Toy Fair 2017 Trailer for Transformers: Forged To Fight mobile game is now online.
The trailer showcases a new roster of characters and backgrounds as well as the game mechanics.
“When Kabam said they were pulling characters from almost every generation of Transformers, they were not kidding. In the shot above we’ve got classic Soundwave, mewcoer Windblade, whichever version of Optimus Prime that is, Rhinox from Beast Wars (showing off the liberty being taken with scale) and bad old Bludgeon.”
Kabam Studio’s Transformers: Forged To Fight will be available this spring on Apple iOS and Google’s Android operating systems.

This is live on the App Store now (at least in Canada). Just played a bit of it (unlocked Sideswipe and Movie Grindor so far). Decent game but typical "pay to advance now" app.

It's great to see Rhinox featuring prominently:

That said, a tie in game for the next film completely slipped my mind. ROTF will forever be the best of the bunch. Let's hope High Moon are up to something. I have no faith in Activision however. They treat need to release the licence, they've had it for about 10 years.

Count me in the \"would buy on console\" camp!
Although, not a big fan of this genre, as I think it kind of limits the story…
But yeah, mobile games… again. This is the future, gentlemen. Even though, by all accounts, this game could be amazing on a console… it\'s a mobile thing.
1) Mobile games are cheaper to make (lower hardware = less development costs)
So mobile is growing, while console is… well, not growing as much.
2) Mobile games have a larger install base (literally anyone with a cell phone – i.e. everyone)
3) Hasbro likes partnering with mobile-gaming companies (who will obviously make a mobile game, not console)
4) The console portable market is likely dying, due to mobile games (i.e. try to find a PS Vita, or tell me about the next iteration)…
5) If it\'s cutting into mobile consoles, you know it\'s cutting into console consoles!
6) Mobile has a more aggressive pricing scheme, charging customers regularly for \"bonuses\" or \"power-up\'s\", and thus earning more income (as compared to development costs to generate said income).
Anyway, that\'s my thoughts on why we\'re not seeing console announcements…. basically, if you want a console game, you\'re an old man!
Ugh… does anyone else miss the days when a cell phone was just a damn phone?

Is this a "street fighting" game like Kabam's Marvel Contest of Champions? If so that's AWESOME.

So this is another app game for android and Iphone? Big pass then. I really don't like playing such type of fighting games without a keyboard.

WO WO WO WO WO! HOLD THE FRIGGING POWER GAUGE FOR ONE HOLY JAAM'N MINUTE!!!!
this is a fighting game, a gaming genre which i hold dear in my heart, with transformers, which i also hold close, and it spans multiple continuities…….only for it to be a phone game…..a great evil exists in order for it to tease me like this…….
i swear if a technobot is playable, and his ultimate makes him combine into computron…….i'm gonna riot…..
hopefully one day…..i'm gladly drop 30+ if it dropped for xbox. i wonder how many characters there are…..

I'm feeling surprisingly happy/optimistic about this game! Really hoping we get more ladies than just Windblade and Arcee, ideally at least one con like Blackarachnia, but I'm not holding my breath…

If i ever end up playing this it will be for Rhinox.

Put this on Xbox One and I will happily drop cash on it. This looks like it has potential for awesome fun.
But as soon as you mention it's a mobile game I realize it will be a piece of crap buried in ads, timer count downs and bull shit resources layered in Micro transactions.

These devs have good taste – that's the ROTF Bludgeon design! The best Bludgeon!

Heck, on the official Transformers Facebook page, people are saying that, with tangible controls, this could've been a console game. The animations are good. The graphics look pretty amazing. Sad that it's been reduced to a simple mobile game.
Caminus Prime
We usually got movie tie-ins for every sequel from hasbro/Activision regardless because it was for US the fans, just because ROTDS was trash or devastation didn't sell well doesn't mean you STOP everything completely, its a matter of stepping your shit up and give us a newer and better release game, it's hypocritical for them to them to think like that for these movies but not the console games.

Let me guess, no Armada/Energon/Cybertron?
