Bite me. :P

And for the record First Gen, the "God of Transformers" means nothing to me. It's a label based on my post count and i'd happily change it if I could.

I've never understood the set titles/ranks.


Other sites let you choose your own title, so I don't know where the ranking system came from. It just causes certain members to spam their way to god of transformers.

I think once you reach a certain number of posts you should have the option to change your title ie Burn.

Im just happy my micromaster days are behind me.

Ah - I get you now

Well, most of us 'bots don't seem to post very often anyway, but with the game being down lots of people have disappeared (not just 'bots but 'cons as well)


Then whats the point of the AWC? I read their mission statement, I considered joining, but if their only posting in the Autobot forum where it's 'safe', whats the point?

Autobots have been getting a bad rap since I started playing HMW. And I haven't seen any bots, other than you and maybe a few others in the past, try to stop that. Thats gotta stop.


I put the AWC on hold this past summer. We were going through a restructuring and then was told HMW v2.0 was coming out "soon." So I kept it off line until then. THen we got incorperated into HMW where we were given our own forum. Since the game has been up and down for a while now, the AWC has been fairly inactive. You just happened to try and join up in a period of inactivity due to HMW status.

The Autobots have their fair share of gamers, but since the unreliability of HMW as of late, some have just take some time off due to real life. When HMW v2.0 does finally come out, I am sure they will be back and the Autobots, along with the AWC, will be active again.

That would be great, EP. It'd be awesome to see more AWCers out and about on the HMW forums.

Most of the 'old guard' Autobot players have pretty much vanished, and very few people have even tried to fill the 'void' on the forums, so to speak.

There are the odd one or two who have made some sort of effort, but overall, the Bots have next to no representation here, hence why the Cons tend to be 'dominant' in terms of active forum members. This could deter some Bot players from posting, as some think that as soon as they post, they're gonna get half the forum 'smack talking' them back into the wilderness.

Bottom line Autobots: Grow some damn cajones, and give as good as you get, otherwise you will lose... 8)

PS, if this post makes naff all sense, bite me. It's 3.30am here and I'm tired...

Maybe Con players have more ego, and that's why they joined Con?



How do we tell what faction each person is (other than by memory)? The faction symbol disappeared with the switch to php3.

Most active cons tend to be RDD (TEND and MOST Burn :P).
Usually they have the insignia somewhere in their sigs/avvys.


Plus, con members talk superior smack to the other factions 8)

Well here's a good 3 question guide to identifying Bot and Con players.

#1 Does the player post in the HMW:GD?
No -> Bot player
Yes -> Go to question 2

#2 Does the player smacktalk?
No -> Bot player
Yes -> Go to question 3

#3 Is the smacktalk lame?
Yes -> Bot player
No -> Con player
