Unlocked my Energon Nautica. That was refreshingly quick! Tokens from new War Pass were a small help too.

Dang it, I just put Nautica on a mission. Thanks as always for the info.

My Energon Grimlock is L14. I planned to go all out and try to get him to L16, but I don’t have Energon Nautica. Guess I’ll go for her instead.

@tahtorak Thanks! Already have Nautica. She became my first overpower to level 16 during last event.

Think I’ll skip Novastar for now. I’d rather take my chances on a new (and better) bot from Gold Crates. (Just based on low SR ranking.)

Really on the fence. I’m at 8,400 tokens, about to add 250 more plus 300 for top 6 finish.

That puts me at 8,950 tokens. Slipstream costs 10k.

Go for it? Or grab 10 Gold Crates, then wait and hope Slipstream is in Token Exchange for next event?

My next Recharge is 60 Gems, so unlocking Slipstream could easily cost me an additional 240 Gems.…[Read more]

I noticed Sawbones Squad has 3 members now instead of just 1 before.

Don’t ever buy the War Pass, so they’re just silhouettes to me.

Decided I’m going to aim for the Overpower on Nautica. Bought Metroplex & Cannon for her.

Thanks! I’m in Vancouver so event doesn’t start for 4 hours. (I assume it’s due to time zones.)

So I have Nautica and Elite One. I managed to get Nautica to Level 15 for this event (my first L15!). I have both headphones plus the EMP Cannon at grade 1.

Strategy question for Nautica’s accessories… Worth buying Metroplex (Fire Rate) upfront? How…[Read more]

@tahtorak nice haul. Good timing on that Pistol for Nautica since Femme Fatale is probably the next event!

Which Conehead is that?

Pretty “epic” haul out of gold crates from Token Exchange.

Boom!

Is Ironhide even worth going for? Or better to use tokens for levelling up, buying accessories, and/or gold crates?

Does Ironhide outperform the Lockdowns in this event even?

Unlocked Hound!

As long as nobody snipes me out of first, should finish with 2850 tokens to buy his Cannon. Already bought the Trilby and I’ll get Ramhorn sometime.
Not using him it his event, but just on regular missions he’s already kicking butt just at level 4. He’ll be my go-to for this squad by next time!

@sntrooper thanks! Misread them and thought they had Explosive Force. Explosive Rounds are great.
I don’t have Exp Rounds on either Lockdown, which is probably why I thought they sucked. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for this thread!

If Pure Warriors is next, I’ve been leveling up Brawl. Don’t use any of these in SR, but Brawl seems to outperform the Lockdowns for me in regular missions for me. Don’t have Ironhide yet.

Which arm accessory is recommended for Brawl, Cannon (Damage) vs Launchers (Explosive Force)?

@GrimLockdown honestly I was more interested in having someone better than Ultra Magnus on this squad… LoL.

I don’t need Hound to solo SR. I’ve got Dirge, Nightbird, Energon Starscream, Nautica… and now Mirage (thanks for the advice!) for that. Hopefully I’ll add a combiner or two soon enough also.

At least buying the SR Killer I’m missing (Hound) is “just” 7500 tokens this event! Phew.

@Tahtorak okay have to ask… why the missiles?

@deindiaan & @GrimLockdown thanks for the replies.

And no, handle in-game is same as here, NoahLot.

I assume answer is yes, but with 50 gems/day deal, you get the first 50 right away, right???

Welp! Somebody sniped my first place finish on day 6 and ruined my plan for Mirage. I don’t have any of the Speedsters so far. And unfortunately I don’t have many gems left either. (I’m at 55 gems now, and the 200 token top-up would be 100 gems.)

Now my options are:

1. Choose Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, or Red Alert instead;
2. Buy 10 gold crate…

Managed to unlock Dirge and raise him to L5, all via Token Exchange, so I’m calling this one a success!
