Which is why I didn't want the frequency of the G1 missions turned down, just the opposition in it. 4 on 4 with the spawn we had before, and we'd be golden.

Indeed - our win ratio for Bot and Con missions is in the 90th percentile. Golden is an understatement.

Edit: Check the missions again now; fuzzies are mounting a come-back.

Because when the missions spawn, we flock to them.

In other news... Rikou has a robot mode now... It sucks pretty bad, but given that I suck at drawing robots and haven't sketched/drawn in over two years, I think it came out pretty decent.

Not scanned yet. Scanner is hooked up to my girlfriends computer and she gets mad when I do things like use her computer or wear her panties on my head.

In public that's understandable.

However, I think I know part of my XP drop this week - Level 3 Arena. My builds would roll constantly in and out of the Level 2 arena scoring 500 - 600 xp each time. Level 3 arena has them sitting for an hour or more because N_V or Red or Cheshired or you have the slots in front of me and no competition is rolling in.

Downgrading back seems so dirty though...

Downgrading is dirty, and yeah. After GS and ROS went up to level 4 along with a couple other bots, level 3 has apparently dried up in the arena. The missions usually suck zombie nuts too. It's nice to be able to pull in 1k pretty consistantly in the arena, but the waits are pretty horrid.

Ya know, I actually see Gambit and the alt-mode all wrapped into that; well done!

The alt mode parts came out like crap, I drew the shoulders to close together for a mech, and I think instead of drawing the lion butt on the other shoulder (like Lio Convoy has) it should be on the back, since that would tie it more into the human form of the character. The head came out ok, but I stole that from the release of Primal from Cybertron (easily one of my favorite heads). ... The lion head would have probably come out better if I would have dug out my Liger Zero to reference. The forearm guards would have come out better too if I would have pulled out God Gundam (since the Shining/Burning Finger attack seemed to be the best way to show ki use in a mech before I picked up the beast wars source book)

That's the human version of Rikou/Rick st.Cloude (a name that used to mean something on the net). It's not in the picture, but the arm that I put the lion head on in robot version has armor on it in the human version, with a half breast plate strapped on (but not in that picture, since the story behind that one is friendly rememberance with Yoshitsune)
