5* Bot Pools - 2019 Edition

edited June 2019 in General Discussion
This question seems to float around every couple of months or so and we all end up scratching our heads as to what is accurate. Below is a list of what I believe to be the current list of 5* bots and their availability. For the sake of consistent communication, I’ve made 2 lists/pools. I purposely omitted T4 Knight crystals because I truly have no idea what is supposed to be in that pool. I assume it’s the basic pool I have listed below.

Comments and proof otherwise is most welcome.

Pool # 1: the basic pool (shards)
Optimus Primal
Grindor
Waspinator
Megatron (ROTF)
Barricade
Prowl
Starscream
Ultra Magnus
Rhinox
Shockwave
Drift
Arcee
Grimlock
Optimus Prime (MV1)
Galvatron
Mixmaster
Cheetor
Kickback
Dinobot
Megatron
Mirage
Soundwave
Hot Rod
Bonecrusher

Pool # 2: the “special” list such as only available from a featured monthly crystal.
G1 Bee
DOTM Bee
Tantrum
Wheeljack
Cyclonus
Jetfire
OG Prime
Hound
Blaster
Tronus
Scorponok

  • I would like for the 5 star crystal to be added after my latest bonecrushing pull. Especially since the game is getting back together, now would be a great time.

    Not sure if G1 Bee, DotM Bee and Thundercracker will be there though.

    Considering thundercracker is this years exclusive bot, I’d like to see the bumblebee’s added to the main pool.

    Unless this ‘new bot’ coming next month is also exclusive, in which case I’ll revise my answer later

    It's just that I've always assumed that the Bumblebees were always exclusive for marketing purposes because due to how he/they are the one of most popular character(s) in the franchise and due to how rare he is, people would be spending more to get him.

    But, Thundercracker (and I guess S-1000) could be worthy replacements for the Bumblebees. It would be better to see the Bees in the pool since we can't have too many exclusives.

    Honestly, I don’t mind exclusive bots, as long as they are released into the main pool eventually. Dotm bee didn’t really make sense being exclusive anyway, as he should have been there from the beginning. Thundercracker was a nice treat, and his event was great. If in 6 months or a years time we get another exclusive, and thundercracker was released into the pool then, I’d be cool with that. But the bee’s have got to be released at some point. The f2p players who seen multiple cash only offers for hive crystals deserve as much. Gold wheels and good as gold shards could easily be converted into exclusive shards for who is currently TC, and whoever the next exclusive bot could be.

    Since 4* dotm bee was released I don’t recall seeing any hive crystal offers......

    Edit
    Don’t quote me on that last part, as I may be mistaken. But for what I can remember there haven’t been any

    That sounds like a pretty nifty idea. It'll be a way to give players that had excess shards from the last event a chance to use them in order to gain the new bots.

    Are you trying to distinguish between bots in the basic 5* crystal and more exclusive bots?

    Ratchet, Motormaster and Windblade were part of the exclusive 5* bots. You're also missing Bludgeon, Ironhide and Ramjet who were also part of the exclusive crystal.

    Wow 😮 I was talking about the 5* Jazz last night kicking myself I didn’t buy him back in Jan. Because I was saving for Megatronus
    Maybe this will change things around to see Jazz and others being added to the pool
    I’ll probably win Hound, lol 😂 but I’d accept him too any new bots are fun
  • JIMMY_SABJIMMY_SAB Posts: 1,008
    Thanks for chiming in @Kabam Vydious — the intent of this thread was to be informational. As you’ve mentioned in a related thread, the desire to update the basic pool is already known and being discussed on your end.
