The Energon Pub

Just wanted to make sure it was known that I'm thrilled that Decatron's alt is in the game. (the gatling gun seeker) along with another of my creations (the rare tri-vertical wing seeker with the rattler bombs) Wish that I could offer a few more customs that would make unique looking game images. Have one custom weaponed seeker left but I don't think it would convert well at all.

Appreciate the effort and look forward to playing again.

Any chance each factions alts can be posted into the faction forums?

Might make it easier for people to plan for V2 and not have to troll through a few hundred alts they will only be crushing and not using.

He has already posted the Maximal alts in the Maximal forum. I'm sure the other forums will get the same treatment, if they haven't already, soon enough.

Gave them to the Bots and cons now. Enjoy them, because I'm not touching them again, not for a while anyways.

wheres the V-22 and F-14 (cons) also could the decepticons get some real world fighter jet alts like MiGs or other euro based aircraft?

They're in the "Future of the _______ Altmodes: Feadback Wanted" threads in each forum

Here's the Darkmount one: http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... 21579&sid=

the bots are getting and am glad theres more to come but am I missing something with the fanmade alts.Will/are we able to upload our own?

No, but almost all the altmodes you see in the game were made by fans at some point or another.

People make the icons, and some of the best / most reasonable / most needed / most popular make it into the rotation when the Alt list is updated (which is rare, but it happens).

Speaking of which how does someone make them? I'm assuming there's some shooping to do.

So, I figure this is probably the best place to ask witghout starting a new thread, but given the recent incident I'm assuming the new Alt mode lists will be vastly larger than the previous ones. Will we get a preview of which side gets what?

I'll be happy if we're not restarting with the original selection of alternate modes.

I have something written a while back. I should still have it. I'll need to do some digging but when I find it I'll PM ya

Isn't it just a transparent .gif in the 2 sizes?

Indeed. I think we need to remember this is primarily about getting the game back up and working a few of the bugs out. It isn't nessecarily upgrade time for everything.

It just occurred to me, and I don't think anyone else has asked, but was the alt-rotator salvageable, or is it toast?

It seems to be there so it should keep running.

So would there be any merit to my suggestion of an open list of all that factions alts for 2 weeks until normal rotation kicks in...or would that mess with things?

Also will people who had special reward alt's perminently on their list be able to get them back?

When I wrote the database, I didn't have the ability to code that bit in. As far as I'm aware, the rotator will start immediately.

Also will people who had special reward alt's perminently on their list be able to get them back?

Sadly, no. That info was lost.

Maybe in your database. But those of us who had them certaintly remember.

Now you be restocking my CATalyst alt or he's coming after you.

I can remeber the christmas tournie winners, and most of the DW2 runners, I'm fairly sure there was one other even that handed out PPAs

the list;
Tammuz - WLT, micromaster redhot
Burn - Catalyst
Snapcase - cybertron Menasor
Redimus - classics mirage
Spidey - the pegasus alt
Chaoslock - brown allosaurus
Lord gothika -
Rat convoy - transtech ratrap, and something else
Slip -
Psychout -

sorry it's not more complete

Dont forget Windracer had a good asortment of prize alts, whoever it was she worked with in the tag team scavengerhunt too.
