Cool name for a TF but any Bumblebee-variant is worthless to me. They are too fast and too underpowered.

I used this process last year to recover game data after I had overwritten it following an ABT re-install.

The latest update also brought about Triple Rewards when reaching the Astrotrain…stock up on your coins & piggies.

The saber for Optimus Prime does replace an Axe but I’ve had Nemesis since the last Halloween event and have never had an Axe.

@evan-greenberger – If you have sparks to burn I recommend Ratchet, he’s my main bot. He’s slow enough to allow you to take out maximum targets including BP and Unicron and he can take a licking and still keep ticking.

[jgo95]

I totally agree. OP is OK once accessorized but the Bumblebees should be sent back to Cybertron no matter how many accessories they have. Rodimus is better against WMT’s but overall there are so many better bots to play with.

Since you are just starting out concentrate on Soundwave, Bludgeon and Lockdown. Lockdown is OK but becomes really good with the Explosive Rounds accessory.

Whether they are strong or weak bots you should upgrade them all to level 15. This opens up more of the map and will benefit you when the mission portals become available. The missions are where you gather materials and gems for upgrades.

An interesting new twist to the game. Since we can get tokens I’ll be waiting until the events go live before opening any more than I have to.

@optimuspig – same results for me from my free crates.

[jgo95]

When this event started I did not like it. My two main bots are Ratchet and Dead End, both good for blowing up everything. After a frustrating Day 1 I was going to pass on this event until I started using EGL. After promoting him from 20% to 90% and with the reduced token levels this event was very fruitful…not as fruitful as @ramonpontes but I was able to get Scorponok and 1 accessory. I did have to recharge a few times but it was worth it rather than make up missing tokens with gems.
Overall I ended up liking this event and looking forward to how they tweak it in the future.

@pandaczar12 – my initial ticket was opened about 5pm EST on July 20. First reply from Rovio Support came about 12 hours later and after a couple of email exchanges I was back up in about 24 hours.

[jgo95]

@pandaczar12 – thanks, original graphic has been updated.

I’ve also created a new one showing token cost and % increase by level for those levels that folks have posted. It can be a bit of an eye chart so the full size link might be better to look at.

I think it’s more of Rovio wanting you to watch another ad video to get all 5 keys rather than any combination of team members.

The past day has been crash free for me and I’ve tried to play as much as possible. Still on 1.26.9.0. Since off-line game play doesn’t crash and the version hasn’t changed I’m guessing the problems have been on the backend…like maybe too few servers for the amount of players.

[jgo95]

50%. A good average for baseball but not for ABT. Ever since this new event launched I’ve lost half of my event runs. They all start but then will freeze up and die. Ratchet is at 105% and Smokescreen is 40% pre-bonus so I’m eager to play but downright F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-E-D with the crashes.

[jgo95]

Still on 1.26.6.5 for android. I’m holding off until U. Megatron finishes upgrading. 3 of 6 runs have crashed for me. At this rate it could be a struggle just to get enough for sparks :{

For those that were able to grab the 1.26.8.x update, any crashes?

[jgo95]

For those that have upgraded, did you have any bots leveling up at the same time? I’ve always tried to have upgrades and missions completed when doing a hard update. I’ve got another 12 hours left so if the next event is for Trypticon I’ll have a decision to make…wait or spend gems.

[jgo95]

@datguygamer – when you increased Over-Power levels, did the increase bump change at all as you increased levels or did it remain the same? For example, Soundwave’s bump from L15 > L16 is 184%. Is L16 > L17 also 184%?

[jgo95]

I just added E. Lockdown to the list. Here’s what folks have contributed so far…but check out the earlier post by @datguygamer to see if you really want to do this.

Acid Storm 54%
Airachnid 57%
Bludgeon 22%
Bumblebee 119%

E. Lockdown 49%

[jgo95]

No tokens either for me on android, glad I grabbed them earlier.

[jgo95]

2nd day out of 3 that Spark Run has crashed for me. I always clear running apps before launching ABT but to no avail. I can start the run and make it to the 2nd or 3rd node but it will freeze > crash > come back tomorrow. Grrr…

[jgo95]

Also noticed Daily Quests sparks rewards have been reduced to 400 per day. :(

[jgo95]

There are free tokens in the news feed section, 2 screens each with 1000. I grabbed them already but if you don’t need them you may want to gamble and see if they will be around for the start of the next event.

[jgo95]

Doesn’t appear that accessories make any difference in the bump. My Bludgeon is sporting the Wooly Hat, Reflector, Shield and Sentinel for a combined +10% defense, +10% explosive force and +21% damage. Removing these accessories still shows +22% if going to L16.

[jgo95]

As of 6am EST the price has jumped from $11.99 to $29.99.
