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 looking for on Earth."[1]

Campaigns

  • Get Optimus / Get Megatron!

Jefire 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 legendary artifact.

  • 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.

Gameplay

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.

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 use to create powerful crystals to summon high star rating Bots.
  • Cybercoin- Premium currency used for instantly obtaining resources and 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.[2]
  • Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means Combiner Wars and Titans Return. There are also some appearances from Thrilling 30, Legends, Universe, movieverse namesakes, and 'original' Generation 1. Many of these designs are horrendously mistransformed.
  • 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!" (said by Optimus Prime when deploying troops)
