Techbot Alpha

Not to be ha-
No, actually. I'll be blunt.
Cry some moar. That giant maintenance we had on Thursday? Smack bang in the middle of EU prime time, and lasted until after midnight for us over here. That is a bad downtime.

Sympathy: You get none

/Signed. I kinda like the New UI actually (Makes life a lot easier for my empath with huge health bars, heh), but having Classic not BE Classic is...kinda...wtf? XD

/Signed for removing the crash
When I get my Fire/Fire/Fire blaster to 50 (a ways off yet) why would I bother keeping Inferno when I can use Pyronic V.Rare combined with Musculature V.Rare? Sure, it might not throw out nearly 2k worth of damage, but;
1) No End Crash
2) No PbAoE, so less likely to die
3) Way faster timer
4) Still excellent damage

Really, Nukes and Snipes both are in need of some love right about now.

The Sergeant moved to cuff the Outsider and Wanderer. To his credit, he didn't 'slap the cuffs on', which tended to chafe and be a little uncomfortable, isntead putting them on quickly, quietly and professionally.

It did also mean he was caught in the same pit-trap as them and the Detective.
"Damnit! Take them down!" he shouted up "We've got a mage in there! Dispatch, suspects are making a getaway! Captain, we could use that support, asap!"

"Not to worry, Sergeant. We have some heavy hitters en route, over."

Up above, the jumpier officers opened fire, the others quickly following suit, although they were doing little more than shooting at a wall by now.

She has ribs around her neck. It's wierd Oo and yeah, her face looks off from the front for some reason.

"Aww, hell," the Sergeant growled, thumbing his radio, "Captain, the suspects are moving to evade detainment!"

"Then arrest them! All units in the area, get in there and stop them! Pronto! Backup is standing by, over!"

"Right," the Sergeant acknolwedged, nodding to the men around him. Despite a few worried and borderline scared expressions, they all raised their weapons and sidearms. "You lot!" he roared at those of the group still out in the open, "Hold it right there!"

"Yeah, this is looking bad," Silver muttered, backing up fast to bring himself level with Mirel. "We are outta here!" The Autobots engine roared, slamming straight up to top gear as soon as Mirel and any others that there were room for were aboard.

Yeah, some of the NPC designs (mostly the old ones) are starting to look really lax in the face of the Praetorian NPCs and all their shinies.

I'm hoping that David's Art threads eventually bear fruit and we get to see mobs get an overhaul. But, eh, we'll see.

While I still hate Lambdas boss-clogged guts, BAF is quite fun now. While we sometimes struggle with one stage or other (prisoners if people let the LTs run, Finale if Siege's 9CUs get outta hand) it's also one that I've seen completed a good few times, the only losses being due to mis-timing a kill, and because the Prisoners spawn points bugged out and they came out the back of buildings.

So, BAF>Lambdurr

"THIS is MY world! YOU are NOT welcome in MY world!"

*BBBBBBBZZZZZAAAAAAAAACCCCKKK!!*

I am the Alpha, with lightning at my fingertips

The Sergeant glowered slightly. Even given the situation, he wasn't used to taking backtalk from a Detective.
"I'll take that under consideration, Mulligan," he said curtly, motioning a few squadies forward with handcuffs, "But you don't see the Statesman or anyone turning folks to pulp just because they can. That's why theres laws."

Silver, being in vehicle mode, obviously had no face on which to hang an expression. But his voices tone did a good job of conveying 'raised eyebrow'.
"Well...up to you guys. What d'ya reckon?"

A squad sergeant moved up, handgun lowered but still clearly ready.
"You even listening to your radio, Mulligan?" he muttered, tapping his own strapped to his flak vest.

"This is Captain Belle, to all units in Kings Row. I repeat, those at the killing scene are to be considered armed and dangerous. They are to be detained, asap," came the message again, over the radio.

"And, frankly, I ain't arguing," the sergeant added, nodding to the others, some of whom had lowered their guns and who now raised them again. "You lot, stay right where you are. I'd advise you don't make any more trouble. I really don't want to have to call SWAT and armour units in here."

From his expression, it was clear he was telling the truth, on multiple fronts. Mostly because the cops here would be no match for the group, but for most that wasn't going to stop them doing their duty.
SWAT and armour, on the other hand, could cause some damage. And some serious mess if the fight, should it come to that, got out of hand.

Grats to the winners, and I personally would love to see the PPD advert in game as well. VERY nicely pulled off, and looks like it would fit perfectly.
All good stuff

Atlas Park, PPD Precint

The Captain leaned back in his chair, watching the feed for the events in Kings Row.
Technically, it wasn't his beat, but...

The silver robot, shifting into a car.
The symbol on the side.
He grinned, before tapping the button on his Police Scanner.

"This is Captain Ron Belle to all units at the Kings Row killing scene. Be advised, subjects are extremely dangerous, I repeat, extremely dangerous. Advise taking them all into max-sec custody, over."

At the scene, a number of cops glanced at their scanners, exchanging glances while a number of them pulled out their sidearms and, in a few cases, heavier weapons from the trunks of the PPD cars.

Silver flashed Mirel a grin in return, before bringing his legs up and flipping himself upright in one slick motion, his landing causing the ground to shudder slightly as his feet hit the ground again. With a whir and a few clicks his morph-cannon shifted back to hand and a half mode, before being holstered behind one of his thigh plates, the compartment sliding back as to be near invisible.

"Well, anyone who wants a ride, hop in," he offered, machinery giving off the same distinctive sound as he transformed back to vehicle mode, the cars four doors popping open at the same time.

All the redside ones have been better so far. Yet to check blueside.
