For Hasbro: What FTF resurrected in me...

So, I joined FTF after leaving MCOC. I liked Transformers as a kid, but preferred G.I. Joe and Star Wars. I came to this game for 2 main reasons: Kabam and the Forging Mechanism. The fact that it was a Transformers game was a pleasant surprise, though I never liked the Micheal Bay movies.
Since joining I have:
1. Watched The Prime Wars Trilogy
2. Bought the IDW Trade Paperbacks for Transformers
3. Bought my 4 year old son at least 10 1-step Transformers.
4. Bought him both Cyberverse Ultimate Prime and Megatron
5. Bought him 5 official Transformers Shirts
6. Bought myself several Transformers Tees
7. Watched several voice actor panels at Comic Cons related to Transformers
8. Watched Cyberverse Cartoon with my son (and DVR’d it)
9. Watched Bumblebee Movie
10. Downloaded the 1986 Film on Amazon Prime
I never would have returned to Transformers had it not been for Kabam and this game.
I’m sure there are other stories, much like my own.
Hasbro and Kabam please continue support this game. I suspect as others continue to look beyond MCOC, they will find their way here. As Transformers continues to move away from the Bay Films there will be more organic growth. And the unmeasurable is the sales of toys, movie tickets, other merchandise, and ratings bumps as a result of this small but dedicated population.

And i didn't spend 1¢ on Transformers between 2007 to 2017.
(My TF purchases are 1983-1995, thanks DAD!, and 1999-2002. Bought the 2007 Decepticons before watching the movie despite only liking Bonecrusher, Brawl and Blackout's designs)
Impact.
So Hasbro, Kabam, if you're reading this...
Everytime i got a 4* version of an F2F character,
I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THE TOY
Thanks for sharing.
The game has brought me back to my childhood and has contributed to the following.
1. Strengthened my love for transformers.
2. Made me watch and appreciate Beast Wars franchise
3. Watched all the Power of the Prime series.
4. All the Power of the Primes Optimus at TRU as well as Jazz etc. in multiples for me and my kids
5. Transformers prime series which surprised me on how good it was
6. Bumblebee movie tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids
7. Trip to Orlando Universal just to check out Transformers Rides as well as buying a ton of merchandise
8. Got my 2 boys and Brother in law and a few friends into the game and we have spent a good amount of money for in game purchases.
9. Bought the IDW comics to catch up on everything I missed story wise.
10. Very Angry SO's.....
Kabam/Hasbro.
Please continue to support this game as it is probably the best mobile game that I have played and don't mind investing time in on multiple accounts. Design and premise is awesome even though there are complaints but it keeps us coming back for more.
And we've ordered a 2019 Audi A7 in Maroon, with an asymmetrical GOLD STRIPE running from the front to the rear.
Guess who he's called.
(Can't afford the white Lamborghini, Grey Ferrari or Yellow Formula car, though!)
Dead End! Amazing @BlackRazak !
I drive a black Escolade... Stockade maybe?
Man, you've got PLENTY of cons to choose from.
- Crankcase
- Berserker
- Dreadbot
- Hatchet
- Crowbar
Or you can go all hipster and call him...
Trailbreaker
#MotormasterFTW
1-Watch Combiner Wars
2-More Transformers Toys
3-I knew many more bots
4-I delved into the history of the Quintessons and the brothers, Unicron and Primus.
5-I have read some hqs. of Transformers.
6-I have made friends who like Transformers.
Even if FTF ends forever, it will be a part of me and will always be in my heart.
1. Scannable/coded Bee movie tickets.
Win a G1 Bee with 3+ proof of purchase. Both the movie and Kabam profit.
2. In-package SIEGE/Bee Movie/PotP vouchers for in-game content and discounts. Hasbro, Kabam both profit.
3. Reach AM/Arena milestones to win a FREE Bee movie merch pack when you BUY a Bee movie ticket. Kabam and Paramount: $$$
4. Lucky draw during crystal arenas to win an exclusive Bee toy.
5. Complete (easier) monthly tasks 100% to catch premier of Bumblebee.
Those suggestions took me 30 seconds to think of.
I may not be some whale gamer, but i notice great value when i see it.
It's my 16th anniversary with the wifey soon, so i bought a lil something to please her, my 3 boys AND me.
A full 20% off MSRP.
Color?
A pale YELLOW.
Will post pics when i get the chance!
I'm gonna add on to @BlackRazak 's previous post and suggest some other marketing ideas.
1; Get IDW comics to make a Mini-Series based on the game. IDW, Hasbro, and Kabam profit.
2: If that won't do, put advertisements in IDW's comic issues, promoting the game. There could even be a redeemable code that allows you to unlock in game items.
3: Make Bot Spotlight trailers. Nothing hypes fans more than a trailer and it would be awesome if each individual character got one. Provide some iconic Transformers voice-actors to the voices for fan enjoyment.
4: New Transformers disk sets (Bumblebee for Blu-Ray) come with scannable code that allows you to unlock a certain character. Hasbro and Kabam profit.
5: Advertise Forged to Fight on MCOC. It's a big market over there, so why not try interest some players to join here.
Also, one mistake Kabam made that would have made them more money was not making Megatronous exclusive. If he was exclusive, it would have raised his value, prompting players to go to high stakes to obtain him.
Even my boys are puzzled as to why there are no Cyberverse toy ads when you click the 5 Energon button.
Or Bumblebee movie ads.
They're 7 and 8.
You think non-P2P players have no impact on this game?
I'd gladly shell out $20 to buy my kids the toys being advertised!
That's fantastic providing it's a toy that can only be bought by players of the game so it can be traced back to this, and then some form of profit share that would be adequate would be agreed with Kabam.
Veey long winded way of getting money back to them when there is a simple and conventional method available
1. Reinforced my love for Transformers.
2. Gave me new knowledge of the members of both the Deception and Autobot factions.
3. Put the Maximals and Predacons under a new spotlight.
4. Put a few Transformers -- Sideswipe, Motormaster, Mirage, Bludgeon and Jetfire -- under a spotlight.
5. Gave me some good laughs, and over a variety of nicknames to call a Human Commander.
6. A small sense of unity among people.
Gosh darn, this game is good.
