Also making a card like metroplex ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2026-06-14, version 3.0.3* This game. Oh, this game. Too many in our purchases every the game just feels like I hate to win at this point we’re literally just matches you up with and said that point just kill you in two seconds and you have to feel like you have to pay money and actually have an actual fighting chance like it’s a great game like the Apple Arcade version I adored now it’s just no. ### 2/5 — Mod!!!! *2026-06-06, version 3.0.3* Buddy this is horrible. I have played this game for more than 2 years. Spent a lot of money. Now I'm playing people that can somehow speed and slow down the game. I just witnessed it today!!!!!! I have deleted and downloaded it again. Because I love this game but I will not spend money for somone to be able to hack and alter the game. I'm over it. So horrible ### 4/5 — nice game bet rip off *2026-05-02, version 3.0.3* this literally a ripoff of clash but it’s still a good game ### 2/5 — Want more characters and concept art from you guys *2026-03-29, version 3.0.3* Your game are visually appealing and it's pretty fun and frustrating at times, but I wish you guys could update more characters and more game modes like clash royale this is definitely up there and hate to see this game not be updated ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-03-20* Pay to win garbage, grind your teeth out against low strategy opponents that just pump money into buying cards **Developer response:** Matchmaking is based on your Victory Points and Turret level, this helps ensure matches are being made based on a players skill level and not card level. To level up your cards without spending any money, make sure you’re collecting your daily rewards, daily supplies and participating in as many weekly events and missions as possible! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-03-15, version 3.0.3* This is such a good game!!! ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-03-13, version 3.0.3* Money pit and cheaters. That’s all this is. You get the same experience leaving the game and starting the match again is if you stayed with the whales and cheaters. ### 1/5 — GET RID OF TROPHY DIS/ADVANTAGE *2026-03-13, version 3.0.3* At least change the dis/advantage to be based off of the average card level. Please for the love of god it’s impossible to rank up in high arenas when you consistently go against players with higher card levels. Pleeeeeeeeaaaaase. For every 1 loss I have to win 2 consecutive just to get a positive net trophy win. ### 4/5 — Perfect formula, abysmal matchmaking *2026-03-05* I’m an avid fan of this genre of games. When I was told of an equivalent of Minion Masters but with Transformers, I had to give it a try, and it didn’t disappoint. The IP is all but perfectly preserved. It’s a joy to see the various chars, and the abilities are well thought out, while being true to the bots’ origin. The only thing that almost destroys the experience is the matchmaking. When matched against an opponent of similar level, the experience is amazing, the match a close call that leaves one fulfilled, be it in win or loss. As it should be. But more often than not the opponents are of an order of magnitude too high that renders the match a frustrating one-sided steam roll one is powerless to fight against. Longer queue times aren’t an issue, as long as the match one gets is fair. Constant mismatched losses are more likely to make someone just stop playing rather than invest more time and effort. Update: No. Just no. It makes no sense for matchmaking to pair a deck of levels 7 and 8s against a deck of 9s. **Developer response:** Thank you for playing and your feedback! Matchmaking is based on your Victory Points and Turret level, this helps ensure matches are being made based on a players skill level and not card level. To help level up your cards, make sure you’re collecting your daily rewards, daily supplies and participating in as many weekly events and missions as possible! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game Rigging Garbage‼️ *2026-07-07, version 3.0.3* The progress in this game is impossible, because they RIG the opponent selection against you. Trying to make progress at Level 4, they will set you up against Level 5 opponents. If you are fortunate enough to be matched with a Level 4 opponent, they literally stack your own card deck against you to ensure the most valuable cards show up last and least frequently. Why does this matter? It matters because every defeat actively subtracts from the credit you need to advance to the next level. Oh, and if the game is disconnected FOR ANY REASON, it is scored as an instant defeat for you‼️ ### 1/5 — Best game at being bad *2026-06-26, version 3.0.3* I can’t believe I found the game this bad worst I’ve ever seen. Please do not play or you will break your device yes I’m real ### 1/5 — Playing against bots *2026-06-16, version 3.0.3* The issue with this game is most players you’re playing against are literal AI bot. It’s so obvious because as soon as I place someone down they place their car down way too fast. The reaction time is not of a human being and they always know like what perfect card to place at that exact moment. I don’t like to be a sore loser, but it’s so freaking obvious that I’m playing against bots to the point that a lot of time if I’m losing the game, I’ll just leave the game because what’s the point of playing. ### 1/5 — Where is my vp advantage???? *2026-05-31, version 3.0.3* I am a level 4 in arena 4 and my average card level is 4.3. I am matched with opponents whose level 6 or even 7, let alone their card level. (5.5 or more) However, you guys consider that I dealt more damage in a game or I have more trophies thus I am superior.(are you joking????WTF Where’s my vp advantage??? (Obviously your algorithm is illogical and fail to protect the weak The game experience sucks!!! The game sucks ### 1/5 — Pay to win. *2026-05-30, version 3.0.3* Level differential is insane you can go up arenas so many times until you run into lvl 6-8 which kills new players. There’s nothing you can really do at level 4 this game doesn’t reward you for pushing arenas , the game punishes good players with insane amount of spam of high overpowered characters. Megatron, Optimus spam. Etc. ggs! supercell runs this company aswell what it seems like ### 1/5 — FIX THE MATCHING SYSTEM!! *2026-05-23, version 3.0.3* Fix the games matching system please. Up in the higher arenas it’s impossible to win with lower level cards regardless of skill. Each consecutive match I’ve played higher leveled cards and towers. Each. Ranked. Match. It’s not even fun anymore. It doesn’t make sense to win one and gain literally 1/2 of what I loss the previous match. Despite the player having a higher level everything. It doesn’t make sense at all. Get rid of the trophy advantage/disadvantage BS. Or at least make it based on average card level and not trophy amount. It doesn’t make sense and it makes the game so hard to just enjoy and play when constantly put in situations to lose. ### 1/5 — What’s up with the crashing!!! *2026-05-23, version 3.0.3* Since the last last iOS update (pre 5/26), this game freezes and locks up every few games I get in…. Very ANNOYING!!! * Been playing since Apple Arcade. I don’t play games at all, but this game has me hooked. Since growing up since Gen 1 transformers, I’ve always been a die hard fan. Devs got this right on the money and Hasbro definitely put this title in the right hands. I know it’s insanely hard to choose the right bot to add to the game, but keep the cards coming… I’m never dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — FIX RUST CARD!!! *2026-05-18, version 3.0.3* This game is gonna stay a one star review until you fix the rust card. It's completely ridiculous. Either the value of the card needs to go higher than three maybe even up to a five for the spend to use the card or its effectiveness needs to be vastly reduced. It's way too powerful of a card and cost way too little to use it. It's ruining the game!!!! any idiot can drop the rust card and basically wipe out an entire person's army of troops. It takes no skill at all. It's pathetic. Do something about it! ### 1/5 — Fun but hard! *2026-04-14, version 3.0.3* I love the characters but I really don’t like how most players are higher level than me by a substantial amount to the point it’s unfair. ### 1/5 — Most unbalanced game ever *2026-04-07, version 3.0.3* This game the devs gave up on. You literally lose for no reason. Matchmaking is a joke. Pass on this game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awsome! *2026-07-12, version 3.0.3* I enjoyed this alot i wished other companies made a it like this ROLL OUT! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-17, version 3.0.3* The game is sooo good and there are many bots to get its kinda like clash royel but better ### 5/5 — Pas mal *2026-06-02* En ayant marre de Clash Royale c’est une bonne alternative dans le monde Trasnformers. dommage qu il ne soit pas plus connu ### 5/5 — Rex lord *2026-05-25, version 3.0.3* Great!! ### 5/5 — I LOVE THE GAME but I have one thing to mention… *2026-05-16, version 3.0.3* I LOVE playing this game it’s so fun but when I lose I don’t want to risk losing points when you win you earn points so I though that If you lose you still get points but not as much as when winning a battle because I am having a hard time getting to the next arena and that’s why I keep playing Srimage (If that’s how you spell it) and Ai mode. Game devs I hope you consider my thought and have a good one! ### 5/5 — Amazing game, but watch out for the wall. *2026-05-11, version 3.0.3* Amazing game fun to play. But something happens when you hit the tear of 3000 to 3500, still end up playing people with two levels above your characters. The the way it set up is they want you to completely grind and grind and get frustrated no win. Are you just keep buying their deals to try to catch up? ### 5/5 — Great and thank God *2026-05-11, version 3.0.3* Great ### 5/5 — Goated, but grinding *2026-05-10, version 3.0.3* 5.0 ### 5/5 — One of the best clash games, but… *2026-04-29, version 3.0.3* Truly like this game. I think it’s one of the best mobile games. I just wish there were clans to be able to interact with other players/clan members. ### 5/5 — Transfomers *2026-04-20, version 3.0.3* I passed the arena where I was supposed to get bumblebee and I did not get him but the game is fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
