Yeah, a few did make it in, but I doubt we'll be seeing that again for a while.

The bio's thing is for a couple of reasons.
Firstly its to try and encourage more people to create them for their characters, it just makes the game more fun when you know who you are killing, but its also to encourage more thinking outside the box - Some jets should be able to ram and so could some weapons. Some cars should be able to fly. These should have the chance at being in the game too. We have 4 tactics, of which 2 can go on alt, so any combination is possible...

We actually are missing one of the combos. I think its cheap avoid/expensive ram. Reverse of whatever the cars tactics cost.

That's always kinda bugged me.

Sadly, not a lot we can do about that currently, but I thought the predator/hunter classes had those covered?

Just checked the tactics in the help section and you are right. How odd that we never noticed that before eh?

You know, I was playing around in the control panel the other weekend and thought how funky it was I could give a tank tactics OTHER than the ram/strafe combo ... :WHISTLE:

The plot thickens...

I probably should have actually put it into play to see if it actually worked.

Get on and try it then! :lol:

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Fri May 20, 2011 7:51 am

Pick the alt, pick the tactics it shouldn't have and i'll have a go over the weekend.

Just give it one battle and see what happens.

Can you drop a post of how it's done in the graveyard please?

Squirrel, ram and strafe :lol:

On a side note, I should open up a night club called Rapture...

For those of us without facebook... can I get cliff notes?

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Fri May 20, 2011 9:34 am

No Facebook? What century do you live in?

When everyone is gone and god's not looking, we need to pick up some sweet stereo equipment and maybe some new furniture for the mansion we're going to squat in.

What better use of a Sunday can you think of?

hey Psychout can you explain this alt-hunt for the retarded people*. do you have to stasis the alt that you want?

*me*

by **_Anshin_** » Fri May 20, 2011 9:48 am

I am at work (since 5am).. We have a sentry that only allows the PR department to have access to social media. Never been a big Facebook / Twitter fan though.

FB is good for spying on old school mates and ensuring you earn more money than they do, and Twitter is awesome simply for the updates from @The_Goddam_batman and @DeathStarPR. Those two alone make it awesome. (Oh, and Charlie Brooker for the Brits, the guy is a legend!)

No worries - the answer is YES, exactly that.
1) Pick an autobot alt you want for your character.
2) Find the bots that already have that alt (If you can't find any, tell us here and we'll let you hunt others of the same alt-class)
3) Stasis lock them and post the mission links here.
4) When you have 20 of them, we'll give you that altmode.

Now get out there and kill someone! :twisted:

by **_Anshin_** » Fri May 20, 2011 10:33 am

Botomb, I want to hunt but I don't really have an alt mode that I want. Let me know the alt mode you want and I will start to hunt down that alt mode. On Page 1 Psychout said that it was cool to donate an alt mode so I will do what I can to earn it and donate it to you.

by **botomb** » Fri May 20, 2011 12:57 pm

all I want is that sabertooth tiger to get me up to 10 team members,but if you want to do that Anshin thats cool.But I thought I saw a new autobot in level zero with the alt that I can take advantage of.

I'll have to cancel my help with that for the moment. I forgot we had two sabretooths, and didn't realize the cons had one of em. But if i see the other pop up in rotation, i'll throw it on someone.

It's easy really. Search for the character, edit the character, choose the alt mode image (this is a real pain in the arse if you have multiple images of the same alt, e.g. TANK) then choose the transformation type. Click on submit and voila. Done!
