028 mirage - i'm digging the sniper role here, especially with the hunting rifle configuration giving him that range and ps but at less than his punches. there's some neat interaction in that. coupled with his range defenses, he may not even care that much if he's stealth-busted. where does the exp starting line start?

037 mirage - this version interestingly focused on your favorite power incap. the speed penalty really motivates a driveby shooting mentality with this design. really like the stealth pacing throughout both these dials

047 megatron - here we go

. the equip effect is a stellar way to make anyone dangerous and it conveniently removes megatron from the map when some less than comfy stuff might be going down. he is a blaster from heck. he'll be racking up a body count easy peasy with the immense amount of dmg he's slinging. frankly, i'm terrified of him and it's all warranted. the surprise is the middle brawler that will catch offguard anyone that thinks that now he's based and has been smacked around a bit, he's easy points. oh no. megatron is bringing some pain to the poor fool that tries to jump on this grenade.

Very cool Megatron.

Now I'm going to comment on something other than rules. This is just my opinions, so feel free to ignore me:

I feel like "Wait, I still function" would work better on the defense special, since that's at the end of his dial. So I would shuffle the defense flavour text around a bit.

I also feel like "Such heroic nonsense" from the Transformers movie would make for some great flavour text. Maybe instead of "Die Autobots", since that flavour text doesn't really fit a defense power that well.

Again, feel free to ignore my suggestions here. This is your set, and your Megatron is already very cool.

Here's the clip from the movie:

Thank you. I wanted him to be one of the, if not the most powerful characters in the set pound for pound.

I'm glad you liked them

Edit: You forgot to change Invulnerability. Now you've got two "Wait, I still function"s. You could give the old defense special flavour text to that. "No weaknesses", I think.

giving out the exosuit as an object via the ultra chase is shades of thanos in making him more chaseable. I like the open-ended "colossal retaliation" effect. that makes him very ultra chasey. beyond that, very reasonable stats and powers for the character keep him from being broken, but yeah, you can do some mean, mean stuff with that

That's a lot of great quotes for Optimus' flavour text. The only one I feel is missing is "I thought you were made of sterner stuff!" from the movie fight (immediately after the quote you used for Plasticity, I believe). Also, it's apparently a Shakespeare reference. Which is cool, but not something I really know anything about.

This one is probably my favourite. When I saw you used it for RAM, I could practically hear the song playing and see Prime rolling out. Yeah!

046 optimus prime - true story, I read every single bit of flavor and power text in peter cullen's most excellent voice

. the fact this dial immediately invites the inner child in me to do so is already a win. duuuuude. matrix of leadership is so boss

. I love that you incorporated all those effects into the leadership mechanic itself so you can see the power of command. a wonderful addition to a tentpole commander, especially as those effects largely help him, too, and not just the 100pts of extra he brings to a standard sized force. great flow from a frontline leading the assault shooter, to a continuing the charge brawler, to a tieup with teeth, to a last ditch i'm-taking-you-with-me finish. I tried not to get all misty remembering there wasn't a dry eye in the theaters when optimus bit it, and this dial is telling me that noble story so well

g008 optimus prime - don't think I don't notice what that last click RAM is for... great job. I love that you further enhanced the sf mechanic with a 3rd option in the truck and an internal sf within this dial. i understand the need to differentiate them mechanically into different

because of the extra wording the tractor trailer gets and you might as well eliminate any funny stuff rules-lawyer-wise with the internal shift. i am digging that stan bush flavor text in his 2 SPs. it makes me rethink that "touch" as a little more punchy

and the way he's shielding his allies when carrying them in his trailer is an amazing touch of design. amazing combination of all the effects, throughout the 3 dials almost leadership on every click. the roller is generated to set up the shot for the big bot adds some strategic elements to the whole package beyond 1 dial and the combat deck's enhancement is a delight to see. all in all what a wonderful post today and a great way to showcase THE robot in disguise

This design, more than any other was inspired by your Silver Age set. I'm pretty sure I ripped the leadership power from one of your designs in that set.

Also, the idea of the shifting focus and in-dial shift were inspired partly by all the wonderful innovative colossal designs you did. So, I'm glad you like them, because basically they're your designs

During scenes where Prime and Ironhide are talking, I like to imagine Peter Cullen talking to himself. It makes me laugh everytime.

Guys, seriously, thank you so very much for the support on this set. Each review or suggestion made my day. Without you guys, it would have gotten pretty lonely here.

I'm glad I could be a part of it. This was fun, and you designed some great dials for these characters!
