If you run an EggBot Intercept, an actual EggBot (one of the little guys running around the map transforming nodes) will show up as a moving target when running the node.
Shoot the EggBot for coins. Some TFs are more effective at this than others. By “effective” I mean that it’s a combination of:
* some TFs require fewer shots to make it fly away (see below)
* some TFs cause more damage (i.e. yield more coins) than others
You should use E. Galvatron, Heatwave, or Sentinel Prime, especially the latter two as they can one-shot the EggBot and cause very high coin yields
I haven’t done an Intercept in a while though, so I have no idea how effective the five new TFs are at this (my guess is that Shockwave should be fairly decent).
Once you’ve hit the EggBot for enough damage, it’ll fly away and then come back a short while later. It can potentially occur four times in the Intercept (the initial encounter plus three returns).
Ideally you’ll combine it with the Goldbite energonicon. A 3-charge Goldbite combined with hitting an EggBot with Heatwave will yield something like 5,000 coins in a single hit.
Also, don’t call in a buddy while the EggBot is present, as it will cause the EggBot to immediately run away even if you haven’t shot it yet, and it won’t return until your buddy has expired.
