The Energon Pub

Just want to gauge interest to see if it is worth the extra time to work the beast factions into the creation screen and keep them in the game. We probably aren't looking at much time at all but I don't want to waste it if there is no interest....

Jeesh. Maybe I should just do away with the Autobots

Maybe I'll hold off on the new alt database then until I hear from you then? Thank goodness I'm not even halfway through

Yeah. I figured we could see if there was enough interest to warrant keeping the beast factions around since losing them was the only real source of worry among alot of people.

Can't make up my mind. Beast Wars was my favorite series, but I have a set of really nice bios for the Autobots, and an idea for a nice set of bios for the Decepticons.

Too bad we can't do energon donations right now - we'd see if anyone would pay me not to join their faction.

Well myself, Jeep!, and the others who subscribe to Jeep!'s TF:Extinction universe (the universe all my and Jeep!'s games are based on) tend ot ignore the BWs cartoon, as that happens a long way in the future as far as HMW is concerned. I wanna be pred, yet I only have 2 animal charecters.

As much as I love Beast Wars, I'd have to stick with the 'Bots. Even if we do get slaughtered alot at first.

Don't you know Strickland made a law saying that Ohioans had to be Predacons?

I'll be joining up with the Autobots again, but the beast factions added a neat extra dimension to the game, so I hope they return again.

Ri-ight. Like I'll abide by that. If I had to go beast it'd be a furry not a bug.

Well there was Darkscream, Gas Skunk, Max B, Ravage, Volfang, and TECHNICALLY Tarantulas was furry since he was a tarantula, and they have hair

I'll stay Maximal if I can.

by **Starlock** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 12:44 am

If beast factions are included then I have an ideal choice. Maximal all the way.

Like I need to be asked?

Decepticons FOREVER!!

News Credits: 1 · by **Kaijubot** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 2:10 am

Maximal. Definitely Maximal.

I realized my idea for a Decepticon team was as likely to shoot at Decepticons as Autobots, so what the heck, I'll go back to being an Autobot.

When I get tired of having a team of sociopaths, I can bring back some of my good guys.

Before the crash I felt the Beast factions were bad for the game, for the simple fact I believed the player base wasn't big enough to sustain four factions.

However, if it's all brand new and people have the option to pick a Beast faction when they sign up then i'm all for trying again.

Oh and I like the idea of Caelus being an Autobot, for the simple reason it'll be nice to have an Autobot Moderator that actually shows up and joins in on the forums.

Loving the new sig OS. :lol:

Id like to see the beast factions stay (I only watched BW/BM cos they were included here,) but to be honest id prefer to see them finished and fully integrated first.

As much as I want the beasties back in the game with us, Psychout speakes a good truth right there.

Hell, I'm going Con again, but having the beast factions at the start would be prefered in my opinion. The question is, do you need them out of the game to fix the bugs OS, cause if they can stay in whilst repairs are underway, the better.

First chance i had i left the 'Bots to be a Maximal, and if that choice is still there come the restart, then i'm all Maximal.

Maximals, as long as they still have access to vehicle alts. Not a big fan of most of the Beasty modes, but enjoyed playing with my fellow maximals.

I'll jump on this bandwagon.

I'd like to be a con, my team is con, i need the con alts for them. i went pred becuase they had a pathetic number of active players, and i was planning of defecting the maximals as it seemed just Wrath and Trigger were the only players. but if this poll's accurate, i need to defect to the bots once i get my precious alts.

but i doubt the poll is as it's fairly common for the more casual players to be autobot, the hardcore crack whore addicts who check the site daily seem to mainly be cons or beasts.
