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.

Got a 3* Soundwave.
Not a dupe.
Probably would have preferred a dupe.

Wait, you didn't already have 3 star Soundwave?

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.

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!

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!

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)

I am technically commander of Seibertron, yes, as my second account is the commander. But we dissolved the alliance. I'm with MAS.

Just so you know, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. And yes I did leave the game ...
Posted by ctrlFrequency on January 26th, 2017 @ 8:00pm CST
If you aren'the part of MAS you don'the know how it works.
MAS, DZ, EF, and MAS Destruction don't hoard the prizes (I assume you mean during leader board). MAS is the only one capable of top 5, and routinely bring up anyone capable of making the required points to get the leaderboard prizes.
During totalizers, once one of the top 80 alliances finish, we move others down to the feeders to help them finish. When someone goes to log off for the night, someone else takes there place all to make sure everyone finishes.
So everyone gets prizes, it's uninformed to say the top ones leave the feeders in the cold.

I knew I wouldn't get Vortex !
Not complaining, mind you. I love my 3 star Brawl, and I ran the risk of getting a dupe Blast Off. Thankfully I already figured I wouldn't get Vortex.

Well, laugh it up. I knew I wouldn't get a Vortex... and just like Devy and the missing Mixmaster, I will eventually get him.
Meanwhile I got a solid 4 star gunner that I like (unless it was a dupe, there isn't a Combaticon I would be disappointed in) and am not stressing while chasing the all mighty Combiner. It will eventually happen. Besides, I need a lot of Bruticus spark.
Posted by Burn on January 29th, 2017 @ 4:43pm CST
Also have a 4* Nightbird so that kinda balances things out in the "haha I'm not that great after all" way of things.

For Bruticus, I have 3 stars of Swindle, Brawl, and Blast Off, and a 4 star of Blast Off as well. So I probably would have gotten a 4 star Swindle or Brawl, and not one of the two I needed.

Sunstar, you don't have to look for a new alliance. Just send another request to Seibertron ll, we would love to have you back.
