TouchArcade has revealed that Transformers G1 Awakening, which was released in 2008 on mobile phones, is making its way to the iPhone and iPod Touch. The turn-based-strategy game, from Glu Mobile, features 23 playable characters, such as Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Starscream and more, all from the G1 era.
Based on the original story of Transformers, use the strengths of each Autobot to defeat the Decepticons in turn-based strategic battles. Capture sources of Energon power to reactivate, repair or upgrade your Transformers. Featuring up to 23 playable characters and a skirmish mode to play friends as Autobots or Deceptions, there is more to Transformers G1: Awakening than meets the eye.

Game is out as of this morning. $4.99, which is cheaper than I expected (thought it would be 7 bucks). You might have to search for it because the app store sometimes takes a while to update

I don't own an iPhone, but I have to give those that do my congrats. I played it on my Razr and personally thought it was pretty good, and it looks like these upgrades are gonna make it even better.

Bring it to PSN as a "Minis" so that I can play it on my PSP or PS3.

Nonononono! Guys, you're targeting the wrong audience. Put this on XBL Aracade or the PSN Store and clean up ! You dont even have to update the visuals, i think it looks fine the way it is now : ]

Looks awesome. I need to get this.

I can almost promise no more than 10 bucks, but I would wager around 5 bucks. This is only a guess based on other similarly-priced games. Hell it could even be 2.99, since Glu's other games are that price.

What is a ballpark estimate price for this? How much is it for the phone version? When can we expect this?

My only unhappy thoughts about the game…it's not got a sequel announced yet! Seriously, one of the best TF games ever and no word of a sequel.

YES!!! I knew getting an iPod for Christmas was a good thing, but this makes it better!

Thanks for the mini review on it. I'd probably still get it, but it's nice to know some of its features.

I've been waiting on this one for a while. I love the Super-Robo Wars franchise….so this will be a treat for me.
