JBS live call-in stream at Eureka Heights features Transformers gameplay with phone troubles and community calls.
Transformers has an Energon Cube system where players can choose to use it (easier mode) or skip it for Cosmic Rust on the next mode (harder but higher reward)
high confidence · JBS and John discussing game mechanics during gameplay; JBS explains: 'the Energon Cube will make that mode easier. But if you wait or pause it, the next mode you can use Cosmic Rust, which gives you harder, it's harder to finish the mode, but you get more bang for the buck on your shots.'
Bumblebee mode in Transformers grants 2x multiplier for 30 seconds, and spelling it twice unlocks 3x scoring for 30 seconds
high confidence · JBS explaining after first game: 'In Bumblebee 2x scoring, if you hit that captive ball enough times to spell Bumblebee again, and then hit it one final time, boom, 3x scoring for 30 seconds.'
