    Day 220: Today is Bumblebee Day! Watch the video and you'll see why...

    In all seriousness, my search continues to awaken my newly acquired 3-Star IronHide but a new dilemma is on the horizon. Should I forge my 1* IH into my 2*IH before forging into my 3*? OR should I forge my 1* AND 2* at the same time into my 3* IH? If confused, watch the video to find out more... thanks!

    The answer is... It makes no difference, you don't lose forge XP doing it either way, BUT.....

    only click and forge ONE bot at a time when doing it. There are instances where forging is bugged selecting multiple bots and it'll simply ignore the forge XP from one or more of the forge fodder you are using.

    Has happened to me before, and others on this forum.

    The differential you see when comparing the different combinations of forging is nothing more than a visual glitch. Do one bot at a time. You'll always see and get the correct amount of forge XP.

    There is a tiny bit of potential xp loss. If you forge same bot into same higher starred bot, you get a small bonus, so if you have a 2/3/4* IH, it is ever so slightly better to first forge 2->3 and then 3->4 because 2->4 will only give you same class bonus and not the bot bonus. I think. I could be wrong, and bot bonus is also applied from 2->4. Maybe someone should check that out.

    I consider my 3* Ironhide to have far more combat ability than my 4*. He’s got so many dupes it makes him very hard hitting. Plus he’s maxed forged and that makes a lot of difference in his ability. 226ebo1benbd.png

    You duped him at least 17 times? Here I am with barely one... My most duped 3* bot are my Prime's at 3x each. WTH? I guess being LVL 50 has it's privileges!

    Or, maybe he worked hard to earn more crystals ... Or maybe he chose to do raids when demo sig was available. Maybe he plays sig arena. Maybe hes more active. This, this was the most narrow of anything you said. Lmao

    But on topic, congrats on ur 3* IH, took me forever to get him as well... For. Ev. Er. And I grind, much more than you do mate. However, the dup came within a few weeks, so yay for that !

    Take some heart that at least your favorite bot EXISTS in this game. I have been crossing my fingers for JAZZ every month since I got into this game last summer. The snubbing of the first-lieutenant continues.....

    I'm pulling for Jazz too! Having Barricade as the only Movie Scout in my lineup does NOT bode well with my other Autobots...

    Congrats Bandit, glad it finally happened for you. I do work the signature bounty pretty hard when it comes up. My 3* is now at level 95 on his signature ability. Enjoy the duped Ironhide.

    you're playing the game too casually.. try spend more time in it and it'll pay off better.

    Spend more money more like :lol: jk, all about practice, knowing what’s right and what’s not like prowls sp2. Find yourself an alliance get involved with am, that really helps boost your skills. When Expert is nerfed you’ll be able to grow real fast

    I could max forge my 4* Ironhide now, but that would mean dropping 20+ bots. I will try to max out more 3* and 2*. Don't want to lose too many.

    No mate, you're not going to prove anything at all. I'm sorry but you play at such a low and basic level compared to so many, that whatever you think is beating this game, isn't beating the game. If you want to beat story mode, fine, good on you. But trust me, to play this game at the top level, 3* bots don't cut it.
