Your Best Bot

Hey! I just wanted to ask what everyone's favorite or best what was. This isn't like what bot is superior to another, but what bot do YOU do best with. For example, mine would happen to Bludgeon. He was my first 3-star, AND my first 4-star. Since I'm so used to playing with him, it ends up being so smooth fighting with him. I can really get a feel for his power bar, and his damage. And, I never feel forced into using certain actions as I do with other bots. I routinely get perfects when using him, I my combos are always wild with him. He's the only bot I really get to reap the full benefits of star-seeeker with. So yeah

I just use him well. Everything from basic attacks to his SP’s just suit me. I remember having these super long fights vs AM Primal where my final stats would be like 209 hits to 5 or something.
Maybe he will rise again as my top Scout. I’m going to dig up some old videos.
Would love to see some video.
Man I like barricade too but theres just one thing... hes bay
I did not realize at first that was a b, and, well...
That was an awkward 10 seconds.
Here’s one I found. It was supposed to be an instructional video because at the time my alliance was lacking Primal killers. It’s from Oct 2018 — can’t remember what D lvl (prob around D35). I didn’t even win the fight but I do think it shows just how slick Barricade can be. @Hijacker2531
Thanks @JIMMY_SAB ! I found the to be pretty cool if I say so myself. And that was definitely what I had in my mind for "slick."
Otherwise I enjoy taking down an entire base with Cheetor.
I never see any good Cheetor videos. If you got any I would love to check them out. No judgement of course.
As for my favorites...I've ways like the big oddballs like Ultra Magnus and Grindor. I like the feel of a heavy hitter. Prowl is a good one also. Always my "must have on the team" bot because of power control and he can get through the thick armor of anyone.
I have yet to see a maxed 5★ Magnus.
Raid is all about time, so I just fight aggressively. Cheetor's range evade helps this fighting style but sometimes if you evade mid-dash, enemy can hit you with a melee before your evade is over.
The Daze, his Backfire, his bleeds, just almost everything about him is perfect. He's my go-to-bot when it comes to clearing out tougher content, whether if it's horrific mods from Spotlight or AM Tronus. And he's pretty good against AM Tronus, especially if you fight aggressively. His abilities are outstanding, ranging from increased damage from his Venom charges, his VenomBackfire may not be the most damaging Backfire (that goes to Barry), but it has the most utility. His Bleed is actually pretty damaging and it procs a lot more times than one would expect, making him a pretty underrated bleeder. DAZE is one of the best debuffs to me, always leavibg the opponent vurnerable for a Punish after missing a special, great agasint Megatronous, Ironhide, and Prowl. His Sig is is a great way to preserve himself if you ever make a mistake. An all around amazing bot that really fits with my Beast Team.
Abilities aside, he also has some fantastic fighting animations; it's awesome to see him utilize his stinger and claws in combat. I also really like how he's one of the two bots that changes form in a Special that's not an SP3 (his SP2), the other being Grimlock. Only problem that I have is that he looks like he's been diagnosed with the Hate Plague.
I'm surprised that they made such a hollow and incompetent character so good in this game. Wonder what the more popular Preds would've been like...
I'm also very fond of his animations. It's not everyday where a insane purple overlord of destruction just kicks you in the face. He just straight up kicks you in his first medium attack, I don't know why I find that so appealing. And I like how he does a close ranged attack at the end. His SP1 is a great use of a reference to a film and his SP3 is the full homerun, nodding at the infamous death of Starscream from the movie. And his design is EPIC.
This game did a great character justice in this game and he's one of my favorite bots to use. It's why I desire nothing more than to get him as a 5-Star.
You'll be able to buy him with generations chips, hes going to return in the store 😁
And I very much look forward to it.
Seriously, he just plays exactly how I would want him too. Him and all his cassettes hit hard and always leave their opponent with nasty shocks, it’s exactly his character. He’s already tough, but he still fights dirty, and you can feel the impact of their hits.
Plus he plays completely differently from everyone else. Granted, almost no bot in the game plays the same as any other, but Soundwave really breaks the mold with his power gain and sonic shield. His power gain after a special 2 is especially great, constantly giving you that glorious sonic shield and basically neutering all power drain abilities.
R4 5* Kickback and R4 5* Rhinox, @Hijacker2531
Truth be told they're not the absolute best, but I've learned to comfortably best bases of between 46-55K with these two.
Formerly, I'd ninja my way thru with 4* R5 max'd MM, Galvatron and Cyclonus (my actual faves plus the ones I'm best at using), but EVERYONE is upgrading their bots, and this team increasingly can't cope.
I find if you practice with less desirable bots, you just get better overall.
Anyways, beating a R5 max Tronus on 4* RR with Kickback is mucho hilarious
@JIMMY_SAB I'm not sure if this is any good, but I had a good laugh doing this:

Right now, I play best with Primal. He feels smooth to play with, but it wasn't the case when I first started playing. Before, his heavy lags my phone. Now, it's Cheetor and Kickback's ranged attack that feels a bit laggy.
I really love dinosaurs and robots as a child and he is the perfect Transformer to me I really like his character too so when I started to play this game I used him always.. And for now.. He is my favourite bot. I used him so much that he become my favourite bot. I almost can play with him with closed eyes I learned his power gain rate, the moves, the dmg of specials.. really like him
I know there are stronger bots, more agile ones, more versatile ones.. bot It's not just KNOWING that your bot is good or bad, not just ratings and attack power/health points.. It's the FEEL too
