These two are primed for aquatic combat. Seaspray and Octopunch are making their way through the Space Bridge this weekend!
Seaspray In many ways, Seaspray found his spiritual home on planet Earth, or rather, its oceans.
With no comparable medium on Cybertron, he broke new ground - relishing the newfound freedom of movement and sheer expanse of his territory.
Though well equipped for naval combat, Seaspray's hovercraft mode is vulnerable to enemy fire, and one direct hit would send him to the bottom of the ocean - forever. Whirlwind
Summon a devastating tornado that moves to target location dealing damage every second. Stuns and interrupts defenses.
Octopunch Built for sub-aquatic combat, Octopunch has a passive-aggressive approach to battle.
In other words, he's prone to play a waiting game, drifting serenely and non threateningly before striking with the speed of a manta ray, punching holes in the hull of any passing vessel.
Anything he can sink is fair game, and Octopunch loves nothing more than to pick over his personal wrecks, salvaging what he can.
Whirlwind
Summon a devastating tornado that moves to target location dealing damage every second. Stuns and interrupts defenses.

New Characters
This weekend Hot Spot and Cyclonus are making their way through the Space Bridge to join the fight on the battlefield!
Hot Spot
"Never ask anyone to do what you won't do yourself" are practically the words Hot Spot lives by.
He leads by example, always striving to be the best he can be, but never puts himself above those in his command.
You'll find him at the forefront of any battle charge, howling his defiance, cannons blazing, and even when the victory is won, he never truly stands down, always ready to serve... and protect.
Reflective Shield - Put on a protective shield that reflects 50% damage back to the attackers for several seconds, then charge the target. Attracts defenses!
Cyclonus
Though both intelligent and awesomely powerful, Cyclonus is also a cold and consummate professional, one who oozes contempt aimed at those who would undermine the Decepticon cause for personal advancement.
He'd rather earn the respect of his fellow Decepticons through his actions than simply by flexing his muscles.
In both space jet and robot mode he's one of the most physically powerful warriors in existence. Bombing Run - Drops 12 bombs in a line across the target dealing damage.

Balancing Update
COMING SOON Autobot Jazz & Mixmaster - These bots will have equal stats. This means more damage for Autobot Jazz (but less health) and less damage for Mixmaster (but more health). Overall, this change is not large and will be most visible at the high-end spectrum of the game (where the imbalance was greatest), and helps us make the game more balanced AND more fair for all players across both factions.
The situation involving these bots was neither fair nor balanced. A high-level Mixmaster was able to ‘one-shot’ most of the defenses including Mortars, which was never the intention and more of an accidental overlook on my (Game Designer Adam’s) part. The gap between Mixmaster and Autobot Jazz was quite significant since one received damage boost at the cost of health (Mixmaster) while the other was more resilient at the cost of damage (Autobot Jazz). Given that these bots utilize one of the most powerful abilities in the game, the imbalance grew to uncomfortable scale and had to be addressed.
Abilities currently under investigation:
In order to give you a heads-up and be a bit more transparent, we’d like to share a list of changes that we’re currently looking into. These changes are based on player feedback as well as game data and are mostly buffs to abilities that are not there yet, or small tweaks to incredibly effective (and potentially abusive) strategies that cannibalize other bots’ utility.
There are no timings nor exact details for these yet, and as always we would like to hear your feedback!
• Pleasant surprise to Huffer owners (don’t want to spoil it!).
• Defense Hack range increase.
• Further Cluster Strike improvements.
• Mirage/Breakdown EMP buff - radius/duration increase being probable.
• Line Barrage buff.
• Strafe/Scourge on defense (when used in the Outpost) - possibly will deal reduced damage to enemy bots (currently they are more problematic to attackers than anticipated).
• Divebomb/Windblade ability damage may be slightly reduced and/or ability pricing on repeated use may be increased.
• Range of Ultra Magnus/Galvatron ability (possible small increase).
• Bombing Run buff.

Seibertronians, thanks to user Collectotron, we've been alerted to a brand new Transformer Augmented Reality mobile game that has seemingly slipped under our radar, called Transformers AR Guide. It's based on the new Robots in Disguise animated show, and is developed by Red Frog Limited LTD. I've decided to look a little deeper and try it out for you!
NOTE: What I will be reviewing is the trial version of the game, meaning some features will not/can not be covered in this article. I will address this more in a bit.
First, some technical info about the game: It's Augmented Reality based, meaning it features the ability to superimpose a digital character into the real world through your mobile device. The AR is triggered by a physical book that you have to buy separately for around $10. The app, however, allows you to demo it with a printable image that will allow Bumblebee to appear on your desk, living room, or anywhere else you want him to.
Initially, I was skeptical of the game, and the somewhat convoluted process of getting it to work (I had to download the page, change the file type, email it to myself, and print it out) was kind of off-putting, but I kept positive, and saw it through.
Let's look at the game's features.
The main attraction is the AR gimmick, so let's look at that. The book allows you to cue up quite a few autobots and Decepticons into the real world, but the printable only gives you Bumblebee, as mentioned above.
I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of controls you can use on Bumblebee. You can make him walk around, pose, transform into his car mode (you can even turn his headlights on and off), almost like a digital RC car. Frankly the coolest feature is that you can even make him life-sized, if you have a big enough space. You still have complete control over him even in Life-sized mode, so if you want to have Bumblebee walk down your street, you can! Bumblebee's on my driveway!!
It's also pretty cool to have Bumblebee on while playing with real toys at the same time. It adds a whole new layer of animation (quite literally) to your stories.
Another feature allows you to create your own custom charcter, that you can then superimpose into the real world as well. I made my own character, but wasn't able to "bring him to life" because I, obviously, didn't have the book. Hey! RID Windcharger!
My one critisim here would be that I wish you could get into more detail in the customization process, not just solid colors on various body parts.
The third feature is Battlemode, but I wasn't able to demo this at all. It looks very interesting, however, being a two-player AR fighting game.
So some final thoughts: I didn't expect much from this game going in, and I was very pleased and impressed with what it turned out to be. It's a lot of fun, and a great implementation of this tech, and I'm almost postive I'll be getting that book very soon.
Wanna try it for yourself? It's available now on the App Store and Google play for most devices for free!
And, as always, keep it here on seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and reviews!

Meet Ultra Magnus and Galvatron
Two of the most powerful commanders in the Transformers universe are making their way through the Space Bridge this weekend!
Ultra Magnus Soldier, law enforcer, staunch defender of Autobot principles, Ultra Magnus is all these things and more.
But while he is comfortable following orders, he isn't as happy giving them. The mantle of leadership doesn't sit easily on his shoulders, though with his indomitable courage and gift for battlefield improvisation under fire, he'd be the perfect choice.
In many ways, he simply leads by example.
Ultra Barrage
Fire 21 rockets scattered in a line across the target. Followed by 3 big guided missiles which hit for high damage.
Galvatron It's hard to imagine a more pitiless, monstrous tyrant than Megatron, but Galvatron is it.
He's Megatron to the nth degree and even more powerful than his past/former self. Remade by Unicron, Galvatron's conceit and thirst for conquest and dominance are second to none.
He is power personified, an unstoppable force that knows no upper limit when it comes to sheer mayhem and carnage.
Fusion Beam
Blast a distant target dealing high damage. Heavily damages everything in line with the target and around it.
