When is PVP not PVP?
When you're playing against a computer!


Synopsis

Following the epic battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron, the battleground of Autobot City has become a chaotic mess of skirmishes. It is into this mess that Omega Supreme arrives, bringing a number of reinforcements including Jetfire with the aim of organizing the Autobot forces into a coherent and ordered fighting unit. The newcomers eventually succeed, bringing the Autobots together, however the Decepticons also now stand united against them.

Players had no in-story affiliation but received an attack bonus if all of their cards were of the same faction.

Notes

  • This was billed as Transformers: Legends first Player-vs-Player event.
    • You play against the computer.
    • The PVP mechanism involved winning a match against the computer and then feeding the game quarters[1] until you made runs of multiple wins which gave you rewards. Longer runs could be achieved by spending more quarters at one time, which increased the player's chance of winning. At the end of the event the one who spent the most quarters came in #1, the one who spent the second-most quarters came in #2, etc.
"It's a faaaaake!"
  • This was week 3 of the "September to Remember" month-long theme event.
  • The event's rollout was marred by an updating error that required that required some iOS users to uninstall and then reinstall the game, then update the game again.
  • iOS7 was released just as this event began and was theoretically the cause of the bug above for all users foolish stupid enough to upgrade to a new operating system on the first day of its release, though users of previous versions of iOS were also intermittently affected. A second bug with the game's "cyber cash" caused the game to crash for users of iOS7 if they attempted to purchase items from mobage unless they first purchased the cash separately so their account balance was sufficient to make the purchase.
  • Various and sundry updates were pushed out to tweak the game mechanic, but no major problems compared to the iOS7 ones.
