Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!The chase comes to an end! Will Perceptor make it back to Earth safely, or will he be forced to go 1-on-1 with Lockdown?!
Target Locked!
Lockdown has tirelessly tracked Perceptor’s every move, sticking to his heels like a bad case of cyber-ticks! With the tempting reward in his sights, the Decepticon bounty hunter will not rest until Perceptor is hanging on his trophy wall. Perceptor’s options are to run until the last of his Energon is depleted, hide and hope that Optimus can recall him in time, or stand and fight. As an Autobot, there is only one logical choice - to stand and fight!
Battle on this weekend’s event leaderboard for a chance at a guaranteed 2, 3, or 4-StarPerceptor or Lockdown!

New Characters
At long last, the Space Bridge has locked onto Perceptor and Lockdown and their transfer is imminent!
Perceptor (Special)
Extremely intelligent, with a data-storage capacity second to none, Perceptor's thirst for knowledge is unquenchable, and it's pure science - not battle - that lights his circuits. Perceptor is the go-to 'bot when it comes to adapting to Earth combat. Although good-natured and affable, Perceptor doesn't really play well with others.
Defense Hack
Hack a defense making it attack other defenses with double attack speed but 75% damage.
Ability cost: 4
Lockdown (Special)Though a Decepticon by allegiance, Lockdown's three priorities are me, myself and I. All business, he runs a very tight ship, and once locked on his target his grapple hook never deviates or waivers until the job is done.
It's only ever personal if someone else makes it so.
Mini Laser
Place a mini Beam Laser to attack nearby targets for the next 30 seconds.Ability cost: 3

Or his long neck. Not sure if the devs really know what makes Lockdown unique. It isn't his car mode alone, but that seems to have been their focus.

Just take a look at the technicolor reject that is Perceptor. It looks like they got some low quality pictures of his G1 toy and have no idea how to do chrome.

Project Supernova
Project Supernova was formed by a coalition of Earth governments after the arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons. It is humanity's attempt to harness the scraps of Cybertronian technology they've scavenged and use it to humanity's benefit and defense!
After months of toil, Project Supernova has produced its first tangible results, the Nova Power Core.

I don't know, really. I can't see a benefit for me in it. All it seems to do is make it easier to switch, which people were asking for, but not be able to team up with your Autobot buddies.

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!
Project Nova research site is in ruins, Reflector is on the run and First Aid has gone missing. Meanwhile, the missing Nova Core is pouring radiation into the atmosphere...
Bit of a Longshot
With First Aid missing, it’s lucky he didn’t go it alone. Smokescreen was ready to provide cover fire with his Sniper abilities for First Aid, and now he's forced to take center stage and get a handle of the situation.
Megatron’s lack of faith has prepared him for this potential failure, as Brake-Neck was assigned to secretly provide support for Reflector with his own Sniper abilities.
Secure the Project Supernova facility and earn Alloy, Spark, Energon, 3-Star Shards and Tactical Crystals!

* Tactical Crystals contain one of of the following:Spark, Energon, 3-Star Shards, 4-Star Shards, or 2, 3, or 4-Star Smokescreen or Brake-Neck!New CharactersWhen a situation seems desperate, you can count on a Sniper such as Smokescreen
or Brake-Neck to clean up the mess! Catch them transmitting through the Space Bridge this weekend.
Smokescreen (Sniper)
Everything Smokescreen does is designed to mislead.
Nothing is what it seems, and every surface action has a lurking ulterior motive. Misinformation is the weapon he wields to wrong-foot and lead the enemy astray.⏎
He even uses his affable nature to root out the deepest concerns of his fellow Autobots. And in car mode, his tailpipe emits a screen of thick black smoke to mask his maneuvers.
A true smokescreen.
Execute!
Instantly destroy a building below 25/30/35% health or snipe an enemy bot dealing large damage. Cannot execute the HQ
Brake-Neck (Sniper)
When it come reckless, Brake-Neck is in a class of his own. Opponents and allies think his head-on, who-blinks-first combat tactics are a bluff, that no one can be that wild and impetuous, but the truth is Brake-Neck really is nuts.
He doesn't care, and that's what makes him so dangerous.
Despite this, Brake-Neck is a bag of nerves, and sudden loud noises are prone to make him take off like a bat out of hell.
Execute!
Instantly destroy a building below 25/30/35% health or snipe an enemy bot dealing large damage. Cannot execute the HQ
Factions
Have you ever wanted to play as the opposing faction? As we’ve received an overwhelming amount of requests from players asking for the ability to switch factions, we are excited to announce the first new game mode since the game’s release! With Factions, players will now have the opportunity to increase their team power by unlocking up to 35 new Bots from the opposing faction for a chance to lead Autobots and Decepticons in PvP battles and events from a single account! Autobots can now channel the dark side as they destroy mortars and lasers as Nemesis Prime, while Decepticons can practice tearing up buildings with Grimlock!
New Crystals
Several new Crystals will be available to players to unlock their favorite characters of the opposing faction.
Autobot Premium Crystal: Chance to get a 2-star or greater Autobot!
Autobot 3-Star Crystal: Contains a 3-Star Autobot!

It took me by surprise, too. First 0 increase they've had, but considering how hard it is to use the ability...

I ended up being replaced in the Seibertron one due to the fact that I joined in the middle of some life stuff, which led me to being inactive for quite a while. I totally understand, though. They needed the space.
