New Transformers mobile game on the way from Glu

It’s fair to say we were a bit lukewarm about the Transformers game that Glu Mobile released last year. It wasn’t bad, as such, but it didn’t live up to our expectations.

Thankfully, the company’s having a second crack at it. At least, we assume it is. Click here to check out a photo on someone’s Flickr account, taken at the recent BotCon Transformers convention in Ohio.

It’s a flyer for a new Transformers game from Glu, called Transformers G1 Awakening. It promises turn-based strategic battles on Earth and Cybertron, with up to 23 playable characters.Oh, and full-screen battle scenes, and two game modes: Story and Skirmish. According to the flyer, it’s due out this autumn.

We’re quite excited because it’s a surprise to us. Presumably Glu wanted to build some buzz among hardcore Transformers fans before officially announcing the game, which sounds like a sensible strategy.Rest assured, we’ll have more details when more of the game, er, meets our robot-loving eyes.
