Level - (pre event) 54     (post event) 73. Timed as many of those levels as I could for more energon and cubes, mostly energon though wasn't so concerned with keeping extra BCs this event.

Battle Cube Recharges - (pre event) 17    (post event) 77     (spent) about 30 to push through to H5 and Ultra Magnus (because he was so awesome)

Small Energy Recharges - (pre event) 76   (post event) *0*    (spent) ALL of them and more trying for Wheelie, then Wreck-Gar, then Ultra Magnus, most of which ended up being such a waste with nothing to show for it (or so I thought.....)

Energon Nets - (pre event) 88     (post event) 93      (spent) A lot. Never skipped a chance to net something. Only ever netted one boss.

Deck - (pre event) 9163    (during event) up to 14400 near the end    (post event) 10851 with all leader cards as Sharpies.

Final Placement - Rank# 4209 approx 400,000 scores.

Goal - My goal was Tier 3 (which I got), I like being able to get *something* from the event, the Lev3 Ultra Magnus cards as a reward were a bit of a joke, wanted the Lev4 Arcee set (and not just the robot card), in that - my goal was successful.

My thoughts (the bad) - After the first 4 days, I was exceptionally down with the constant rejection of both Wheelie and Wreck-Gar's capture attempts. I wanted to get 2 more Wheelie cards to make the set, but after spending practically all of my Energon Recharges on him,  I tried Wreck-Gar (had his weapon by this stage too), but had no success here either. I had thought if I managed just one capture, I'd use my two 100% chains (and purchase one more) to complete his set, alas I never got a thing. His attempts, while all completely useless did give me a larger Ruby intake, which was part of the reason I pushed towards H5 and Ultra Magnus even though it was slightly out of my depth.

The good - it wasn't until fairly late in the event that I realised just how good the Sharpshot cards were. By the time I did, I had over 750 and snagged a Sharpshot 2 Robot (x5) and that made a phenomenal difference to my deck - even with just the one card. I then picked up 2x Sharpshot 1 (x3) and immediately MTM'd the card. With about a day and a half remaining in the event, I decided to push through Hard for the greater ruby intake and spend my 100% chains on Ultra Magnus, each time guaranteeing me another Sharpshot 1 card. On my very first fight with UM, I impulsively chose the free energon chain and immediately cursed myself - however as fate would have it, I won the capture. My first boss capture and it happened to be UM. I ended up using my other two 100% chains (and one extra) completing the Ultra Magnus set, gaining a ton of rubies for more Sharpshots and securing my place in Tier3. Looking at my deck now, I've had a fairly decent upgrade and have a ton of upgrades to do...............

New Cards Gained - 3x Sharpshot 1 Robot, 2x Sharpshot 1 Alt (making two MTM), 2x Sharpshot 2 Robot, 1x Sharpshot 2 Alt (making one MTM), 4x Ultra Magnus (will MEM when I am able), 2x Wheelie (hooray), 1x Flarewar Robot from an Episode Medal

Special Thanks - to the Chat crew for practicing their voodoo magic and best hopes when playing the Ruby Roulette (TM) for a Sharpshot 2 (x5) Alt and receiving exactly that. This card will be in my deck for a long time.
