The Grimlock boss in act 2 of spotlight expert is absurd.
You keep raising the bar for spotlight but you don't keep raising the rewards in line with the difficulty.
If you expect players to spend $$$ to get yet another repeat relic and the same old spotlight rewards, you are in for a rude awakening.
This mod combination is not challenging in a fun way, nor is it imaginative... It's just designed to prevent all but one bot synergy combination from having an actual chance at defeating him:
This is a giant middle finger to the players. Please, enlighten me on what you were thinking here?
It's a ridiculous amount of defensive power gain.
All he does is turtle and charge power at will.
You can't set up combos with ranged because it makes him block.
The armor buff makes it so the only bots that are useful at all are armor breakers, since waiting for the buff to go away will result in an s3 charged up from him blocking... Yet they still need to stop the power gain.
You can't dance around, because he's just a time bomb. As was the case with AM lanes, you give zero real options to counter this, except with money.
Just about the only bot that can take him on is Megatron w/ shockwave synergy, because he can fuse power gain and armor debuffs on him.
Wonderful job. You made 99% of the bot roster inept, and forced players to use items to get the same boring rewards.

Any info on Dinobot and Ape?
Not even close. On the previous grimlock spotlight he did not have defensive power gain so there was a blocking strategy you could employ.
This is just complete violation. You either relentlessly attack and charge up his bar, or he relentlessly defends charging up his bar.
There is no strategy you can use vs him.
Yep it sucks that you have to use certain bots just to beat a boss, if you haven’t got any armour breaking champs best strategy is to go ape on him and beg to Primus he spams special 1 or 2.
sounds like this sucks though
I hate when they over power the boss so much .
Attack buff with unstoppable just when to attacks .
Just btwn 1-2 sec window are machines to respond that low ??? @kabam
Iv already scaled back a ton of playing on this game and I'm about ready to quit
I have one rank 5 and four rank 4 bots and I still cant clear this without using tons of items. Its absolutely appalling.
You should want more people to come and play, not the opposite. Its the final straw
This types of annoying mods keep coming i quit the nxt spot light
In this fight I just waited...dodges side to side, let him beat me up a little bit...fire some special 1 etc then sp2 OGed him. It worked for but may not work for everyone else
Rewards are definitely not worth it for the difficulty we are fighting against, going to come up with a good suggestion for expert rewards soon.
OG Prime and Grindor took 30% of his life.
I was counting on IH's SP2 to kick some real ass, but once I had it I was hitting the wall with a pillow because of his armor. I can't wait either because my IH was being burnt to death. IH caused him about 2% of life. Meh.
Then SW save the day, I was lucky. Firstly, GL keeps throwing SP1 without reason. Secondly, every time I put a SP1 it's stun+power leak. I've not taken any SP3 and finished with 70% of my life.
I have to agree with BOFAD that GL don't charge power that often if you just dance around. Let him chase you. Even when cornered, you can backstep the 1st, 3rd of a 5-combo and block the rest (to mitigate the input). Ditch ranged shooting altogether. Even with IH, go melee style and gain some power hitting or getting hit. But backstep every time your melee is blocked. GL will be happy to throw SP1 for free in this case. I don't think Mirage can be of help though. His charge rate outgrows your luckiest power burn shots.
I did got my ass handed to that S-1000 though. The full team arrived with 95%+ health, then was crushed one by one within seconds. The all-hail-sharkticon repairs 30% of the lifebar, WTF?! Revived twice my IH to deal with him.
Really should be very careful against this shark. My SW launched a heavy when he was dashing in unstoppably, he gained two power-bars and copied my power gain ability then reached to an SP3 before I understand what's happening!
To remove his unstoppable stacks, you have to employ the "single shot, backstep/sidestep" trick at least for the first 2 stacks. The last stack can be removed with a melee and he will get stunned.
(Seriously...grimlock was easy. G1 BB is where it’s at)
I wasn’t using any boosts or relics, but both my bots were r4 (not forged much)
All you have to do is not shoot, and keep baiting the sp1
Sorry I can’t say what I did, I was just playing normally and not really paying any attention
This. Exactly.
Although it's easy to understand why players would think I couldn't beat the boss when reading the post. I was extremely irritated and wrote that after my first unsuccessful attempt at GL, however... If you look at the image I did get him down to 30% HP.
On my next attempts I didn't fail. Still, that mod combination is terrible. Dinobot is even worse, but still doable
