At long last!! Some Dinobots!!!

Grimlock is the boss. Among his siblings in the Dinobot Den, what he says goes. The only one who can supersede him is Dinobot himself, the founder and patron of the group home. His strength, size, and intimidating body language are more than enough to get people to move out of his way, but beneath his stubborn, gruff exterior is a sterling spark with a lot of love for his friends and family. It’s a surprise to be roomed with three of his siblings, since roommates are randomly assigned, but he isn’t complaining. Their other roommate Strafe is equally awesome, and he declared her an honorary Dinobot within a month of meeting her. Other people may look at him and see a savage beast, but he’s fond of history and philosophy, art and science, and a whole host of things that most people would not guess. Occasionally he tags along with the Scavengers, mostly to watch Misfire being dumb and Krok being exasperated.

Strafe has a very unusual frame for a Camien. Beastformers only occur on Cybertron and Eukaris, so her sort-of vehicle, sort-of beast alt mode is an anomaly on Caminus. With a four-armed amalgoid frame, her dual beast heads form two of her arms, which she uses to snip at anyone she finds unpleasant. The first, and last, time her next-door neighbor Mirage tried commenting on her appearance, he received a very impressive set of scratches in his paint. She fits in quite well with her roommates, happily accepting the title of Dinobot. Despite the stereotypes of her frametype, she excels in politics, history, and anthropology classes, with a keen mind for how people interact on a large scale.

Slag doesn’t like it here, but really, he doesn’t like it anywhere. He’s very grumpy. His name is not actually the same word as the expletive, it has a different declension and meaning that denotes it as a name, but he readily goes by the expletive instead. Authority figures other than Grimlock and his patron Dinobot of the Dinobot Den are unlikely to get much of a response from him, other than perhaps a growl. His grades aren’t bad, but he’s had more than his fair share of detentions. Once he even slugged a mech right in the faceplates. No one has ever provoked him while in beast mode, which is a good thing, because his horns are just as sharp as they look.

Snarl cannot believe that he’s stuck with his siblings for roommates. Nevermind the fact that he’d hate having four strangers for roommates even more. He just wants to be left alone! He misses his own private room back at the Dinobot Den. When he bothers to show up to his classes, he does alright, but his in-class participation is abysmal. The only time he really enjoys himself is during sports, when he can turn all the squat brute strength of his beastformer frame into a powerful juggernaut against the opposing team. In fact, he may take a little too much joy in it. The best matches are against his siblings, who know his strength and how to combat it, leading to a fun family thrashing for everyone involved.

Swoop is delighted by all the high ceilings, balconies, and hidey holes of the campus architecture. The Dinobot Den is great, but it never had this much room. The entire school is a maze for him to explore and he’s set about to do just that! It’s not uncommon to see him twirling and diving through the air around the Academy, even flying with some seekers sometimes, though he can never match their speed. An interesting environment like this is perfect for him. He can pursue whatever happens to catch his fancy today, learning anything and everything in his classes, and then coming back to chatter to his siblings and Strafe. Some have tried to insult him for being a tiny, flighty beastformer, but he isn’t one to pay any attention to them, too busy having fun instead.

#dinobot #grimlock #transformers #transformers redesign #swoop #strafe #slag #snarl #tf original continuity #TF:SNAP #students #listen i love them so much i just want to hug them all #they probably wreck their room on a weekly basis #shove all the berths into the middle and have a cuddle pile #strafe is sO AWESOME LOOK AT HER

Wave 3 Bot Review

First things first; Bah Weep Granah Weep Nini Bong! Since I like playing this game; I thought I’d start up a blog for it. And since Wave 3 is right on the horizon, what better way to start than to give a review of the Bots in Wave 3. These are just my opinions; you might have completely different ones.

T09 Major Shockwave

An interesting card; that works rather well with the original Shockwave from Wave 1. Definitely good for playing mind games on your opponent. Possibly the best SRT in this Wave.

T11 Major Ultra Magnus

Only really a good character if you can keep his armour on him. Bit easy to beat otherwise I’d reckon. And he’s a pattern matcher; so if you don’t build for that he may as well be vanilla on his bot side.

P3 Private Smashdown

Vanilla on bot side. Weapon side punishes mono-colour decks; so might be useful in competitive play.

T19 Private Red Heat

Does Swap Parts when his bot mode ability is used. He will definitely be useful in a certain deck that the enabler card got banned. Assuming of course he doesn’t go the way of Swap Parts and get banned as well.

T08 Major Prowl

Bot mode ability is really good; weapons are a common upgrade to see (whether they be Energon Axes, Flamethrowers, Mining Picks or anything else) so he will like do two direct damage to an enemy when he attacks. Other than that… lack of an alt mode ability is a little disappointing.

T01 Alpha Trion

Battlefield Legend Light. He will definitely see competitive play; either with the aforementioned Battlefield Legend or in place of him.

T13 Private Firedrive

He’s actually a rare Battlemaster ; one with an actual ability on his bot side; one that helps him when he gets KO’d. Useful as a game finisher I reckon.

T25 Raider Aimless

For use in blue decks. Another one with an ability in bot mode. He’s rather nasty if you can get the deck set up for him (3 blue is quite a lot to flip in one attack!) But otherwise; he seems solid to me.

T42 Sergeant Cog

Not sure he should be SRT. He’s vanilla on bot side. His weapon mode ability is nice; and would have been better if Swap Parts wasn’t banned! Should have been a Rare.

T24 Private Trailbreaker

Good if you can keep the Forcefield on him; but a bit so-so otherwise. (Now we just need a Kaon so we can recreate THAT scene.) A Wave filler Transformer.

T33 Raider Nightstick

He’s vanilla on the bot side. His weapon side relies upon a lot of black pips in deck (or a lucky flip!) Would have been a better ability if it did damage I think.

T32 Raider Needlenose

He’s reliant on having star cards in deck. In other words a sink hole (you need to build your deck around him; like Mirage from Wave 1; or Skywarp from Wave 2). Could be fun to experiment with; but won’t see competitive play.

T48 Specialist Ratchet

Another sinkhole. Unless we get some better repair cards; he’s never going to get more than 4 attack boost if you Brainstorm into two Medics. And his alt side is vanilla after the start of the game. Wish he repaired when he flipped to alt mode as well.

T16 Private Mudslinger

Does Fling when his bot mode ability is used. Not sure that particular card was good to begin with. A Wave filler Transformer.

T05 Captain Wheeljack

Again; a vanilla alt side after the game begins. Bot side is good if you run lots of actions that allow you to play multiple actions; but otherwise, not particularly good. A Wave filler Transformer.

T35 Raider Road Hugger

Does Leap Into Battle when his bot mode ability is used. That card is good; and this fellow might be useful as a result. Can give blue decks a bit of a kick (that I’m not sure it needs).

T14 Private Flak

Does New Designs when his bot mode ability is used. Not a bad card; useful in upgrade heavy decks (or turn 1; to play an Upgrade on one of your characters!)

T38 Raider Storm Cloud

Does Focus Fire when his bot mode ability is used. Can also be done with three actions that don’t match for Supercharge. Possibly good in orange heavy decks but only if the deck also runs green/orange cards.

T47 Specialist Flamewar

A bit of a let-down. Two abilities that are a bit so-so. Can we have a different female Decepticon please (like Nickel!)? A Wave filler Transformer.

T40 Raider Visper

Does Sonic Scramble when his bot mode ability is used. Not sure that card was particularly good in the first place (only draws cards back up if all three were played). Guess that makes him another Wave filler Transformer.

T31 Raider Laserbeak

Not a bad ability on either side; good tap ability too. Decent card; but will probably see play with Soundwave only.

T15 Private Lionizer

Probably will go in orange heavy decks. Bold 4 is easily the strongest boost on a weapon (that doesn’t scrap!)

T12 Private Arcee

Another so-so card. She’s alright; but not really a stand out card. A Wave filler Transformer.

T03 Captain Ironhide

This one on the other hand… is actually very good. Easily the best Ironhide. He gives Wave 1 Shockwave the middle finger while in alt mode; and his bot mode ability isn’t bad either.

T10 Major Soundwave

Not really a stand out card. He’s only good with both Ravage and Laserbeak beside him. Shame really; a lot of people have been screaming for him (Now give us Tarn!).

T34 Raider Ravage

Vanilla on alt side. Bot mode ability is a bit disappointing. Not really going to see play; except with Soundwave.

T45 Sergeant Skywarp

Again; like the previous Skywarp, he relies upon the deck being built around him. This one likes Secret actions. Could work with Thundercracker though; if you run enough Secret Actions.

T23 Private Tote

He’s cute. He can be used to untap your other little fellows; but he’s not much good for much else. A Wave filler Transformer.

T18 Private Red Alert

A non-vanilla Red Alert. And a not bad one at that. Could work with Ratchet; as he repairs when you flip to alt mode.

T28 Raider Detour

Does Pep Talk when his bot mode ability is used. Not a bad card; but not sure that he’d be better than Pep Talk itself; except on turn 1.

T41 Sergeant Chromia

I’m happy; because she works well with Ironhide! Both want a blue deck; so they work together. Her ability is similar to Wave 1 Chromia’s, but for blue; much easier to hit.

T02 Captain Elita-1

Prime’s girlfriend and I see her being played with Battlefield Legend. She’s also not a bad card; considering she can sneak all of the damage on to her then trigger a Leap of Faith ability when KO’d.

T46 Sergeant Sparkstalker

One of the Firecons. Good in orange decks; so could see play in them. Can also scrap armour to make it easier to hit enemies for your other bots.

T27 Raider Cindersaur

One of the Firecons. Also very orange orientated. Can do direct damage if he has enough Bold.

T29 Raider Flamefeather

One of the Firecons. Can actually boost his defense when you flip orange while he defends; so is actually the most interesting of the three in my opinion. Shame his alt mode ability only works with the other Firecons.

T30 Raider Ion Storm

Vanilla on alt side. Bot mode side isn’t very interesting. A Wave filler Transformer.

T26 Raider Blowpipe

A card that will only get more potent as the game progresses and more colours get added. He’s not bad at the moment, though.

T07 General Optimus Prime

A bit of a let-down. Won’t see play over Battlefield Legend; as he’s nowhere near as good. Could have been an uncommon; as his ability is really unimpressive.

T06 General Megatron

He’s actually a very interesting card. He would be amazing in a deck with Megatron, Living Weapon… But unfortunately; Living Weapon is also 13*s and can’t be teamed up with the General! That’s the only shame; other than that, possibly the best Megatron.

T37 Raider Runamuck

He’s vanilla on alt side. When he flips to bot mode; his buddy Runabout does as well. Could be a fun combo at release events; and possibly after too!

T43 Sergeant Hound

He’s vanilla on alt side. Bot mode ability has been seen before on Starter Set Megatron. A Wave filler Transformer.

T36 Raider Runabout

He’s vanilla on bot side. When he flips to alt mode his buddy Runamuck flips (and both of them heal 1 damage!) Could be a fun combo at release events; and possibly after too!

T04 Captain Starscream

Another sinkhole Starscream. You need to build a deck around scrapping enemy upgrades for him to be useful. Don’t think he’ll see play over Decepticon King.

T20 Private Sideswipe

Wants to be the last bot standing so he can get big when you flip him to alt mode. Not sure he’s quite as good as Legendary Warrior Bumblebee (who also wants to be the last bot standing). Another candidate in car decks; though.

T22 Private Topshot

Does Incoming Transmission when his bot mode ability is used. Not a bad card; but I’m sure he’d only be useful turn 1 over Incoming Transmission itself.

T39 Raider Triggerhappy

His alt mode ability isn’t bad; especially to get back Grenade Launchers or Power Punches. Since he suits an orange deck; his bot mode ability isn’t bad either (two orange flipped = guaranteed 4 damage!).

T21 Private Stakeout

Does Rapid Conversion when his bot mode ability is used. Again; not sure this card would be preferable over the actual card; not even on turn 1. A Wave filler Transformer.

T44 Sergeant Skrapnel

His bot mode ability is interesting. Not sure he’s as good as Wave 1 Skrapnel; but he’s not bad.

T17 Private Pteraxadon

The weapon mode ability is very good. Brilliant counter to blue heavy decks; if it pays off. Shame he’s not a Dinobot.

I’m sure you’ve all got your favourites; and cards you want most (I know I do!) I hope you all get exactly who you want; and that you have fun playing with these new guys and gals!

Here’s Astrotrain! He was great fun to work on and all his info is below the cut! The last one amuses me to no end hahaha

Possibly the longest Decepticon, not the tallest.

Enjoys any excuse to use his power.

Hates continually getting left with menial tasks such as transportation.

His alt modes also irritate him, he wants to be part of a team that accepts both parts of him but finds that other ‘cons tend to mainly be interested in his spaceship mode and not his train-form, as such he tends to stubbornly try to raise his own gang/group of train bots.

Megatron had a habit of using him as a living shield, be it by putting him in the line of fire, jumping behind him or outright grabbing him and swinging him about. He has almost died several times due to this, after all, Megatron chucking him at a group of bots with energy swords wasn’t going to end nicely for him.

Is good drinking buddies with Long Haul as they both bemoan their roles, however, he quickly came to understand that Long Haul, despite moaning, is actually ‘content’ with his job and understands its importance to his group. Astrotrain has tried to take on a similar mindset but it’s usually ruined by his fellow Decepticons having no sense of respect to him.

Sat in a corner and cried when he saw Unicron. It’s okay, he wasn’t the only one doing that, many Autobots and Decepticons had a similar tearful reaction to the beast.

He secretly really, really, really wants to stroke Scourge’s fur and poke the more organic parts of Galvatron and Cyclonus. Call it morbid curiosity but he just kinda wants to know what it’s like. He is most certainly not alone in this.

Maybe out of some form of rebellious spite towards his cohorts he willingly took and donated the Decepticons meagre remains of Energon to Cyclonus to aid for the search of their missing leader.

Makes loud train honks to annoy/scare other bots.

He once accidentally startled Mirage from his invisible hiding spot by doing this but was too busy laughing at his intended victim’s reaction to notice.

He can rear up but needs at least 2-3 pairs of legs to remain on the ground else he becomes unstable and easy to topple.

Should the mood take him he can ‘slither’ like a serpent.

Used to have a speech impediment.

Shrieked like a little protoform when Galvatron picked him up. Turned out he was merely standing on something Galvatron wanted but was surprised to suddenly be lifted into the air. He’s since gone and recreated that effect by standing on/over things Galvatron wants. Galvatron seems to have no idea he’s doing it deliberately while Astrotrain is quite amused/entertained by doing this.

Was genuinely surprised when under Galvatron’s rule he wasn’t being ordered about like a transport drone and now seems to struggle with having the free time to do more things he wants to. It’s lead him to ask his superiors for odd jobs just to have less free time.

More perceptive than people give him credit for. He was among, if not the first, to note Galvatron came from Megatron and also quick to notice Galvatron was not a violent madman but deeply troubled by things beyond his comprehension causing aggressive breakdowns. The latter he later learned was lingering after-effects from Unicron and mental health issues, his perceptiveness isn’t as good as he’d like to brag it is.

Let the Sweeps paint his claw-tips pink once, it made him feel pretty.

Once failed spectacularly in an arm wrestling match with Cyclonus.

Has a weakness for coal fritters with an oil dressing. Yum.

Using his big claws, head and ability to pick up speed quickly, he likes ramming opponents often bulldozing them out the way.

After being prompted by Rumble and Frenzy, Astrotrain told Galvatron to call him “TeeTee” as a nickname in an attempt to get Galvatron to say “titty”, unfortunately, this is another thing that sailed over Galvatron’s head and now Astrotrain is stuck being called “TeeTee” every so often by Galvatron. Sorry bud, that joke backfired.

hi there. for your end of the months special, can i get a bayverse platonic and romantic match up? i'm an Aussie-american-Italian girl, i'm learning to speak Italian (dialect and generalized), i have a special interest in magical girl anime, sci-fi and various kinds of cars. i like to draw and paint. i sometimes do not get metaphors or jokes and i have a terrible sensitivity to noises. (i'm autistic) but other than that, i describe myself as cheerful and caring and overall positive.

((I already did the december match-ups, so this got put in the queue for January’s. Probably should’ve mentioned that in the note, sorry))

Your platonic guardian is…!

Mirage/Dino!

When he first came to earth, he hated humans. It might’ve been your chipper attitude, or maybe it was when you started speaking italian to him (considering his accent) but sooner or later, he was assigned as your guardian. He’s a bit rough around the edges, and maybe over time, he lets his shields come down.

Your romantic guardian is…!

Bumblebee!

He’s a happy go lucky mech and it’s most likely his cheerful attitude that drew you in to begin with. As he communicates with his radio, he does his best to make sure that whenever he’s talking to or around you, he has it lower than usual. He loves to see the beauty in art, especially how it’s made and such, and since his alt-mode seems to be ever changing, he’d definitely want your input.

((Hope you like the matchup results!))

~~Ohma~~

CS:GO. Forecast for the match Winstrike — Sprout. GG.BET New York Invitational (04.08.19)

New Post has been published on https://betting-tips.site/csgo-forecast-for-the-match-winstrike-sprout-gg-bet-new-york-invitational-04-08-19-2/

CS:GO. Forecast for the match Winstrike — Sprout. GG.BET New York Invitational (04.08.19)

GG.BET New York Invitational — ESL One New York Qualifier 2019

Winstrike Team vs. Sprout, best of 1

The beginning of the match: 04.08.19 at 18:15 GMT

Starting another battle GG.BET New York Invitational, will be meeting Winstrike and Sprout. Will Edward be able to lead your team to victory? The forecast used the line and the odds the bookmaker GG.bet.

Winstrike Team

After a loud exchange Boombl4 on Edward and Winstrike Team never managed to gain a stable shape and handed over positions, having fallen to 83 gorgeous places in the world rankings. The team is so unstable that sometimes it becomes difficult to predict their success even against the weakest opponent, as it was in the match against Se7en eSports, the coefficient on the victory which came to 2.6.

Let me remind you that at that time Winstrike sensationally gave the victory underdogs, showing a terrible game on the Train. Yes, the Russian team has a chance to win, especially in the case of the peak convenient, but the probability is so small that it can not take into account.

Sprout

Unlike Winstrike of the German five are going pretty well. They showed winstreak of four straight wins and should be able to get the fifth, because the opponent was too easy. Yes, Sprout is not perfect and can give the map another even weaker opponents, but their skill allows you to fight with colotomy teams and impose a competitive game. It should be noted that this is just a great performance, because only three months ago, in the nil “k1to” Grun. He perfectly blended in the new roster and quickly took the role as the primary shooter.

In the upcoming battle, “sprouts” is a position established favorites that are superior to the enemy in all respects. They can afford to play on any map, but most likely immediately banned Mirage, which can give your opponents a chance in a tight game.

Statistics

Winstrike Team.Win and four defeats in a row.

Sprout. Four wins in five matches.

The account of personal meetings — 4-4.

Forecast

If you do not take into account the dispersion factor of bo1 matches, I wouldn’t give “winstream” no chance. They are not yet ready for such a battle, therefore, will include a survival mode and will try to create any difficulties for the German five. My prediction — win Sprout with consideration of handicap -4,5, from BK GG.bet.

Lost Bots 6: Bluestreak, Reluctant Soldier

Note: When I deck build; I don’t look at any online deck lists. Any similarities to other listed decks are completely coincidental. That said; if someone else has built the same deck beforehand, I will credit them by saying that this deck matches _’s deck.

In these articles I’m going to build a deck for a Transformer who seems interesting; but you don’t ever seem to see. Today’s is Bluestreak, Reluctant Soldier.

A rather unusual character at that. He has no attack in alt mode and no defense in bot mode. But wait; he has an ability in bot mode that lets him flip back to alt mode if you flip an orange, a blue and a white when he attacks! And his alt mode has a very high base defense of 4! The only shame; if you don’t flip that colour combo when he attacks, he’s stuck in bot mode. And with only 9 health; he is likely to be creamed. So; do we team him up with, say Major Ultra Magnus (who also would like to flip blue and orange) or Blitzwing, Relentless Foe (for the same reason) or… Bluestreak would actually like a deck with a roughly even number of orange, blue and white since he can sneak back to alt mode after he attacks and not get too badly hurt! Wait, isn’t there another bot who wants this exact colour combination?

Yes there is! Private Red Alert! Who gets +3 attack if you flip that colour combo when he attacks. Until end of turn; so if he attacks twice somehow, he keeps the boost! The only other characters who want this colour are combiner parts (and neither are cars) so who else could we use? We will have quite a bit of white in so maybe…

Autobot Mirage, Lone Wolf! Another Lost Bot; since his ability seems to be rather good! If he flips 3 white when he attacks for the first time each turn; he untaps. And if the opponent’s bots are all tapped; he can swing again! He also lets you play an Action when he flips to alt; which is a really good ability. The only downside to him; he needs to flip lots of white and hence he’s a sinkhole. Now on to the deck for these three.

Deck Name: Life is a Highway

Bots:

Bluestreak, Reluctant Soldier

Autobot Mirage, Lone Wolf

Private Red Alert

Deck (40):

Anticipation Engine x3

Brainstorm x3

Data Pad x3

Fuel Cache x1

Incoming Transmission x3

Leap into Battle x3

Press the Advantage x3

Ramming Speed x3

Rapid Conversion x3

Roll Out! x3

Spinner Rims x3

Start Your Engines x3

Steady Shot x3

Turbo Boosters x3

A relatively typical cars deck; I’d say; with exception being how much white is in there! Lots of actions too; with the 1 star battle card being Fuel Cache (if flipped when Red Alert or Bluestreak is attacking; they instantly get the benefit). Lots of attack boosting cards (which are fantastic when revealed with Anticipation Engine) too. You will note that it is the only weapon in there; but I’m not sure these guys need a different one. Feel free to try the deck out!
