And why are they two Dinobots?
There are two dinobots because im not very bright, he is supposed to be S tier
I'm surprised that you put Ratchet that low
Same, but was it because of Ironhide?
I stopped reading at Ironhide in God tier...
No point putting ogprime in the same pool as HR as they serve very different purposes
Beyond that, most bots range from amazing to pretty good and some shine in some situations more so than others. Sideswipe and Mixmaster for me are the only two bots that don't really have a role in any game mode specifically or against certain bots.
Rat could use a buff
Also The fact you put Grindor on the 2nd last list means you have absolutely no idea how to use the bot. Lots of grindors out there destroy AM.
Personally, I think he's better on Base defense. His damage isn't on par with other Brawlers. Motormaster does more damage without his signature ability and Motormaster is arguably one of the weaker ones.
However, what (I personally think) Grindor lacks in damage, he makes up for in his health and armor. While his power increases, so does his damage, and he needs something in order to survive hits. Luckily, his 17% passive armor and potential 41% armor buff enables that.
Some bots are more useful than others, Beasts seem to have the best abilities, Autobots have the best synergies, Cons have the highest overall damage output, and in the hands of the right player, each can shine.
I personally LOVE Hot Rod, Grimlock, and UM Because I have an aggressive playstyle...HR has good crits, UM can take a beating, Grim shrugs off everything... My style, my God Tier
In my opinion, I have a pretty good line up.
Ramjet = Burn and daze
Bludgeon = Bleed
Tantrum = Unstoppable
Barricade = Backfire
Cyclonus = Dark Field to stop and daze unstoppable bots
(This is not my opinion, this is a fact)

You forgot Wheeljack.
Crap, forgot to put him on Useful Tier
I thought he belonged on Big poo poo Tier...
An example of 'first name on the team sheet' would be Prowl, or maybe Shockwave. In Prowl's case, there are only a handful of bots that are difficult to fight with him e.g. Bonecrusher and Nanojack.
An example of a bot that never makes my team is Mixmaster. If I need a Demo bot for any reason, it's never him. I would always choose someone like Megatronus or Galvatron, regardless of synergies.
Examples of situational bots, would be Grimlock and Cyclonus. Grimlock ALWAYS joins my raid team, even if there aren't any Warriors on D. He is simply too useful for countering HA, as well as shocks, burns etc.
For various Spotlights, where unstoppable is concerned, or Motormaster is on the path, I always take Cyclonus. Similarly, Grimlock always comes if Bonecrusher is on a path, while Rhinox comes for Megatronus.
There are some bots I simply never use, because other options are universally better. Examples would include Mixmaster, Dinobot, Blaster, Jetfire etc.
Did you get your Bees mixed up? Scout Bumblebee (shield break and power lock) is a lot more useful than DOTM Bee.
As for Sideswipe, i've always liked his speed and maneuverability, but he just doesn't do enough damage... One thought I had was maybe increase ignore armor along with his crit rate buffs.. And he needs some synergies, dammit.
Another point here, is that I assume your Grimlock is unduped? Once he's duped, he will become one of the most important bots on your entire roster. He counters a huge number of painful situations, from Bonecrusher, to shock block, to energon shield, to burns etc, etc, etc. MV1 Optimus is good, but he only works with bleeds. Grimlock ignores bleeds, shocks, and burns. Incredibly useful for raids, Spotlights, AMs, you name it.
Megatron (GS), Rhinox, Barricade, and Bonecrusher should be placed one tier higher.
And what about the Sharks?!?!?!
mate are you sure you are playing Transformers Forged to Fight?
Go take a look at the top alliances and then take a look at how many Megatronus' there are. We didn't all rank him up to sit on our bases. He can literally destroy any bot, any class in any mode on any mod. He does more damage than any other bot with his orange relic and can tank damage better than nearly any other bot with his blue relic. He can power steal and he can repair. He can do instant damage to bypass armour and shields. He can prevent buffs and debuffs when duped.
He is arguably THE God tier and the rest are beneath.
Uhhh what? You really think he can only take on tacts? Those armour breaks, the heal steal and the dark burns can go through any brawlers armour (even primal). His sig can stop ANY debuff from being applied to him, he can crit on the last hit of his medium melee so his crits are kind of controlled, and he has a higher armour and attack rating then anyone else. I really have no idea what you are talking about
Nope. As much as I prefer Geewun over Bayverse, I can't deny that DOTM Bee is slightly better than GS Bee in terms of damage. Bay-Bee can stack his damage easily by spamming his heavies and SP1. He's a good bot for longer fights, like Mirage and Jazz. But since he only shines in those fights, I had to put him in Useful tier.
You can also an hero his teammates to give him 2-4 temporary attack buffs, just to ramp up his damage earlier in battle
GS Bee on the other hand hits as hard as Side "pillow hands" Swipe. Those Shield Breaks are so far only great against Energon Shield mods in spotlight missions. What other special shields would he able to break? Rhinox's shields will immediately be nullified when he's struck, Mirage's shield only procs when you use a ranged special attack, Blaster's shield will expire before you can even land a crit, Jetfire's shield uhhh... maybe Soundwave's reflect shield?
His Power Lock is somewhat useful in certain situations i.e. Power Rate/Power Gain mods.
That being said, Bay Bumblebee > GS Bee.
My apologies to Manthro and Bumblebee
Ahhh...I should have put him on Awwright tier.
I would have even put him on Great or Demi-god tier if it weren't for the Furry team cucking him and shaking the game's meta. Put his survivability/purification ability aside and you have a Sharkticon. Grimlock hits like Ratchet if you have enough melee damage buffs. Not to mention you have to keep spamming his heavies every seconds otherwise you'll lose those buffs, the main source of his damage.
Grimlock is a literal 1-trick pony who isn't even great at its trick
Because I'm bored
I did reconsider putting G1 Megs on God Tier along with his arch-nemesis Optimus Prime
Speaking of Megatron, I think I forgot to include ROTF Megs (He's going to be in Great tier btw)
Barricade's backfire doesn't stack that often. What sucks is that you can't stack his SP1 BF. And is it just me or is Backfire a reverse-Confuse debuff? Don't get me wrong, my opponent sometimes does use a special attack when Backfire's active, but not as much they do without BF
Bonecrusher's heavy bleed damage is utter garbage, period
Now, let's move on to his other types of bleed:
- The best bleed he has comes from his SP1 but it hardly ever procs
- His SP2 bleeds are just "fancier" versions of his heavy bleeds
- His SP3 is pure trash and literally no one uses it
His Anti-evade is no better, you already know how it works so I don't have to explain it here
His signature ability relies on whether you can stack his bleeds. From what I've seen, it's not that good of a sig. Giving bleed duration increase would be much better than bleed damage increase, because that's what he needs right now. Without longer bleed effects, his Pure Hate absolutely blows
BC is mostly used by newbies and inexperienced players whose only skill is spamming heavies until they eat an entire special attack from the opponent. But unlike Motormaster and Wheeljack, he's just extremely mediocre to the point that he's boring to play as
Bonecrusher will just always be a "terrifying" Base Defender for those who can't counter him.
Comparing Sharkticons with these guys is like comparing pawns to knights, so I won't include them here
