The Energon Pub

So with the game fast approaching, I'm kind of curious on how people are going to approach the restart of the game. I figured, might as well start a fun thread. So the thread starts off as this, what will be your first 3 toons?
After looking here :

I have already built my first 6 bots and figured out the stat placements. But I am still curious on what the Elite and Elders are going to do. So lets here it from all of you guys

Well I'm definitely not a elder here and not so sure about being elite but i think this is what your getting at.
My Alt choice will be as close as I can get my team to pre reset. Names are of some importance as I have used them in my fic pieces.
As well I also have a idea of stat placement when and how to upgrade plus and i use this term very loosely a deployment strategy.
I hope this is the type of response you where looking for and I'll see you in my sights.

Sadly, my choices will be entirely character driven, as always.

So my first three alts will probably be:

A Motorcycle

A Racecar

A Helicoptor

I'm looking to get my purple pterodactyl back, but she may not be available for a few rotations. I'm also looking for the wrecking ball and the WW2 ambulance.

Hmmm. If at all possible, Raptor Jesus will be a raptor land animal or fast animal which ever version is available. And Judge Chuckachu would be the biggest monster available until the Godzilla alt becomes available or if the Godzilla alt becomes available. haha

Rambulace
Tank
TIE Fighter

I also really want the Guitar.

Right now:

Dinosaur (if it's still an alt class)
Construction Vehicle
Sea Critter

Don't know if I'm going to rebuild the entire team as was.

mine would be

F-15 eagle Nightwatcher
velociraptor Quickclaw
and a tyrant dragon Sliverfire
if they still have the alts.

Blitzwheel will be the WLT
Sturmfire will be G1 Stalker
Blitzfuhrer will be the G1 double dealer

my first 3 will be:

a jet or air animal for Airstorm Alpha
racecar for Jazz Alpha
and ambulance for Medic Alpha

A Griffin for Gradius Striker
A Lion or Liger for Leoblitz
A Land Dragon for Mech Diabolique

a Semi Truck
a Helicopter
a T-Rex

a Dragon
a Lion
and a Dinosaur (preferably a theropod)

Although, if we're allegedly getting enough Energon to rebuild our entire team, I'd think this is a bit of a moot point, yeah? xD

The Alts of:
WW Grimlock
Jawbreaker AKA Transmetal Hyena
G1 Ravage

and hoping for some TIEs

I'm probably going to set up my team all at once to grab the names I want; no canon names, just want to make sure no one snipes the names I was using for 11/12 of my characters. As far as alt-modes, I'll need to see what Mkall sets up as available for the Autobots before I decide. However, I'll probably run my team as 1/3 Rammer/Avoiders, 1/3 Strafer/Avoiders and 1/3 Repairer/Avoiders with initial upgrades going to Avoid. As long as it's going to be a virtually random slapping match, might as well focus on the tactic that stands to give me an Energon bonus.

Not entirely sure depends what we have and which faction I choose but
probably
Spider
Semi
and an air animal of some sort

If I go Autobot or Decepticon, it looks like I'm going to have an avoid-heavy team:

Motorcycle-like Vehicle
Futuristic Helicoptor
Starfighter
Porsche 956
VW Bug
Porsche 930 Turbo
Chevy Corvette
Police Car
Lamborghini Countach
Mercedes Benz
Nissan 300ZX
???? - Undecided, will probably depend on which gap I most need to fill, and what is available in the alt-rotator.

If I go with being a Maximal, it'll either be every dino-alt available, or:

Eagle
Peacock
Horse
Dolphin
Boar
Deer
Deer
Tank
Tiger
Ladybug
Housecat
Owl

If I go Predacon it will be bugs. Lots of bugs. Hopefully including the SST Arachnids and the Alien Xenomorph. But yeah, bugs.

Spaceship
Shuttle
AA Tank

Rictor Prime - Semi
Street Viper2 - Car
Battle Spec Prowl - Tank

The rest would be 3 Medics, 3 more Cars, and 2 Jets and another Tank. Though I really don't know until I look at the Alt-List.

I'll be going for:

Tank
Battle Ambulance
Dragon

I also want the old pterodactyl alt. Hamish McGoth was one of the only 3 left in the game, and I'm pretty sure one of the only active 2 - the other being Mkall's.

If i get Starscream and Skyfire back, then I'll give them jets, or maybe birds. I don't know yet.

Then VP will get either a semi or a griffin, depending on if Mkall throws his alt in the game for the preds.

Then Bleedingstar will either get the Cyclonus jet, or some kind of aerial thing

I'll be having a semi, a base, and a tyrant dragon, if it's available...
