Can't believe it took 2 of us over 1 minute to take a single con from 1% to 0%

I'm disappointed in my little Gel Shark Not a single tactic used. He's lucky the event will be called in soon, or he'd be in for some nasty punishment...

Speaking of, shouldn't we be on the hunt by now?

Did any of the Autobots get a turn in that battle?

we did not

"Thundertron hits Steven Strong rescue with a Molecular Canceller Nega-Gun"

Was there any truth to the idea that certain weapons can cause stun?

While the Autobots were finishing off the hunt, the Howlers and the Wreckers went on a side quest to find the one Autobot who could save us all!

OPTIMUS PRIME!!!!


We even snuck into a secret meeting between the evil leader of the Decepticons, Megatron, who definitely noticed the presence of the Autobots!




Our fearless leader was not afraid to confront the enemy head on!

“Your time is coming, Megatron! As we speak your minions are being captured!”

Megatron was stirred but not shaken!


“Security!!”

But we vanished before the sec-cons arrived, leaving Megatron wondering how we infiltrated his meeting!



You got nothin, Megatron!



These pictures are my personal property and don’t leave Iacon.

Looks like you had fun

I had a blast! I don’t know about Jack though. You know he’s the “All business, no fun. That’s the way this ship is run.” type LOL.

Lol don’t you add to that mess, WreckP. you know i laugh occasionally.

about the “private pictures” thing: there are Autobots who were introduced to this game because they are friends with cons on a personal basis, so even if your pictures aren’t shared in other threads on this site, they may still be shared in private, so keep that in mind when posting things that you want to stay “between Autobots”.

cute story by the way.

@SoL, that’s a new one for me. i know there are weapons that have “stun” in their name, but i never heard the rumor that they actually perform that action, so i feel comfortable saying that it’s likely just a myth. i highly doubt weapons can stun, especially a level 11 with maxed strength, endurance and rank. which are all things that mitigate tactic and weapons damage and negate the stun effect of high strength ramming attacks.

@steve... damn. that was brutal. it will be fun trying to return the favor. oops, i meant it will be serious business trying to return the favor.

Hey hey hey I’m just trying to get you to post more. You can’t be a moderator if you never talk Thank you for the heads up about posts ng pictures. I wish I would have asked before submitting them, but I wanted to surprise you. Thank you for the compliment lol

it was a pleasant surprise, even though it was obvious that you were taking pictures of me lol.

I was hoping your hat would cover the eyes on the back of your head. Guess not lol

I have no idea where that comes from, but no, it simply is not true.
This is how you build a weapon.

Out of curiosity Burn, what other options aside from 'pysical' can you set the "damage type" to?

ThunderThruster wrote:Out of curiosity Burn, what other options aside from 'pysical' can you set the "damage type" to?

Phsyical
Energy
Flame
Heat
Acid

The weapon class can be I or II.

I have no idea what difference any of it makes. Once the tournament is over I'll share that to the general public so if people want to try different damage types we can, because at the moment ALL weapon types are Physical except for one.

Much obliged.

It would be interesting to see what and how some of those different settings may work. But as you say something to look at after the tournament.

Oh, yeah, if you can play with that, Burn, that'll definitely be a way to make thing interesting;
Flamethrowers that deal 'Flame' damage, Acid spray that's actually acid, swords and axes with physical damage and laser weapons with energy...

Though considering that they're so similar, I do wonder how different 'flame' and 'heat' damage types would be... hm...

Now I see, so much for Poisonous Paralyzer Fluid actually slowing someone down.
I would also hazard a guess that the different damage types were never fully coded.

So cool!

WreckP and i have been experimenting with Sharkticon Prime to see if the Bite tactic is, as described by others, “just Ram renamed”.

turns out, Bite does NOT have the same properties as Ram, even if it behaves a lot like Ram. Ram removes a sizeable amount of health from an opponent, and when performed on an opponent who has less strength than the rammer, it stuns the them for at least ONE turn. Bite, on the other hand, does NOT have the same stun effect that Ram does, even though it still removes a sizeable portion of health from a bitten enemy.

below is one example of Bite not stunning like Ram does on an opponent with lesser strength. there are other examples as well but this was the most recent, which prompted me to write a post sharing that info with others.

Oh hey Jack you forgot to mention that it could be a time limit for ram too because it’s almost a minute before the next attack happens.

That comes down to randomness based on what alts, tactics, stats etc are in the mission.

There was a time though when the stun factor of ram was higher on some alts than others. But that was corrected years ago.

ive taken https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... r_id=84695 to level 7 so no more 4-6 missions for me
sorry my fellow autobots
