Transformers Earth Wars

From fashion to cartoons, the 80s came back and it looks like they’re here to stay. He-Man, G.I. Joes, Microman, even the ThunderCats keep showing up all over the media of late. None of this is surprising since the whole retro thing is a huge hit with millennials. While the Transformers franchise technically didn’t die down thanks to a string of Michael Bay movies and a never ending supply of action figures, they’ve not invaded another media space: video games.

More Than Meets The Eye

Transformers: Earth Wars Beta is a city-building game, similar to Clash of Clans, but with transforming robots instead of fantasy creatures. The game appears to be in continuity with the recent Power of the Primes cartoon, even incorporating designs from the show and the recent lines of action figures . Players start the game by choosing the Autobots or the Decepticons. During the course of the game, you’ll be given Transformers from the opposing team as well so you’ll get the chance to get them all.

The game features G1, G2, and Beast Wars designs that will bring back many of your childhood memories. From the 80s cartoon music to the voices, the game will give you serious nostalgic vibes. I still get chills when I hear “Decepticons, deploy” or “Autobots, roll out!”
