Back on topic (This somehow turned into a rant about Windblade) I mostly hope we see some more characters that don't get massive attention (My private hope is Trailbreaker and Nightbeat joining, however unlikely). It's times like this I am glad Swindle and the Combaticons are used quite often and are well known. (They may not be Optimus or anything but they are still quite well known.)

Swindle170 wrote:Exactly it is smart. I see why they are doing it and agree with them, I am just complaining because for some odd reason I enjoy it. To be honest a lot of it was my disappointment at Windblade being at the forefront (ever so slight exaggeration used) again. I just feel Windblade is being overused at the expense of other characters. Not that I have any problems with people who like Windblade. I just don't like her personally and feel that she is being overused.

As someone who loves Windblade and considers her one of the best female characters in the franchise (her IDW comics version that is; let's just forget Machinima CW ever existed), yeah, I easily get why someone can grow very VERY tired of her. Hasbro somehow found something to overuse more than the Classics Seeker mold...
Yeah, I'd love to see some more out there characters join. Bludgeon is a really good start though, right?

I like this better than Earth Wars. I'm very curious what events/expansions they'll do. There are many "obvious" characters (as already noted) that they have to saving for something. Bring on the DinoBots! maybe someday they'll have separate battle areas for combiners or citybots...

About Waspinator:
Faction: Predacons
Class: Demolitions
Despite his loyalty to the Predacon cause, the stalwart Waspinator never gets the respect he deserves from both his team mates or the universe. He has a knack for being crushed, smashed, and torn apart, but this bug has shown himself to be nearly indestructible, always appearing reassembled and ready for the next battle.
Stats and Abilities:
2-Star:
Health: 1662
Attack: 144
Max Rating: 571
3-Star:
Health: 4081
Attack: 302
Max Rating: 1326
4-Star:
Health: 10606
Attack: 785
Max Rating: 3524
Basic Abilities:
Passive:
When Waspinator drops below half of his Base Health, he diverts power to his ranged weapons, doubling Projectile Speed for the remainder of the fight.
When Waspinator drops below a quarter of his Base Health, he gains a 15~29% Special Damage for the remainder of the fight.
Ranged Attacks
Basic ranged attacks sting the opponent, inflicting a 20~28% Resistance De for 2 seconds after a short delay.
Heavy Attacks
100% chance to instantly inflict a 20~28% Resistance De for 5 seconds.
100% chance to Nullify a Resistance .
Signature Ability – Waspinator Lives!
Waspinator’s ability to endure otherwise fatal blows and quickly reassemble himself makes him a tough bot to take out.
On Knockout Blow
If Waspinator’s HP would become 0 he instead becomes Invulnerable, Purifies all Des and Heals 1~20% of his health.
Special Attacks
Special 1 – Eye Lasers
Waspinator overloads his optic sensors!
70~90% chance to gain a 13~25% Precision , increasing Critical Rate and lowering the opponent’s chance of Evading attacks for 5~7 seconds.
Special 2 – Unsteady Sting Shot
Waspinator use kick then Waspinator use gun.
100% chance to instantly inflict a 20~28% Resistance De for 5 seconds.
100% chance to Nullify a Resistance .
Special 3 – Surprise ‘Nuke
Now Waspinator has the giant bomb! Now Waspinator is greatest of Predacons!
This attack has a 100% chance Waspinator Burns the opponent dealing Heat Damage equal to 100% of his attack over 5 seconds.
Synergy Bonuses:
Enemies with Rhinox
Rhinox and Waspinator both receive increased Attack Rating when paired with each other.
1~8% Attack Rating.
Sky Assault with Windblade
Waspinator and Windblade receive improved tracking when paired with each other.
Opponents become 5~25% less evasive.
Weaponsmiths with Mixmaster
Waspinator gains an increased Critical Chance on Heavy Attacks when paired with Mixmaster.
6~15% Heavy Attack Critical Hit
Strong Match-ups:
Ultra Magnus
Ultra Magnus’s Resistance s make him one of the tougher bots in the game, but weakening the Resistances of bots is Waspinator’s specialty. Resistance down and Nullification of Resistance s make the Wasp a great counter for the Autobot leader.
Arcee
Waspinator’s Signature Ability to nullify des allows him to stave off death from bleeding once per fight. Arcee’s low health also becomes a serious disadvantage when facing a well timed Special Attack from Waspinator.
Weak Match-ups:
Rhinox
Rhinox’s Shield offers the perfect counter to Waspinator’s punishing Special Attacks. The Shield’s ability to withstand Waspinator’s Ranged Attacks ensure it is available when the Wasp unleashes his highest damage.
Mirage
The quickest way to mitigate Waspinator’s powerful Special Attacks is to deny him Power. Mirage’s Power Drain mode will allow him to keep Waspinator from unleashing his full damage.
Recommended Modules for Waspinator:
Offense: Superconductor-1000
Waspinator has some of the most devastating Special Attacks, and the Superconductor 1000 helps him use them more often, and with less resistance.
The Superconductor-1000 is exclusive to the Raid Store.
Defense: Repair Module
Waspinator’s Signature Ability gives him more opportunity to heal up with the Repair Module’s abilities, helping ensure he sticks around for fight after fight.
The Repair Module is found in the Premium Module Crystal.
Utility: Paralyzer
The chance to Stun gives Waspinator’s Sting more time to shine by keeping opponents from escaping while they’re vulnerable.
The Paralyzer Module is exclusive to the Alliance Crystal and Alliance Missions.

Greetings Commanders!
After lots of suggestions from our players, we are adding a way for players to turn their unused bots into Shards. Starting today, when you Forge a bot into another Bot, you will receive Crystal shards for the next Crystal Tier! That means that forging a 2-Star Bot will grant you 3-Star Bot Crystal Shards, and forging a 3-Star Bot will grant you 4-Star Bot Crystal Shards.
The amount of shards you receive will scale depending on Rank, Level and Signature Level. You'll also gain more Forge XP based on the Signature Level of the Bots being forged. This will not be retroactive, and will only apply to Bots that are forged following the change.
This change will take effect at 6pm PST tonight.
