Hasbro Inc., Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games today launched Raid Battles, the first major gameplay update for TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS. In Raid Battles, alliance members work as a team in coordinated attacks to destroy a series of elite raid bases. As the bases are damaged, points are accumulated which alliance members can redeem for rewards.
Also rolling out today is the new Cybertron environment, where all Raid Battles will take place, which is being introduced with a new single player campaign written by legendary Transformers writer Simon Furman.
Raid Battles are spread across different locations on Cybertron, each of which contain a series of raid bases. These raid bases are high powered, supercharged and rule-defying beasts with special buildings players will not have faced before, such as the Luxon Destabilizer, Railgun Cannon and Thunder Tower, each with its own unique powers. Alliance members will only be able to deal a small percentage of damage to a base with a single attack, so it will be important for players to coordinate their efforts in order to destroy each base.
Participating in Raid Battles rewards players with our new unique Cybertronian Currency, Shanix. Using Shanix in the new store, players can acquire unique Power Cores, including new XP Boost Cores, Universal Combiner Sparks, Ore-13 and the ultimate reward, an exclusive 5-star Optimus Primal or BeastWars Megatron.
