AT's Def, if he is in Leader row, is very high. He also has the highest HP in the game. He has the second-longest lifespan in the game (behind Nova Prime), living 33% longer than Galvatron does. Mathematically, it more than makes up for his weaker atk.

I think Mirage is fantastic, he has huge HP compared to some. AT's defense with weapon looks to be basically same as Hotspot.. and testing my Hotspot in this campaign.. he takes 5k less damage than Galv. (22k and 27k respectively). I don't get the 33% part.. and realistically.. because everything else will be dead anyway due to not having the def and HP of AT, the extra hits will all go into AT anyway, which would negate his benefits I think..

And to call Mirage weak at 19th.. AT's attack is even lower than Mirage.. so... no way he could be the second best card :p
