Commanders!
Starting with the release of Tantrum, in addition to their 3-Star and 4-Star variants, you will now be able to purchase a 5-Star Version of the Featured Bot! This will be no easy task Commanders, as a 5-Star Featured Bot will cost you 1,000,000 Bot Chips!
This is certainly a lofty goal, but from what we’ve seen, there have been Commanders in the past that have approached this threshold for many of our Bot releases. This also gives Commanders something more to strive for, if they choose that this is a worthy goal for them. We’re also going to be monitoring this to ensure that it gives Commanders a challenge to accomplish, but is not impossible.
To help you all out, we’re also introducing 2 special Double Chips Events every month! Week 2 will now award double Chips for Alliance Missions, and Week 4 will award Double Chips for Bot Chip Arenas.
We’re also introducing a brand new Featured Bot Crystal available to all Commanders Level 40 or above! This new Crystal will cost 300 Energon, and guarantees a 3-5 Star Bot, with a chance to award a 5-Star Tantrum, as well as a 4-Star Tantrum, Jazz, or Cheetor!
Both of these will go live tomorrow at ~10am PT with the release of Tantrum!
Aim high, Commanders!

That said, it’s great that we even have a shot at a 5 star feature bot in such direct terms. I’m amazed that I can consistently dupe and max the 4 star feature bot every month!
I’ll see how close I can get, and post back the results later. I’ve saved 2 five star bot crystals and 8 four star bot crystals. I’ll also buy all the Energon deals, and run all the content I can without getting divorced.
Without getting divorced, lol. So true
not a bum but yea a chum!
Lol. I have one 5 star only. For the rest, it's time to put my house on sale & sell my stocks for Kabam. Lol
Definitely want to know who was cracking 1 mil then cause you are one of the few people I thought might have.
So unless I save my crystals for 2-3 months, it's not for me.
It's already so hard not to open during 1 month...
Im with you here,..the months I have grinded and spent heavy on the game I haven't even gotten close to that number. .....similar to yours.
Unless they increase the amount of chips we get from every aspect of the game, I dont really see this as a realistic goal to achieve in one month.... you may just need to hoard crystals for an additional month on top of grinding heavy. Both of those take the fun away from the game.
So bad move on Kabam for this one,... (personally speaking).
You know it’s bad when both me and @Synthwave say the same thing cause we grinding lol. Even the double bot chips might help but the majority of my Bot chips come from dupes which are gained from hoarding for a month.
I’ll give it a shot but I’m not optimistic. Unless the counts are upped in other places that will help like dupes, special missions, away missions, and doubled in raids as well. Like I said I’ll try lol
did u mean player that could have got 1m
or player that got 1m?
500k would already be a challenge for most of the players, inc. in top alliances
It is damn near impossible. Even if u open 20 4* crystals that's only 200k, let's say u get lucky and dupe a 5* bot... Now you're at 250k.
The chip arena only gives you a measly 2,250. You could run it on for a month and still not even make a dent.
This just sucks the fun and life out of this game with feats like this.
This is extremely counter productive for what you're trying to accomplish within the pool of players/community. Extremely.
I would be shocked if more than 10 players actually go for this, and even more shocked if more than 5 even got it.
This amount of chips would only be considered reasonable if the chips we received from month to month were generic. That way a player could save up chips for a couple of months to earn their 5*. Doing this would also make it easier for players to open up bot crystals as they get them, instead of hording them for a month as they wait for the new bot to be released.
It was mentioned a few have come close to this mark. I’m guessing that means if they put in a good amount of purchases from the energon store and more, they could’ve come just a wee bit closer....
With money, all is possible yes
Like me near the end game having a new Crystal that gives us 3* and above with a chance at a 5* is great
And yes I've spent a ton on this game so my opinion absolutely should matter to kabam.
I think 1mil is a little too high, but...
Having said that, I do like the idea that a 5* feature bot is something not everyone will go for every month, not even whales.
Now, players will probably go for the minimum 4* dupe, 3* single bot and hoard surplus crystals until they see a 5* feature bot they REALLY truly want.
This keeps the bot rosters and game diverse instead of every player getting every bot across the board.
Still... I think somewhere in the area of 500-750k would have been much more accepted by the community, and even made awakening a 5* bot achievable every few months for a good chunk of players.
Hopefully we will see the bar lowered a bit after a few months of testing.
