On Protector, Badge often arranges "robot rampages" - where we gather as many Kronos, Babbages and Palidins together as we can. Last time, we found the paly's had been ganked or removed somehow, but we still had a rollicking good time with our HVAS and other summoned bots to fight for us.

So, me and my two friends play a trio of toons together all the time and we try to all have the same missions/arcs from the same contact if possible. Well, just last night we were doing the "World Wide Red" arc from Crimson. Out of a desire to not ruin the story for anyone: *SPOILER ALERT!!* . Anyways, we all completed the "Stop all Wildflower Agents" mission and, of course, simul-competed it. Now, we've been playing for a while and so we knew that there was going to be a very angry, very large Kronos Class Titan looking to turn us into some form of Hero puree.
Well, things were working out at first, announced in badge channel and broadcast for help with the monstrosity when, to our only slight surprise, a second Kronos Class Titan showed up also desiring to do us bodily harm.
All in all, it didn't go too badly once we had enough people. I unfortunately didn't have the presence of mind at the time to grab more screenshots of the exploits. However, I did find two things quite curious. First, since we completed the mission 3 times simultaneously, shouldn't we have had three Kronos Titans? It makes me wonder if the third one got lost on the way and started ravaging Talos Island or Atlas Park in a vain search for its intended targets. If anyone knows, is there a limiter to the number of Kronos Titans (or GMs in general) that can be spawned in a zone? Secondly, I think they need *SPOILER ALERT* (this is a different arc that I'm spoiling, so be forewarned) more brains in the Kronos Titan than they do, because as soon as I was no longer in melee with the beasts they didn't pursue me and they stopped using Footstomp, leaving the area around them free game. Also, they stopped using missiles because I gather the AI has a minimum range at which it uses them. So, the end result was each of them occasionally shooting a plasma blast at me, and that was it. I was kinda disappointed, I was looking forward to seeing how I fared against three (if the third had spawned) GMs at full throttle.
Anyway, just felt like sharing. Have a nice day.
