I am not above creating pics similar to the altmodes to represent robots.
I'd be more interested in seeing these kind of images:just because they match the current layout but we'll see what happens
I just had an idea for a feature which could be cool in HMWv2: the Tubes of Transference, as seen in Marvel TF G1 US #4 (attached below). Tubes of Transference would be used to transfer HP from one character to another. Say your favourite character is at 40% and you want to put him in the Arena. You can't since he's not at full, so you transfer HP from a less important character and your fav is off to the Arena.
Now that's an interesting idea. I'll bring it up with OS & co
Two great ideas, maybe with V2 we could have the option whether our character starts any battles hi takes part in in either robot mode or his alt mode to add a bit more variety.

Certain minicons will perform certain things. One will boost attack, one wil boost speed, another would make you travel between territories faster, and others will do other cool things.

With the introductions of Maximals and Predacons as factions, will they recieve their own alt-mode lists or will they share their parent factions alt modes (so the Autobots and Maximals will have the same alt selection, for example)?

I like this idea, and the design image. Would this work however as; pick an altmode and you have a choice selection of robot modes(including fembot) that relate to that particular alt mode? i.e. pick a dinobot altmode and choose a robot form like Grimlock's or Slag's etc. :-?
The only problem is this,
Take Mega Addatron for example, he transforms into a laser cannon based on lord stratux, so when i selected that alt mode, i would probly only get 1 choice, a robot form resembleing lord stratux but my bio for Mega Addatron clearly states he uses an arm cannon somthing lord strautx lacks, so it's a bad choice for me, however should the images be not just limmtied to the chariters it's baced on so say give the laser cannon robot mode a arm cannon> could we do that? pleese pleese? and will we get more alt modes, id like to see a hevily armoued cybertronian warcraft based on no one in particuler could we do that also?
EDIT: i found somthing to suite my wants i always dreemed of the day super megatron's alt mode would appere in the HMW and i never thought that i would ever get to see a robot mode for him heres a link to a pic of him in both modes:

more star wars alt-modes would be helpful.
and will the minicons come with their own alt-modes or will we be able to give them alt-modes?

The only real gripe that I have about alt modes is that I wished that there were a more equal ammount of them for EACH kind of alt mode, [AND] then get to see more of them in rotation.

It's been hinted that OS will upload a "mess load" of new alts for V2. Also, its been hinted that robot mode icons may be added to the character profiles.

Yes and yes, the altmodes will most likely appear before the bot modes as there are pleny of alts to choose from, and still only a few bot modes.
As for Battlestars Megatron, post the image in the altmode thread and one of the artists will try their hand at it. I've tried it and it was just messy.

Can you show me your drawing, might be good, also along with autobots decepticons maximals and predacons can we get a catorgory for heralds of unicron? with unicrons symbol just a sugestion.
Also where is the alt modes thread?

To put it in a nutshell, they would be a nightmare to program and no one can agree on how they should work.
i see your point. too bad though, it could make things intersting.
i'm going to guess that power linking like in armada, energon, and cybertron is out of the question as well isn't it?

WHAT THE UNICRON MINIONS
Great just what my team don't need to go up against those guys. Putting that as nicely as I could. As if X-Prime was not bad enough for them. I mean I lost good soilders to him. I think missions that involved them would be good. As long as it was worth more to fight them, that they are random in missions, Or they are what we fight in the arenas.
Of course that would be a great ideal to bring HMW2 in. For the Autobots teams have Unicron involved in the reset, and for the Cons teams have Primus. Give us more. Give us a reason to fight the other team
a great OS is there anyway anyway at all to make upgrades cost less?
Thats from Darkchild. She not happy to be going back to level 0
I might remake their bios, they are a bit lame.

I must say i like this! Especially if there will be Pretenders in the long run... too bad we get reset but i suppose it's understandable. Hopefully raising stats will be a bit less 'painful'.

Well there are at least 3 tactics per alt now, so at least the early levels should go by quicker

Yes, you will get a small amount of starting Energon.
Mkall may, or may not add alt/robot icons to the game as he sees fit, but i highly doubt he will add any icon for the sole use of a single person, additions will be for all(though probably limited to faction choice)
