Once you get to the final tier, you know, the "40x" base rate tier, this is equivalent to a 1% chance. I believe the 1% chance is is PER CARD of getting a Megatron, so you have ten card draws at 1% odds each for a Megatron when you slam the unlimited final coin bridge. If that's NOT the case, then you'd be hitting the 3000 coin bridge for a 1% chance of a Megs each time. You willing to spend 3000 coins over and over and over again to try to capture both halves of a card at those odds?

Mobage's chart comes with limited explanation; the title is "The Base Rate of obtaining a Ultra Rare Episode card increases as you purchase Space Bridge Tiers" but its label on the chart is "episode super rare base rate" so that is confusing since Megatron is considered UR, but whatever, Mobage isn't known for being careful in their communication.

While I'm on the subject though, Spark, would you honestly expect them to offer x3 SS, x5 SW, and x10 Megs at EQUAL PROBABILITIES? Are you insane? They make the x3 the most common drop, the x5 the uncommon drop, and the x10 the extremely rare drop. The chances change every tier, but if the posted odds are to be believed, the initial 100 tier of the space bridge has odds of 0.025%, again, topping out at the final bridge with a whopping 1% probability. There's some whining and complaining for you, next time you offer input make sure you have at least a basic knowledge of what you're talking about.

I don't think this is correct. I pulled 2 MTM megatrons in the first round of the space bridge. I know that's ridiculously lucky, but it did happen. 1% sounds far too low because the odds of pulling 4 megatrons, regardless of type, out of 5 pulls, would be near impossible if the odds were truly 1%. On one of my pulls, I pulled a starscream x3 as well as a megatron. I wish mobage would disclose the odds on things. This was my first time using the spacebridge and I didn't realize they gave you R3 cards, that's crap. I thought the other cards would be R4 to help me fill out the ones I don't have (nearly all of them).
