Crystal (Earth Wars)

Quantum Crystals are minerals from the Earth Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family

Quantum Crystals are in-game items that provide more characters and may tempt you to spend precious Cybercoins or real money. rare minerals required to power up the Space Bridge and bring more Autobots and Deceptions to battle on Earth.

If the crystal locks on to the coordinates of a certain bot, there are higher chances of the bot appearing through the space bridge. It is possible for the Space bridge to Glitch out and create an amalgamation/hologram of a pre-existing bot. this causes them to either dissipate and turn into Spark and Energon, along with a set number of shards that be used create crystals for higher rating bots, or the amalgamation will become an existing duplicate of the bot that exists, just at a higher skill level.

But more often than not, resources come through instead of bots. These prizes vary from Sparks used in Research to battle boosters that can aid on the battlefield. Rarer crystals may also give Energon or crystal shards.

Many varieties of crystals can be found over Earth. Naturally-generating purple Free Crystals can be collected periodically. Other crystals can be gathered for only a short period of time, and have better chances of obtaining better resources or new bots. Other Crystals have been refined to bring only bots through the Space Bridge. Three grades of Character Crystals can be constructed with shards collected from various sources. Premium Crystals are particularly rare and are mostly bought at a price, but spend a little more and you can get a character crystal with a slight chance of obtaining that bot, but not always guaranteed. But there are guaranteed character crystals for one specific bot, and only the most diligent and big real-money spenders can ever hope of obtaining these rarest crystals.

Notes

• They were called Quantum Crystals in very early beta versions of the game, but now they're simply called crystals.
