Strong Match-ups:
- Brawlers like to Armor Up and often focus on Melee Damage. Rodimus can easily Nullify and Armor Break with his Specials, and he’ll gain Armor if he gets hit by too many Melee attacks.
Weak Match-ups:
- Demolitions bots tend to land fewer, but big damage hits, especially with their special attacks. A Demolition bot can blow right past some of Rodimus Prime’s low health benefits. Ranged attacks also won’t trigger Rodimus Prime’s Armor Up passive.

Is anyone playing this? I was wondering how do you get new bots? Is it wise to attend faction symbols on 3* bots?
I'm a bit stuck, I've only got the two 3* bots you get free (shockwave and dead end). I'm grinding for upgrade crystals but it's taking forever. Also I haven't had any new bot crystals in a while and it doesn't look like they come by easily from the away missions or arena fights. I wanted to save my faction symbols for 4* bots but haven't unlocked them yet

It\'s not the same as before, it\'s a different game now. I used to fully enjoy it, never understood why it was yanked from its fans last winter. If it gets pulled a second time who knows why? Contest Of champions still stands in which Forged to Fight got its life from. They say some bots will not return while other will, I can\'t argue about that it just needs continuity. I have testimony from android users but as a IOS user tgis has been my experience in the couple of weeks of my return to FTF. In App Store game is downloadable and when download finish you will be immediately directed to Netflix to sign in or sign up to continue playing. $15 and some change is the monthly charge and once paid the first payment, the forging begins but with ⚠️ caution ⛔️ Like there\'s no in game support. The game doesn\'t have any in game purchase options, resources are earned normally but some are doubled. With no in game support if you come across things like questionable base attacks, nodes on the map not corresponding to mission completion, using 40 ore-13 for a 24 hr raid shield but it last 1 minute, Thera no one to ask for support. If you raid and earn 100,000 raid chips from your battles but then log in the next day and without attacks your chips are gone, no one to sisal you about that. Looks like your not seeing much 4 or 5 star shards/chips via story and missions but continue to be raided by 4 and 5 star bots, no one to speak with. Played several missions, burn out, got a relic but it\'s gone next log in, no one to speak to. Something not right in the fields or arena, it\'s like tuff luck guys! Netflix has taken responsibility of support by proving the 3 or 4 basic groups: account, email, downloads and purchases. All meaning Netflix support and not Forged to Fight support. Talking to that chat on Netflix support will have you realize how much we were left it to dry by the devs. Same great gameplay, bad representation! Good Luck!

An actually free version of the game now? (Netflix sub aside.) Wow… May have to check it.
Nem
It honestly is, but I just wanted to be as charitable as possible when writing that.
TF Hot Rod
Why thank you, I try my best.
It's embarrassing is what it is.

Decided to pick up F2F, and gameplay is still fun as it was before.
I was a very on/off again player back then, so I have no real problem starting over; It's nice to build up from a fresh start.
Very indifferent to the removal of Bayformers. (Would matter a lot more if there were more of them in the game but they stopped adding them anyway, after Hound in 2018).
But I can't gaurantee I'll keep caring about this game unless there is a promise to add new content. Not bringing back old content that was cut (Bayverse Bots), but *new* new content, like Chromia and Dead End. BW Megatron would be a good start.
Hopefully this revival is successful enough so that the game can fully return without Netflix necessitating publishing, (which I feel is what the devs are intending) and go all-in on new content
Nem
Regardless on your opinion of Bayformers, I don't understand how anyone could be happy about the removal of content, especially content that's a key part of the game's premise just because they don't like it. That's just really petty. "Yes, I'm thrilled that they removed this massive pile of characters from the game just because they were from movies I didn't like!" That is petty no matter how you slice it, you are allowed to be petty, no one is going to stop you from being petty. But it is petty.
zark225
Oh boo fucking hoo. Didn't you start ignoring people once they started disagreeing with you? Don't act all innocent lol.

Don't play the victim now.
jamarmiller
Nobody cares if you do so , and I at least , fully support your right to do so , what people have a problem with is when bay fans attack those who don’t like the movie stuff and voice it. So go ahead ,please ! voice your displeasure, I totally get it. I would be too !! just stop attacking others with differing opinions
Sneakoarc
I think we are allowed to be upset that they removed Bay characters from the game and we are just as allowed to voice our opinions on it just like how people who constantly complain about the Bay films are still allowed to do that. Idk why some people are bringing up Studio Series stuff though.
zark225
So calling out dumb behavior is petty now? Lmao okay, whatever helps you feel better I suppose. Its also sad to see that the second someone disagrees with you that you just put them on ignore.
Some people's kids man.
VVa
Well, you are the one who made a cringey condescending comment after being called petty, so.
jamarmiller
calling the kettle black much ?
petty comment made in response to petty people
petty people put on ignore list
zark225
Well, he isn't wrong. Its pretty damn petty to say the very least.
VVa
Thought so.
jamarmiller
in the gym running while doing this, I dont care, welcome to the ignore list
VVa
*you're
You can't be a fossil and not know the difference.

Could the movie fans please stop trying to get this thread locked for clean up? Thanks.
