Okay since a great deal of us have at least one upgrade.

So far what do you think is the best one?

Speed isn't too bad...but firepoewr does access a better gun and strength does access armor.

ARRRGH THE BASTARDS TAUNT ME!!!!

I AM #26!!!!

Skylight anyway

Well for me, I went for the strength upgrade first. Not only do I get armor, but I think that my punches and kicks do more damage. Considering the frequency with which you punch and kick in the game, the more damage they do the better.

EDIT: I have a question too: how the hell are you supposed to bet on a certain transformer during an arena fight?

Ghost Rider: I went for Endurance for Defender Supreme. He only fought one battle so far, but he did seem to take less damage in it.

Shadow Warchief: You can't bet on Arena matches. That option was considered, but never implemented.

Have a very nice day.

That's cool. Pod Racer has, you guessed it, a laser cannon now

Btw, he meets Blasteroid, who also has a lascannon here

Let's see how they fare against each other.

Have a very nice day.

The FAQ disagrees with you

What are Current Battles?

http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/arena-current.php

This is a list of the battles which are underway and the battles which will begin shortly. Results of battles are available as soon as the battle is finished. The Transformers involved in the battle are listed grouped by allegience. The odds displayed next to the allegience are the odds of that allegience winning the battle. The odds displayed next to the Transformer's name (and level) are that Transformer's odds of surviving the battle. You can bet on any battle which has not yet started. Be aware that odds are updated every minute and do change. If you place a bet, you do not receive the odds at the time you placed your bet; you receive the odds at the time the battle begins. These odds may have changed by then.

So really the question becomes is it a feature that they intend to do but haven't yet implemented or is it a feature that they scrapped completely and have forgotten to take out of the FAQ?

I just created 2 Autobots, Splitscreen (car) and Geneshaft (heli). Any tips for a newbie on this?

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-02 08:31am

Disruptor Rifles are nice.

Swords are cool

I've yet to see a good thing for guns.

A few tip thingies....and well pick carefully for your first power up, because it'll be a very long while till the next.

Post by **fgalkin** » 2003-07-02 12:57pm

And learn tactics. They are extremely important, and give youy helluvalot of points in missions. I've actually gone so far, as to spend the first 1000 of expierince of one of my bots on ramming, rather than a skill.

Have a very nice day.

The good thing is that you can upgrade tactics and then still only have to spend 1000 xp on something like skill or strength.

generator_g1 · Post by **generator_g1** » 2003-07-02 11:28pm

Geneshaft won his first mission while Splitscreen lost...

Post by **Gandalf** » 2003-07-03 04:52am

I now have an account there, I'm darthmanveru.

I now also have my first Transformer, Batleth.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-03 02:29pm

Well slowly and surely get my second stat upgrade...then I'll do a skill/transformation.

Close...just need another arena battle or two.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2003-07-03 02:31pm

Blastech now ranks ~150, which is cool.

27 more points and he'll have his third upgrade as well.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-03 05:08pm

Oi jeebus.

Make your first two choices COUNT...the next stat that youd didn't put something in costs 9000XP.

Oi vey.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2003-07-03 06:33pm

Blastech currently has intelligence and tactics. I'm going to up his tactics another level, which should allow me to gun for 7k XP for an upgrade to something like endurance.

Damn check out this one sided battle

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-03 08:08pm

LMAO...wow.

Well next few points I'm putting into tactics and the stats I picked

Unless someone shows mean that one of the other will turn the tide of battle instantly

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-03 10:26pm

Okay I win an arena battle...and the other guy gets more XP and Energon?!

Oi...weird bug.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-04 08:03pm

#23...and climbing.

Guess my jet is so far the best of the batch.

Flawless Victory against someone who started at full strength.

I wonder why he never went for physical attacks though.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-05 09:34pm

Must reach top ten again!!!

So close.....so close.
