Why would it be cool to see giant robots that turn into jets battle what look like trash cans?

Salt shakers actually. The Daleks were modelled after salt shakers.

Or at least that's what I heard.

There'd better be some Spaceballs reference in there too!

MegaMaid versus Metroplex.

As far as I'm concerned, HMWv1 is plauged by crossover material, seeing we have altmodes from tons of series, that if we were going to take a "transformers only" stance we would just piss off people anyways.

This is a game for us to have fun with, so make it fun. Having crossover missions and/or special events will add oppertunities and enjoyment that will benifit rather than limit our options.

[peer-pressure]Plus with Transformers retconing Go-Bots into it's multiverse, and GIJoe retconing MASK into it's toyline, why not crossover? Everybody's doing it.[/peer-pressure]

I know, I only found out yesterday when I saw the figure in the new Toyfare. I looked it up after getting back to the office and my jaw hit the floor that I had missed something that cool coming out. not surprising seeing how little we see in these parts for GIJoe

Needless to say, I have one in my BBTS:PoL, ready to ship out once they get the Mickey Primes. I hope they do a few more characters, because I'm geeking out over this.

Not yet atleast, but it's a step in the right direction. If there is a strong enough reaction to this I could see them doing more figures and hopefully some of the vehicles later.

Hopefully at that point they won't do them as convention specials.

I don't think that anyone cares about previous ranks when V2 comes along (and that comes from a bot who's fighting for 11th.)

while it would be cool to keep xp, i think we've all come to accept the fact we gotta start over.

Let me clarify for you.

As most know already, HMW2 will be a completely new game. Everyone will be starting over and all XP and Energon will go back to zero.

A nice level battlefield.

HMWv2 is NOT Gran Turismo.

Plus the two databases aren't compatible.

But if someone wants to enter thousands of xp amounts manually in the space of 24 hours ...
(It's still not going to happen so don't bother volunteering)

Gran Turismo (like Suikoden) allows you to import your licenses (basically your level) from one game to the next. Without having to retake the driving tests. Suikoden allows you to import certain characters from one game to the next. Crossing generations in the case of Suikoden 1 and 2's characters into Suikoden 3.

That could be hard to do.

However if the images we have had are being kept the same that it shouldn't be too much harder to possibly alter them to two or three layers so a bit more customization would be possible.
