Likes: That I had a lot of time this week due to school being on holiday and I got all my grading / lesson planning done on Monday and Tuesday. This meant I was able to play all day, every day to be a FTP player and T1 and actually get 8 hours sleep a night. Luxury! Also, being able to craft my ally list to include more Wikia users, thanks for the hook up guys.

Dislikes: Aside from the issues that have already been highlighted in other forums (Megatrons low stats, Beachcomber being on droid roids - seriously, see my pic at the end to see what I mean!), the thing I didn't like the most about this episode was the FLAVOUR. Those of you who are MTG  players and have seen LSV videos will know what I'm getting at here. I think the whole flavour of the episode was off by having Gears and Beachcomber raiders. Yes, they appeared in the actual episode (I had to re-watch to check!) but only in the background very briefly. A more logical choice would have been Perceptor and one of the Aerialbots, to counter the fact they had one of the Stunticons as a boss. The flavour thing bugged me in 'More Than Meets the Eye' as well, as it really should've been Wheeljack instead of Cliffjumper. Oh well, one more thing Noobage needs to get right.

Other: I finally managed to completely upgrade my Sunstorm from my first T1 win. Then I was disappointed. See pics below that show what I mean.



So this is my Base, sorted by 'Overall' in descending order. Note the R6 Beachcomber must've smoked something else to his usual stash, as he is apparently more badass than a R7 - and much less intensive to upgrade as well! And of course you can see Ultra Mitt-gus coming in as the 4th 'best overall' in my deck. Sheesh. I imagine the R7 Megatron I got will slot in between Beachcomber and Sunstorm after I go through a week of solid upgrading.
