Let me preface this by saying I'm more than happy to participate in the ever-present hate for the Bay movies, THEY ARE TRASH, seen in Transformers forums across the internet.

I believe Kabam could actually do these characters justice like they did with Mixmaster, not the greatest character we have or one anyone would've asked but they managed to bring life into a bot that was just background cannon fodder.

However I do recall reading that kabam will be focusing mostly on g1 in the future, which means we’re unlikely to see most of the recognisable(?) baybots, like crosshairs, jazz, shockwave etc. For quite a while.

I grew up with Bayformers (yes, it's hard to believe that the Beast Wars Fanboi grew up with Bayformers, but I did), but that statement just shows that every character in Bayformers had potential. Alas, Bay or Hasbro just saw them as toy products with no personality. Most of the Bayformers in this game have a lot more personality than the ones in the movies! It just shows what the movies could have been...
Although imo, I prefer Mixmaster''s Movie design over the G1 Mixmaster design. I think the G1 design is too basic and I really like the way that Bayformers Mixmaster uses his Kibble as shields. Just give him a little more color and then he won't look lifeless.

Dude that special 3 is deadly!! And kind of gross at the same time!!
But then again it kind of suits him!! Lol!!
He should probably have some kind of synergy with G1 Springer, because after all he did first create him as Ostaros, then he was rebuilt by prowl!
They could have a synergy like creator vs. creation! Lol! I don’t know!!
It could be that when they’re in the same squad they give each other a 10% attack rating on both regular and special attacks!!

I actually was considering doing something related to Sins of the Wreckers. I was thinking of putting Prowl on the Enemies Synergy and give Tarantulas a special synergy with Springer. The thing is, Tarantulas does have a lot of Synergies already (part of the Predacon Secret Police, he's a Herald of Unicron, etc.). But I might do I rework of him later this week and include some synergies. The main reason why I'm going to rework him is because I don't like the Signature I gave him.
Oh, and the SP3 was really fun to come up with. Nothing is weirder than a robot cannibal lol.

• First Use: Increases Special Damage by 20~40% for 40 seconds

- Skywarp's crit rate and damage are increased by 20~45% as long as his evasion buffs are active

Synergies: Seeker Trio
- Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker: Each null-ray attack has a 5~10% chance to become unblockable
Do you think you may be able to come up with one for Movie-verse Sideswipe..?
Also i think him being a warrior class would fit him the best, due to his agility, hard amd precise hits, and with the blade he has bleed buff would fit the character nicely
He should probably have some kind of synergy with G1 Springer, because after all he did first create him as Ostaros, then he was rebuilt by prowl!
They could have a synergy like creator vs. creation! Lol! I don’t know!!

They look kewl n awesom unliek g1 xD
Let me preface this by saying I'm more than happy to participate in the ever-present hate for the Bay movies, THEY ARE TRASH, seen in Transformers forums across the internet. But I can put my implicit bias against the movies on hold in order to share a FEW movie designs I feel would bring a level of uniqueness in animation and/or abilities that I think would help the longevity of this game. I believe Kabam could actually do these characters justice like they did with Mixmaster, not the greatest character we have or one anyone would've asked but they managed to bring life into a bot that was just background cannon fodder.
согласен самые крутые автоботы
Movie Shockwave!
Good way to put it, it’s a shame what bay did to so many notable characters, reducing them to nothing. Even soundwave is forgettable, which is unbelievable considering his prominence is g1.
However I do recall reading that kabam will be focusing mostly on g1 in the future, which means we’re unlikely to see most of the recognisable(?) baybots, like crosshairs, jazz, shockwave etc. For quite a while.
Which is smart, I spoke on the longevity of this game and G1 holding the majority is definitely a big factor in keeping this game going. If I had to make a list of my top 10 most wanted characters I'd think the top 7 would all be G1.
I grew up with Bayformers (yes, it's hard to believe that the Beast Wars Fanboi grew up with Bayformers, but I did), but that statement just shows that every character in Bayformers had potential. Alas, Bay or Hasbro just saw them as toy products with no personality. Most of the Bayformers in this game have a lot more personality than the ones in the movies! It just shows what the movies could have been...

•Mixmaster: Tarantulas' Special Attacks allow him to specialize with enemies with Special Attack buffs, and Tarantulas will love to gather all of Mixmaster''s Ranged Attacks.

Although I would have made him a tact.
Dude that special 3 is deadly!! And kind of gross at the same time!!
But then again it kind of suits him!! Lol!!
They could have a synergy like creator vs. creation! Lol! I don’t know!!
It could be that when they’re in the same squad they give each other a 10% attack rating on both regular and special attacks!!
I actually was considering doing something related to Sins of the Wreckers. I was thinking of putting Prowl on the Enemies Synergy and give Tarantulas a special synergy with Springer. The thing is, Tarantulas does have a lot of Synergies already (part of the Predacon Secret Police, he's a Herald of Unicron, etc.). But I might do I rework of him later this week and include some synergies. The main reason why I'm going to rework him is because I don't like the Signature I gave him.
Oh, and the SP3 was really fun to come up with. Nothing is weirder than a robot cannibal lol.
I am japanese.

Your wish has been granted
Do you think you may be able to come up with one for Movie-verse Sideswipe..?
Also i think him being a warrior class would fit him the best, due to his agility, hard amd precise hits, and with the blade he has bleed buff would fit the character nicely
Lol! Ok, I’ll be looking forward to seeing your rework then!!
