Node bias for newly rescured TFs?

[Optimus_Pig]

I recently obtained Prowl from a rescue mission. (Incidentally, I used 134 gems to immediately complete the mission.)

Ever since then, every time I complete a node with him, he immediately shows up in the next available node that the Eggbots transform.

The problem is that except for the 3 minutes while I’m running him in a node, I’ve been putting him through near-continuous upgrade cycles to try to level him up as soon as possible to catch up with the rest of my TFs.

So basically I get one node guaranteed to be blocked by an upgrading TF every time.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I don’t know why Rovio would deliberately be trying to make game play more difficult for us (they’re already unintentionally making game-play difficult enough as it is with all the bugs!)

Not always, but certainly a high percentage of the time.

Regarding the upgrading TF showing up on the Gold Dome, it doesn’t happen every time for me, but certainly more often than can be explained by random chance.

Finally stopped happening once I got to the L8->L9 upgrade cycle.

This is the third time in a row I have started an update (L12 to L13) that the Gold Dome appears with the TF being upgraded with no shot at running unless I use gems to complete upgrade. This is way beyond coincidence.
