There are other ways around the issue. Let's just say I will be very happy to insta-ban anyone who attempts to cheat in the new game.

we really need to have a hmw code of conduct citing what counts as cheating.

Agreed. Multiple accounts and macros are the main 2 bannable offenses I will have an eye out for.

this may be a stupid question but, what actually is the benefit of having multiple accounts?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Forget that you ever saw that.

1. We have been brainstorming ideas to allow team expansions, though nothing is certain at this point. As of the release of v2, you will still only have 12 members max.
2. Most, if not all of the Movie alts will be available in the new alt pool

Cool shame I'll have to get rid of Steel Runabout nd runamuck for Steel Barricade and the decepticon helicopter whose name I cant for the life of me remember at the moment!

Is there a character limit for the names? I'm not sure that will fit.
His name is Blackout.

I know that now I just forgot when I was writing my post but cheers anyway

In V2 will there be the option to have either your alt or your bot in black with a white outline not a black one otherwise you wont be able to see what it is which would be stupid!

Is this what triple changers will look like Cause Ive just thought if youve got the Quintessons as triple changers there and they WORK cant you apply that to the public in version " or is it one of those hush hush Sector 7 Style Secrets
Cause I wanna Twipple Changa (stamps feet and puts fingers in ears untill Mkall or Omega Sentinel agree )

the more you whine the less you will get it.

And if you plug your ears, how will you hear when they speak to you?

It's called cheating.

I can understand it if we do it continuously. But what if we pay a fee like the auto-CR chamber fee and limit it to a given # of times per week? Just a thought.

Why not allow custom-made icons? We just need to choose an available alt, like dino, tank, jet, etc. for HMW to give it the proper tactics.

I don't really see a need for that at this point in time

The triplechangers are being used by the quints for two reasons:
1) it is a test to see if it works without blowing up the game
2) The quints need triplechanger tech to further their nefarious goals

That's how I'd like to see them implemented, but sadly the database cannot support that idea at present

Can anyone tell me what's that Protoform robot mode

Freeload wrote:Can anyone tell me what's that Protoform robot mode

Yeah, i wanna know what that is too.....

ah ya i had not noticed that but now that i see it here i also would like to know what that is about??

It's a placeholder. There will be an option to select an icon for your characters' robots modes, similar in appearance to the alt mode icons but purely cosmetic (no effect on the characters stats). The Protoform Robot Mode is the equivalent of Action Master in that no icon has been selected, as the option to select an icon has not yet been implemented. That's where the icon will be when the feature works.

Good point
And cheers Mkall for clearing it up

Will the Preds/Maxis get their own forums like Darkmount/Iacon or whatever the Bot one is called?

I think it would be unfair if they didn't. So yes they would

What about their own mods then? Seeing as how we have 2 bot mods, 1 bot admin and only 1 Con mod I doubt that'll happen either. Even though it's fair too.

Staff members are chosen by their abilities, not by their faction. If it turns out we need more staffers and someone catches our eye who happens to be a pred, then we bring that poster on board. Also, one of the bot staffers will be going maximal, so that may help balance things out a little
