Both quoted for truth... it really does screw up the point formula even if you aren't paying for the ATA (as it was like a traited Phasing, and the power alone isn't cheap)... but I can honestly say I have never once in 4-5 years of playing at that time seen anyone play ANY of the figures with the Serpent Society or Morlock team symbol on their base (except for using the sculpt for a mod and one that tossed the generic Morlock onto his sealed team because he had the points left). If the figures were better, they might have been used more... but they only made a couple and they all sucked. :-s

They just need to reinstate the team abilities. It is dumb change and it would be nice to see the TA symbol pop up on future figures.

The argument for getting rid of the team abilities was that the PAC was getting too long with all the team abilities listed on it. That argument is no longer valid as the team abilities are no longer listed on that document.

Not untrue, but then that means they would have to change/remove the ATA because of figures almost 10 years old that nobody uses anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was stupid when they took out the two TAs and made the ATAs, but it wasn't over the top because they were crap figures that nobody ever used.
That being said, it might have been cool/mean to see the SS TA on DP Anaconda to make it easier to get her into place, but it's just a few points more to add that phasing when she's on a theme team (which isn't a bad trade-off considering how dangerous she can be and how easily she can already move around)... just sayin'.

Was that a WK statement or merely player assumption?
