I got bored a while back and uninstalled.

There were some in Home Bargains a few months back. Amazingly they turned up in the Grantham branch, which was a shocker! But that's one step too far for me, so I left them on the shelf. Can't remember what it was now. Someone posted about them in the UK sightings thread though.
As for the game itself, I've tried playing a few times, but I tend to loose interest quite quickly. Being "old" I don't find mobile gaming as interesting as PC/Console gaming; I find the screen controls for most games too fiddly. So far I've rescued Bumblebee and Soundwave and that's as far as I've gotten!

He precisely will.

Ratchet is off of the same design as Heatwave and Sentinel Prime.

Oh no, Unicron.
Curious to see how he looks in-game. Ratchet too.

I don't think the toys have ever been released in the UK, I've not even seen them as grey imports

I haven't spent a penny on the game and I've been enjoying it just fine. Hell, I even won enough tokens in the last event to get myself a Sunstorm. I think it's a nice little game and the fact that they keep adding stuff to it is very cool as far as I'm concerned.

Eh…I think this game is very playable without ever spending a dime – apart from the Hot Rod and Nemesis Prime character unlocks that were straight up cash.
In fact, most contests are pretty manageable too. Right now there's one up where you can get a lot of the Deceptihog accessoires for decent token prices.

I think it's interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how they'll handle the Chaos Bringer himself and what he'll look like.

I'm tired of this game trying to cash grab players with cheap "contests" in every update. I'll NEVER spend even one penny on this game in its current iteration.

No one should care. It was made as a hackey tie-in for AOE, runs on a freemium model and the toys for the game are rubbish.
A more pressing question would be: should anyone care about angry birds in general. I say that brand has run its course.

Am I crazy or does no one care about this 'game' anymore?

A hint at Unicron?
