Transformers Wave 2 now in the Armory and Premium Shop

[Varian_Dorn]

Yeeeees, the second part of the Hasbro colab is here. And once again the camos and voiceovers are nicely done.

 

Major thumbs up for Starscream - he just feels right, sounds right, looks cool. And the planes on the Richthofen are all changed to F-15 seeker jets coloured like Thundercracker and Skywarp. Haven't had that much fun with the MvR  in while 

 

Thanks WG, well done. Especially the art department.

 

 

P.S.: I know there are some out there who, for one reason or another, don't like this colab. To you I just say: turn off the proper switches in your settings so you won't see or hear this stuff and leave people like me to enjoy it for what it is: some colorful, harmless fun.

I almost forgot to add some pics.

all i know is, if that's one single transformer, he's the baddest mf out of those around 4 sure

Here is a replay of the Richthofen F-15 camo being used in Training Room, for those who would like to have more info before they buy.

it's a pity that WG mixed first and second wave stuff in the containers...

Yeah, a "pity"... just like the fact that you cannot buy the new commanders individually...

which is nothing new anymore and a big reason why i rather spend my money on AL stuff in AL itself than spend it on gambling to get the AL commander I want in WoWs, where you most likely pull a ton of dublicates of the one you don't want or need...

Like an idiot, I bought 40x of the new containers expecting the new skins and commanders to be in them.

 

I know I should have checked first, but putting the new items in the old containers at the bottom of the page and promoting the new containers at the top of the page without the new items is different from every recent promotion.

 

I've only opened 10 before realising my mistake, so will ask support for a partial refund for my 30 unopened loot boxes - which is a long shot.

 

EDIT: Support swapped my 30 unopened Anniversay containers for Cybertron Containers. Got one skin, two captains (Megatron and Hot-rod), 10x 30K CXP and the rest evenly split between the flags and 10K FXP. Ended up buying the new bundle as well - gambling for the captains isn't worth it when you can dupes of the old ones.

Business as usual. Not to say that they are violating EU legislature on consumer protection laws/false advertising as they are claiming discounts on items that cannot be bought separately so the correctness of the discount (final price) cannot be checked/evaluated.

 

Typical WG ...

Well, actually you can buy them ob your own. The TO spent 24000 dbl for 40 containers. Likewise, he could have bought three perma camos for 8000 dbl each and get commanders from the collection for free...

Funny that...

[Varian_Dorn]

I had saved up enough dubloons to buy the set of new camos and commanders which is directly available as one bundle. And while the commanders sadly are not available for direct purchase individually the camos are. Plus there are two mission chains up and ready in which you can get all the patches and several containers for free.

 

Not ideal, and I truely disapprove of not being able to get at least individual sets of the respective commanders and camos.... but then again, in my case, I was always going to pick up all the new camos and commanders as a whole, and as I said, that is possible.

If you were willing to spend that much money, why didn't you just add a little more and go for the full set of new camos and commanders directly? I'm sorry, but this seems to me like 1.) a slight lack of attention when reading contents and 2.) an odd affection for loot containers.

well no ... because there is NO price on a single commander ...

Normally, I like to gamble to see if I can get what I want for less money than the bundle, assuming that I can buy the items I want separately if I don't get them in the boxes. Sometimes it works, other times not so much, but you also get camos, flags, FXP, CXP as well so it's usually not too rough when things go wrong.

 

I am a Transformers fan, and like the camos and captains way more than the Anime ones that we typically receive, so wanted one of everything. If it was 4x skins, 4x captains in their own boxes I would have gambled on the boxes, and bought the captains or skins separately if required. Mixing the old and new captains together, and allowing dupes of them reduces the chance or getting all 4 new captains in boxes too much, so I would have just bought main bundle had I spent the time to understand what I was spending money on.

 

Support kindly exchanged my unopened containers for Cybertron containers, I didn't do so well on those containers and ended up buying the main bundle to just get everything. I would have preferred my doubloons back from support, but the exchange was fair so I'm not arguing.

 

I'm spending my own money, and understand the risks with loot boxes, and gamble responsibly within my budget - I accept it's a reading comprehension failure on my end, but the presentation of the promotion does make you think that the new items are in the new boxes and the old ones are in the old boxes - like Black Friday and Halloween boxes normally work. It's been an expensive day for me, but don't worry I'm not going hungry because of it ;)

[Varian_Dorn]

I see where you're coming from. Glad it - somewhat - worked out for you in the end. Enjoy the new toys!

 

And for good measure, two pictures of my second favourite of the new set:

[Aethervoxx]

My wallet is firmly shut. This stuff is strictly for children & younger teens (who are still children).

I guess WG knows it's true target audience cause it sure isn't the naval history adult fan.

I mean

For many of us, our childhood is transformers. 

So having collabs that bring good camos that actually work with a proper commander voiceover and the character moving around the ship, adds a bit of variety to camo selection and appeases us Transformer nerds. Its a colored and fun event, and the ones who want to buy stuff with spare dubs, can buy them

 

If you wanna keep your wallet shut, fine.

This 'collab' is nothing but a money grab by WG (which is neither good nor bad, in itself) as no one has to spend money if they don't want to.

The proper spelling is 'because', not some useless alteration to the english language that simply shows someone who can't enunciate/spell proper words.

Lastly, as a fan of historical warships and their proper illustrative depiction, I have every right to say this transformer collaboration is 'utterly rediculous'.

[Khaba_Gandalf]

german non-existant CV launching US cold War planes + fighting robots. wtf! 

 

i mean i am not the target group because as a kid I was a saber rider and Classic Battletech guy, so I'm not the target group anyway. but why not pick Midway?

Good thing you can hide it then isn't it! 

 

So everyone who wants a bit of humour or just something different can have it and you can have your vintage WW2 experience with non of the "utterly ridiculous" stuff in it. (well except Subs and CV's can't hide those)

Only 1 skin out of 30 containers? Wow... it's not worth to even try then. Camos are the real thing in these, cpts are just fun addons imho.
