Seeking Answers About Ramjet
Derek Uses His Head When Animating Ramjet
Cuz: As much as I want to use a Dad joke about Ramjet using his head, I actually am pretty stoked on how he uses his chest in his Special One. Those pectorals rockets are rad. Tell us about your favorite animations for Ramjet.
Derek: Yeah i’m still recovering from all the ramming! Special 2 is one my favorite moves spinning off a 2 kick attack to the chest to launch his arm rocket is very cool!
Sam Makes Starscream’s Buddy Shine
Cuz: I notice in Ramjet’s Special 3, he does a cool strafing run but then his rocket barrage misses. As the person responsible for his FX, is this your fault? Why the hate for Ramjet, Sam?
Sam: I blame the animators! Seriously though, there’s no hate. Ramjet’s awesome, just a little hot-headed and that doesn’t help his aim, is all.
Cuz: I like that answer, it’s a Motormaster-sized bus you threw the animators under. Easier question, what’s your favorite effect you did for Ramjet?
Sam: Definitely the shockwave blast and then full body slam into the ground on his Special 3. It’s fun adding the extra layer of drama to cool animations.
Ryan Gives the Lowdown on Designing Ramjet
Cuz: I have to imagine Ramjet must play pretty well with his fellow Seeker Starscream. Tell us about Ramjet’s skills and who to team him up with and who he might have trouble beating.
Ryan: Ramjet is designed to be an easy bot to use, almost all of his Special Attacks are guaranteed to leave his opponent’s Stunned, Burnt, or both. Ramjet doesn’t just like smashing into enemies, he loves it, and to that end Ramjet becomes Unstoppable while using Heavy Attacks, ensuring he wins any (and all) head-on collisions.
You’ll want to pair Ramjet with his boss Starscream to enable the powerful Seeker synergy. When paired with Motormaster, both bots will share their cool destructive abilities with each other. Ramjet is going to have trouble dealing with Tech bots like Mirage that stifle his Power Gain or those like Rhinox that Shield themselves against his potent Special Attacks.
Cuz: And, here’s the standard question for Commanders that like to focus on the base and defense…what is Ramjet’s best mod to pair with? What mods will give him a headache?
Ryan: Opponents better get used to being immobile while facing Ramjet on the Paralyzer Mod. The Paralyzer will Stun the opponent, Ramjet will Stun the opponent, and the enemy will be unable to save themselves. On the other hand, Ramjet will hate fighting opponents on the Exo Filter. The Filter will cleanse his Stun and Burn Debuffs leaving Ramjet toothless and cone headed.

Well, I finally got my first 5 star boy…but it’s a bit annoying because the overall game difficulty jumps up in various aspects of the game…so things that I was doing easily, like away missions, are now nearly impossible.
In terms of game design, it makes advancing in the game feel more like a punishment than a reward.
jamarmiller
yeah, your doing something wrong.
each mission has an easy street through all the acts. Just do the easy street on all missions and acts you should be getting tons of those. I dont play it that much but I got like 10 4 STAR BOTS already. dont try to do 100 percent complete on each one until you got a strong team of at least 4 star guys.
Whomps
Are you doing Alliance missions? You should be getting some for participating in those as well as some level 4 shards
Tresob
This is true, but they want 100,000 faction credits per 4 star bot…which seems hard to acquire if I am barely progressing in the story mode because it has gotten so hard to find a path that is beatable.
Whomps
You should be able to buy more 4 star bots once you unlock your first one
Tresob
I have been playing way too much of this for what it is.
And I am a bit annoyed at how steep the challenge curve is in the story mode. All of a sudden, every path has four star bots, but I only have one four star Megatron and a bunch of three star guys…so it is becoming a slog.
Tresob
I just downloaded this again on Netflix. Haven’t played this years, and I am very overwhelmed by the unnecessarily complex economy.
Nice to play with Combiner Wars figures after so long…makes me miss’em.
Peaceful Soldier
I have an alliance called "Soldiers of Peace" if anyone wants to join. We are a group of friendly people, all with the same passion for the whole franchise. Please join us.

I still find it so strange that Netflix decided to buy this game. I wish it were Paramount instead since they have the movie rights and cartoon rights to Earthspark and such. Honestly removing the bayverse bots does me a favor since I'm not a fan of them but it eould have been nice to potentially see Bumblebee movie and RotB designs in the future as well as Earthspark designs but I don't see that happening with Netflix in charge. I'm also extremely warru of how much they're actually going to support this game. I wouldn't be surprised if they only add a couple more characters and then it's dead again within a year– especially with the stupid Netflix account requirement. I guess time will tell.

Can anyone actually unlock a core mastery? I bought the module in the store but the game is not recognizing it.

Ok so I just got my first 2 star bot and have progressed far into the first campaign, but I have a little issue. Whenever I want to choose a nickname so I can join a team and fight arenas, it displays a message saying I no longer have Internet access, when I actually have. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, is there a solution?
Sleeplash
So, after getting the first 2 star bot during the first campaing, I realized I now had access to a 2 star bot shop (Or it could be because i leveled up my account, idk), so i'm guessing (hoping, actually) that you will get access to a 3 star shop after making more progress on the story?

Been playing Earth Wars since FTF ended but am enjoying this Netflix revival – it sure runs a helluva lot smoother now than when Kabam left it to die. It's weird starting over with 1 star bots though. I want my 5 Star Megatronus back lol
Gears
Its fun getting back into this game and Deadend is awesome
Jetfire83
Agreed. I don't really know if the more stylized series (Animated, EarthSpark, Prime, Cyberverse, etc.) would work in this style. I think the various anime series (Headmasters, RID2001, Unicron Trilogy, etc.) and the Cybertron game trilogy would be the best fits.
CodeXCDM
They forgot a Bayverse bot on a screenshot. Oops.
Kidding aside, wonder why Bayverse was removed. Issues with Paramount, I guess?
If they plan on continuing this, they should consider other universes like Legacy is doing.
Q Prime
Been playing for a few day, and thoughts:
Characters: Despite the addition of Chromia and Dead End, the removal of the Bayverse bots really makes the combat encounters repetitive due to a lower variety of bots. Would’ve been nice if they also added a few more bots to balance it out, but hopefully we get more in the future. Also, this would’ve been a great opportunity for them to refresh the character models to be based on the modern generations ones, seeing as almost every character in the game has been redone in a singular aesthetic since rather than the hodgepodge of design influences currently seen.
Game design: It would be nice if it was easier to unlock bots, as after the first six levels you seemingly can only buy bots (and you don’t get much of the bot-buying currency) or get one by 100%ing a chapter, which leads on to my next complaint. Exploring alternate routes post-chapter 1 is near-impossible for a long time after first beating it, as they feature 3* bots of a rating at least three times as much as the lowest route, and after having almost completed the first campaign I still don’t have access to those which means I can only do the basic route for the time being. Blocking is also sometimes a bit slow to respond.
Overall a fairly fun (if mindless) game with a few flaws but nothing game breaking.
Also, I have an issue in that the game is preventing me from playing the Fog of War thing, with a red lock being in the corner yet no error message as to why that is. Can anyone help?
Arvegtor
So, a question for those who can actually play this game: does the fog of war have any story, and if it does, what is it?
Lothar Hex
Cheers boss.

It's for the mastery stuff but that doesn't become available until level 18, had the same glitch on my end, once you hit 18, hit that tab, then go to mastery and spend your first point and it should go away
