DeNA is in development of a new mobile game titled Transformers: Frontiers on behalf of Hasbro and it is now available in China for Open Beta.
The game is categorized under “free-to-play active time battle card game”, featuring a huge resemblance to Transformers: Battle Tactics.
Description:
“Published by DeNA China, the brand-new active time battle card game Transformers Frontiers is entering its Open Beta for iOS and Android in China today. As an official mobile game licensed by its IP owner, Hasbro, Transformers Frontiers is a free-to-play mobile game which combines RPG elements with traditional card game.”
The game is available to download via a QR code by 2P. You can access that and a gameplay video, after the jump.

Darn. Everyone already said all the good stuff. Micro-transactions are the current thing and DeNA is very big on that. "Could we at least make the game fun?" "no! We have to make it BARELY fun"
I'm basing that on TF Legends and TF Battle Tactics. This one looks a little more interesting, like there's a point! The Unicron stuff looks cool.
I miss Transformers: Awakening. I'd buy that game again for my phone if I could.

Good game, not a card game, lost of fun
Actually No is not a card game base, If is more like the super robot wars series, if anyone here have ever played that game, I've been playing for 2 months and its quate nice haven expense a single buck there, you dont need to unless u want to. Before someone ask no i dont know chinese i play by logic and observation. Its very fun, and for those who aske yes they took 3rd party figures for some of the design, Like optimus battle tanker mode from maketoy

I solved this mystery today. When you upgrade the class of your character (second from left button of the bottom row in character screen), he will consume a bot or several from the same class, usually the weakest ones of that class you have (and the classes are Green, Blue, Violet and Gold, but Gold is probably not the final one, each of them can be simple, +1, +2 or +3, Violet bot has 2 available abilities out of 4, Gold has 3). The icon of the needed bot is displayed on the right, but you can change him by building a weaker bot of the same class (either by merging or consuming characters). For example you're going to class up a Violet bot, and he needs Arcee to proceed, but you don't want to lose her, so you can merge 5 unnamed Blue class bots and get a random Violet, then next time you visit the character's class upgrade page, the icon on the right would be not Arcee, but the bot you've built, so you'll be safe to consume him. You'll also probably get a pop-up notification during an attempt of consuming a bot, which is initially Violet or Gold, so you should be able to cancel that.

I've been playing the game for a few days now. I've made a bunch of characters and lost a few from my inventory and I didn't know why. I think when you force a level upgrade on a character you use other characters in your non team inventory as raw materials. I've lost level 23 quad u, level 23 sludge and swoop, level 21 acid storm and a few others. The game is in Chinese so who the hell knows why I lost them. Going to have to be careful from now on when leveling up my team. Love the game, I'd pay for the game if it does come out over here and in English haha.

Drift's mini-army:
Seekers and random shielded bot (at least I don't think I know him):
Other random bots:
And just some screenshots:
Rodimus Prime
The only DeNa game that I play is FFRK, where they literally give you free tokens every day. I take it that their other games aren't so generous?

There are lot of others in there too. Quantron, Intimidator, City Commander, Quadruple U, Sigma L. I can't help but feel Slag & Sludge are based off of Summanus & Muddy rather than the source material.

So it seems there is some third party TF inspiration in Transformers Frontiers… One of the attacks for Optimus Prime is ripped right from Maketoys Battle Tanker!

Just wait until Shockwave unleashes his Genesect cosplay on your bots. Or when you can become a car, which is not a transformer, just a car.
You can also get on Lost Light and travel through the galaxy after level 17 or 18.
In general this game is pretty much Rising in disguise of Battle Tactics.

So this game just got amazing. I downloaded it and took off a filter in my security settings so I could install it.
Not only does it work just fine here in Canada, it might as well be sponsored by MakeToys.
The first battle you play puts Prime, Bumblebee, & WWI Grimlock against Megs, Starscream, and Soundwave. The cons start kicking my ass with big moves, then they bust out Devastator (really cool short animation to go with it) I counter with Superion. I'm. Still getting thumped, then it makes you press a button…
That's when Optimus attacks with a cut scene of him attacking with the full blown BATTLE TANKER armor on to with the match.
Amazing. Juuuuuust amazing.

I wouldn't worry. Uprising never made it out of Beta.

I had fun with Battle Tactics for awhile. But once I was unlocking characters only once a month at best, I quit playing and deleted the game to free up some space on my phone. On a side note, I've been enjoying Fallout Shelter…but the cap on 200 dwellers kind of limits the fun you can have after a few weeks.

Unicron looks kinda cool
Can't say the se for anything else about the game.

I haven't skimmed through the thread, but has anyone noticed Quantron and Intimidator? ha ha ha
