Seibertron.com's Heavy Metal War

A brief introduction. This was the big, nifty idea this site was on about recently. What is it? An odd sort of 'game'. You name a Transformer, give 'em an alt form and a weapon, and send them on missions or into the Arena for one on one. They fight the battle of good and evil, earning experience and Energon to get more badass. And so on.

It's actually fun. The time delays are frustrating if you're bored and looking for something to fill a half-hour, but for something to do in the background of actual work, it's pretty good. My limited posse of three Transformers is doing decently well, including the Helicopter 'Spinner' dominating with his ninja skillz.

Remember the Tech Stats from the old G1 toys? They're back. They all start at 0, but they actually do stuff this time. Scary.

Does that mean I have to have a piece of red cellophane to read them?

What would be a good name for a jet bot?

Have a very nice day.

Am I dirty minded for immediately thinking 'Flatulence'?

Mark S · Post by **Mark S** » 2003-06-27 07:11pm

I thought someone here said there actually was a character named Windbreaker.

And yes, Nitram, you are dirty minded, but that's beside the point.

Oh good.

And yes, I'm SirNitram over there, and so far my minions are Turbocharger, Ghosthunter, and Spinner. Sadly, Ghost and Turbo got pwned to the max and have a nice long stay in the tanks until they can fight again.

I registered, I'm Khyron. I made a Decepticon named Airburst, and pushed him into a battle right off the bat. Looks like a 5 on 1 battle, I'm gonna get my ass handed to me.

I just activated Hydrospanner, Clodhopper, and Traction Motor.

Hydrospanner's waiting for some mission to start in an hour or so. *sigh*

I'm fgalkin over there. So far, I have two bots: Doomjet and Deathfloat. Doomjet has got his ass kicked by an Autobot named Arnoldschwarzenegger

Question: how do you give your TF's weapons?

Have a very nice day.

I just activated Helldive

Post by **fgalkin** » 2003-06-27 08:17pm

I officially declare that my second Transformer, Deathfloat, has gone down in a mission. It was an Ambush mission, and we lost. But, I'm proud, becuase my guy has maimed two autobots, and was the last one of our team to go down.

My take seems to be that a mission takes an hour(Not counting recovery time), but a good, action filled mission nets like 200 XP a peice for hte winning side. Arena battles tend towards shorter, and auto-recover you, and make more money.

That being said, Spinner is kickin' ass. Dude needs a cooler sword, though.

I dont understand... do i just wait for the mission to end?

Yea. It's not the most gripping game, but I thought I made it clear it was something best left running in the background. Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough.

Ah i got scared... i thought i was suppose to be doing something. My fault, i didn't read everything

Heh. Hydrospanner was the last person in this mission to go down:

S'all good. Yes, you send your 'Bots out into the fray and wait for the timer to hit zero. You'll probably have to repair them, thus spending vital Energon, but you generally make enough. It's important to note that even at level 0 Firepower and Rank you can use weapons! Guns are so-so in general, but are cheap and numerous. Swords are rapid hit but not so hot on the damage, and Disrupters are nasty hitters with long recharge. Choose your weapon carefully!

Thanks for the game and the advice Sirnitram

thecreech · Post by **thecreech** » 2003-06-27 09:47pm

Well i just got the crap kicked out of me. Helldive kicked everyone at least once

Screw the guns.. GO FOR THE SHINS!

Turbocharger got, predictably, assraped by a Jet.

So can we all of us here create and join a clan together or some. That would be cool
