    In your opinion, which is the better bot to buy – Strong Arm or Elite One?

    Thank you.

    Thank you for some excellent advice!!!  I was wondering if clicking on the teammate to force slo-mo would count.  I never even thought of Shieldor.  It’s good to know that I can stop the node early to see if a dodge counted.  Faster TF is good too.

    With regard to the first, sometimes when I click on walk at the last minute, the TF jumps into the falling mortar space rather than walking into it, but the first step is a walk.  I guess I need to go into walk node a split second earlier so he is actually walking into the falling mortar space?  I am going to use Shielder when possible.  Right after I posted, I did manage to dodge, but I don’t know how.  There was too much going on at the time (lava balls & missiles) for me to see exactly what I did.

    I did manage to do it during a mission because as usual, I did not get any Cobalt Valley nodes when I had to dodge for a quest.  I really hate the quests that require my depending upon the game to do something.  I’m going to have to go back to always having a Cobalt Valley on hand for quests like this.

    I was just wanting to see what other people were successfully using for their transformers.

    I am using Grey Slam Grimlock, mostly because I have him promoted to 75% and he has a strong shield. I put him in last, though, because he doesn’t do as much damage.

    I am using Soundwave because I love the damage he does, with the caveat he dies fairly easily. I have him at maximum promotion (105%).

    I am using Ultimate Megatron, which is my favorite for Spark Run, because I can just point him off screen and take care of obstacles before they are even on screen. I just finished promoting him to 105%.

    If I can get someone who does just as much damage as Soundwave but gets less damaged, I am willing to replace him. I guess otherwise Grey Slam will get replaced, but I would want to replace him with something that does more damage and still has a strong shield.

    I tried Ricochet because he kills WMTs so easily, but he takes a lot of damage while I am obsessed with killing the WMTs. Dark Megatron doesn’t seem to shoot as often as Ultra Megatron, which is is a minus for me. Maybe that’s only my perception, though? The other Grimlocks seem to do more damage than Grey, but they don’t seem to last as long. Thoughts on replacing Grey with another Grimlock? Is Trypticon just as good as Ultra Megatron in blasting everything?

    What about other transformers?

    Thanks. I’m just accumulating sparks until I pick a transformer to replace either Soundwave or Grey.

    I agree that it could have been a bug. It happened to me this week. I was completing a run in the final few minutes of the game. I finished just as the daily game was over (7:00 pm CST). As soon as I finished, I got the score and then the reward icon popped up. I was actually in 1st place before my points were inadvertently inflated to over 10 million, so it didn’t cheat another person out of first place. However, I also didn’t get my bonus that day either. It showed I got a 1,000 point bonus, but nothing was deposited. I meant to report the bug to Rovio, but I kept forgetting.

    I’m just having the usual # of crashes during my regular & tournament runs, but I am having major problems with the Sparkle runs. I have two separate games going on two separate iPads. Yesterday the iPad 2 crashed during the run, and today both the iPad 2 and iPad Air 2 crashed. I was kicked out of the game, and when I returned, of course I did not earn any sparkles I completed before crashing, but I needed to recharge the transformers that I used before the crashing, and I couldn’t replay the Sparkle run without paying 100 gems to do so (which I did not). This is especially irritating because they are only giving 400 sparkles for completing the daily challenges now.

    There really isn’t an advantage based upon timing of games. Events are 24 hours, and most everyone will be taking some time off for sleep, so it doesn’t matter if the events start at noon, 6:00 pm or midnight GMT, most people will be sleeping during the 24-hour period.

    Additionally, with regard to rankings, I read on this forum somewhere that you are grouped with other people who started around the same time you did. This means if I start an event at 6:00 pm, everyone else in the grouping of 20 will have started the event around 6:00 pm. If I start the event at midnight, everyone else in the grouping of 20 will have started at midnight.

    Maybe this is wrong information, but the scores of other competitors when I start events are similar to my scores. It’s not until later when there are differences between competitors.

    I cannot even get to the game. When I press on the app icon, the Rovio screen flashes for less than a second and then I am kicked back to the home screen on my iPad. This happens even after I reboot. I am running it on an iPad Air 2. I do not remember to OS, just that it is not the current OS.

    I use Grey Grimlock, and I pretty much keep him trained on Boss Hog, only taking him off to shoot down the missiles, run past a falling mortar or get an occasional energon. I use the health energon so I can take the lava blasts and whatever else I am hit with while I am trained on Boss Hogg. Grey is at Level 15. Actually, I got all my Grimlocks and Soundwave to 15 as top priority because they are my transformer dream team. BTW, this is pretty much my strategy for Omnicron, and I pretty much always defeat Omnicron.

    Unless the bonus for using a chosen transformer is high, I stick with my panel of Grey, Soundwave and the health energon. Usually I can score more with these transformers than I can with the bonus transformers anyway even after bonus.

    Let’s add – Drift, Starscream, Skywarp or the other one? Sorry – I don’t remember names. I have enough points for Drift, but he didn’t impress me when I tried him. I think I have Starscream already – he sends out an EMP to deactivate the WMT and pigs.

    Does anyone have anything good to say about Drift?

    Thank you.

    I agree. Additionally, when I saved beach nodes for days when I had beach challenges, I stopped getting beach challenges and started getting meadow challenges.

    I just don’t even bother trying when I see certain things, like this and points in fast or slow mode.

    Definitely Glassier. I do love the destruction. However, I will use Photoblast with things like Soundwave that are powerful but not specific although it seems lately photon blast is not very specific either.

    I am using IOS 9.3.2 on an iPad 2 and iPad Air 2, and I have had these problems for the past three events (maybe more). Thank you for posting. I thought it was only me because the problem hasn’t been fixed yet.
