I love Transformers. I love mobile games, as they’re the only gaming I do these days. I love Peter Cullen and Frank Weller voicing their G1 characters. And Simon Furman’s G1 story will always hold a special place in my heart.
Did Hasbro make this game just for me?
Below is a press release about a new TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS mobile game coming this spring, featuring Cullen as Optimus Prime and Welker as Megatron, with a story written by Furman.
Just add Vince DiCola music and I’d buy stake in the company. And now that I have an iPad, I can try both iOS and Android versions. Can’t wait to try it out!
