I just don't see why it can't count towards your level, because then we can move to level 12. It opens up even MORE levels.

Just the one actually - if it counted toward your level in proportion to its effect, it would barely get you into level 12 when maxed out.

um cealus, you might want to check your maths again you only need 104 upgrades to be level 12, given how thise work that's not a particularily big investment in xp.

and again these will have a massive problem with over amping when these are finally are fully intergrated and they've work out how to abuse them.

and they really do piss all over the level system.

Yes, but Infestation wasn't and his results showed nothing different either.

Well, I'm going to see in half an hour just how badly I can rape the new system.

Too bad I didn't get 10 tons of U238 on there before sending him in.

No one used the word "rape".

Beg your pardon; dialect difference I guess. "Broken" is preferable terminology I suppose?

Anyway, the result, with 10Str, the Robot Ability maxed out and a +4Str Minicon, vs a 0End opponent was much less dramatic than I was afraid it would be.

Which begs the question.

"Is it working properly?"

And if it is, "What's the point of this again?"

repair has 8
and did nothing different in his mission

Just want to note I can see your bot's robot tactic lvl., which I am pretty sure is not supposed to be possible for tactics right?

i never could figure out the bad thing in knowing that

Are just gonna have to stick with the 2 choices until v2 launches, or is a wider selectiongoing to be available in the near future?

not that I care but some might in the future. I noticed that the bots change color to match you alt mode but not all of the colors work http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... r_id=26292

I'm definitely adding more this week. With different robot types as well.

When you haven't changed your alt mode's color then the default color of your robot won't change. The robot has to know what color to be and the color value for the alt mode is null unless you change it.

I heard a rumor that you were going to make the robot modes resetable *seperately* from the rest of the character. That true?

Mkall and his silly rumors

Just an FYI when I train my robot mode the "Train" doesn't disappear when I don't have enough xp to train it anymore. Don't know if this is happening for anyone else.

The question was not answered, or was it?

will it be possible to have robot modes different colours from alt-modes? that'd be good.

What exactly do the robot mode tactics do???

Someone finally asked the million dollar question!

Robot modes are specialized for certain abilities. Mkall suggested classifications such as: Assault-Type, Recon-Type, Melee-Type, etc. This is probably the format of types I will change it to.

When you upgrade the robot mode's "Special Abilities" you are basically making it more powerful in a certain area. The Metroplex and Metrotitan robots you have right now are specialized for strength.

Each upgrade on Metroplex's ability meter adds 1/2 point to his strength during combat. So a maxed out Metroplex could actually pack a punch of 15 strength.

Other bot types will do different things. Recon-Type will add to intelligence and stealth (and yes, intelligence will do stuff). Assault-Type will add to firepower.

This adds yet another dimension to configuring your bots.

so im guessing it won't work with default colors then

What if you change the colour and then change back to the default?

for most alt modes, if you play with the color enough, you'll find you can get if not the exact color, then really close.

Nice, so, will we be seeing any other types other then a speed and strength type any time soon?
