Damn!  I step out for a week and miss all of this great banter!  I am going to the UK on a business trip in a few weeks and have been swamped getting some software ready before that trip.
I may not have time to be active on the boards and such, but I have done my fair share of winning battles for the Autobot cause.  Selfish or not, it helps the faction to have strong and elite players.  Here are a few examples of when my bots turned the tide:

Supercruise 20xp last man standing at 1% 
I also love how alldarker said he employs the "RoS style of play".  I have a play style named after me?  Awesome.  I thought it was called common sense:  Build the toughest bots that you can and have them kick ass.
But seriously, I wish I had time to contribute more in some way.  But, in my defense, does it not bring encouragement to the my faction when the top 5 warriors are Autobots?  I remember back when the game was reset the top 25 to 50 warriors were all Decepticons for a very long time.
Am I the Autobot's savior?  What do I think?  I think I will keep my opinion to myself.  I get enough flame as it is.  I voted for hippie kid.
