    I noticed they have a new space bridge, letting people get menasor. I'm ok with that. Its been 4 months, though the combiners are still pretty useless.

    To anybody wanting to jump the Stunticons bait - during the Cyberton Episode 1 I wasted 4,000 nuggets and got 2 WfC OP cores.

    Not expecting to get any other reply than "bad luck", I raised a ticket and told the support that what they were doing is very deceptive false advertising, where the visual depictions are used to deceive the mind. I got the "bad luck" and "nothing is guaranteed" and "we admit that the chances are very low anyway" answer, although they did mention that they were considering introducing guaranteed bridges due to negative feedback from the buyers.

    They really need to actually inform players of the odds before purchase. Otherwise guaranteed bridges are the way to go.

    I like how you're guaranteed a Stunticon, but 9/10 times it'll be Blackjack in all likelyhood.

    EDIT: I stand corrected, it shows only Event bots, which is very nice to see.

    And that is exactly the problem. They say you "could get: Stunticon" and picture the event characters. If you get the recruitable Stunticons, it's just bad luck because you know... you got a Stunticon just not the one you wanted. Dear player, try again ;)

    Right, for all we know the odds of motormaster are .00000000000000000001%. As tempting as it will be for the devastator event, I refuse to do that bridge until they post the odds again. Though there is no way for us to know if they are even the actual odds or not, that's how little credibility DeNa has.

    I was lucky. I had one of the bots for the Stunticons. and I ran it twice and got 3 of them so now I just need Motormaster. As as said I am sure the chances are so low I am not going to even try for him.

    Imposter! He's a DeNA employee, don't listen to him!

    Just kidding. I am very happy for you, just don't get carried away. The game still holds Motormaster hostage and I would not be surprised if you, under the initial success, spent gazillions of nuggets and still did not get Motormaster.

    I still remember TF:L and the 50:50 chance to get the bot/alt mode card and it took 11 pulls to finally make a pair. Or their glorious pvp events, when the opponent scored 10 critical hits out of his 12 attacks against my team. If DeNA is not evil and does not do this on purpose, then their RNG is totally broken and they are unbelievably incompetnt to fix it.

    Hi Deth. So you ran thru the Menasor Space Bridge 2x? Was it always 100 gold per "trip"? Am I correct in understanding you got 2 bots in one of your tries? Sorry but just trying to get enough info as seriously contemplating going for Menasor for Pokemon purposes (gotta catch them all :D )

    Hey everyone,

    Team BSJ have a couple of spots open!

    The only requirements are that you do your best. P2W or F2P, it doesn't matter in the slightest. Need a week/weekend/event off? That's fine (we all need breaks from time to time). We're just here to play and have fun with no pressures. Results not guaranteed, of course, but it's always better to be part of a team!

    Interested? PM me for details! :)

    I think I'm going to try for two Lio Convoys as well. The current event doesn't set me ablaze. Plus I can do this free to play. Will still try to at least contribute my 200k event points though. I just don't have the resources to do any power runs at the moment.

    Yes it remained 100 each time. I had some gold but brought the $9.99 gold pack. Maybe I ran 3 times, I did it late last night when I could not sleep, but each time I got one of the bots.

    The 3 in 200 odds for attacking the same bot three times happens WAAAAAY too much for it to be a .015 chance of it happening. (I use jammer 2 every round)

    I really doubt it's truly a 1/4 chance for each bot to get hit in their code.

    Is anyone else hoping that eventually they'll implement a straight up "gold for character" system...especially for older event bots that are no longer available? Do 50-100 gold for LVL3, 150-250 for LVL4 and 500 to 1000 for LVL5.

    I'd also like to see a resource trade-in for gold.

    I don't get why more people aren't excited for arcee. It's a fs team / self buff. Obviously won't be the last, but should be extremely useful. I see most teams being starscream, slag, arcee, wfc op next pvp event.

    I would add it's far superior to G2 prime and gator megs since it also serves as a self fs buff.

    The odds aren't that low. It's 1/16th (3 shots means 1/4*1/4 as the first hit is a 1). So it should happen from time to time.
    But the funny thing is that when I use blitzwing, this was weeks ago and I tried it recently, odds get a lot higher that blitzy will get two or three shotted. There is definitely something strange going on in the coding, but bots getting three shotted from time to time is not that big of a deal.

    Even ~6 per 100 matches odds is ridiculous. I play roughly 20 matches a day and it happens at least four times a day. Lol

    Got Motormaster on the fourth attempt. Do any of you recall the recruit time on Menasor?

    EDIT: Nevermind, it is 1 day 7 hours. Not bad!
