/NEW CHARACTER! The terrifying Nemesis Prime has appeared for Halloween and comes with a range of new accessories for you to play with.

Halloween update is there for the IPhone version.

Any other major differences between the new version and previous version? Improvements, bugs, etc.? I'm playing on iOS, and usually wait awhile before updating.
Last time new characters were introduced (Prowl and Bluestreak) they were greyed out until you unlocked them on a missions screen, but I don't remember if purchasing them was also an option? So far I've managed to spend $0 to progress in this game and hope to keep it that way. However, I'd gladly pay something like $5-10 for an add-free version.

Marvelous. Somehow, the new update will now make the game crash without exception after playing some video ad when trying to launch a third mission in a setting. Doesn't matter if you try to skip the video or sit through the whole thing, it just blacks out when the video closes and gives a generic "This App has crashed" message.
Think I'm just gonna quit playing until they make another major update to address this…as well as do something more than reskin a bunch of crap to look more gaudy, actually put in a new character instead of charging $12 for an Optimus reskin ($3 more and that's enough money to actually buy a whole deluxe these days!), and make leveling up actually mean something again.
There should be a prompt for him under the coin counter in the upper right.

I am on the Kindle Fire version, and I am not seeing a purchase ability for Nemesis Prime. It updated, as I see his shadow in the Barracks, but no way to buy or in turn earn him.

The shop icon is near the HQ icon. Then go to the second tab, and it'll contain your option. It also sometimes appears in top right corner.

I am confused. I am not seeing a purchase option for Nemesis Prime. The game shows 2 "Iconic Transformers" in shaded gray. One being Nemesis, and I am thinking maybe Ultra Magnus for the other?

I stopped playing the game for a while after I couldn't go any further. I stopped at level 199. I hated how the gem rewards we reduced, almost like Rovio wants people to break open the bank just to progress.
Also, the above areas need to be accessed, dammit. If they are not in the new update, then we have a problem.

Oh god I don't ever go into the store, but for real? You have to pay twelve bucks for another Optimus Prime repaint?
God this game's need to monetize everything knows no bounds
AshleyCuadra
Agreed I like it
red00wolf
so you have to pay $11.99 to get nemisis prime?

Is anyone else not able to get the update?
Autobot Burnout
Yeah, after you clear the map of guys you need pigs to access, pigs really only exist to fastforward the Spacebridge missions (pretty much only useful for splitting 24 hour missions in half by spending 1943 pigs – not even worth it if you only check the game once a day).

Cool and Scary!

Might have to go back to that game then, if only the update actually was out on my phone, in fact I'm right now downloading the update that gives us Bluestreak so maybe it will be a while before I get the update.
Ragnar
I have a love/hate relationship with this game but will probably just keep playing it like I have been. Too bad the gold pieces and pigs are basically useless as are most of the weapon upgrades. Megatron continues to be the slowest most useless character in the game, which is sad.
Level 342 and counting…
Autobot Burnout
So I wasn't the only one who kept having this issue…thought it was my phone acting up recently.

if they don't fix the glitch that makes it crash; its not playable.
Autobot Burnout
Haven't checked yet, but if they stick to what was implied in Airachnid's little bio blurb…he's almost certainly an Autobot/bird that uses the purple pig upgrade materials (like Airachnid).
At least with Airachnid, her being just a recolor of Arcee who was introduced in the same update made sense as they needed a 'con to balance things out (even if beyond the needed upgrade parts it doesn't matter which side a character is actually on). But the best they can do now is a repaint of Optimus/Red, when there's four versions of that exact model already in the game (three of them literally being Optimus Prime variants and the fourth is the expected Ultra Magnus)? Lame.
