Purchase the Changerbots Faction on Forgefire!
Quite a lot more than your eyes first perceive! The Changerbots hail from another world, but secretly move about ours in the form of everyday transportation. They change their form and abilities to fight a neverending battle against their enemies, and protect the human race from their robotic shenanigans. They are also the subject of at least three separate sets of movies, apparently - some of which are even good!
Changerbots are from the Cease and Desist set and have a Titan card - Mergacon.
Complexity Level: LOW
Mechanics
- Changing Between Sets Of Stats And/Or Abilities With Talents
- Moving Between Bases
- Augmenting Minions With Actions
Changerbots specialize in minions with talents to switch between different status, either getting a high power boost, or getting a low power but with additional abilities, mainly movement, but also indestructibility, extra action plays, etc. They can also add additional talents to their minions for even more versatility. Take note that using their talents usually come with a side effect, such as lowering the minion's power or losing its other abilities. So be mindful of the order in which you activate their talents; while a minion with several talents can use each talent once on your turn, some talents prevent you from using that minion's remaining abilities.
