The Energon Pub

Damn this event. I wish I had had more time, but I've mainly only played last night and today. Still up to 3500 though, and 4 2* guys from the weekend now in free crystals

I like to think this event done me pretty good.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed Dec 07, 2016 5:18 pm

Seeing as the News Crew won't get their newsletter for another 12+ hours ...

Weekend event is another single one. 10,000 points instead of 8,000.
4* bots will be able to level up to level 60.
HQ15 rolls out in the next day.

Oh thank god you finally said something. I'very been going nuts over the level 15 thing.

:-(

Yeah, if they'd held off until new year I'll have maxed my HQ14. Only need 2-3 weeks, aside from the Energon Harvesters I have about 6 buildings to upgrade (including mines)

News Credits: 3 · by **ctrlFrequency** » Wed Dec 07, 2016 6:16 pm

I honestly didn't think we'd see level 15 until spring.

I've got a good start on my 14 upgrades, but it's only been 2 weeks. A couple emplacement done, one wall...

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed Dec 07, 2016 6:23 pm

My upgrades pretty much went according to my plan ... though I set out with the intention of starting an upgrade one each day to the point I'd have four bots going and leave the fifth for walls.

The one a day quickly fell through though. More so after the walls were completed.

News Credits: 3 · by **ctrlFrequency** » Wed Dec 07, 2016 6:28 pm

Well at least it went mostly to plan.

Lately my plan had been "get upgrading whatever I can because the shield is about to drop and I will be attackedand loose all my resources."

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Wed Dec 07, 2016 6:29 pm

Meanwhile I'm still needing to get to 14. 20/30 of my walls are done; meaning all that's left are a mortar, two laser turrets, two auto-cannons and my stasis mines.

... oh, uh, and my extractors and scanner I guess. Who cares

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Wed Dec 07, 2016 11:35 pm

If it's any consolation, you guys will probably max 15 before they introduce 16.

Meanwhile I'm still at 11, getting close to a 12 upgrade in a week or two. Got a couple cannons and a lot of walls to upgrade still. And my harvesters, but yeah those are whatever.

I m saving my cyber coins for build bots now. What does levelling up in player rank from 59 give 4* shards or 3* shards any news.

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 8:17 pm

The newsletter is extremely late (I don't know why), so I'll just drop this here at least.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/transfor ... 4657146266

Gist of it is that it's an incredibly simple single player event that takes 10,000 BP to complete. 750 3* shards and 650* shards in total among sparks and force fields and resource reserves.
Main thing here is that it's now possible to get to Level 15 HQ.

Wow... you still don't have it? That's crazy.

I have screen shots of it.

You have to go under the "Promotions" tab instead of the standard "Primary" tab. It's there, along with several newsletters. Somethings just go straight there

Found this. Anyone know if legit?

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 10:20 pm

I've heard this is the thing coming up. Time to add some Victory guys to the game

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 10:40 pm

They match the descriptions that have been floating around of the two new bots that will appear at the end of the Arctic Saga.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 11:27 pm

Yeah, the hints we've gotten seem to point to them. Nice to see it confirmed!

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 11:47 pm

Not bad at all. I'm glad to see them branch out to characters beyond just what people remember from Season 1 & 2 and whatever the current toyline's doing; this should make a lot of Victory fans happy

And while I'm not usually a fan of the Japanese G1 stuff... IDW's made me fall in love with Deathsaurus so I'm even more glad to have been a 'con in EW than ever.

Anyone else think that the next unit added after Star Saber/Deathsaurus, whoever it is, should be a healer? The lack of them in this game is only getting more frustrating now we've got more squads.
Besides, they need to put in First Aid at some point now they've started doing the Protectobots. Just use him and a random Stunticon and you're set.
