No, the Autobots had them as well, but squandered them too quickly; mostly because there are larger numbers of Autobots than Decepticons.

The Autobots are minicon junkies and need rehab! The current method is cold turkey.

Let's say so: the autobots have used their minicons until the minis deserted them. The decepticons, in contrary use them as strategic reserves.

liar.

i'm certain it's becuase when the enrgon bug hit alot of bots found themselves with billions of energon and such donated game breakingly large sums of money to the rest of the bot population(generous but stupid), however only one con got hit with the bug, and rather than just give everyone too much enerergon funded alot games with rewards for killing minicons.

Not lying. There are more bots than Cons, which certainly contributed. And besides, last time I pointed out exactly what you said, I had half the Cons trying to use the fact I was saying that it wasn't a good idea to spread energon around like that as somehow proof the Autobots were evil. Pardon if I didn't want to put up with that kind of bullcrap again.

you autobots are so easily manipulated; of course we didn't want you to stop spreading it around, otherwise you wouldn't have run out of minicons so fast and we wouldn't have had a resouce advantage, and thus a tactical advantage now. it's fairly obvious ruse to demonise the one enemy talking sense, no?

Yeah. But this is only a game. It's just mean-spirited and being an asshat to do something like that to someone over a game. I play this game to enjoy myself, not put up with other people's garbage so that can have their precious "tactical advantage."

And actually, I'm pretty positive the Autobots were going to run out of minicons whether you guys spent time pissing me off or not. They had already pretty much ignored my entreaties to conserve minicons long before that.

Tam, RC, if you guys are serious, take it to PM.

If you're only half-serious, take it to the propaganda thread.

But let's not turn this thread, redundant as it may be, into a flamefest.

But isn't that exactly what real Decepticons would have done? I'd save to say the Cons did nothing but keep it in character. Though this is purely after the fact speculation based on what has been said in this thread. I joined right after the actual events being discussed.

PLZ V2 COME SOON

after helping too win over 8k of minicons and watching LVL 0's use then like candy, and the gifted bugged use them every mission until they where gone,i will be happy to change factions too one that thinks ahead.

but bringing up the faction swap thing,could we do it now,how could it hurt,you have people in bot/con who will switch to one of the other 3 just setting in there waiting,not being able to take part in any planing,or getting to know others in their new faction to see if they fit in, without being stuck in the faction in V2 if the switch isn't right for them. when you have others who are in their V2 faction taking part in the planing for the V2 kickoff,and voting for leaders and such for the first few months at the least,when the switchers have no say until after that,just seems odd to me.

Because wihout a complete reset, OS has to do every single faction swap, one at a time, manually. And the fact that v2 is so close, is all the more incentive for him not to bother with a huge force redistribution that would take hours, potentially days, to finish.
