For the TFBT:

Core drops get easier with Tier Rank, both for yourself and for your opponent. Therefore your highest chance for drops are if you are a high rank, and battle high rank opponents. Bot battles are good for hunting because you know who you are fighting against, and you still gain rank points.

Hunter, Scout, and Solder cores drop from bots of the same type. Blitzwing is a hunter so would drop hunter cores. Cyclonus and Jazz are Solders so they drop Solder cores. The combiner can drop a mix of cores but mostly drop solder.

Jetfire II and Blitzwing cores only drop from those bots, are rarely, even at high ranks. Some people are lucky enough to get a string of drops, but mostly if you see 3 blitzwings, they are paying money somewhere.

The best team combination right now are 3 bltzwings and one jetfire II. It is the most flexable and jetfire can protect your team from bombs and the like.

personally Im starting to not like it. the cost of losing at high rank is very high with having to wait 2.5 hours for a team to repair. completely kills motivation.
