Glu Mobile is bringing Optimus Prime, Megatron, and the rest of the Cybertron gang to the App Store in a new strategy game very soon. Best of all, these are the Transformers as you remember them. Glu has licensed the original Transformers – known as G1 – so the ultra-complex robots from the movies are nowhere to be seen.
Transformers G1: Awakening is based on a previously released mobile game. However, judging by the first screen that Glu slipped out, the visuals have been significantly improved to accommodate the new (and higher-res) screen.
The original mobile game is a turn-based strategy game that pits the Autobots and Decepticons against one another for control of earth. Each Transformer has different strengths and weaknesses that are put into play as you skirmish over territory. When you try to occupy the same node on the map, the game smashes to a scripted combat scene that pits stat against stat; it's not entirely unlike Advance Wars or Military Madness in this respect. But victory requires more than just robot stats. There are other conditions that affect battle outcomes, such as whether or not another Transformer from the same team is nearby.
