    This is what I have in my inventory, from highest rating to lowest:
    No 1*, useless
    No 2*, also useless
    3* Grindor, maxed out, forge 79, duped 3 times
    3* Ironhide, maxed out, forge 19, duped 2 times
    3* Soundwave, maxed out, forge 6, duped 3 time
    3* Bonecrusher, maxed out, forge 28, duped 2 times
    3* G1 Optimus prime, maxed out, forge 5, duped once
    I made sure I maxed out 5 bots for solo and special missions before moving on to anything else, I would like to have 7 maxed out so I can put them on base defense while I try my luck at raiding and maxing out the rest.

    I also have these guys from highest rating to lowest:
    3* Sideswipe, level 3/4
    3* Bumblebee, level 3/4
    3* Bludgeon, level 3/4
    3* Hotrod, level 3/4
    3* Drift, level 3/4
    3* Mirage, level 3/4
    3* Barricade, level 3/4
    3* Motormaster, level 3/4
    3* MV1 Optimus, level 2/4
    4* Ironhide, level 1/5
    4* Mirage, level 1/5
    3* Rhinox, level 2/4
    4* Windblade, level 1/5

    I do admit I have spent 40 USD in this game and it wasn't really worth it. What I do is I don't open any crystals for at least a month. It has worked out well for me so far. Don't give up.

    I do think we should be able to sell bots to other players.

    I'm curious AAGZ, how long have you been playing? And yes, I agree that selling bots between members could benefit the market as long as Kabam got their share of 10 - 20% of every sale made.

    Two starts arn't useless. You use them to farm gold in the form of arena chips. Selling bots/trading adds an element to the game economy that would break the game. Reference the real money item market in Diablo 3. Totally ruined the game. Too many exploits also.

    To me they are now. I have enough 3* for base defense, and other missions. I like having better chances every time.

    Well, I don't know if real money should be used, but maybe energon, raid chips or gold definitely could be a good way to do so.

    Excuse my ignorance, but when did the Beta start? I thought this game came out as a completely brand new product in early June of this year?

    Hey, I duped my Ironhide two days ago... It's not a 3* though, does this count?

    Who says I'm not also a casual player?

    This came from a 4* crystal I saved shards for.

    tip.. don't be casual. be hardcore. Not saying 6-7million arena score but just try your best collecting shards as much as possible.

    I am duped my 3* IH twice more since my last post in this thread, but still trying to get a 3* OG Prime.

    Hey Kabam, if we give you permission can you reach into both of our accounts and swap these two bots for us? Worth a shot...sk4txlynir26.png

    Hilariously. 3* Ironhide was my first pull day 1. 4* Ironhide was my first 4* pull. I don't even like Ironhide. It's no fun just pushing the WIN button over and over. About to forge 3* into my 4*.

    Which you still can't use in the three star arena... you can only use 1* or 2*. You can easily farm a ton of gold with 2* bots. Nothing in comment addresses that.

    Just keep opening crystals you will get him.

    I finally got my 3* OG Prime, I have been wanting for 5 weeks, but I didn't get him until I was level 41 it just takes time, luck, and opening a lot of crystals. How did you do in the Crystal Arena? I got enough shards for a 3* bot crystal.

    What about day 44?
  • Options
    AGBanditAGBandit Posts: 113
    Day 50: I amassed 17 crystals for the week... Do you think YOU could get a 3-Star IronHide if granted 17 crystals? Of course you could... but as for me?...

    I didn't open any crystals on Day 44 because I was saving them for the weekend. I'll be opening them every Saturday from now on to prove that no matter how many crystals I open in a row, there's no such thing as a 3-Star IronHide for me.

    Open 3* crystals, not PBC.

    You'll get your Ironhide and then this thread can finally die.

    I can't believe how ungrateful someone can be for getting 3*s just cause its not the character he wants

    This whole thread is just someone throwing a fit because he doesn't have the bot he wants. Sadly, unless he just quits playing altogether, I don't think that getting a 3* IH will stop him from whining. He'll bump it up to how Kabam will NEVER give him a 4* IH and how his 3* IH is useless.
