It's not every day you find a job listing that asks that you have "Knowledge of the Transformers IP", but there is one up now for the role of an Online Community Manager for an upcoming Transformers Game from Kabam. The job is based in Vancouver Canada. This is the company making both a Transformers MMO and a fighting game. This job seems to be for the MMO because it also says that they will favour applicants that have built from scratch and made existing multi-million player communities effective. That's quite a requirement. For anyone interested, you can get the full job posting here.

War Game Crystals contain the chance to unlock 2 - 4-StarPipes or Offroad, 100,000 Energon, 2,000 Spark, 100 3-Star Crystal Shards or 100 4-Star Crystal Shards!
New Characters Pipes and Offroad are making their way through the Space Bridge in this weekend’s event. Get a first look at the new bots and their special abilities!
Pipes (Warrior)Tough, brave and very strong; Pipes notable talent is to emit clouds of toxic, corrosive fumes from his exhaust pipes. Whilst it can melt through 2" inch thick steel plating, it's not something you really want to shout about! Still, he's a good 'bot to have on your team if you need a solid, sturdy and dependable warrior, just... don't get downwind of him.
Defensive Rush - Put a protective shield that blocks 80% damage for several seconds, then charge the target. Attracts defenses!
Offroad (Warrior)Being the new Stunticon on the block, and not yet trusted by his teammates, Offroad inevitably gets the assignments no one else wants, which actually suits him fine. It gives him plenty of opportunities to show off his extreme-conditions combat training and generally go where no Decepticon has gone (or wants to go) before.If anything, Offroad overcompensates, and ends up making his fellow Stunticons look a bit... pedestrian.
Shattering Charge - Rush into combat leaving trails of Glass Gas behind. Affected targets take more damage for several seconds

TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS Rolls Out Super-Sized Update For iOS and Android Devices
Command the Biggest Bots in the Universe as Combiners Enter Real-Time Combat Strategy Game
BOULDER, Colo., November 10, 2016 – Hasbro Inc., Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games today released their biggest update yet to the popular real-time combat strategy mobile game TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, bringing fan-favorite Combiners characters Devastator and Superion from the iconic Transformers universe into TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS. Beloved by fans of Hasbro’s “Transformers Generations Prime Wars Trilogy,” the Combiners will be the most visually stunning and powerfully destructive bots on the battlefield.
Not all bots have the power to combine as these super-sized Combiners are robots formed by teams of five or more designated component bots. The landscape of the battlefield will change as players race to build these new characters and leverage their unique powers and abilities. Along with the new characters, the update will introduce new resources, buildings, and the Combiners themselves in a new campaign based on the first chapter in the Prime Wars Trilogy, Combiner Wars.
“Bringing Combiners into the game was a goal throughout development, and we couldn’t be more excited to have achieved this milestone for Transformers fans,” said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President, Digital Gaming and Corporate Development at Hasbro. “Combiners bring another level of authenticity to the game and a whole new mission for the player to collect, combine and battle at a new level.”
TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS launched in June 2016 topping charts and building a player base of six million downloads. Published by Backflip Studios and developed by Space Ape Games, the game breaks new ground for the genre, pairing authentic Transformers storytelling with fast-paced gameplay, beautiful 3D animation and hundreds of characters with diverse strengths and abilities. The game also features notable storytellers and voice actors from the Transformers franchise, including voice acting from Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime, and Frank Welker, the original voice of Megatron.
TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS is FREE to download, features in-game purchases, and is available on Android and iOS devices worldwide, except in Mainland China. Please note that a Wi-Fi connection is required to play.

Combiners
The war on Earth is about to reach new heights! The Enigma of Combination has been located and with it the means to unleash the power of the Combiners: SUPERION & DEVASTATOR.
After months of hard work by our team, we’re finally ready to unleash our biggest feature yet. Combiners will launch in an epic new campaign titled Combiner Wars!
Players will get their first chance to battle with Superion or Devastator on the battlefield during the campaign!
Complete the campaign to unlock the Combiner Lab. Enter the Combiner Lab to combine, upgrade and rank up your Combiners!
Combine Superion or Devastator using your 3 Star Aerialbots or Constructicons in the Combiner Lab. Upgrade your Combiner’s health and damage using Superion or Devastator Spark obtained from duplicate Aerialbots or Constructicons in the Space Bridge.
Collect all 4 Star Aerialbots or Constructicons to rank up Superion or Devastator in the Combiner Lab. Ranking up a Combiner unlocks a new attack and makes them even more deadly on the battlefield.
Unlocking the Combiner Lab will enable you to construct the Ore-13 Harvester and Ore-13 Storage. Ore-13 is used to activate Superion or Devastator in the Combiner Lab allowing you to take them into battles against rival players!
Combiners are equipped with up to three deadly attacks capable of inflicting unimaginable damage to their opponents.
Rush And Smash - Rush into combat smashing walls along the way. Deals heavy damage to the final target.
Rocket Swarm - Fire a swarm of rockets dealing damage over a large area.
Death Ray - Fire a powerful beam that deals massive damage to a single target. Cannot be used on the HQ.
Prepare yourself for the ultimate battle as Combiners launch in Transformers: Earth Wars next week! Look out for upcoming events to support the release of Combiners.
Balancing Update

Release 1.32.1 - 03-November-2016
-Blaster and Soundwave - Health and damage increased, speed reduced slightly (this means they'll be less likely to run into trouble ahead of the pack).
-Gnaw - Should now behave properly in Bot vs Bot encounters.
-Mini Laser (Huffer) - Ability range and cast range increased, line of sight not required, cost on repeated use decreased. Mini Laser prioritizes enemy defenses and is less likely to be attacked by them.

Gnaw Crystals contain a chance to unlock a 2 - 4 Star Gnaw!
New Character
Gnaw makes his way through the Space Bridge in this weekend’s event for both Autobots and Decepticons. This Sharkticon is loyal to whoever feeds him!
Gnaw
While normally a feral Sharkticon is no one's ally, Gnaw is the exception - loyal to whomever last fed him.
As insatiable in appetite as he is savage in combat, Gnaw is one of those walking engines of destruction you just wind up and let go.
Trouble is, if the opposition has some energon snacks handy, Gnaw will think nothing of biting the (original) hand that feeds.
Chomp Chomp Chomp
Unleash four vicious Sharkticons. Warning: current Sharkticons will rebel and explode!
