C.O.M.B.A.T. Bots
An exciting new addition will soon be coming to Transformers: Earth Wars. For the first time we will be introducing Battle Masters, Micro Masters and Mini-Cassettes bots as characters you can collect. These bots will act as part of the new C.O.M.B.A.T. system that will allow you to change the weapons of your existing bots or add battle companions to any bot.
These new weapons, based on Battle Masters and Micro Masters bots, will add powerful new attacks to your bots and allow players to totally change how some bot classes behave in battle.
The Mini-Cassette companion bots will be equippable to any character and provide them with a powerful companion with its own unique abilities.
The bonus part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. system is that it can coexist with Power Cores, and a bot can have both a C.O.M.B.A.T. bot equipped and a Power Core!
The following C.O.M.B.A.T. bots will be joining the game first with more to follow soon.
For more information about the C.O.M.B.A.T. system tune into our livestream this week.
Prime League Effects
The time has come to update the extra battle effects in Prime League and also in the new Prime Zone.
The new effects starting from today are the following:
Defenses explode dealing 5x their dps upon death

Greetings Seibertronians! Following on from last week's reveal about Wave 5 of Wizards of the Coast's Official Transformers Trading Card Game Wave 5 expansion, the company have followed up with revealing the special cards they'll be giving to stores that sign up through their Wizards Event Reporter service to host launch events for the expansion. The reveal was made on the Wizards Play Network.
These include 25 copies of a character card that you will not be in the booster packs when they are available. That character is Titan Master Arcana, who in the TCG is aligned with the Decepticons by the looks of things! This could be a nod to Brainstorms status as a Decepticon double agent, as revealed during the run of IDWs Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye by James Roberts.
Stores will also get 15 sets of the three card combiner Tidal Wave, allowing you to amass your own dark fleet. Unlike Arcana, you can score Tidal Wave from booster packs of Titan Masters Attack.
The participating stores will also get two Titan Masters Attack posters to help advertise the event.
These are to help stores host their own casual launch parties and be used as give aways or prizes to support the trading card game.
What do you think of these reveals? Are you excited to get your hands on more of this expansion? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
Greetings Seibertronians! For fans of Wizards of the Coast's Official Transformers Trading Card Game, we bring you some big news! Wave 5 of the TCG has been revealed to be called Titan Masters Attack, seemingly based off the Titans Returns line of the Prime Wars Trilogy. The news was found via a pre-order listing found on amazon.com.
This is what the product description has to say about it.
Amazon wrote:Titan Master Characters: Mix and match heads and bodies to customize Titan Masters to fit your playstyle.
The Wreckers: The fan-favorite Autobot special-forces team make their debut in Titan Masters Attack. Led by Sergeant Kup, the Wreckers get the toughest jobs done, no matter what the cost.
Stratagem Cards: This completely new card type lets players customize characters on their team.
Fortress Maximus: Every sealed Titan Masters Attack booster display includes a Fortress Maximus Titan pack.
As you can also see from the booster box art, a version of Power master Optimus Prime may also appear in the set. The set is due to launch April 17th 2020
What do you think we'll see in this set? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

A Comment on Backflip Studios
In the past week, news spread about restructuring at Backflip Studios that has lead to a closure of parts of the studio. We want to use this space to give out a clear message that those changes at Backflip do not have any impact on Transformers: Earth Wars or on you, our players.
Space Ape has been running TF:EW, from its development to the day-to-day operation, together with Hasbro, for over 3 years and we will continue doing so. There are no plans other than to stay with you in this game we all love for years to come.
We are working with Hasbro on exciting new features and content for 2020 and are excited to share more as soon as we can.
Happy Halloween!
Here are the spooky contents you will see in the game this weekend.
Spooky Challenge Battle
All claws and jaws
Their fangs ready to clang
In the shadows these creeps rattle
Awaiting for you in the next Challenge Battle!
A special Halloween themed challenge battle will be available via in-game newsfeed later this week. Don’t forget to play this special battle to get a taste of the most frightening challenge, spiced up with Simon Furman’s spooky dialog!
Halloween Bundle
A Halloween bundle: Trick & Treat Bundle which contains the following crystals will be available in the shop this weekend to get you in a spooky mood!
Slash / Rippersnapper
Inferno / Rodimus Unicronus
Rodimus Prime / Motormaster

BGM change
Do you miss the original Earth Wars music theme or you prefer the G1 music? Then it’s a good news for you!
After a content push this Thursday, you will be able to switch between 3 music themes (the original music, the classic G1 music and G.I. Joe music) in the setting menu.
Change the music anytime depending on your mood!
New 5-Star bot poll
It’s about time to decide the next 5-Star Bots! If you’d like to have a say in which 5-Star Bots you see in the game next, make sure to cast your vote on your favourite bot!
Tap on the Vote Now! button below to open a Community Poll where you can vote for a character to be part of the next 5-Star Crystal batch!
The survey will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th at 10:00 UTC
Please don’t vote more than once or your votes may be nutrified.
Extremely powerful bots haven't been included in the poll in order to keep a balanced meta game, but there are still 33 bots you can vote for!
Here are the issues reported that we've been investigating:
Inspiring Charge effect does not apply to bots, when Optimus Prime/Megatron has started their ability while those bots were deploying.
Improvements to how the following bots behave if Inspiring Charge or Battle Orders abilities start while they are using their ability:
Slash & Rippersnaper
Punch & Counterpunch
Snarl & Hun-gurrr
Sentius Magnus & Sentius Malus
Cheetor & Blackarachnia
Laser Optimus & Armada Megatron
Impactor
Slash & Rippersnaper still chase outpost bots after finishing their ability.
Punch & Counterpunch does not follow Inspiring Charge
Bug Fixes / Improvements
The following bug fixes/improvements are coming to the game with a content push this Thursday.
We have increased the area of effect for Hound V.A.M.P. and Soundwave H.I.S.S. Glass Gas and Targeting effect. This should also help to keep the number of targets affected in the area more consistent.
Gold Cybertronian Charge Power Core can now inflict up to 21% more damage if uninterrupted. (Previously 15%)
G-Metal Cybertronian Charge Power Core can now inflict up to 30% more damage if uninterrupted. (Previously 15%)
Hot Rod’sBlessing of the Matrix and Nemesis Prime’s Power of Darkness cannot be cast on Quintus Prime Core’s Sharkticons anymore
Counterpunch can now attack targets behind walls.
Twitch
The TF:EW crew will not be hosting a livestream this week.
Ioannis, Fabien, Debs and Jairo will be back Thursday, November 14th @ 5pm UTC to talk about game improvements, new features, upcoming bots and more!
