Thank you. That’s very helpful.
My theory is this: the most recent TFs to be released have all used basic materials (either Pig Iron or Birdium) rather than mechanical materials (i.e. Autocogs and Deceptigears). This is because Autocogs and DGs are relatively easy to obtain through Daily Quest rewards, whereas Birdium and Pig Iron are not currently available through Daily Quests (not sure if they’ve ever been). Although all can be obtained through Missions, it’s totally random and sometimes the scarcity is frustrating (and also puts a practical limit on how much lab spinning we can do if we need to conserve mats for upgrades). Rovio is deliberately making it more difficult for us to upgrade our TFs which forces us to use gems to make up the difference. [Ironically, the decision to conserve certain mats for upgrade purposes is actually easier since lab spins have such a low payout rate ever since The Great Lab NERFing.]
Honestly, my memory sucks and I haven’t maintained my spreadsheet in ages, but has anyone kept track of what mats were required by Wheeljack? I’m inclined to think Birdium, but I’m not sure.
I believe that Dead End / Chromia / Wheeljack / Smokescreen have been the TFs released ever since they introduced the Daily Quests. Did I miss any?
Perhaps I’m overthinking this. But it works into my overall narrative that Rovio’s out to get us.
