The Energon Pub

hey i just wanted to see how evryones setups differ from mine and on what playlist i use scout on conquest with battle pistol and shotty, cloak and mark target, suprise atk, explosive capasitor, health matrix....what about you guys?

EDT: by playlist i meant what game you play like PS, conquest, TDM, DM, CTE.
not the music lol

Scientist
Heal Ray
Neutron Assault Rifle

Skills
Drain
Spawn Sentry

Upgrades
Heal Sentry
Leech (increases Drain heal rate)
Explosive Capacitor (get an extra grenade)

Skin
Autobots - Silverbolt: Red and Blue
Decepticons - Seeker: White on White

Playlist
'86 Movie Soundtrack
Lord Vital
Decepz (Lord Vital, Headstrong, Cyclonis, and the others)

That's my main Scientist. He makes the other team so Pringles. Curleh mustache in full effect. Nothing pisses the other side off more than getting healed to death. Or for a scientist to get the Drain/Leech, Heal Grenade, Heal Sentry, Heal Ray, Melee spam combo of death going. You can almost see the anger form on the other side if you roll with your team with that setup.

I have a few character builds I use.

My Scout is named Smoke.
Weapons- Scatter Blaster, Null Ray
Abilities- Cloak, Mark Target
Skills- Surprise Attack, Ghost, and Weapon Stabilizer.
I need to edit the skills a bit, but that's the scout I mainly use.

My Soldier is named Tankor.
Weapons- Scrapmaker, Rocket Launcher
Abilities- Ammo Beacon, Whirlwind
Skills- I don't remember off hand actually.

I have two scientists. Still trying to build one I like. Leader I don't have a set one either.

I've been trying to make two builds. One for Conquest and one for Team Deathmatch. Those are the only modes I play.

Conquest

Scout:
Sniper Rifle
Scatter Blaster

Abilities:
Cloak
Mark Target

Skills:
Ghost
Marking Chip
Weapon Stabilizer

Leader:

Weapons:
Ion Blaster
Fusion Cannon

Abilities:
Moleculon Bomb
Warcry

Body:
Autobots- Ratchet, gold
Decepticons- Onslaught, green and blue

Fun tip: If you throw the Moleculon bomb at the right time, you can end that short "can't fire your weapons" period in Warcry.

Scientist:

Weapons:
EMP Shotgun
Repair Ray

Abilities:
Shockwave
Disguise

Body:
Autobots- Silverbolt, beige and brown
Decepticons- Slipstream, purple and blue

Some people told me this set up doesn't work. But then I do really good with this set up so I think they're just full of it.

My favorite game type, by the way, is Team Deathmatch.

Soilder: Deadbolt
Body Autobot: Scattershot
Body Decepticon: Demolisher
L2: Ammo Becon
R2: Whirlwind with P.O.K.E and Flury of Blows
Weapon: X12 Scrapmaker, EMP Shotgun

I usually play as a Scout, as the fit my stil very well; kill fast, and run fast. I do have three diffirent designs, with diffirent abilites and strategies, but the one i use the most is this;

Name; Toepick

Autobot Chassis: Deep red Dragster (Jazz)

Decepticon Chassis: White Tracker (Dead End)

Weapons: Energon Battle Pistol and Null Ray

L2: Mark Target

R2: Dash

Offensive Upgrade: Targeting Chip (gives more damage to Marked enemies)

Defensive Upgrade: Fuel Efficiency (Dash distance is increased)

Neutral Upgrade: Rapid Recharge (Ability Recharge time is greatly decreased)


I like to do close fighting. Cloaking can make you barely visible, but the Dash ability is better in the fight itself. You can evade the enemies hits, or you can ram into him from a short distance. You can also use the Dash to get up places you cant get to as a normal Scout. Scientists can`t be safe when i am around. I can practically get to about anywhere on most maps.

Mark Target really is helpful too. It allows me to kill Scientists and Scouts in a single hit, and with Dash, i can easily sneak up on them without them noticing. Soldiers and Leaders needs two hits before they are dead, though, Soldiers are so clumsy they are easily made cold. Leaders, though, seems to be my weak spot. The moleculation bomb slows me down, and speed is the key of Scouts. I partially choosed Dash beacuse of this. Second off, Warcry cancels my Mark Target, and therefore i can have trouble with such. The Magma Frag Launcher - god, i hate that weapon. It is way overpowered in damage, and the fact that you could practically just drop a bomb and launch it when ever somebody comes by annoys me. I even tried when the bomb actually stuck to me, and the Leader wo had blasted it bragged about how he could kil me any second he wanted to. Three seconds after i was respawned.

But worst of all, the Tactical Rig. It may be a glitch, or it may be a plus to the chassis, but the Tactical Rig can only be Marked when in it`s vehicle mode. Thinking how rarely Leaders are in their vehicle mode, it especiall pisses me off, as i while having to deal with Moleculation Bomb, Warcry AND Magma Frags can`t even use Mark Target to give some extra damage. The best way to win over these is to keep distance (most likely use the Null Ray, though Leaders move so much it`s hard to hit them).

What come sto Playlist, i usually play Deathmatch, beacuse i sometimes lose in Team Deathmatch beacuse of some n00b who gets killed all the time, and therefore drags the whole team down with him. I am actually ranked #36 on the Deathmatch Leaderboards for the moment.

But the sad thing is, nobody wants to play Deathmatch. I don`t know if it`s beacuse you are stuck as a Decepticon, if it`s beacuse you get lesser XP in it, or if it`s just beacuse they can`t play so good. So when there is no Deathmatch around, i have to play Team Deathmatch. It`s the closest thing you get to regular Deathmatch, even though some n00bs might make your team lose once in a while.

I also like playing Escalation. In Decepticon mode, i love to be Megatron, as the Drain ability rules there (oddly enough, it almost sucks in Multiplayer). In Autobot mode i am usually Zeta Prime, as me and my friends have a strategy that requires the Ammo Beacon. Else, i am Air Raid, beacuse the concept of a invisible jet rules. The fact that he can also Whirlwind while Cloaked is good, too. Same with Skywarp and Slipstream.
