I literally almost quit the game this morning because of the bridge. It's no secret to anyone in chat that I've had abysmal luck in the bridge, despite spending what are in hindsight ludicrous amounts of money. Never saw a piece of Jetfire, never MTM'ed a Rampage, no real luck since the Nemesis event. I went through all 3 loops and 2 extra 10 packs last night... all I got after $150, an MTM Swindle. Sure, I had a BlastOff alt, and a couple of MTM Vortexes (all useless in my deck), but I had a crap ton of Swindle robots and Vortex alts which showed me that "random" is a complete misnomer. So, after an angry night of sleep, I'd decided that I'd drop $30 and try one more 10 pack, which would decide whether I stay or delete the game on the spot. Sounds stupid, but $30 is a pittance compared to what I would spend on the next few weeks so it was a bargain either way.

So I had my iphone with the delete option wiggling in one hand, and my iPad in the other working the space bridge. Low and behold, Mobage bought itself one more week of my time. In that one pack I got 2 BlastOff bots, 2 Swindle alts, and another Vortex alt (and my first Metroplex piece). It's like the game knew I was serious. No looking back. With my newfound luck I was able to have an MTM BlastOff and 3 MTM'ed Swindles. Despite my deck power of almost 22k, I can only one cube a Blurr6, but I'll take it.

So Mobage, you have me for one more week. I gotta say, I can't imagine I'll be spending this kind of money again any time soon. But I was so bored last week, I think I had the extra cash burning a hole in my pocket. Of course, now with rampant energon shortage, Mobage is just angering me again. Time will tell.

Don't mistake this as a "go for it" tale. It's not. I really was fed up enough with my "luck" to delete the game and just walk away (and be happier in the long run for it). Consider it my cautionary tale not to spend the money in the first place!

Good luck...
