Is Something Wrong With Blaster's Energon Shield Mod in Expert 3.2?

The shield lasts forever sometimes. It's like every time he shields it renews the energon shield. At some points he even has two energon shields!

Same happens with Acceleration and Power Rate Buffs,,, Feral Strike and CRIT rate buffs.
I also experienced this.
That's confusing if it's like that. Not only that but it keeps extending the energon shield mod far longer than it should last.
So the shield which you say last forever can be Absorption shield,,,
Wait What.... It Didn't even came to my mind
While you are correct about the icons, there is still something most definitely wrong with energon shield on Blaster. I just went about 5 minutes against him with Jazz on Master, and the only damage I was able to do was from the permanent backfire debuff jazz put on him.
Energon shield dropped maybe twice at the start, then never disengaged again.
Something is wrong with the interaction between absorption shield and energon shield, no question.
@Kabam Miike @Kabam Custos or any other mod, you should look into this. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen.
The first time I went down this lane, no problems.. I failed on Tantrum so i started over, and this bug reared its head the next time I fought Blaster.
The icons are separated, so you can clearly see how slow the timer is going. I'm gonna try to take a video and trigger it to give some proof.
I don't know what's triggering this bug, but it seems to happen when I use Jazz against blaster.
I also using Jazz against Blaster and had the same thing as your. It obviously a bug here.
Also, I’m not 100%, but I thought I saw that after Blaster blocked when energon shield was down, it was back up. Not sure if it’s due to Blaster’s shield resetting it, or just the energon shield timer activated it on its own.
Interestingly, at some point near the end of the fight, the icon turned green (the color of the shield icon when Blaster is not awakened) even when it was only the energon shield leading me to believe even more so there’s a connection between the two.
Coincidentally, I was also using Jazz.
Oops, unduped Blaster shield color is blue (like the energon shield) and duped Blaster shield is green. Got the color backwards.
But the most simple effective solution will be:Every buff should have their own icon... Feral strike must show Cat Icon even if CRIT rate buffs are active,,, same same for others...
It may also fix this bug, I guess.
I'm not going to, but I can tell you there are a couple hard counters against energon shield you can use on blaster.
Scout Bee of you have him is one.
Cheetor is another.
OGMT works as well.
The bug probably won't be fixed before the end of AM, so I suggest players use bots that can nullify/shatter/steal energon shield from blaster in order to get past him with ease.
Lol, yes the problem will be "resolved" once the spotlight ends.
The part that bothers me is that they don't even care to acknowledge it or apologize.
