Home Forums Angry Birds Transformers Forum Just started – newbie questions

  • Hi, I just started playing yesterday and have some questions:
    (where relevant: playing on Android 5.0.2)

    1. I often get a link “watch a movie” to gain some bonus (double resources), but these always result in a crash. Other movies ingame work, but never the ones that result in a bonus. Any idea what’s wrong?

    2. Is my progress synced/stored somewhere if I use Google Play? Or only local on my phone? Can I somehow switch playing on my tablet and my phone?
    Just like in AB Epic this is possible.

    3. I can’t seem to destroy the gold blocks. Am I not powerful enough?

    4. Can I switch/choose which transformer I want to play a level with?

    5. What’s the best way to spend gems (in this phase, max lvl 4 transformers)? I haven’t spend anything since the gems seem to be the premium currency and I don’t know how many I’ll really need later.

    6. Is it easy to gain gems later?

    7. Are the accessories really useless? They seem so expensive for just a vanity item..

    8. I checked the ingame story, when I try to click to buy an item (just checking) I always get “no internet connection available”. I really an on WiFi and it’s working..

    Furthermore, do you have any specific tips for starters?

    1. someone else reported a similar bug this morning, except that it related to getting bonus keys on completing the missions. Looks like you’ve just found a new one.

    Yet another crashing issue

    2. not sure about Google Play – I believe for ABT you need Facebook if you’re playing on Android for the automatic cloud saves to work. Also, problems have been reported by players attempting to play on multiple devices.

    3. Possibly. The gold bricks need several hits, even at higher levels.

    4. No

    5. Unless you really need to, best to just accumulate them until you’re at a higher level. Especially to speed up level upgrades take a lot longer at higher levels than at low levels. We’re talking minutes or hours, versus several days.

    6. Easy, but time consuming. You need to follow the formulas in Professor Pig’s lab (the pig shaped mountain in the top left of the island). Once you’ve figured out the formulas (see here: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/list-pics-of-all-energonicons/) it’s not particularly “difficult” per se, but it’ll suck away a lot of your free time.

    7. Completely useless. Only upside is completed the related achievement, if you’re into that sort of thing. The gem reward for completing the achievement is totally insignificant compared to the expenditure though.

    8. *shrug*

    Tip: be prepared to spend way too much of your life playing this game. If you plan to gave a social life, then uninstall it right now

    Thanks for the answers, that cleared up much. I’ve played some more and got new questions :)

    1. I’ve done some missions, some 4H and 12H. What influences the success rate?
    I’ve sent my toughest 3 TF’s (3x level 5) but sometimes I get all 3 stars, sometimes 3x 1 star..

    2. I’ve read the Energonicon recipes.
    I’ve used the (standard) shield energonicon so far, any recommendations for must-haves at the beginning of the game?

    3. Should I use my materials on upgrading TF’s? Or on recipes?
    I have only a few of each, so each time I have enough materials I upgrade a TF. Any recommendations for early recipes?

    1. Can you see tiny icons next to the missions (The lightbulb, magnifying glass and bomb)? Match these to the icon next to your transformers for more success.

    2. Rapidfire does VERY good damage. Photoblast is good for blowing up Mortar Towers. Goldbrick is helpful for coins and the dome levels. 3-Force is just good all around. Glassor is extremely powerful but tends to crash the game.

    3. I personally got all the Energonicons first just to have them all and get the achievements. Really it doesn’t matter which you do first.
