Hasbro Inc., Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games real-time combat strategy game Transformers: Earth Wars for mobile devices. Published by Backflip Studios (DragonVale, SpellFall, Paper Toss) and developed by Space Ape Games (Rival Kingdoms, Samurai Siege), Transformers: Earth Wars features hundreds of iconic characters from the Transformers Universe brought to life with 3D animation. Transformers: Earth Wars is available now as a free download on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and on Google Play for Android devices.

"The Transformers franchise is one of the most iconic in the world, so it is exciting to include these characters in such a compelling mobile gaming experience," said Julian Farrior, CEO of Backflip Studios in a press release. "We are thrilled to partner with Hasbro and Space Ape Games to launch Transformers: Earth Wars and think that Transformers fans are going to love teaming up with their favorite Autobots or Decepticons in these highly engaging mobile battles."

Transformers: Earth Wars is inspired by Hasbro's Transformers Generations Prime Wars Trilogy. Players must choose to fight with Optimus Prime and the Autobots or Megatron and the Decepticons in a battle to decide the fate of planet Earth. Once allegiance has been sworn, players assemble a powerful team of playable characters, raid enemy bases for Energon stockpiles, and construct the Space Bridge to add reinforcements from Cybertron, all while playing in real-time against other players around the globe.

Transformers: Earth Wars was worked on by beloved Transformers creators, includingdialogue written by Transformers comic book legends Simon Furman and voice acting by Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime, and Frank Welker, the original voice of Megatron.

"Transformers: Earth Wars offers players an engaging storyline and incredible gameplay experience," said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President, Digital Gaming and Corporate Development at Hasbro. "The game harnesses the unique strengths and abilities of hundreds of characters from Transformers lore, which really helps it to stand above existing real-time combat strategy games and delivers on the Transformers promise of More than Meets the Eye."
