Thanks to an early Facebook post, I know the new event will start in an hour. It will last 6 days. Trypticon will be involved, but I don’t know if he will be available with tokens or for money.

Topic

I’m shocked if he’s available for tokens and not cash. The last few had always been cash first

[Joel]

If I remember correctly, they did both for Blaster. They just made the event so tough that the only way to get him was buy him or buy tokens

[Itsme]

I got him just spending a max of 3 recharges a day from the gems I had saved up, without buying gems, tokens or outright. It did kind of take over my life for that week though

[Optimus_Pig]

Yawn.

[Drover’s Dog]

Trypticon for 10,000 tokens !!!!!!

[Optimus_Pig]

There’s no way I can accumulate 1,667 tokens / day for six days. Even if it is arithmetically possible.

And that’s not even including accessories.

[Itsme]

Lmao think I said 10,000 a week ago but can buy him for £28.99.

Don’t need a purple grimlock that badly. Sparks me thinks

[Optimus_Pig]

CYbertronians are the bonus squad.

Not wasting any sparks on those guys.

[Itsme]

Accessories for soundwave include faster reloading. That’s useful so ignore the bots and just go for the rest

@emma-simpson

You’re getting hosed. It’s “only” CA$39.99.

GBP/CAD F/X rate is currently 1.72.

[Itsme]

1500 tokens for first place

[ramonpontes]

This time they are definitely forcing us to spend tokens for this new bot.

I’m going to collect as many tokens as I can, and in the end I will consider if I’ll spend them on this bot, together with gems.

@optimuspig

Blame Brexit

50 players in each leaderboard!!

Edit: 50 players to receive prize tokens, however, my leaderboard only shows 1 to 10. After 4 runs I am first, I’ll wait for a few hours and see if leaderboard shows more as I get overtaken by the gem spenders

[Itsme]

1500 for first
1000 2-6
500 7-14
300 15-25
150 26-50

It’s actually doable

There goes another 6 days of my life (unless they do a hard update on day 3 and can’t open the game til May)

[Joel]

50 players in each leaderboard… Part of me wants to yell, part of me wants to wait and see.

[Mechanic Pig]

5th place with 1100 points after 4 rounds. After Fast/ Slow mode gems plus missions, I have 21 gems.

[ramonpontes]

@emma-simpson
You’re right!!! This scoring system can give us better bonus tht the previous ones.
I don’t believe they actually did it. Let’s hope the crashes don’t prevent us to get good scores.

[Nightcrawler]

This takes JARSU to a whole new level

[Joel]

Well, if I can manage top 6 each day, 10,000 might be doable. It depends on how many tokens we can collect through the event each day. We will see…

[Deszaras]

No matter how the token tier changed, I definitely think this is total a cash grab by Rovio. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw his token cost. Yeah, I love Trypticon from the show but he’s just another Grimlock and we have 3 of them already. I’m not going to any sleep on this. Thanks Rovio, I just took another step towards the door.

@christian-cosgrove By 4 rounds do you mean 4 Batteries or 4 rounds of 4, so 16 times played?

[Meh]

Be careful about the spark run in this event. Level 31 and my tfs were seriously nerfed and all three got killed by the same killer cloud of flying pigs. I only got 82 spark. I usually make it to the end

Didn’t they say they were going to fix that? JARSU!

[Mechanic Pig]

@sickcyn 4 Batteries. And… First place in 6 rounds!

[Harpo_Bird]

Soundwave is one of my top 3 bots (along with EG and Dead End, all level 15 with gold crowns), so this is actually a tough decision. Should I shoot for Trypticon, or just hope that he’ll be available again soon? Or, instead, should I go for a level 16 overpowered Soundwave with a godly (or perhaps ungodly) 184% boost, making every subsequent event and spark runs that much easier? No way I can afford both, so it’s a tough choice.
