Health: 4682
Attack: 312
Max Rating: 1309

Health: 12169

Venom Backfire

When opponents activate a Special Attack, Backfire is consumed and inflicts 91.8~140% Attack as Shock damage per charge.
If the opponent does not use a Special Attack and 2 Backfire charges expire simultaneously, the opponent is also Stunned for 3 seconds.
If 3 or more Backfire charges expires simultaneously, the opponent takes Shock Damage equal to 500% of Attack Rating over 4 seconds.
Critical Melee Attacks

30~40% chance to Bleed, dealing 40~60% of Attack over 4 seconds.

SIGNATURE ABILITY: REGENERATIVE TOXIN
Fueled by Scorponok’s Venom Charges, Scorponok’s hidden robotic enhancements enable him to Repair.

When Struck:

Fueled by Scorponok’s Venom Charges, Scorponok’s hidden robotic enhancements enable him to passively Repair 30~ 65% of the damage taken from non-Special Attacks.
SPECIAL ATTACKS:
Special 1 – Daze and Destroy

The Cyber Bee’s toxin viciously attacks the enemy’s neural pathways.

Scorponok’s robotic bee Dazes the opponent, causing their Basic Ranged Attacks to Miss 60% of the time and Ranged Special Attacks to Miss 100% of the time for 7~ 9 seconds.
Special 2 – Tunneling Terror

Scorponok is adept at forcing the element of surprise.

Converts each Venom Charge into a 12 second Backfire Debuff on the opponent.
Special 3 – Predacon Persecution

There is no stopping the primal calamity that is Scorponok.

Scorponok’s robotic bee Dazes the opponent, causing their Basic Ranged Attacks to Miss 60% of the time and Ranged Special Attacks to Miss 100% of the time for 16~ 24 seconds.

SYNERGY BONUSES:
Mutual – Allies – Waspinator

+2~8% Armor
Mutual – Enemies – Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Cheetor, Dinobot

+2~8% Attack Rating
Mutual – Weaponsmith – Hound, Ramjet

+4~15% chance for Heavy Attacks to be a Critical Hit.

STRONG MATCH-UPS:
Megatronus

The Fallen will be unable to land the first hit of his Special Attacks, making his wrath considerably easier to avoid.
Prowl

Prowl’s shotgun is much less threatening while he is Dazed and confused.

WEAK MATCH-UPS:
Grimlock

With very few Ranged Special Attacks and the ability to Purify Bleeds, this Predacon will fear a different kind of Dinobot.
Shockwave

Shockwave’s ability to Heal Block will put a stop to Scorponok’s Regenerative capabilities.

RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR SCORPONOK:
Repair Module

This Mod will allow Scorponok to out heal his opponent’s damage output.
Transwarp Cell

This mode will encourage the slippery Scorpion to assault his hapless opponents with frequent, hard to dodge, heavy attacks.

Chromia and more revealed for the Official Transformers Trading Card Game

#Sideways# wrote:Chromia is -- oddly -- the leader of the FemmeCycle archetype and the last femme we're going to be seeing from the game until next wave. She, unsurprisingly, is a Motorcycle Specialist, which is slightly unnerving given that we don't have much in the ways of exclusive Specialist support or Motorcycle support, but one great part about her innate abilities is that she is a Leader, which means she can take advantage of the Matrix of Leadership. Any deck where you can play that card to its fullest potential doesn't just have my attention -- it has my curiosity.

She has some interesting abilities, chief of which is the ability to return white-pipped cards from your discard pile to your hand. You can use this to find Actions you have already played or even better, return used Force Fields from the discard pile to play. This alone makes her formidable and a necessity to the fragile Motorcycle archetype.

Her robot mode is also great as it allows you to draw two cards more or less every time you attack with her. Despite her draw power, attacking in this mode is a risk -- she has zero defense, and if you don't have a Force Field on you already, you're going to have a bad time.

All in all, she's a good card that definitely has a place in the Motorcycle archetype. But outside of that, I wonder what other interesting combinations one might have to capitalize on her potential not just as a defensive character but as an offensive one. Perhaps, even, ironically playing her with Shockwave, constantly reusing and abusing System Reboot to deal indirect damage.

#Sideways# wrote:This card is really, really great.

I don't think you understand just how great this card is. This doesn't just transform one character like Rapid Conversion does; this transforms ALL of them. Sure, it's only from Bot to Vehicle mode and sometimes you want to keep someone in their robot mode, but either way, this card is utterly fantastic for decks like Insecticons or Motorcycles that play a large amount of characters that will all be transformed to Robot mode one by one.

But here's the kicker.

This allows you to use all of their effects at once. Most Transformers have an effect when you transform them to their vehicle mode, and this transforms EVERYONE. But to make matters even better, this is the only other card we know of that has both blue and orange pips on it -- so in other words, there's almost no downside to play this card.

Of course, not every deck wants to play this card -- but believe me when I say that most will.

Matt Smith wrote:"What would you think of an Action card that grabbed a weapon from your scrap pile then gave your character pierce 2 and Bold 1 until end of turn? How about one that bounced all of a character’s upgrades, repaired all of your characters for 1 then drew a card?! I was hoping you’d do all that and more when I designed ROLL OUT!"

#Sideways wrote:These cards are very healthy cards. They reward building decks with both blue and orange cards instead of a few rogue ideas of playing nothing but orange and white. Naturally, they have to get the exact same amount of blue and orange pips for their effect to work, which brings me to my second point.

One of these cards is strictly not good.

I know what you're thinking. "B-but Sideways, what the scrap is your problem, these function on the same principle! Are you crazy?" And you'd be right. But you'd be wrong about them being the same. Cybertonium Bow is a Weapon, whereas Shock Absorbers is an Armor.

The weapons we have seen outclass Cybertonium Bow in almost every way. Grenade Launcher adds more consistent, more powerful damage, Power Sword gives you the much better Bold effect to deal potentially more damage and frankly, milling your deck is better for you than you might think. There are more examples of better weapons, but let's be honest, you're not going to read them all.

Cybertonium Bow is inconsistent and relies on a lot of luck to pull off. It would be one thing if it just said, "count blue pips as orange pips", but it says that you have to flip the exact number of blue pips as orange pips. It doesn't even give you bold to help with this goal. Almost any other weapon is better.

But Shock Absorbers are the second best Armor we've seen, period. Nothing will dethrone Force Field as Armor King, but looking at the other Armor cards, do you notice something? They all only give +1 Armor or Tough 1. Which is why Shock Absorbers is a great Armor card -- it gives +1 Armor, but has the potential to add so much more.

If there were better armor cards, sure, then Shock Absorbers might fall into disuse, but until then, this is the second best armor we have.

Grimlock and more revealed for the Official Transformers Trading Card Game

#Sideways# wrote:Life, uh... Found a way.

So Grimlock is naturally very great for the Dinobot Archetype. You use his vehicle mode to add on to the already massive amounts of Bold given to your Dinobots through Jaws of Steel, Power Sword and Dino-Chomp! and give them Bold 13. This means you will be flipping a rough estimate of 17 cards off the top of your deck when you attack with a fully upgraded Dinobot.

These damage numbers give me diabetes.

His Robot mode is also fantastic, as he has Trample -- the ability to still use overkill damage. When you're flipping an ungodly amount of cards from the top of your deck, you're going to overkill something sometime, and this makes good use of that. Especially when your opponents have access to low HP characters, like Cars or Insecticons.

Sludge also adds to his survivability, which brings me to my second point: You can play a team of Dinobots. Grimlock is 10 points, and with Sludge at 8 and Snarl at 7, you come in with the best all-around Dinobot team at exactly 25 points. It even has draw power.

Mark my words, Dinobots will be one of the major meta-defining archetypes coming out of this first set. Even if it does require setup time.

#Sideways# wrote:This card is insane. It's an instant staple in almost every deck, except for certain decks that play only a handful of upgrades. But this is one of the few cards that, interestingly enough, give you more cards in your hand. Almost every card that draws cards ends up essentially replacing itself. Take, for instance, Inspiring Leadership.

Inspiring Leadership draws three cards and discards two from your hand. But Inspiring Leadership itself is a card that discards from your hand, leaving you at a stagnant hand size. This card can draw you a massive amount of cards, raw drawing three, four, five, or even more cards.

Enthusiast is really a great card that gets better over the course of the game. Not great at all at the start, but late in the game can really pack a punch.

#Sideways# wrote:Photon Bomb is the spicy, tattooed punk sister of Plasma Burst. Thus, I, being a fan of those, am very interested in this card. But even better, this makes playing Tall just a little more playable. If your opponent has four Characters in play, you're essentially doing eight damage without even attacking for the turn. Of course, you're taking damage too, but if you're playing Tall (two characters), you're taking minimal damage. If you, yourself, are using a Wide setup with three or more Transformers in play... Well, might want to rethink putting this card in your deck.

Another thing that this card does is allows you to set up damage on your characters for cards like Energon Axe or Swoop's ability, both of which requiring you to have damage on you already to properly use them. Naturally, this is a double-edged sword -- but what tortoise ever got anywhere without sticking its neck out first?

Scott Van Essen wrote:"Getting overrun by motorcycles? Swarmed by Insecticons? Want to blow up all the things? Photon Bomb’s the answer to so many questions you have yet to ask.

You might be surprised to see no battle icons on a card with a symmetrical effect. Believe me when I say that this notionally “fair” effect can be used in very unfair ways. To begin with, it is quite powerful in a “Go Tall” vs “Go Wide” matchup.

Photon Bomb is more subtly strong in low-armor, high-health vs. high-armor, low-health matchups, and can be situationally very impactful when you use it to unexpectedly KO one (or more!!) of your opponent’s heavily damaged characters.

Photon Bomb is the kind of card that designers love. It’s exciting to read, you know immediately what it does, and it has a major impact on the board. Yet, as you play with it, you discover depths of nuance and strategy that are not initially apparent."

Weak Match-ups:

Drift: Autobot Jazz likes to Evade, he lives to Evade a lot. Drift’s focus prevents Evasion, a lot of Evasion.
Ramjet: Autobot Jazz enjoys seeing his opponents Stunned, but Ramjet can ignore Stuns while he has a lot of Momentum.

Strong Match-ups:

Shockwave – Shockwave would find this matchup to be illogical as his Shock charges will be quickly consumed by this voracious Insecticon.
Megatron (Revenge of the Fallen) – Once Megatron has been infected with T-Clog his proclivity to fire off Heavy Attacks while enraged could leave him Stunned and vulnerable.

Weak Match-ups:

Hound (The Last Knight) – Hound’s ability to inflict Critical Rate Down with his Special Attack 1 will leave Kickback unable to inflict Power Leak with his basic hits.
Optimus Primal – Primal will completely negate Critical Hits, disabling much of Kickback’s ability set that revolves around Critical Hits.

Recommended Modules for Kickback:

Scout’s Sentry – Increasing Kickback’s Critical Rate and ability to Evade will ultimately help him survive while dishing out those potent Critical Hits.
Transwarp Cell – Ensuring Kickback routinely slams into his opponent with Heavy Attacks will allow him to take great advantage of his Consume and Signature abilities.

Weak Match-ups:

Bonecrusher – The master of Bleeds will punish Bumblebee with every crit.

Recommended Modules for Bumblebee:

Nightbird’s Mark – With both his two major abilities boosted, Bumblebee will become exponentially more powerful.
EMI Module – Bee will gain the ability to Evade Ranged Attacks, forcing you to stay within Melee Range and in turn allowing him to generate power with his Signature Ability.

Hey there!

 I hope this email finds you in great shape.

 Here’s a digested version of what happened these last days in Transformers: Earth Wars. If you need assets for your posts, please click here. Feel free to use any of them!

 As promised, the ‘Unleashing the Beasts’ series continued! The 3 last episodes, “The Art: Bringing the Combiners to Life”, “The Story with Simon Furman” and “The Toy: How it all began” are live on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. Don’t miss out and follow our social channels for more!

 We “pressed the button” this Tuesday - Volcanicus and Predaking are now available in-game! Also, if you don’t have the bots to combine them yet, you can play them for free in the Challenge Battle. You can access this feature via the newsfeed section.

 Last weekend’s event was called ‘Stolen Secrets’, the start of the new ‘Volcanicus vs Predaking’ saga! It starred the leader of the Dinobots, Grimlock, and the leader of the Predacons, Razorclaw. Will the Dinobots be able to withstand the vicious pounce of the Predacons? Stay tuned as the saga continues this Friday!
