  • Would that fudge up the monthly objectives?

    There was one month where we only had two featured bots. They just adjust the achievements accordingly.

    Why all the trouble to "align" unused bots to the anniversary? Aren't BC and Mv1 already in the pool?

    All I'm saying is that's a recipe for disaster. At least for the first 2 months.

    In both March and April, only 2 bots were part of the monthly feature. Objectives and rewards were adjusted accordingly.

    March - Ramjet & Rat
    April - OGP & KB

    That said, it does line up well to drop 2 bots per month for Jan, Feb, & March leading into an April 3 year anniversary. I’m with @Bi1b0Baggins on this one though. Why go this route at all? We been in rhythm for 6+ months now with 3 bots per month and tweaks to the objectives along the way.

    I’m hopeful for 3 and 3 to close out Jan & Feb then drop ALL bots in March so everyone TRULY has a chance to round out their roster. That would create some hype leading April when Tronus finally drops in some way (not likely as BOTM).

    but that's a good thing for us. it a bit of pain to deal with (those that need to have their rewards right away) but we get some nice freebies out of it.

    Going to have to disagree with you on that one. We got swindled out of 7 Bruisers crystals this month. If they took proper corrective action, then I'd agree with you.

    True, I forgot about that one. Regardless, my potions stands. =). Having the right crystals won't change me from pulling 3* bots from those stupid crystals. lol. Free sig awakening > the right 3-"5" star crystals

    Maybe Ironhide is one of them this month?

    Ironhide was one of the February bots. Wish it was him though.

    Grimlock at least?
  • WolfmillsWolfmills Posts: 466
    2 bots tht have not been in store yet and one rerun after being buffed is what i was thinking on the 2 per month, as far as the objectives they chnged them to be very easy to only run 2 bots and not have to change anything, everything is very generic now as far as getting and using the bots

    Where he is the 4* freebie this month, I kinda doubt it...
  • KillMasterCKillMasterC Posts: 3,105
    Shouldn't the monthly buffed bot be announced one day earlier than next month's bots?
  • I guess January feature bots will be:

    - Megatronus
    - Bumblebee scout
    - Wheel Jack

    Looks like they're stalling or already starting the reset of the BOTM. not cool.

    Ratchet, Jazz, and Starscream
  • JIMMY_SABJIMMY_SAB Posts: 1,008
    The announcement will come at 5:27pm ET today.
  • Ratchet, Jazz, Starscream confirmed. No mention of if any are being rebalanced though...
  • VanjieVanjie Posts: 82
    I really don’t understand this. Rereleasing a bot would make some sense if they were getting a buff but unless Ratchet and Jazz are both getting buffed, which I doubt, I don’t see the reason for doing this.
  • Are you serious? Drift hasn’t been yet why not him? 😒
