered by [[shadowplay]]. {{storylink|Shockwaves}}

As the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] raged, Shockwave extrapolated that the war would eventually devolve into a struggle over resources. 600,000 years ago, he turned his original plans to synthesize resources into the [[Regenesis]] project, which seeded thirteen worlds with a potent distillation of standard energon. The seedings were designed to initiate a chain reaction which would produce Energon ore in plentiful supply, giving him the balance of power when the Energon shortages he had foreseen became inevitable. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}} Unbeknownst to anyone but himself, Shockwave had not chosen Earth at random — Shockwave had selected the world because he correctly believed that it had become the resting place for [[Nexus Prime]]'s [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Shockwaves}}

A hundred thousand years later, Shockwave abandoned the Decepticons to investigate the progress of his ores, where the "Ore-13" had reacted with the local geology, threatening to become so overwhelmingly rich in Energon that the environment would become anathema to Cybertronians. Shockwave arrived over Earth ten thousand years ago, at the end of the last [[Ice Age]], to continue the plan by stabilizing the ore before it destroyed the planet. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}} The [[Maximal]] starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' had simultaneously detected samples of his energon and made a diversion to Earth to refuel. Shockwave shot down the ship and used its crew in a [[Ice Age Wars|cruel experiment]] before returning to his business. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

Shockwave created global dampers that he then injected into the planetary crust to regulate the reaction, allowing the ore to safely develop into Ultra-Energon. Before he could finish the stabilization process, he was ambushed by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] and left buried by a failsafe [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] had arranged, that triggered a volcanic eruption in what would be later [[Nevada]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}}

When Shockwave's absence was discovered by [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], he assigned [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] to investigate Shockwave's plans, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to spy on Bludgeon in turn. While Bludgeon discovered the full extent of Shockwave's plans he fed little of it back to Megatron—and Soundwave did likewise. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}}

[[File:Infiltration6 starscream on ultraenergon.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

Around ten thousand years later,<ref>[[Maximum Dinobots issue 5|''Maximum Dinobots'' #5]]: [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] to [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] - "Ten thousand, three hundred and ninety-six years, two months and three days."</ref> [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was devastated by [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and left uninhabitable. {{storylink|The Transformers: Stormbringer |Stormbringer}} Some time later, however, Bludgeon and his team returned to the planet in secret to begin work on restoring Thunderwing, and in preparation for creating their own [[Pretender|bio-grafted exo-shells]]. To do this, they needed power, and so they proceeded to Earth in the early [[1980]]s to mine "Ultra-Energon". {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}} Eventually, Bludgeon's unit succeeded in restoring Thunderwing with the Ultra-Energon. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2}} Soon, the drawback of the powerful substance became clear: The infused Transformer was rendered far more powerful than ever, ''but'' the Ultra-Energon burned itself out far faster than normal energon, and the more power the Transformer drew on, the faster his super-powered "high" burnt away. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

Circa 2006, [[Skywatch]] would experiment with the substance inside a [[Project Hot House|classified research bunker]] that had been retrofitted from Bludgeon's abandoned base. By using supplies of the material in conjunction with the alien artifact code-named "[[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]]", [[Joe Colton]] and [[Merklynn|Garrison Kreiger]] were—after tricking [[Sgt. Savage]] into unwittingly activating the device—able to refine the volatile energies of the Talisman into a corrosive anti-Cybertronian weapon. {{storylink|When Eagles Scream}}

In the meantime, the presence of Ultra-Energon had been independently discovered back on Earth by a Decepticon infiltration team led by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]. It was dubbed Ore-13. After exhausting a vein of the ore beneath the original command bunker in [[Nebraska]], Starscream built a second command bunker over a richer vein in [[Oregon]]. Although it was not enough to give Starscream any appreciable edge over Megatron, both Decepticons and [[Autobot]]s believed Ore-13 could drastically tip the balance of their entire interstellar conflict. {{storylink|The Transformers: Infiltration|Infiltration}}

After [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s arrival on Earth, he battled the Ore-13-enhanced Megatron and was nearly deactivated, surviving only by downloading his consciousness into his [[trailer]] section. However, realizing that Ore-13 was Ultra-Energon, he communicated its weakness to the other Autobots, who successfully ran Megatron down until Prime could return to his body to deliver a ''coup de grâce'' just as the Ultra-Energon high faded away. Retrieved by [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]], Megatron proceeded to purge his systems completely of the Ultra-Energon in a [[CR chamber]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: Escalation|Escalation}}

The forces of the [[Dead Universe]] specifically protected Earth from the [[Reaper]]s {{storylink|The Transformers: Devastation|Devastation}} due to its Ultra-Energon; their grand scheme was reliant on vast amounts of the energy, in which Earth was now rich. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}

A few years later, Shockwave used Ultra-Energon to build a new body for Megatron. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine|Enemy Mine}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers3 Ultra Energon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

As part of his [[Dark Cybertron (prophecy)|master plan]], Shockwave merged Ore-13 with [[Ore-1]], the fusion of the two ores allowing him control of all time in the universe. When all the assembled ores were merged through his [[chronal drive]], Shockwave sought to use them to collapse all of time and space into raw fuel for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}}

When the unaligned scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)|Mesothulas]] traveled to Earth, he discovered Ore-13 in its most potent form. From his experiments, he developed a modified, synthetic version he termed [[Obtenteum]], which he used to fuel his most powerful creations such as the [[Tor]] and his army of [[Chimeracon]]s. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

The [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] teleported to Earth and settled above a large deposit of Ore-13 buried beneath [[Monument Valley]]. {{storylink|White Heat}}

[[File:SecretRaiders-ore13.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

After Optimus Prime annexed Earth into the [[Council of Worlds]], {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth| Once Upon a Time on Earth}} the tyrant [[Baron Karza]] began transporting samples of the ore to [[Microspace]] via [[Micronus Prime|Micronus Prime's]] [[Space bridge|spacebridge]] in an attempt to save his own universe from a destructive [[entropy storm]]. {{storylink|O Ship of State}} As a side effect of the matter transportation process, many deposits of Ore-13 became unstable and threatened to destroy the Earth in a cataclysmic explosion, something [[Scarlett]] and [[Joe Colton (Dire Wraith)|Joe Colton]] wrongly held Optimus responsible for. {{storylink|Secret Raiders: A Revolution Prelude|Secret Raiders}} The destruction of [[Mount Olympus]], housing a rich vein of Ore-13, galvanized the United States government into launching a preemptive strike on the Transformers. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}}

The [[Dire Wraith]]s were likewise drawn to Earth for its supplies of Ore-13; with it, they could enhance their [[magic]]al powers and make themselves harder to detect. The [[Space Knight]] [[Rom]] found that [[Ore-12|his armor]] reacted to Ore-13 and exploited to try and send the crystals into Microspace, hopefully putting it beyond the Wraiths' grasp, before Optimus Prime talked him down. {{storylink|O Ship of State}}

The Wraith that had been impersonating [[Joe Colton]] carried around a case of Ore-13 which he intended to deliver to his superiors before Rom killed him. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}} The case fell into the hands of the [[President of the United States]]. As the Wraith invasion was obvious at this time, it was entrusted to [[Marissa Faireborn]] only for the Wraiths in the [[White House]] to obtain it. The leader of the Wraith cell used the Energon to enhance herself but was ultimately impaled on the [[Washington Monument]] by [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]]. {{storylink|Thundercracker & Buster Save the World}} Eventually, human collaborator [[Miles Mayhem]] openly challengd the Autobots and their allies for their supply of Ore-13, leading to an all-out battle in Monument Valley. When Baron Karza was defeated in the battle, the Ore-13, no longer destabilized, returned to normal and the crisis had passed. {{storylink|Valley Forge}}

[[File:ToWalkAmongTheChosen-Ore13Matrix.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Some months later, a wandering tribe of [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s arrived on Earth, drawn to the planet's ample supplies of the mineral. While awaiting their arrival on the [[Matterhorn]], Prime's half [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] glowed in response to the ore's presence.
Hoping to use the superfuel to restore their [[Junkion (planet)|old homeworld]] to its former glory, the Junkion leaders [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Rum-Maj]] offered a [[positron core]] in return. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}

After the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] had rendered much of Cybertron's energon unpalatable for Cybertronian consumption, {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}} Optimus oversaw the extraction a large Ore-13 deposit in [[Kentucky]]. The raw power in the one shipment being enough to power Cybertron and its colony worlds for weeks. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}}

Upon learning that [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] was deliberately withholding his [[teleportation]] powers from him, [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]] went behind their backs to try and gain the Ore-13 he needed to fix himself. {{storylink|Scarlett's Strike Force issue 2|Scarlett's Strike Force #2}}

Once [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] had begun consuming the worlds that were seeded with Regenesis ores, Optimus Prime realized the Ore-13 would eventually draw the monster to Earth. {{storylink|Our Darkest}}

Ore-13 is a mysterious substance that is an alternative to the [[Enigma of Combination]] for activating Combiners. After building a Combiner Lab, the Ore-13 Harvester and Ore-13 Storage can be built. If a player has a complete combiner, 10 Ore-13 is required to activate it and bring it into play for a limited time, however 25 Ore-13 can be used to skip the combiner's cooldown time. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars}}

Command Unit

2022-06-25T17:01:48Z

Teletraan006: Shortened the opening bio, as requested on the cleanup notice.

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{cleanup|July 2021|Games section needed.}}
:''Command Units are a type of [[Decepticlone]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)| Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''

[[Image:CommandUnit-render.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Middle management from hell.]]
'''Command Units''' are among the most intelligent of the AI-driven Decepticlones. They are usually put in command of squads of [[Light Unit|Light Units]] and [[Medium Unit|Medium Units]] to coordinate their attacks. As such, a Command Unit should be an [[Autobot]]'s primary target. However, this is easier said than done, as Command Units are far from easy prey, as they possess great situational awareness and can order a variety of tactics, yet any of said tactics can simply be a ploy to distract an Autobot from a larger scheme. Command Units are not to be underestimated.

All Command Units are outfitted with potent weaponry, the most obvious of which is the large broadsword attached to their left forearm that is capable of cleaving through Autobots with ease. This weapon in conjunction with their impressive jumping skills allows them to deliver powerful lunge attacks. The Command Units also boast impressive speed when in close quarters, making them difficult to effectively counterattack. Command Units will utilise their shoulder-mounted missile launcher for ranged combat, often firing off a single shot upon sighting a distant target in order to deal some quick damage and alert any nearby Decepticlones before following up with a whole volley of missiles. Finally, Command Units can summon reinforcements through the use of signal flares.

Unusually for drones, Command Units seem somewhat malicious in their approach to destroying Autobots: they do not always attack on sight, preferring instead to sneak up behind a target and deal surprise attacks. They have also been known to stalk targets long distances before ever attacking. Command Units can be especially difficult to deal with when in groups of two or more as they will co-ordinate attacks with one another in order to prevent an Autobot from retaliating.

Some Command Units have stealth technology installed, making them partially invisible and easy to overlook. This field can be disrupted by area-wide attacks or after sustaining significant damage and a Command Unit will always drop their stealth field - for whatever reason - after engaging an Autobot in close combat. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}
