Here’s a post on Facebook for upcoming events.

It looks like we finally get another chance at getting Rodimus, and then get new Ratchet.

Thanks @david18. For those of us that don’t have Facebook, what does the post say?

2 Upcoming Events:

1) You’ve Got the Touch challenge event celebrating 30th anniversary of TF movie
picture of pig unicron and fleeing rodimus – can get rodimus, prowl, bluestreak

ends 8/19/16 (8/20 0 GMT)

2) Medic event – autobird ratchet and accessories, rhino on one shoulder and huffer on another.

ends 8/28/2016 (8/29 0 GMT)

So maybe Drift will come through that portal under construction…

[Pampeans]

Thanks @cbya!

Does it say when the “You’ve got the Touch” and “Medic” events start? That’s lets me know to not spend gems on winning accessories.

[cbya]

Doesn’t say but since there are bots as rewards guessing 7-8 day long events?

[Pampeans]

Oh yeah, that’s a good point!

[starscream]

How on earth did that guy access those? Weird it says ‘peace through tyranny’ on all the pics despite each challenge apparently having a different title. I hope these are real and not Photoshop inventions.

[SnTrooper]

Prowl and Bluestreak through an event? Does this mean new players can’t get them from the mission portal anymore?

[cbya]

@sntrooper wondering that myself; the one and only thing I’ve actually forked out a few $ for is rodimus so I may get to skip that event which works well since I’ll be on vacation :)

Wonder if nemesis prime will be available in future – only one I don’t have

@starscream as suggested on facebook page some players set the clocks on their phones forward to get them; wouldn’t recommend it on your playing device but if you have a second or alternative account / device no problem.

[Cynical Bird]

Impressive, the innovative methods people come up with to discover stuff.

Cool!Rodimus and Ratchet.Only missing them,Starscream,and Skywarp…

“Prowl and Bluestreak through an event? Does this mean new players can’t get them from the mission portal anymore?”

I hope not I only just started playing the game. Given the number of Transformers that there have already been events for that I have “missed” that I need to wait/hope they redo events for. I would hate to be adding another 2 to the tally if they are made event only characters.

[Pampeans]

@phillips welcome! Mine this forum, there’s a goldmine of wisdom, tips and tricks. Be careful to keep up with the versions though, the game has changed dramatically over the past 22 months…

[jasebree]

@phillips the event could be a way for new players to unlock Prowl and Bluestreak earlier without waiting for them to show in the mission portal. Hard to say.

[Anonymous]

Can’t wait for Rodimus+Ratchet!!!

[Deszaras]

I’m looking forward to Rodimus but not Ratchet.

[Anonymous]

Ok. @dezaras ,but would you still try to get Ratchet?

[Optimus_Pig]

It’s too bad we’re physiologically incapable of banking sleep in advance. (Which kind of sucks, seeing as how I’ve banked plenty of food over the years ……….)

[Anonymous]

@optimuspig +1 LOL.

FYI someone said on the fb group “When will it be Nice To The Players Month?”

[sheepybach]

I think there must be a bug somewhere as I’ve had 2 news alerts about the both up and coming events and they look the same as I had, in fact it was yesterday.

[Optimus_Pig]

Interesting timing on those two events – the first one ends on a Friday, the second one on the second Sunday after that (based on N. America Eastern Time Zone).

Also, assuming that they are 7 or 8 day events, we’re faced with what amounts to one massive event, with perhaps a one day break in between.

Rovio’s probably counting on players to drop from fatigue and simply opt to go for the Gems:Tokens exchange.

[Anonymous]

@paul13 Probaly.

[sheepybach]

Sorry my bad it was Monday I had them, Rio got a lot to answer for lol.
What a shame with all these events in a short period of time they will not let us roll over our collected tokens I’ve got 325 sitting there doing nothing as I’ve got what I want and so not interested in spending gems to get add ons I did want or need.
Right that is me done for now back to Rio 2016 latter all

[sheepybach]

It has just popped up again, out of touch, starts 13/08/2016 ends 20/08/2016
The Red Bubble Bee

I’ve not seen the Facebook message except on here, but reckon bluestreak and prowl will be the bonus squad for the comp, rather than the prizes. I lost my progress and had to start again 2 weeks ago, and I got them both through missions in the last week. They’re probably due to be the bonus squad anyway, and given no hotrods are available to use, they need to use a different squad for the rodimus comp.

[Pampeans]

@shakabooby good points!
