How're the robot modes coming along?
How are these intended to be implemented?
Will they too be coloured silhouttes?
Will there be a select number from which we can choose, or will it be a case of 'arms a + legs b + wings'; you know, like the old 'design your own alternator' thing?

You'll choose them like altmodes, however unlike altmodes I intend to hanve them all be universally available for all sides... for now
Will they too be coloured silhouttes?
Yes, just to stay within the theme of the game

Sorry, but no. Those things take too long to program and debug. I think we'd rather that OS spend time working on other things more critical to v2

There are several ways:
1. If you wait until the mission ends, just click on the "In a mission" line under your cons name
2. If you are reloading the page, just click on the "GAME" button on top of Seibertrons page (forth in the line on the site) -> that takes you to HMWs main page, you can see there the last six missions, just click on their titles (for example: "Destroy Wheelie") and you can see the log
3. On the bottom of your characters main page, you can see the last five missions your con did.
And one more thing, the traditional HMW greeting:

That's something that OS could do, but it would ruin the surprise

yeah I have had patience ever since it was declared the reset would happen by the end of July, but I'll wait some more, and it should be worthwhile. I have a little extra time to build up xp before it happens.Great job OS and Mkall.

I don't know if somebody has asked this question yet (because the search isn't working)
Are Maximals and Autobots rival? Can you have both in your team? I sure hope so... If not I'm a little screwed...

No, Maximals and Autobots are completely separate factions, and there's a chance that they may even conflict at times. You can't have two factions on your team at once. Sorry dude.
You can always use the bios and state a character is affiliated with a different faction, though...

And we may have Subfaction Icons in v2 (though I can't remember if we were talking for your entire team or on a bot-to-bot basis). Hopefully, the factions will have subfaction icons paralleling the major-factions, to cover teams of Maximals with characters like Grimlock, or Decepticons that have Autobot defectors, etc.

That won't help much with the alt-modes. I might as well redesing my characters to fit a single faction. I'll probably be better of in the Maximals and pick the few vehicules I need there.

That's what DemonWolf was telling me. Some of his Maximals are Bots. So that some of his fighters can be in battles that take place in Cities. A few of my Heavy Hitters are still going to be X-CONs. One is going to be a X-PRED. So if the bots can have something to show their old factions with a line or an X on it would be great.

Yeah well me and my 3 roommates are always using each others bots in bios. Actually we're all rewriting the bios for all of our bots. To use in V2 when it arrives.

I'm a brand new player, so I won't have much to lose when V2 is implemented. As such I'm really looking forward to it. I'm just using this time before the reset to get used to the game and how it works. I have a few questions about the reset that I haven't seen on the first page or in subsequent posts (though I haven't read all 39 pages).
1) Will team and character performance history (i.e. your mission & arena percentages and kills) be wiped clean? This would have benefits for me at least - being a newbie my success rate isn't great thus far!
2) Given that altmodes are being wiped, and that names can always be changed (depending on availability) and bios always rewritten, does that mean each character "slot" could potentially be restarted as a completely different kind of bot; enabling me to design a team from scratch (with a little more forethought this time round)? This would have to be the case if we're going to be given the chance to switch factions, surely?
3) As everyone will suddenly have around 12 LV-0 characters and €2500 burning a hole in their pocket, will there be any basic weapons to buy after the first 5 minutes of V2 being up, given how hard it is to buy them even now? I realise this isn't hugely significant in the long term and most basic weapons are not that great anyway, but having one character with an x-ray laser, I can definitely see the difference it makes. Basic weapons will be the only thing to separate characters in those crazy early days, and the only thing to spend your money on till one of your chars accrues at least 1000XP. Will there be enough to go round, or am I just seeing things from a skewed perspective, (seeing as none of my characters have any Firepower or Skill yet)?
I just wanted finish by saying thanks for making such a great game, and keep up the good work!
