I think the new TAs are cool.

For those of you complaing about Morlocks getting a TA, instead of other teams that deserve TAs. Remember that WizKids now plans on introducing something new in each set. It's fine to assume that every once in a while they'll give us another TA with very few characters like the Skrulls, Defenders, or the FantasticFour.

That's cool as long as the TAs are useful and not simply new MoE . . .

Alright, who here thinks that the Morlock team ability is what the Masters of Evil SHOULD have been?!?

Morlocks ain't MOE, only the Morlock is the one gaining the bonus and the other freindly adjacent figures do not need to be Morlocks as well.

I disagree. The real problem with MoE is that it is an action-saving TA and all the good MoE characters are over 100 pts, thus making it totally unnecessary, plus it doesn't work with RCE (sorry Kang and Klaw), or any other power actions.

That's what I'm saying, MoE sucks and should be more like the Morlocks TA.

Actually, with 5 morlocks you could get 1 with +4 (+3), 2 with +2, and 2 with +1.

With this configuration:

MOM
MMM

M=Morlock
O=Opposing fig

How could this happen, you say? Mind Control, that's how.

Didn't see you there.

MOE isn't as usless as people think. It's easier for wildcards to use MOE than the MOEers. Taskmaster, Doombots, heck even Black Cat and Daredevil can use the ability with Whirlwind, Mr. Hyde, Yellowjacket and Moonstone to great effect.

The thing with a MOE team is that it won't have nothing but MOEs on it.

Actually, one would have +3 (capped) and the other 4 would have +2

123
4T5

2 is adjacent to all = +4
1 is adjacent to 2 + 4 = +2
3 is adjacent to 2 + 5 = +2
4 is adjacent to 1 + 2 = +2
5 is adjacent to 2 + 3 = +2

Not bad, but they better all be cheap, otherwise you're gonna have to run big games to make it work good. I am happy that Taskmaster Sandman and Spiral just got a whole lot meaner...

One way is to mind control someone to come to you. The advantage is that each morlock could attack, assuming you have enough actions, so if you miss w/ one you can try the next and they can continue using the TA on each other. Once I did this w/ the MOE and Taskmaster, Spiral and Whirlwind, but Spiral managed to finish it all by herself so I never got to use the ability.

Do you think the next set will have ultimate Fantastic Four. That would rock. I wonder if they'll fit in all the ultimates. It wouldn't be to hard since there anrn't that many of them.

Volume two of Ultimates promises to introduce a bunch of new characters.

This is exciting news.

I hope they make a Lynch that can take down all the Heroclix universe.

Doombots with Morlocks team ability here we come!

Serpent Society members will probably have similar powers like Kobra and Kobra Fanatics.

I think Sidewinder will be the big gun in Serpent Society with possible powers like Charge, Blades/Fangs or Poison, and Toughness in his dial.

Anti-Stealth is welcome. They mentioned cheaper pieces with Ultimates team ability meaning "Say Good-bye to Stealth pieces..."

I really wanted a cooler team of figures like Alpha Flight, Power Pack, Heroes for Hire, or Thunderbolts than the Ultimate X-Men.

We can have difficult sculptures besides remakes of X-Men.

You can't argue with this news.

Quite disappointed with what Ultimates has to offer, based on the preview, especially due to the fact that we've been waiting how many months for this expansion to be released? Depends on who will be shipped in this set, but more than likely, it's going to be mediocre, at best. Like the Ultimates and SS TAs, but the rest blow chunks.
Another X-Men/2000 A.D. TA,? Unless, of course, Bishop, Cable or Forge will be included Has WK ever heard of the Inhumans? A Hellfire Club would've been sweeter than Serp Soc, but we, the fans and consumers, only have so much influence...

Wow. New versions of the same characters we already have. How exciting.

Now, where in the stinking bleeding heck is ALPHA FLIGHT?!?!?!
