Numbers aside, activity seems to be the larger problem. Predacons have the smallest numbers but I have no complaint for backup. We are usually outnumbered but we've found complimentary builds and I've learned how other commanders run their teams that I know whom to enter with them. My win percentage proves how Bots/Cons are truly dominant, but my XP growth isn't affected.
My best missions are when I'm the first to enter on both sides because the rest of the slots seem to fill up quickly. Maximals don't seem to have that backup as consistently. I've unfortunately got a slew of Pred overrunning Maximal missions in my history.

Fixed. Given how I've never complained (nor did I above) that's an over-reaching generalization.

Likely true. However, if all would join missions rather than the arena that would likely change to at least good fights (6v4 or 6v5, which still renders a good match). That deduction is from experience.
The standard Pred seems to have enough insanity to ignore the numbers and blindly enter any mission though, hence the backup. It's a reverse Zerg, if you will.
