2) Given that altmodes are being wiped, and that names can always be changed (depending on availability) and bios always rewritten, does that mean each character "slot" could potentially be restarted as a completely different kind of bot; enabling me to design a team from scratch (with a little more forethought this time round)? This would have to be the case if we're going to be given the chance to switch factions, surely?

3) As everyone will suddenly have around 12 LV-0 characters and €2500 burning a hole in their pocket, will there be any basic weapons to buy after the first 5 minutes of V2 being up, given how hard it is to buy them even now? I realise this isn't hugely significant in the long term and most basic weapons are not that great anyway, but having one character with an x-ray laser, I can definitely see the difference it makes. Basic weapons will be the only thing to separate characters in those crazy early days, and the only thing to spend your money on till one of your chars accrues at least 1000XP. Will there be enough to go round, or am I just seeing things from a skewed perspective, (seeing as none of my characters have any Firepower or Skill yet)?

Well you don't think we'd add 4 factions and only make it a 2-sided war?

I love the 4 way free for all I'm envisioning, and the Chaotic Good Autobots..... the Rambo's of Cybertron!

There had better be a good amount of weapons, and from what I've heard, there should be ways to earn weapons so we shouldn't see an empty armoury too often.

Hope that helps

actually i'm against no stat weapons; in, order to balance the game they's have to be shite, so shite infact that they'd not be worth having, and i'd rather keep the game free of booby weapons, weapons should actually mean something in my book.

So I'm guessing I won't convince you to include a 0FP/0SK Laser Pointer?

To go with the Duct Tape Armor.

Levels will still be based on total upgrades

I'm just using this time before the reset to get used to the game and how it works. I have a few questions about the reset that I haven't seen on the first page or in subsequent posts (though I haven't read all 39 pages).

1) Will team and character performance history (i.e. your mission & arena percentages and kills) be wiped clean? This would have benefits for me at least - being a newbie my success rate isn't great thus far!

I just wanted finish by saying thanks for making such a great game, and keep up the good work!

I like the extended bios but now I'm tempted to go Predacon. I'm more of a fan of Decepticons like Ratbat, Shockwave & Soundwave and the Predacons seem to embody that style of warfare. Oh what to do!
