New Characters
Pipes and Offroad are making their way through the Space Bridge in this weekend’s event. Get a first look at the new bots and their special abilities!
Pipes (Warrior)Tough, brave and very strong; Pipes notable talent is to emit clouds of toxic, corrosive fumes from his exhaust pipes. Whilst it can melt through 2" inch thick steel plating, it's not something you really want to shout about! Still, he's a good 'bot to have on your team if you need a solid, sturdy and dependable warrior, just... don't get downwind of him.
Defensive Rush - Put a protective shield that blocks 80% damage for several seconds, then charge the target. Attracts defenses!
Offroad (Warrior)Being the new Stunticon on the block, and not yet trusted by his teammates, Offroad inevitably gets the assignments no one else wants, which actually suits him fine. It gives him plenty of opportunities to show off his extreme-conditions combat training and generally go where no Decepticon has gone (or wants to go) before.If anything, Offroad overcompensates, and ends up making his fellow Stunticons look a bit... pedestrian.
Shattering Charge - Rush into combat leaving trails of Glass Gas behind. Affected targets take more damage for several seconds

As well as Pipes having a face. I know his CW toy had one due to being a straight-up Huffer recolour, but... no.
Shattering Charge though? Hell yeah

I did the best I could, I don't get the email

Same to you, grumpy.

Yeah, I'd love to see you have to deal with some of the douchebags on this site and stay happy.
Like I said.
Whatevs.

Max said he was unable to get the VIP email because of his connection, Kurthy had a screen from AH's chat so I posted it. Maybe I used too few words because I've been having trouble with the forum (it has currently completely locked up my phone because a video is trying to play, I imagine off the ads) but I wanted to thank Kurthy.
There was nothing malicious, nothing even snarky, nothing sarcastic, no hidden meaning.... if I need to I will put disclaimers on all my posts. I'm done with drama so I'm not intentionally trying to start any.

He's basically a Sideswipe clone, so a bot could probably answer that best

Offroad? You okay there buddy?
This weekend's been awesome for me. 2-star Offroad, friggin' 3-star Soundwave, and right now 3-star Offroad. And I thought I'd be too busy playing Pokémon to do any good in the event lol
Posted by Burn on November 27th, 2016 @ 3:10pm CST
So I complain.
They give me five more Scavenger crystals.
Not even a duplicate 2* Scavenger.
13 Scavenger crystals and not a single Scavenger. The other Constructicon crystals? Oh sure, they gave up Constructicons. But not Scavenger ...

He's 3-star exclusive, so that might explain your trouble. Still absolutely ridiculous though, I realise this is bread and butter for free-to-play games but they really need to ease up on the drop rates a little.

... wait, really? He was a 3-star exclusive as far as I was aware and according to that doc.

Really? he doesn't even register as a 2* con in my missing con lists... I didn't think 2* version of him exist.

According to my list, the total number of characters I can have is 120. One of the other guys in my Alliance only has 116.
I'm betting I picked up a couple of extras before the game went global.
Posted by Kurona on November 27th, 2016 @ 10:43pm CST
In any case, yeah; Scavenger isn't available at 2-star so like I said that might explain the added rarity.

you'll get it. I think drop rate is pretty high on this. I got my 4* on the first crystal I opened.
Posted by Burn on November 28th, 2016 @ 12:11am CST
I got a bit of energon, which annoyed me, because I'm 7 days between upgrades so I can easily haul it in.

I can't tell you what the logo is (not in hame to search or a Bot) but it should be the only Seibertron alliance that's Autobot and has more than 3 members. So if you search, only 1 should come up for you (as a Bot, you can't attempt to join a Con version of the alliance so you won't see the 3 Con Seibertron's)
As for the Off Road haul.... I got a 2 star and a 3 star, 54 bleeding crystals, no 4 star, but everyone else I know got a 4 Stat :/ (well, at least I got a 3 star, and enough shards for a 3 star Megs). Ended up with a ton of spark so I'm giddy

Same; I've got about 75,000 spark right now. Would've loved a 4-star but if that, a ton of shards and 3-star Offroad and Soundwave is what I get instead... I don't have room to complain.

Have you seen how much it takes to raise an ability to 6? You'll go through that spark fast.

Heck yeah; saw the requirement for Level 7 is 130K and... hoo boy, surprised I didn't have nightmares. Hence why I'm extremely glad to get more; though I used quite a bit of it already (I always upgrade new 2-stars to Level 3 immediately and 3/4-stars to Level 4).

Argh, and I thought I was unlucky to get a dupe Nightbird when I had 9 3*... really sorry to hear. But at least 3* Offroad kind of makes up for it, right?

Dupes are a way of life, get used to them. However, going back to the spark topic, they become very helpful for spark and shards. There are times I wish for dupes.

Possibly a year and a half for a 3 star Shockwave. 5 years for Soundwave (and the game will have been retired by then, will receive email notification I suspect)
Edit: I didn't know you were in DZ, Mooncake, just popped into MAS Family Global and saw you! (I'm currently putting the Destruction in MAS Destruction, surprisingly, they haven't taken away my grenades yet...)

Yep it's the new one
Kurthy tricked them into letting me in MAS Octo, I was there a week when they decided to form MD, I was one of the first people moved to it. I really was way too high level for MO.
We finished almost 53 levels, I think we could have gotten them all but a lot of people were busy.

Besides, I wasn't sure that I was ready for Cybertron league wars (I'm not). Still trying to build up a solid A team.
And I can imagine you'be been waiting for the opportunity to utter those words to someone :p
