The Primes (and Metalhawk) locate the Requiem Blaster, and learn some concerning information about its current wielder.
Synopsis
[edit]The Autobots' two Star Sabers "communicate" with each other despite their differing dimensional origins. They tell Optimus Prime and Metalhawk where the Requiem Blaster is located: in their dimension, in someone else's hands, but not those of the Entity. However, they do not know who. Alpha Trion tells them to leave without him, as he intends to continue attempting to use Vector Sigma to contact Vector Prime. As the three Primes and their Star Saber-wielding alternate-universe equivalent depart from their base, Rodimus ponders who may possess the Requeim Blaster, which prompts Metalhawk to come to a realization: it's his longtime rival, Bomb-Burst!

Gameplay
[edit]This event was an individual totaliser on the Mayhem gamemode, meaning players unlocked points on their own as opposed to with their Alliance. As a Mayhem event, each battle was still won by destroying the HQ, but instead of the rest of the buildings and defenses being destroyed upon them doing so, they could continuing destroying the remaining structures until the 3-minute timer is up to gain additional points. The one caveat is that these bases cost a whopping 15 fuel cells to raid, compared to alternative, easier (but lower-rewarding) 5-fuel-cell-worth bases in the same zones.
This event was also labelled as a "Legacy" event, with the top prize being the 5-star version of a then newly-reworked bot, in this case, Trailbreaker or Exhaust (depending on your faction).
Notes
[edit]Continuity notes
[edit]- Laser Optimus makes bemoans Metalhawk's use of vague language when initially referring to Bomb-Burst, as they've already spent the past two sagas (and this one) dealing with the vaguely-named Entity.
Transformers references
[edit]Real-world references
[edit]- Laser Optimus says the words, "All for one, etcetera," referencing the famous quote from The Three Musketeers.
Errors
[edit]- This event's story dialogue was labeled "When Realms Collide [Part 1 of 2]" in-game, seemingly indicating it was originally composed as the first half of last week's event and the stretching out of story content continues.
