The Energon Pub

by **sumowrestler** » Tue Apr 17, 2018 1:27 am

For the Autobots or Maximals (in heart) out there, I'm organizing a week long tournament. If you haven't seen the thread in Iacon, please go there for the details. Energon will be rewarded for first, second, and third place as well as meeting the goal. The tourney will being this Friday and last through next Friday. Main reasons for timing is I'm on vacation starting this Friday and a start up for the HMW May tournament.

Autobots Roll Out!
Maximals, Maximize!
Til All Are One!

In case there is any confusion, Sumo was kind enough to give me a heads up on this to make sure it didn't clash with the Campaign arc. It doesn't and I've said to feel free.

Faction tourneys are welcome - the more activity and fun you guys have here the better - but if you do have ideas please drop us a courtesy PM so we know.

Good luck Sumo!

What's this?!

An Autobot actually running an event!?!

Must be a glitch in the matrix!

(Or further proof that Maximals > Autobots)

I'm a maximal at heart (as well as back in 2006ish), how do I play?

Long time no see Sprockitz. If you have access to the Iacon forum, there is a thread with the same title which instructions in the top post. I'm hoping it will be as spam free as possible.

He's a 'Con these days.

For those who are curious about the tournament, it is last mechanism standing. This means it counts for the last autobot in a match we lost. I have two standing rules regardless of the objective. The first one is there has to be at least 2 vs 2 and no more than 3 levels from the mechanism. For example, a level 4 mech can be in a level 1-4 or 4-7 or somewhere between. This automatically removes the 1-11 hell missions.

A who can die the slowest contest?

Doesn't that just scream "Bot" to everyone? XD

That explains the ridiculously overpowered lower level builds i’ve seen lately

I will make you pay for that comment, HC. You are still in range of my mechs. Is it my fault trying to reward the effort of my fellow bots and maximals.

Anything that get them to show up to fight is cool with me.

As for this tourney...
I think Wingz is suddenly going to be the most popular person in the Iacon forums...

In the process to reformatting 2 more to medics at the moment, actually >:oP

possibly 3. Undecided.

I guess I'll just take my team full of medics and go home then.

Though, to be honest, I was thinking of reformatting a few out of the medical field. Being a doctor just doesn't pay what it used to. Must be Trumps America.

Well I, for one, am extremely happy about this contest, Torchwood has made nearly 2.5milxp already this week, and it's still only Thursday. You can stay sumo, in fact you might replace Wingz as my new favourite autobot/xp generatator!

The reformat is only temporary to get an xp boost

Then they'll be DPS again.

Not going for repair/strafe combo?

I may try it again if this current experiment fails. Historically, I've had more luck with rep/av and terrible luck with rep/strafe. Now that I know more about the game, however, it'd be nice to try revisiting it :lol:

Stickshift has been pulling in nice hauls with rep/avd, I just was thinking strafe was king when you were out numbered.

Hey guys, it is tourney time and it starts at noon US Central\Chicago time. Remember Cons, we need your help as well since one requirement is at least 2 vs 2 and non-Hell 1-11 missions.
