Any posibility that more then one member of my team can be in the same battle at the same time?

What will the Headmaster and Targetmaster feature do exactly?
Also any chance of having a TIE Fighter alt mode?

will there be a sniper ability with any of the weapons or weapons alt modes?

will poisonious paralyzing fluids also actually be poisonious and the centagrade flame thrower actually inflict burns?

Will there be gestalks?

so you would like the ability to upgrade terrtories? Will each teretory produce energon that will destribute energon evenly among the members of faction in that area?

I don't know the specifics, but it might be possible if your fighting in the Battle For Cybertron, but I don't know that for sure.

While your mech is transformed (i.e. using a tactic) the master componant may get an additional attack

Also any chance of having a TIE Fighter alt mode?

I'll be in charge of the altmodes in the new version, so it's a distinct possibility that there will be several new additions

Not that I've heard of, but I don't know all of the special abilities of the weapons yet.

Will there be gestalks?

Gestalts will be the absolutely final thing that will ever be added to HMW, so not for a long time.

I'll let OS handle that one

What about those of us who'll be at Botcon when game is starting?

Well, you could buy the HMW fighters a Decepticon team, when you're there. :lol:

OK, The question: What will be the Casette alts' 3 tactics? I just can't think of 1 of what it could do...

Several people will not get the alts they want right away. I cannot guarantee that you will get them first time.

Probably that of a new HMW player. I think it's 2,000 but I can't recall

most likely;
1)Avoid(as almost all canon cassettes are animals)
2)the other super secret avoid linked tactic
3)strafe(cos they all had big weapon emplacements)
4)pwn subsonika

To put it in a nutshell, they would be a nightmare to program and no one can agree on how they should work.

It's the HMW equivalent of the Fawlty Towers episode "Don't mention the War"

Ah the cheap little dork bots in a shell that crushed my childhood. Nope.

Seriously, I've got no plans for Pretenders right now. There will definitely be things added as time goes on and Pretenders may be in the future if enough people want them.

Campaigns on the map will start 30 minutes after they are initiated and will last 20 after that. Missions will range in time like they do now.

Will you be allowed more then 6 transformers?

by **DtreetViper2** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 11:08 am

With the new minicons option, will we be able to use the alt-modes that are from minicons, or will they be replaced with other alt-modes.

To see a Minicon power-link with another Minicon is strange.
