So, despite the fact that I made this during 7.0, I'd still like to post this. ( LINK )
This is a bot tier list that gives my own personal opinions on the bots. It focuses on what they're good at and the things most people would look at with this bot.
A few things to note:
This is a bot tier list that gives my own personal opinions on the bots. It focuses on what they're good at and the things most people would look at with this bot.
A few things to note:
- The ranks range from S to D tier. S tier obviously being the highest, while D is the lowest.
- This is a sort of brief overview. For full explanations, please request it from me.
- The list will be updated when a new bot comes out. New pages will be added when bot rebalances are applied.
- Please, let me know if you agree or not and why!

But Bumblebee above Windblade? Shockwave below Rhinox? Motormaster below Grimlock?
Why? Why? Why?
I can see why he did Bee below Windblade...Windblade is a pathetic excuse at a warrior...and why is she a scout?
Shockwave being below rhinox is absurd same goes for Grimlock Above MM
ew
I’ll try making my own list some time
--Megatronus sitting on RR (it's bugged, btw. 0%-full power par in 17 seconds, instead of 32 like the math says)
S Tier
--Megatronus post balance patch
A Tier
--Prowl
--Generations Megatron
--Waspinator (If the AI is using him)
--Maybe Thundercracker, since his heavy block appears bugged to stop both melee and ranged as long as the bot has a non-flying alt-form
A- Tier
--Everyone else
C Tier
--Waspinator (If I'm using him)
D Tier
--Hound
Good work @Warrior2410 . I agree that any tier list is purely subjective, but I really like how you highlight each of the various bot’s strengths and weaknesses.
We as a community need more members like you, taking time to create maps, content, guides, etc. Thanks!
These types of lists were super helpful to me when I first joined the Forge!
A list can only be made if you’ve played fully with every bot, it has to be fair
Dude are u inightskies?
I am actually watching your tier YouTube video. That chart is great man.
Kickback has far too low hp to be the number scout, and while his special two is insane with the power leaks and bleeds, having that low a health bar can be disastrous for non-ninjas. It took ages to actually get good enough with Kickback to understand that the best way to play with him was to always dodge after a combo, and never get hit by a combo. In higher level content, Kickback can be wasted with only 15 non-blocked hits. And Barricade, while quite good, is only good because he prevents usage of special attack. Apart from that, he is simply a regular scout with a high crit rate and and a lower hp. Neither of these are sustainable or logical choices for top one or two. And I don't hate these bots at all. Kickback is now my main scout, and barricade used to be my main scout. But it is what is @Bntyhntr3232_ .
If used correctly he is devastating...I didn't say everyone agreed
😁
His damage output is excellent, plus his evade and SP2 power steal is what keeps him in the fight against Boss-Tronus.
Yea, he cant take a hit, just like Kickback, but unlike the Insecticon, he's got a pretty decent ranged attack.
Previously, Map 3 MVP was G1 Megs, who's now a complete liability in the final section.
Mind you though, your points on Kickback are 💯, albeit he's not such a wuss anymore after his buff.
Yeah that makes sense. Barricade's evade definitely keeps me from using a heavy or special, or at least keeps me wary. An immediate power steal on his special two is definitely worthwhile, especially considering I remember that it did an exceptional amount of damage. And the ranged attack part definitely makes him superior to Kickback, as though I use kickback's ranged to help allow him to that dash in attack, it rarely ever does a significant amount of damage or critical. However, what makes Barricade's ranged more important is that it is an energy attack. Against Ultra Magnus and the Tact Sharkticon, Kickback borders on insignificant. Both his ranged and melee are physical attacks, which mean they stack up their physical resistance buffs to ten with no problem. Thanks for the insight @BlackRazak , and I've definitely noticed that the addition of the bleed to Kickback's sp2 has made that attack extremely dangerous.
You list barricade as worst i dislike you. How are KICKBACK AND SIDESWIPE better than barricade?
No. If he was he would not put barricade so low.
Dude...quit complaining...I agree barricade should be pretty high but don't tell someone that you dislike them just because they put a bot so low on a list
Ya sure i said it literally? Or did i say figuratively? Don't like how barricade is so low and i meant i was a bit annoyed at him for that. But his tier list was pretty decent.
I think it's just that you don't like G1 bots...
Its not that i dislike g1. I do. Just barricade was put so low for being a brilliant scout
I'm surprised you didn't throw a tantrum when you see his Warrior ranking
Barricade is a good bot but I’d say kickback is better. Definitely not side swipe though
If you are comfortable and capable with ANY bot, be it Tronus or Hound, good for you.
Your efforts are somewhat futile as everyone's opinions are like fecal orifices.
Everyone has one .
Pft. Barricade is one of the best, if not top, Scout.
do you know the difference between literally and figuratively?
Man I’ve told you so many times everyone has different opinions some sexy individuals say Jazz is the best, some say he sucks and I respect that. You gotta learn to respect people if you want respect back
