Well, after a little bit of discussion it's been decided that we will allow for botmodes to appear in HMW. However they will appear in the same style as altmodes, and thus must be made. Naturally, like the altmodes they will have to have flat colour, 2px stroke, gif and transparent background with 50x50 and another at 30 x 30. This thread will be the place for the artists' galleries, community requests, and any further discussion on the subject.

If you need help figuring out how to make them, drop me, or other artists, a PM

To start things off:

TF War Within
Jetfire, Jazz

TF Transtech
Ultra Magnus

Fanmades
Alarma, Cybertron Bludgeon, Dirty Girl, East Hampton Inferno, Fembot of Doom

Silhouette, Hearts of Steel Astrotrain, Jaxxor Prime, Nemesis Primal, Lockjaw

Magnatron, Neo Star Prime, Streetspec, Tumbler Prowl, Unnamed

USAF Jetfire

Good. I think there was a Unicron bot mode in one of the topics...

Interesting...

News Credits: 1 · by **Venomous Prime** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 9:21 pm

is this going to be something that is mandatory?

I don't know why, but I really just don't like this idea.

Nope, just like you don't have to choose an alt, you won't have to choose a bot mode. At this stage when they're implemented, it'll only be for ascetic reasons. Nothing game-affecting.

Thank god, and thank you Mr Culkin for answering so quickly :grin:

But basically it'll be more images to load thus making it even harder for those in a rush or on slow connections? :???:

Not necessarily, my current plan is to only have these pics show up on the character profile pages. Thus if you're in a hurry and need to dump chars into missions, there will be no change.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 10:02 pm

Bio pages is fine (and yet another old idea), I just wouldn't want to see a flood of alt AND bot mode pics when trying to read a log.

News Credits: 1 · by **Windracer** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 11:02 pm

First off, I'm incredibly pleased that we'll be getting this as a feature. While I'd support actual artwork thumbnails (which is open to exploitation as mentioned numerous times), this is definitely better than nothing.

We won't have to worry about a robot mode rotator though, right? I hope? Please? :lol:

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 11:13 pm

Actually Windy's mention of the rotater got me thinking.

Can the bot modes be linked to the alt mode?

Basically once you choose the alt mode that bot mode (or a list of various bot modes based on that alt) will be made available?

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:52 am

Can I request for someone to do Dreadspawn's robot mode (see charecter in sig)? I know it wont end up in any rotation, but it'd be nice to have anyway. Cheers.

(Afterall, its how they SHOULD have dont the coneheads!)

Thats good thinking Burn, there must be at least 3 or 4 robot mode pics for every alt in the rotator. To have a selection would means ourt minions wont all look alike.

I look forward to this addition, thanks Mkall!

Airhawk, you might wanna hit Mkall or one of the other alt makers up on tips to get rid of the white borders. (Highlight your pics and you'll see what I mean)

by **Airhawk** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 3:30 am

Ah didn't spot those since I've only looked at them on a white background, I know what the prob is though so I'll go back and fix them later on.

Thanks for pointing it out

Could someone make bot-mode icons for the following:

(click links for pictures)
Archanubis
Northclaw
Scavendrill
Celaeno
Stratosphera
C-Scrapmetal (sorry, no picture)

Also, a question: will we be able to change the colors of the robot-modes like we can for the bots?

by **Kryptikore** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 8:42 am

I love this new idea!

I would love to see:
UNIVERSE: Overbite, Razorclaw and Nemisis Prime
ARMADA: Starscream

Question? How will the tatics work with these new modes? :???:
