Transformers Angry Birds

I've put off updating the app given Sharky's experiences with the increase costs of unlocking things after updating.

Last night I found that my characters had been used in an event, something that often gives you a free crystal or two.

Somehow though I had earnt 1750 million crystals!

With that many free crystals I was able to fully upgrade all my characters to their max levels and unlock areas without enough coins. It basically unlocked the rest of the game for me.

And then this morning I open it up and the game has been reset to the beginning. All progress, areas opened, characters unlocked and levelled up -- all gone!

I have no interest in doing all that again, unless they give me enough crystals to get me back to where I was before the glitch.

I've deleted the app.

I've deleted the app.

I am considering it. It's no longer fun with all the missiles that are actually physically impossible to shoot down and you get punished for upgrading characters.

I shouldn't have to grind for 3 days to get 60,000 coins to unlock the 10th or so character, when the game isn't fun it isn't getting played.

Was considering getting a Heatwave or something when they were released but now there is no way.

OK, so if you haven't updated to the latest version of AB TF I suggest you don't. I'm getting preroll ads before each stage now and it's really pissing me off. I might cancel my preorder of the toys from BBTS because of this.

EDIT: The amount of ads I'm getting has dropped off today, hope it stays that way. I hope when you use the toys with the game they turn off pre-roll ads totally.

Downloaded it today on Android and already about to remove it

I'm quite enjoying playing it in small bursts - a fun little distraction

Gotten back into it a bit but now I've got a lovely glitch where every time I transform into vehicle mode the screen goes black. The vehicle and ally counters are still useable and recharge but the screen is otherwise unresponsive. Looks like I'll be waiting for the next patch before I start up again.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

Are the toys a benefit to the game, as in, does it mean you don't need to buy the characters that the toys can teleport into the game (with their square barcode)?

I bought some of them yesterday, but have no interest in the game... but don't want to waste the barcodes if there is a value to them (like the codes packed in with the Construct-Bots and BotShots).
The barcode squares are really tiny though (the matrix thingy is actually a magnifying glass), so I don't think they'd be too easy to scan an email.
Besides, I wonder if the barcode for one character (eg Bumblebee) is the same for every Bumblebee... or if every Bumblebee has a different one to prevent kids from sharing, to force them to buy the toys that their friends have if they want that character in the game.
