No, I asked every Autobot I knew to avoid Pred missions for a week and not share our XP with you.

And that's exactly why the autobots are tools. "I challenge you to a duel." "Run away! Avoid them all like the giant pussies we are!"

You realize that by 1) hopping on the 'Autobot-bashing'-bandwagon and 2) generalizing an entire faction and all its players, you are the tool, right?

Gotta love irony

On V2...

Will gestalts encompass 5 or 6 Transformers like in G1 canon, or will we be able to create our own special gestalt teams with more or less than 5 or 6 parts?

No problem. I got cable internet back, so I can play games where people can't hide because someone offered them friendly competition.

Everyone needs friends, but Woody wasn't sold on the idea either.

I loathe anything post Beast Machines (haven't seen Animated yet). So, no.

However, my team has a gestalt that's made out of pretty much all the Assaultbots (11 of them to be precise :-P

), hence my question.

But it's no big deal. The core consists of 6 Transformers, so canon is fine too.

Woudln't the core be 5 (ignoring Devastator)? I think all other "big dude" gestalts--Superion, Defensor, Predaking, etc.--were 5 robots in one. Unless I'm overlooking someone. Eh, I probably am. Six would be easier, though, since you could make 2 gestalts and not have any leftovers. Do we get the option of making one of the gestalt members a huge freaking cod piece?

:shock:

Whoa, I'm getting a headache looking at Sharping's and Wingspan's names almost side by side. My brain is trying to switch sharp for span and vice versa. If I see Sharpwing's or Wingspan's name come up again, I'm liable to just freak out and start shooting you all with Internet bullets.

Monstructor, Landcross, Devastator, Raiden, (Sixwing, Sixturbo, Sixliner, Sixtrain,) and Liokaiser were all six-part gestalts.

With a core of 6 I was referring to Devastator.

Technically you could say powerlinking began in G1 ...

Several of my guys actually powerlink... sort off

But those shows are a vast improvment on the G1 cartoons (apart from Energon, that was jsut aweful).

Improvement?

Those tf shows should be buried as deep as possible. At least the earlier shows didn't try to mimic G1, RID and AEC made newer and newer Optimus Primes and all of them had Megatron-Galvatron conversions... (At least their american counterparts, they say the japanese ones are a bit better)

yeah, rid armada energon et al. sucked. oddly enough i like the new show :???:

so will rank have any use in the new version? just able to wear better armor is pretty lame. any new tactics based on rank like a "rally the troups" type thing?

It has to - if Intelligence has a secondary (or tertiary?) affect Rank certainly will at least have a tactic. Multi-Repair/Inspire per Tammuz's suggestions?

So you must hate the newer Gundam series, Marvel 1602, and Ultimate marvel, the Transformers Comics and the movie, and pretty much everything that's a AU or re-imagining of something else.

in IDW's comics, prime is prime and everyone else looks better/cooler G1-selves. IDW deserves massive praise for this.

I'd love to see a movie or tv version of the IDWverse. It'll never happen, but I'd love to see it.

With IDW basically pitching the Masterpiece/Universe toys I would settle for a webisode of such material.

IDW has had some realli good and interesting things since taking over the francise but personally I hate some of the IDW revisions for G1ers. Bumblebee in particular is an ongoing source of anger, and i won't even touch on the whole sunstreaker/headmaster bullocks.

which brings me to an on topic question: Will we be seeing any head/power/target masters in V2?
