I agree, once you commit to top 100 you should go all in. There is not much worse than just getting pipped at the post. Last event there was only 300K points between myself and 100th place - that's a warning not to get comfortable at the end. In the last hour, be prepared to blow 6 or 9 cubes per boss, because other players won't be seeding - they will be doing the same. Make sure you have a little energon to seed your own bosses. Be prepared and get your mobacoins ready in advance, you can judge how you are fairing and and use it for an emergency, or save it for a X5 card next episode. People may have different opinions, but I think regardless of whether people consider this a 'free' game, if you enjoy playing it and enjoy the journey (and love Transformers), there's nothing wrong with spending a little money on it.

As far as hitting top tier every week, I don't think it's sustainable. I did it once because I was curious as to what it takes. My first episode was Beast Wars and I ranked 2071 and I really enjoyed it. I decided that for myself anyway, to play this game long term, the most balanced approach would be to push for high rank once every two or three episodes and save cubes in between. Getting top 100 every week must be very stressful, and you end up replacing 6 hard-earned/hard-spent cards every episode. I think it's a bit counterproductive to replace your rewards too quickly.

Anyway, good luck!
