Mob Control is a mobile app for both iPhone and Android platforms developed by voodoo.io and published by QubicGames in 2021. They partnered with Hasbro to include Transformers. Players can access the "Echoes from Cybertron" battle arenas with 6 levels of play, and 3 round boss-fights, using Energon obtained from firing at Decepticon caches. A battlepass called the Transformers Season started on March 12, 2024 and will end on 6pm EST on April 15, 2024.[1]
Synopsis
Groups of mobs live in fortresses made out of a material called Cublocks, the friendly ones are blue and the hostile ones are red, who raid each other to collect gold coins, cublock bricks, and other seasonal currencies. The regular-sized common mobs are called Normies, while the larger yellow ones are called Great Normies. This is about as deep as things get before the start of the Transformers campaign story, so don't worry about missing any essential exposition to understand the rest.
Echoes from Cybertron
Deposits of Energon arrive on the Mobs' planet, mostly contained in Decepticon caches. Bumblebee arrives and allies himself with the friendly mobs to contain it and prevent a Decepticon invasion, and communicates with Normie and Great Normie (aka "Big Normie" or "Biggy"). The enemy mobs plan to harness the Energon in a structure called Death Tower, which will likely send a signal to space that can be intercepted by the 'cons.
Cutscenes
Level 1:
- Great Normie: Where is this big strange yellow guy?
- Normie: You mean yourself?
- Great Normie:
- Bumblebee: Hey little fellas. I didn't have time to present myself. My name is Bumblebee.
I'm a Transformer from the distant planet Cybertron and member of the Autobots faction.
This energy source that I mentioned, we call it Energon. We need to find a way to contain it before it becomes a bigger problem. - Normie: Why we? You!
- Bumblebee: If you won't help me then Decepticons, powerful yet relentless Transformers, will invade your world to gather all the Energon and bring chaos to your land.
- Normie: …!!!
- Great Normie: We go then!
Level 2:
- Normie: That was nuts!!!
- Great Normie: Showed them who's the Big Yellow Boss!
- Normie: Where is Bumblebee?
- Great Normie: BUMBLEBEEEEE!!!
- Bumblebee: No need to scream. I'm here. I was exploring your world. It looks really beautiful yet very unusual.
- Normie: Hah! A big yellow robot says our world is unusual!
- Bumblebee: Cybertron is very different… So as we found out, Energon multiplies when colliding with your blue blocks. Say, what do you call them?
- Great Normie: Cublocks! Our main building material.
- Bumblebee: Right! We need to gather all of the already multiplied Energon and stop it from spreading. Time is ticking!
- Normie: Lead the way, Bee!
Level 3:
- Bumblebee: Hey, Big Normie, why are the enemy mobs trying to hide the Energon from us?
- Great Normie: They think this Energon of yours will grant them power to defeat us. US! HA!
- Bumblebee: Energon won't grant them any powers. It can only bring unnecessary attention of Decepticons.
And if, or better when, the Decepticons invade they won't make alliances with anyone. They will only conquer and rule!
By the way, where is the little friend of yours? - Great Normie: Normie? He was just behind me…
- Normie (from a distance): HEEELP!! BIGGY!!! BEE!!! THEY GOT ME!!!
- Great Normie: NORMIE!!! WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!
- Bumblebee: You never leave your friend in trouble! Let's go!
Level 4:
- Great Normie: Normie! So good to have you back with us!
- Normie: Where is Bumblebee?
