Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!As the sole Autobot combiner, Superion has shouldered a heavy burden, while as the sole Decepticon Combiner, Devastator has let his power go straight to his head!
Breaking Point
For the Autobots, it's clear that relying on one Combiner is not a long term solution to the Decepticon threat. They endeavor to form another Combiner to share theAerialbots' burden!
The Decepticons consider Devastator too dangerous to rely on. Megatron has initiated a plan to form a new Combiner who is more subservient, and knows their place in the Decepticon pecking order! Battle to see your faction’s goal come to fruition and earn Alloy, Energon, Spark, 3-Star Shards and 4-Star Shards.

Player Spotlight
In-game name: DreadstalkerFaction: DecepticonPlayer Level: 74Decepticons unlocked: 117Alliance name: Mayhem Atk Squad Dreadstalker is one of our top Decepticon players, supporting one of our top alliances Mayhem Atk Squad with an impressive 7,016 medals. He also has the esteemed title of first player to reach 100,000 Combiner Bot Power!Over the past 206 days of gameplay, Dreadstalker has maxed out all of his 1-Star and 2-Star bots. His stellar roster includes 13 bots level 51 and higher, 22 4-Star bots levels 48/49 and 35 3-Star bots levels 47-50. Having won just under 23,500 battles, it’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about strategy. Scourge is by far his favorite bot, utilizing him on all of his leveling teams. His choice method of leveling is taking Scourge and 2-3 other bots into zone 11. He will strategically implement Scourge’s Fire Mission as many times as possible, hopefully clearing a path around any outposts. Congrats Dreadstalker!

I'm thinking optimus Maximus. Unless they count Shockwave with Bruticus, it would be unfair to pair a 5 bot combiner against a 6, which Victorion is

Much as I would have loved him (he's one of the four combiners I really like), I'd doubt Predaking will ever get in because he doesn't have a recent toy.
Posted by ThunderThruster on January 19th, 2017 @ 7:34am CST
While I'd love Brut to have Shockwave as a weapon, I can also see them using Viper, since they've already done the coding for Powerglide
Posted by Kurona on January 19th, 2017 @ 12:02pm CST
Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, Mirage, Prowl and Ironhide for Optimus Maximus.
Onslaught, Swindle, Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off for Bruticus.
Sorry for the terrible pictures
They both have less power but more health than Superion and Devastator. They also have the same abilities as each other; a shockwave that does 6X damage to walls, a stat buff and an ability that sends 4 missiles that deal massive damage to and disable 4 defences.
Anyone else think Optimus Maximus looks bloody weird?
Also, when you get the 2-Star crystal in the event (870 BP), it gives you story dialogue.

I'm kinda WTF on Optimus Maximus's chest design. Why not just use the toy design that can, in turn, easily translate to a Menasor design down the road? (surely you've all noticed them introducing more Stunticons on the down-low)
As far as collecting Bruticus goes, I have 60% of him: 3* Swindle, Brawl, and Blast Off, and also a 4* Blast Off. Meanwhile for Devy I have 3* Scrapper and Long Haul and 4* Mixmaster and Scavenger. So overall I have 60% of Bruticus and 67% of Devastator. Yet I expect to finish Brute more quickly.

Well, ya know, 5 instead of 6!
I have 2 of each team, so I'm already farther along towards Brute than Devy!

In all seriousness, though, the character acquisition system this game uses is one of the worst, if not THE worst, I've ever experienced in gaming.
There is absolutely no way to work towards earning a specific character that you're missing to complete one of these combiners.
I have every piece needed to form a 3* Superion EXCEPT Alpha Bravo. Had this since the combiners were first introduced in to the game, and each and every time I open a crystal it's like simply rolling a thousand dice and hoping that I get the one permutation from the RNG that gives me the missing bot.
I enjoy the gameplay, but the character acquisition system has me teetering on the brink of deleting the game entirely. It's just not fun to grind events and save up shards to have zero payoff.
Posted by Burn on January 20th, 2017 @ 10:43pm CST
Got a 3* Soundwave.
Not a dupe.
Probably would have preferred a dupe.

See, there's a very easy way to get all the characters: Spend boatloads of money on crystals! What's the problem here?

I only have 6 3*s.
Got a Dupe Brawl.

Nope. He's probably the last of the original line up that I didn't have as a 3*

So you're either still playing the beta, or you have Devastator and all the Combaticons. Which is it?

I have Devastator already and all the Combaticons... So it was an anticipatory, preemptive hit of smugness that compelled me to try and lord it over others, the Decepticon way.
Posted by Kurona on January 21st, 2017 @ 7:33am CST
He's not, say, Vortex or Thundercracker. Ignoring that the former has for obvious reasons taken on increased value...

Oh ... well ... that's a fail because yeah, I have Devastator AND all the Combaticons as well.
Plus the majority of people in this thread are Decepticon players so attempting to make any of them jealous is pretty much a waste of time. None of us care enough as long as we have Autobots to beat up

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!
With the Autobots and Decepticons both unable to rely on one Combiner, they must battle harder than ever to gain a valuable 4-Star Maximus Bot or Combaticon Crystal to construct their next Combiner.
Countdown to Combination
Now it's time to tackle the bigger problem of successfully combining. With the Aerialbots increasing fatigue, and Megatron pushing the Combaticons to their limit, the Autobots and Decepticons are focusing on the task at hand!
Fight to support your faction’s efforts and gain Energon, Alloy, Spark, 3-Star Shards, a 2-Star Crystal and a 4-Star Maximus Bot or Combaticon Crystal!
Start Date: 27/01/2017 11:00 UTC

Totaliser PrizesNew Combiners are Coming!Given the tremendous burden that each faction’s lone Combiner must shoulder, it's evident that relying on only one Combiner is not a long term solution to the enemy threat! Both factions initiate plans to form additional Combiners, each built with 5 bots to help share the massive responsibility. Collect the necessary bots and activate your Combiner in the Combiner lab to unleash colossal power upon your opponent!

Character Spotlight
Let’s take a look at Optimus Maximus and Bruticus in action!
---------------
Combiners FAQ
Q) Which bots do I need for the new Combiners?
A) You need to collect the 5 bots below to form the new Combiners.
Optimus Maximus
Bruticus
Q) Do I need different spark for these combiners?
A) Yes. You can upgrade your Combiner’s health and damage using Optimus Maximus or Bruticus Spark obtained from duplicates of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Prowl and Mirage or Combaticons in the Space Bridge.
Q) Can I switch between different Combiners?
A) No, once a Combiner is activated in the Combiner Lab you will only be able to use that active Combiner in battle. Once the activation of the Combiner expires, you may activate another Combiner.
Q) What are the new Combiner abilities?
A) These powerful Combiners come equipped with three new powerful abilities to deliver devastating damage to your opponents.
Earth Shatter - Send a powerful shock wave dealing damage to targets in a line. Deals 600% damage to walls!
Righteous Rage and Frantic Rage - Grants increased movement speed, damage reduction and a close range splash-radius attack with increased damage.Shockfire Missiles- Fire 4 missiles that lock onto enemy defenses, disabling them and dealing damage. (4-Star Only) 5-Star Crystal Shards
Starting Thursday you can collect 5-Star Crystal Shards from duplicate 4-Star Bots!
You will be able to use these Crystal Shards to purchase the 5-Star Character Crystal which unlocks a new guaranteed 5-Star Bot!
Please know that we're aware of a visual bug where you cannot see the total number of 5-Star Crystal Shards you've obtained. Any 5-Star Crystal Shards you collect over the next few weeks will become available early next month once the 5-Star Character Crystal is released. Twitch Stream

The problem I have is that there's no balance in the alliances. All the top alliances in MAS can usually get all the prizes while all of the lower alliances in MAS can barely get the prizes.
But very good promotional poster.

Are you part of the MAS family to know this as fact? (Because if I remember correctly you left the game)
