So I just finished my first episode in the game and overall it was a pretty good experience. One small thing that was a bit surprising and gave me pause for thought though was the last 90 min or so of the event, and I was wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing or if it was just me.

Having just started out I was playing pretty heavily from end of the first day (first joined at 6d2h left) and got myself to about 8.5k rank with about 3d to go. Till that point, the bosses were getting bigger and I began seeing the occasional Starscream 1-3.

I was expecting it to get bigger and bigger with everyone on here talking about Megatrons and then L6 bosses, but it just stayed pretty stagnant for me. I saw one Megatron 1 with about 2-3 days to go, and didn't see one again until the last day. Mainly, I was happy spending (timed) cubes on L3 Starscreams for 3500 points.

Such, it was all I could do to maintain about 8.3k rank, and I wasn't climbing any further. With a few hours to go there was no way I was breaking 7.5k rank with 3500 point Starscream 3s.

Then with 90mins to go in the event everything went boom. I had several L6 bosses in my help queue. Suddenly the point rewards skyrocketed from 3500 to 30k+++. The L6 bosses kept coming, along with L1-5 Megatrons (that by now I had no interest in...).

For a player in my situation, it leaves a curious taste in the mouth that in the last 90min I basically doubled my score. I was struggling to make the 500k points reward tier with a few hours to go (55k shortfall in points is a lot of level 3 Starscreams), and then next thing I know I could pass 1 million.

I'm happy too so this isn't a rant, because with the last 90min blitz I managed to hit that 7.5k rank which got me half of Rumble which is still a big upgrade for me.

Just curious if the stagnation in boss levels in the last 3 days, and sudden escalation in the last 90min, is normal? I was pretty flat emotionally over the last 3 days after not being able to make ground due to bosses not getting bigger - believe me I stared at the screen a lot!

Was something glitchy that caused me to not see bigger bosses in the final days? And/or did I have mad luck in the last 90mins?
