Is there going to be a dragon alt included in the post-reset Decepticon set, or am I going to have to defect to the Predacons if I want to have one?

I think there's one or two, but the beasts have the much wider selection.

I really want them, but I don't want to betray my Decepticon roots. What am I going to do...? I'm a president! I can't make decisions!

I would quite like a dragon in my Cons too. Also will we be able to get a Prime alt as a rare so we can make Nemesis Primes/Scourges?

I"m missing this altmode

(the windcharger mold.)

Any change of it coming back? I've got three bots waiting for it

Not quite yet.

Alts need to be 50x50 transparent .gif's
They also need reducing to 30x30 (for mission results etc.) and I think they also need to be made in to a hollow outline so the recolouring tool works in them.

Good start though, I'm sure someone like Sharpwing will be able to tell you what needed in more detail.

oi, that was me

I changed my name from OptimusPrive, because it used my surname which is not so common.

The prize was the Windracer alt, itself

Large icons - resize the image to fit a 42x42 square, increase canvas size to 50x50, give it a quick sharpen, apply a 2px black stroke and save as a transparent GIF (I encode at 64 colours, so all icons come out at around 0.6k).
Small icons - Similar to above, but resize the initial image to 24x24 and resize the canvas to 30x30, keeping the same 2px black stroke.

additionally they need to be white in colour to work with the in game colour option

I'm really not trying to nag here, especially as I keep bringing this up, but are the tactic costs on alt-modes going to be split evenly Mkall, it's just that it poses a problem if you want to choose an alt-mod for its looks or type, but are prevented by the xp costs for the tactics, which end up being way out of range compared to other alt-modes.

It just seems like a dumb decision to me to have varying xp costs on tactics between alt-modes.

Side note: Also if this shouldn't be in this topic, I apologise, but I didn't know where else to post where you would potentially take notice.

I'd figure I'd throw in a comment, to nag about this as well. I see it (and making all alts dual tactic) as very important (right up there with reducing the beast missions to 4v4 and taking away the Cons and Bots ability to push generate beast missions). I can't stand the fact that I had to pass up the rat alt for Rattrap because it stunk due to being a single tactic alt... And that dragons are single tactic and also over-costed.

how are these?

by **Tammuz** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 4:55 pm

it's not a transparent gif (it still has the white background), it's not got a 2pixel stroke, and it's not white.

by **slip** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 4:59 pm

Getting closer not sure but you may have to remove the grey then again makeing alts is not really my thing. Keep up the good work though.

by **Tammuz** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 5:00 pm

you really need something like photoshop or GIMP to do them

Cutting out the surrounding area and saving it as a gif used to work for me if memory serves.

by **neliz** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 5:11 pm

you need to have the picture created with a transparent background, otherwise cutting it will se the cut area to the background color you chose when you started the pic.

best idea, copy the outline to a new transparent pic.
