I guess, my biggest beef is that if I purchase a Minicon, I kinda would think of it as added member to my team and not just a upgrade.

That's where the Targetmasters and Headmasters come into play, but that is yet to come...

Here is another idea on Minicons, as an upgrade they would work fine, but an added idea for them is to treat them like Pokemon. You gotta catch them all type of thing.
And how about make it a big deal if you lose in a match and get killed by somebody, they get your Minicon.
Just some ideas to make it more interesting, I am a G1 through and through but I really hated the Headmasters and Targetmasters. I always thought that pretty much hearalded the end of the Transformers.

I always thought Happy Meal quality robots inside cheap plastic shells were the gimmicks that brought the end of Transformers.

PS...That's a hint that there are no Pretenders in HMW2 ;;)

The Pretenders are like the Cobra-lalalalalala in GI Joe.
The Minicons I think were a fresh idea that was introduced and I think they work. Are they equals to Autobot or Decepticons? No, but they did add a intresting plot and showed how important they really were to each faction.

I rather like the minicons. They seemed to have helped me out quite a bit. I only wish there were some availabe now since I'm down to my last two.

Heathens!

Both of you!

Anyway, aside from some small concerns about mini-cons and how people may exploit them, I think they've worked out fine. People are just expecting far too much. In fact the best way to describe things would be people have had it far too easy in this game for far too long. V2 will be a bit more difficult and mini-cons are an extra level of strategy best used in desperate times.

GEEWUN NEVER DIES, it just fades away.

i still think they should only die if you lose the mission, after all surely your buddies should scrape you and your little one up afterwards...

and a random chance to have it stolen rather than destroyed on your death

and a minicon kill counter

I suggested that we could have a minicon killing spree minigame for the end of the game.

Come to the Decepticons Omega, clearly you see things as we do.

I don't mind the minis being around, though when the Head/Target masters come out I'll pretend they are the Japanese rather than American verson, because Micromasters with transtectors are better than green native americans!

Why do they have to be green native americans? They don't look like that in the old Marvel comics. Me thinks you've been watching Rebirth a bit too much.

EDIT: I can't wait for Headmasters and Targetmasters.

I forgot about the comics for a second. :oops:

Well, mini humanoids in general then.

Headmasters!

I think that the Minicons are not an addition to the game at all!!!
You have to spend all your money and when you are not so lucky you loose all again... This way the people with the most money will keep on winning because the poorer guys can't buy a new Minicon to do battle with...

Get them out!

I agree... I only have one in my whole team and actually couldn't get 3 other characters not in the CR chambers because of it!
My vote it get them out!
