TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS Now Available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android Devices
Players Must Align with the Autobots or Decepticons to Determine Earth’s Fate in New Real-Time Combat Strategy Game from Hasbro, Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games
BOULDER, Colo. – June 2, 2016 – Hasbro Inc., Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games today released TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, a new real-time combat strategy mobile game featuring the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe. Published by Backflip Studios (DragonVale, SpellFall, Paper Toss) and developed by Space Ape Games (Rival Kingdoms, Samurai Siege), TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS breaks new ground for the genre, pairing authentic Transformers storytelling with fast-paced gameplay, beautiful 3D animation and hundreds of characters with diverse strengths and abilities. The game is available now for free download on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and on Google Play for Android devices.
“The Transformers franchise is one of the most iconic in the world, so it is exciting to include these characters in such a compelling mobile gaming experience,” said Julian Farrior, CEO of Backflip Studios. “We are thrilled to partner with Hasbro and Space Ape Games to launch TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS and think that Transformers fans are going to love teaming up with their favorite Autobots or Decepticons in these highly engaging mobile battles.”
Inspired by Hasbro’s “Transformers Generations Prime Wars Trilogy,” TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS players must choose to fight with Optimus Prime and the Autobots or Megatron and the Decepticons in a battle to decide the fate of planet Earth. Once allegiance has been sworn, gamers assemble a powerful team of playable characters, raid enemy bases for Energon stockpiles, and construct the Space Bridge to add reinforcements from Cybertron, all while playing in real-time against other players around the globe.
The game also features notable storytellers and voice actors from the Transformers franchise, including dialogue written by comic legend Simon Furman and voice acting from Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime, and Frank Welker, the original voice of Megatron.
“TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS offers players an engaging storyline and incredible gameplay experience,” said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President, Digital Gaming and Corporate Development at Hasbro. “The game harnesses the unique strengths and abilities of hundreds of characters from Transformers lore, which really helps it to stand above existing real-time combat strategy games and delivers on the Transformers promise of More than Meets the Eye.”
“With TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, our team was dedicated to making a high quality, hand crafted experience that fans of both mobile games and Transformers will enjoy,” said John Earner, CEO of Space Ape Games. “We’re really excited about the finished product and can’t wait to help grow and support the community around this game.”

ok cool, thanks very much appreciate the info!!
Sentinel
I'm not positive, I'd say any level, BUT…you may also get duplicate characters and even some that aren't one of those four. You just have a higher chance to get one of those specific characters.
mtl79
Cool thanks for that! Do the crystals guarantee a certain level like 2 stars or above or can they basically result in any level?
Sentinel
They are crystals that are specific to the warrior class of characters, specifically Ironhide, Pyra Magna, Slug and Jumpstream (Arcee isn't included in there for some odd reason). You have a higher likelihood of getting on of those characters than any of the others. I hope that answers your question.
mtl79
Does anyone know what warrior crystals are? There's a sale for them in game going on right now and I'm not sure if they're used to get new characters or just to get bombs/special weapons for in game use…
I googled it but couldn't find anything conclusive…
mtl79
So I start off the campaign with Ratchet and Jetfire. I decide to use one of those space bridge coin things to bring in a 2 star autobot and I end up with… Ratchet with 2 stars…. now that sucks on so many levels because I can't bring in 2 Rachets to battle. So I'm basically stuck down a man. I brought in second 2 star character (Prowl) and found Pyra. Still can't complete the last mission to bring in Optimus.
Not fun right now…

The game is great IMO. I had some questions and they answered within 10 minutes. Just got a new Android HTC 10. Works great.
Rotorstorm
I just have, if you send an email from the one registered with your user ID (under options and general in the bottom left hand corner. they should be able to help you out.
emoo
wait so now they are doing what is for all intents and purposes preordering bonuses for a mobile game? Wow.
knightmare6
I never even got the email and now they're asking me for the link, which I never got… so annoyed, and their customer support just seems to be the same canned auto-response… :/
flux convoy
It's almost 4AM and I just got a pretty quick response to my email about me not getting Prowl. It'd be cool to get this all sorted tonight. The game works fine for me otherwise.
So after maybe fifteen minutes of emails, I have Prowl. Easy! Go get your pre reg characters!
Spekkio
OK, after reading all this, now I'm confused. I did the whole pre-registration thing. I waited to download until I got the super-special e-mail. I clicked on the picture of Prowl after diligently checking the URLs that came up when you hovered over everything – they're all identical except for Prowl/Breakdown (where it's manage1 instead of manage).
I started the game…no Prowl. But first crystal, I got him. I figured that was my freebie. Now I'm not so sure.
Should I bother contacting support?
JLvatron
Because the complaining is Free, too!
Johnator
I want to try this game out.
Philip164
I just finished talking with customer support, they sent me my character, this-morning.
I suggest you get in touch with them asap. (give them your Base Name, Base Level, and Faction)
SunSwipe5
I emailed them, told them what happened and they kindly re-sent my free character for preregistering. Prowl has joined my meager collection of Bots.
Now we're working on a link issue.
Thundershot
If it requires an iPhone 5 or better, then ios9 is available…
I hope someone is compiling all of the bios..
FrankyWest
Crazy how many people bitch about free stuff.
ex dtw2003
iOS 9 or better? That's unnecessary bullshit.
zandergb
If you didn't follow the very unintuitive and specific method of getting it, you are out of luck. Go to the FAQ on the game's website, they might be trying to help people who ask for it.
As for compatibility:
"Would it be possible to release the required system specs needed for this game? I and many others would love to play, but are getting the vague message of "Your device is not compatible" in our app stores, despite meeting the Android version requirement."
"Jack D replied:
Hey Zander,
Thanks for getting in touch!
Android:
Unfortunately we have to deal with Android devices on a case by case basis as their is such a variety of manufacturers. We can confirm that there is always a minimum requirement of running Android 4.2 (Jellybean) but some devices running this or higher will still not be supported.
Apple:
For Apple devices it’s a little more straight forward.
– IPhone 5 or better
– IPad2 or better
– IPad Mini2 or better
(All apple devices must be running iOS 9 or better)
I hope that has been helpful for you
Warm regards,
JD
