ABTF v1.23 – Gem Pass and new upcoming Blues character

[saracucin]

gem pass charges for gems; earning them in pig lab cost nothing. This is just greedy on rovio’s part.

I’ve also had the game crash twice during the Happy Holidays challenge, when I reload I find I’ve lost the Engery so I can’t replay the level, and I lost all the tokens earnt.

1.23.3.4 The new softupdate gives back gems in the Professor’s Pig Lab!

[Phillips]

@elpapam to say they “gives back gems” is a bit of a stretch. Did a few try’s and didn’t land on gems once. Bit like the 3SR gems is an “option” but just doesn’t land on them.

Everone’s been complaining so much about temporary fixes that there is no talk about the new Blues in this thread! I’m pretty sure who it is, but I guess his projectiles blind pigs smoking black clouds. (hint)

[Phillips]

@woo224 someone mentioned Smokescreen a while ago. To be honest I’m more concerned with getting Wheeljack who has just been released and what changes are taking place in the game now then caring about which character may be coming out in the future. When he is available as a buddy I may start to care more.

[The Dark Knight]

I also believe that he might be Smokescreen Though i don’t know if they are using the same type of weapon like Prowl’s and Bluestreak. I would like o have something else for weapon!

Back to the Gem Pass. Got a question.

The 7 days of gem passes have finished.

So if I purchase a gem pass today again, and this live event Happy Holidays will not last past the 27th December 2016 (or lets say 28th because of 1 day of Token Exchange),

will I be forfeited of my balance gem passes?

Thanks in advance.

[ArmourBender]

Ok I’m answering my own question above…

In short, YES the daily gems from Gem Pass will be supplied daily.

Bought the 7 day gem pass on the last day of the last event Happy Holidays.

Have been getting the gems daily even on the 2 days of Token Exchange and 2 days of rest and 1st day of next live event Happy New Year.

Happy new year, everyone, and all the best :)

Confirmed Smokescreen is the New TF:

[datguygamer]

Wonder when Smokescreen will be available…

[ArmourBender]

Yeah when is Smokescreen coming?

Chinese New Year 2017 starts Saturday 28th January.

Here’s hoping that we can have two characters on the live event… Prowl and Bluestreak with massive Sparks multipliers :)

[ArmourBender]

In your opinion, if you have both Prowl and Bluestreak already at level 13… which one to upgrade?

Needs 2.5 days to upgrade, in anticipation that Smokescreen *may* be in the next live event.

[ArmourBender]

An upgrade to level 14 Prowl & Bluestreak will give the character almost maximum firepower.

So who needs this firepower upgrade more?

Thanks in advance for sharing.

[Joel]

I have Bluestreak at level 15. They seem to have identical weapons. I’ll promote him, but I I’ll still use my Ratchet as the second TF. I don’t think either Blues character would do anything against Unicron or Boss pig

[Joel]

Since you get two shots before a long reload, I really think that Boss Pig would shred either one of the Blues

[SnTrooper]

Got Smokescreen as a buddy. He lobs a missile that bursts into a massive plume of smoke damaging everything around the impact spot (like explosive rounds before they were nerfed).

[datguygamer]

@sntrooper Is he strong? Plz tell me he is strong. Also was that buddy accessorized?

[SnTrooper]

@datguygamer Can’t really say. He spent most of the time firing uselessly at random single blocks. The two times he did fire at a complete structure they were knocked over with one shot (but they were mainly glass). I didn’t notice any accessories other than baseball caps.

[datguygamer]

@sntrooper That’s just the AI nerf acting up but Blues are made for glasses so I am gonna assume that Smokescreen is strong. Wonder what other stuff he gets to wear.

[The Dark Knight]

I had a node with buddy the new Blues… their weapon was tragic i energon ball just like the other blues that is been split upon hit nothing new or special… waste of time…

[Nightcrawler]

Looks like the next event will be the smokescreen event as his slot has showed up in the barracks

[Nightcrawler]

@datguygamer here’s a screenshot of smokescreen with one of his accessories

[Deszaras]

@elpapam Thanks for the info about Smokescreen. Now I’m sure I have no interest in getting him. I can’t stand how Prowl and Blustreak shoot. They take so long to fire. Why they haven’t added an accessory that increases fire rate for them blows my mind. I think Energon Soundwave and Heatwave are more annoying.

[The Dark Knight]

@deszaras I am also thinking seriously drop the game i don’t play event and really i can’t find it interest any more!
