You, sir, have no level threes or lower. Go back to your 'Gentlemen's Club' and drool over Erica Campball.

Edit: Off the ball, no. Off my rocker, yes. Let's see, it's War Within JETfire, Classics JETfire, hm.... Do you see where I'm going with this, oh-poisonous-first-one? :-P

Fine. I don't care whether you're joking or not. I've had enough of crap like this. So have your precious little thread. As far as i'm concerned all three level threads are pointless.

Burn shouldn't have to go anywhere.

And Skyfire was the character in the show, not Jetfire. Skyfire never got his own toy

Exactly, Skyfire appeared in the series in one major and several minor roles, Jetfire appeared in the comics, had the toys, and had the Armada, Energon and Cybertron reincarnations. Jetfire beats Skyfire hands down.

But Skyfire is still better then Jetfire :P

The comics don't mean anything when you grew up on the cartoon.

Armada, Energon, and Cybertron are not related to G1.

Skyfire is G1 and RiD

What's the difference between the two? Isn't Jetfire some kind of Skyfire imitation?

You are right

Skyfire is the O.G.
Jetfire is the wannabe

Skyfire was in the G1 Cartoon, and didn't get a toy with that name until the RiD line(could have been Machine Wars now that I think about it). But it wasn't an homage or even in his likeness.

Jetfire was a Macross figure, saddled into the Transformers. Jetfire was also the character's name in the comics. But in my eyes they are not the same character, they have different origins. Skyfire was a scientist with Starscream before the war in the cartoon, and in the comics Jetfire was built by Shockwave

We should probably get back on topic so sumo's thread doesn't get locked though. I am by no means an expert on Transformers, so if I didn't answer your question you can post a thread in the TFGD.

Though you gotta admit, Skyfire vs. Jetfire would make an interesting grudge match on a TF version of CDM.... :-?

The show was genius.

Now I am going to post something relevant lol



http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/character.php?character_id=46207

The lil Con that could. She's struggling.

For some reason she has always been the worst member of my team. Which is no good because she is one of my favorites. I thought about being cheap and switching her with Dyno Maximus so he could just ram his way back up the ranks, but I don't want to do that.

Her current setup is the standard setup I guess. But does anyone have any pointers to help her?

Actually my bottom 5 are really slacking >.<

I just looked at my team page again more closely.

http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/team_view.php?id=12889

Any Pointers?

...Hm... What does she have in the way of Tactics? It doesn't show them when I look and I want to be sure to judge accurately.

4 STR isn't high enough to be brawling at level 2. An effective brawler should have at least 6 STR. You're just not doing enough damage to make an efficient use of your attacks at 4 STR. If you don't want to invest that heavily into Strength, I suggest buying 2 FP and using a Dol if you have one, or a 2BPSS if you don't.

Strafe is very weak at lower than about 5 points, especially if you're carrying a Dol. Your Dol attacks will always do more damage than your Strafe attacks. Generally, I don't recommend bothering with STF until the higher end of Level 2. A good build at your XP is 4 SPD, 1 CRG, 2 FP, with your next upgrade being a point of STR.

If you're insistent on the STF, try 4 SPD, 2 FP and 4 STF, and then make your next few upgrades being a 5th point of STF then concentrating on CRG. Just keep in mind that the STF will actually be holding you back.
