Firstly, are they all still only one one stat?

No, I've got one con with Avoid and Courage, and another with Avoid and Intelligence. But yeah, gonna change that once they get out of CR.

Only down side is the Trans Am alt mode isn't available right now, so I'll have to go with something else 'til it's back. :?

i think CRG, is pretty useless unless everyone else has **** loads of it.


to upgrade, while a character is idle(i.e not in a mission/arena/CR/installing armour) go to there character page, near the top should be a link; upgrade, follow that, pick the stat, alt, etc.


you'll become level 1 when you have 5 stats.

Becuase ifthey are, yeah, 1 stat of avoid with no feeder is pretty crap, but one stat tfs are ppretty crap anyway.

Secondly, int has never been any good, and crg was never very good at low levels, and Tam beleives isnt very good at all anymore (I wanna wait and see on that front).

Secondly, speed is by far the strongest stat right now, so try and include it somewhere in all your builds, and nay tfs where you can have avoid, do have avoid.

While they have good intentions, stick with what you're currently doing. In fact, you're right to use intell + avoid. This will give u plenty of xp.
I refer you to the quote in my sig...in case ur wondering.

It works for Maximals too. I've also been told the "good guy" factions have a secondary use for Rank. It actually lets you rally the troops and have them fight better. So you'll want to dump all your xp into both intel and rnk. That way you have an Autobot or Maximal killing machine!

It's best to assume every link I post is NSFW, and every post I make is just me taking the piss.

I probably shouldn't be telling you this, Merc, but the Preds have a super secret mode, too. Skill. Lots of skill. You guys are skilled, right? Pump that up and watch your super-fly skills turn you into the next Waspinator!

At the Predacon Army, we see outselves as an equal opotunites insulter.

Autobots, you lot are morons who seem to think having int in the game means you have int in real life.
Decepticons, you wish you were us (I know tam does :P).
Maximals, you just plain suck ass.
Predacons, yeah, we're ugly, and our personal hygene isnt the best either.

In what way do the Decepticons wish they were more like you Predacons?

They're already incredibly ugly AND they stink.

To me, there's no difference 8)

Given that Waspinator has a higher ranking than 5/6 of your team, that might not be the most effective insult ever.
