The Energon Pub

News Credits: 3 · by **Stormwolf** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 5:35 pm

So, has anybody made any plans on which alts they'll use during the next incarnation of the game?

I've already made my picks like so:

Stormwolf: Large animal

Fireblast: Targetmaster vehicle

Crimson: Heavy attack vehicle

Air Blade: Targetmaster Air vehicle

War Blade: Tank

Turboblast: Medium Vehicle

Hyper: Light attack vehicle

Flame Strike: Heavy attack vehicle

Sky Raider: Fighter

Omicron: Walker vehicle

Scorcher: AA Tank

Novablaster: Spaceship

Has anybody else been tossing around with a potential new setup?

1. Strong Air Animal [Drop/Ram/Avoid]

2. Noble Land Animal [Charge/Bite/Multi-Repair]

3. Fast Sea Creature[Ram/Avoid/Stealth]

4. Tank [Fireblast/Ram/Absorb]

5. Small Land Animal [Stealth/Avoid/Slash]

6. Nimble Land Animal [Stealth/Avoid/Bite]

7. Fast Land Animal [Avoid/Slash/Catch]

Noble Land Animal [Charge/Bite/Multi-Repair]

8. Hunter [Catch/Bite/Charge]

9. Noble Air Animal [Bite/Multi-Repair/Dogfight]

And alas, even though I drew up my v2 team based on the new Alts, I still wound up with three that don't have good representations.

10. Doe (A female Deer)

11. Wild Boar / Razorback

12. Orca / Killer Whale - This ones is still flexible, since I haven't finished his bio yet.

I'll probably regret choosing my alts based on aesthetics rather than tactics, but c est la vie.

You are a wiser player than I...

-Maximus Prime-

Heavy Vehicle [Ram/Absorb/Charge]

Blazer Prime

Heavy Rescue Vehicle [Ram/Repair/Absorb]

Meds

Light Rescue Vehicle [Repair/Avoid/Ram]

Revver

Medium Vehicle [Ram/Charge/Catch]

Sonicblast

(Although I'd like to have a different fighter jet alt for him, but I'm gonna go with this for now)
Interceptor [Avoid/Dogfight/Strafe]

Searcher

Targetmaster Air Vehicle [Targetmaster/Avoid/Strafe]

Boltbrain

Heavy Vehicle [Ram/Absorb/Charge]

Steelwraith

Targetmaster Vehicle [Targetmaster/Ram/Fireblast]

-Speed Demon-

Racecar [Catch/Avoid/Charge]

-Bigrig-

Medium Vehicle [Ram/Charge/Catch]

-Burnout-

Light Vehicle [Avoid/Charge/Stealth]

-Rapidfire-

Racecar [Catch/Avoid/Charge]

All of these are subject to change, of course, if any changes to the Alt Rotater are made in the future.

EDIT 09/05: With the addition of the Topkick pickup, Boltbrain will now become a Topkick.

EDIT 09/10: Good thing I re-checked the alt list or I never would have seen that Mkall added the Aston Martin Vanquish to the 'Bots list! So now Revver is going to be what he was meant to be all along: the Vanquish.

EDIT 10/19: Changed -Bigrig- to the Dodge Nitro since it was the closest one to a regular Hummer H2 as I'm going to get.

by **Wilko** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 6:11 am

The only ones of mine that will have to change are

TK-421 - Was Sith infiltrator will be

or

(Star Wars based char so....

x5-452 - Based on Max from Dark Angel, Has to be a bike so i will wait to seethe as yet un realised bike alts for the cons *crosses fingers*

Prisoner 655321 - Was energon Rodimus (which was repainted to be a prison truck at one point i beleve) - I'll probably just choose some big truck thing in the end as his alt is now bot only.

Red5 - was this alt

which i thought looked X-wing-esk, as i can't have that or

, i'm going for

, which to my twisted mind looks like a short x-wing...
