ACCLIMATIZING TO EARTH

You will take control of your first recruit as they arrive at your faction's new base from a prolonged scouting mission across the Earth. You will need to guide them in, which will familiarize you with their driving controls. Be warned, however: unexplained signals have been detected. Should an attack occur, you'll be instructed on how to use your warrior's three unique weapons.

On arrival at the base you will be able to recruit more warriors. You won't learn their full capabilities right away, but will be able to unlock them with experience.

PREPARING FOR COMBAT

The Hangar is where you prepare for war. Inside you'll be able to engineer items, purchase supplies from the Store, and most importantly, customize and learn about your warriors' loadouts. Time well spent in the Hangar means your battlegroup will be fully-equipped and combat-ready when you deploy them into action.The Hangar is also your primary source of information, where you can monitor your commander rank, individual warriors' ranks, personal achievements, vital Energon stocks, and spendable Relics.

LOCK AND LOAD

Before deploying from the Hangar you need to feel confident that your warriors are prepped to fight, and that you are ready to command them. Review their weapons, equipment and passive subsystem, and consider bolstering them with augments, power cores, prototypes and mining probes - all of which will affect their battlefield performance. You can also fine-tune your warriors' inner workings, tweaking their output, defenses, repairs and speed to add your own personal touch.

THE HUB

Commander, from the safety and security of your Hangar you will ready your battlegroup before deploying to a mission through the GroundBridge. The consoles around the base show the status of the war and the locations of its key battles.The conflict is also on your base's doorstep; be prepared to defend it from trespassers. You will find vast Energon deposits outside your base, stockpiled on Earth during the war on Cybertron. Mine them to accrue this valuable resource, useful for repairing warriors and engineering new technology.

GATEWAY TO BATTLE

Use the Battle Map to select your point of engagement, or direct your warrior into the GroundBridge to quick-select a mission. Your warrior must remain in the base while sufficient troops amass for the confrontation. When all troops are ready your warrior will be transported to the battlefront.If you change your mind you can queue for another battle at any time, or you may choose to explore the outer base area instead by walking out of the operations center.

CONTINUE THE FIGHT

When one of your warriors is defeated in combat they will go offline. Use Relics to repair them in the field, or alternatively they can be emergency-transported to the Hangar, where they will immediately undergo repairs - this will take time, however.During repairs in the Hangar, if you possess sufficient Energon you can instantly repair the warrior; or if you possess a Repair Pak, you can use this to immediately bring them back online. Once repaired, the warrior can be redeployed to the battle.

WHERE LEGENDS ARE FORGED

Across Earth lie the battlegrounds where history will be written, and where the fates of both Autobot and Decepticon will be determined. Humanity has fled from the ashes of your arrival, leaving deserted towns, cities and even entire islands in their wake. These alien landscapes will be the backdrop of your conflict.

Commander - be ready to traverse difficult terrain on missions to eliminate the enemy, and in the fulfilment of objectives that will take you one step closer to winning the war, and one step closer to reclaiming Cybertron. But beware – this planet has not yet revealed all its secrets. Intelligence suggests there is more than merely humans, Autobots, and Decepticons on this world...

more than meet the eye part 3

choose your allegiance

This week the Delta Sword clashes with the Nex Hammer – Autobot Macro and Decepticon Flatline have joined the eternal war.The faction war intensifies between the Autobots and Decepticons with the reveal of the latest two warriors.

Autobot Macro is custom-built for life behind enemy lines, infamous for bushwhacking 'Con battalions when they're enjoying a little R&R.

Decepticon Flatline has mastered the laws of physics, bending space-time to his whim – when his hammer falls expect lightning storms instead of earthquakes. He thrives on the unexpected – drawing his pistols and watching Autobots dive for cover, he cackles to himself, turning around and pumping his allies full of repairing rounds.
