Alpha Bravo/Long Haul

Okay, quick question?
I just won the 5,000 energon cubes but if I use it but don't have the capasity for the entire 5,000 will my cup runith over or will it spend like currency letting the remaining cubes sit in inventory? I don't wanna waste a single energon cube.

Okay so that event thing started, right?
Well I racked up eight hundred and something battle points, ran out of fuel cells, and decided to leave it for a bit and watch something till I got more.
When I came back, I now have 0 battle points. Anyone know what the heck's up with that?

Okay so thankfully my battle points weren't actually gone. It was displaying as 0 and when I got 133 Battle Points, naturally, it went to 133. But I got the 1,000-point reward - the mixed boost crystal - sooooooo basically it's just a display glitch.

If you beat the event, do you loop around and start accumulating points again for another crystal, or is that it?

You can complete the event a total of 3 times, so you could get a total of 3 crystals

The extra experience is nice too. I wasn't able to play much last weekend. I wonder if we will still be able to fight and gain experience once you've completed the 3 levels.

So this third base in the current war is giving me some trouble. I went at it with my top bots and lost. I can take out the beam laser but the mortar still gives me trouble, and I don't have the bot power to take it down before getting killed myself. Team was Megatron, Bonecrusher, Scrapper (lv 18), Starscream, and Slipstream (lv 19), all 2 star, all level 20 except as marked.

It doesn't sound like you have enough horse power. What is your squads max power lvl? What level is the HQ, mortars and beam laser?
From the looks I'm guessingm the HQ is lvl 6,mortars 4-5 and the laser is 1 maybe 2?
I'd say you may need a squad of around 1000-1200.

Hit the beam laser and mortars with Slipstream and Starscream (always my first move), get that heavy damage range off your back right away. Be careful of Optimus popping out, but as long as that beam laser is out of the way he's easier to manage.
That tight configuration is murder on the melee but if you can get rid of the fire you might be able to work it out.
That one is a level 7 base if I remember right. I brought out the level 30's for that one because it was a bit too if with the level 20's for me to risk.

Yeah, it's a level 7 base. I don't have the points to take out the beam laser AND the mortars before deploying everybody else, it takes two air strikes from an offensive seeker to destroy any one, and Slipstream's fusion bomb doesn't do enough damage on its own. I can send Tantrum in there to attract some heat but generally his ability wears off before the mortars get more than one shot in on him and at that point my ability points are sapped. I'm base level 6 right now, so level 21+ bots are still a few base levels away from me. This might be my breaking point for this war.

Might be. Base 4 was about the same, the commander was level 8. There's always a chance luck might be on your side ![:)]( "Smile")

As JakePrime I earned 2* Blast Off and Kickback and a duplicate 2* Bludgeon in this past event through the premium crystals.
So are there any more codes out there we can use for our Decepticon Alliance?

Premium Crystal 1 got me 2* Swindle... which I already had.
Premium Crystal 2 got me... 2* Swindle are you joking
Thankfully the last one was kind enough to grant me 2* Long Haul. Who has been surprising me as a rather good gunner.

This event has allowed me to max level all my bots, which is nice. First crystal got me a 2 star Kickback, who is now level 17. I haven't redeemed my second crystal yet and I'm still grinding for the third. Despite all my bots I can still only reliably hit at the third tier, and sometimes not even then, but that's mostly poor strategizing on my part I think. Sorry I haven't been very active in the wars during this event, I only have so much time and I'm prioritizing this event.
