Transformers: Earth Wars is a mobile game by Space Ape Games/Backflip Studios with a storyline written by Simon Furman, which means plenty of Furmanisms. 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 Generation 1.
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 on Earth looking for."[1]
Campaigns
- Get Optimus / Get Megatron!
