Ill admit I am a newbie but I got to thinking about something whilst reading this.

Currently you have an alt, robot and a Transcan card. All of which can be used regardless of level or form. In theory you could have a Robot Prime, Alt Prime and TS Prime on your back row.

Limit the number of 'same' cards you can have to one per team so only varient of prime and instead of just being able to TS 'bots you need to use some kind of in game modifier to do so, for arguments sake, lets call it a spark. A level 1-9 needs 1 Spark * rarity level  a level 10-19 needs 2 * rarity. Do this for both versions and you have your new cost for upgarding to a Trans Scan.

So lets say Prime at rarity 3 and maxed out both bot and alt would need 30 Sparks plus the credit cost to TS.

Bot - rare 3 * 5 (level 50) + Alt - rare 3 * 5 (level 50) = 30

You could make Sparks harder to find, have them in both Character and weapon packs, in event rewards etc. It might mean we see fewer 'maxed out' chars for a while or some lesser chars being maxed out instead of the usual suspects.

You could then of course couple this with the other ideas above with a 'Matrix' allowing you to expand someones max level and use the same math to work out the cost. Rarity * level/10 = Matrix cost.

Like I say, I am new, probbably not thought this through but feel free to extrapolate on this if you want.
