 		Ok, It doesn't matter if you win or lose against Malestrom...It only matters how much damage you do. After 10 battles with my lvl 7 (should be 8, but the stupid counter went to 0-0) HHR I notice the generals health always drops ~1%. i don't know if i'm the only higher level doing damage during that time, but I do around 3000(no crits) to 5000(all crits) per battle. I have never won with my HHR, but my impala, lvl 1 has beaten him 3 times, but his health didn't drop at all after my 10 battles (I know i'm not hte only one playing at that time) and I only get around 1200 max per battle with the impala.

SO, just do as much damage as possible. You will lose, it doesn't matter, the only way to win to to dodge the attacks (wich means your probably an aveo or impala).

Also I think if we get the last "master" code, we will unlock our final upgrades, which will give us another special move to do more damage. (just my idea tho)

That is probably the only way to win against Malstrom. However, I don't think the health bar is dependant on how many people win against malstrom, just the amount of damage that was done to him. To to max out the damage you need to atack in this order:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Legs, arms, Head, Torso, Weapons


Also i think once we solve the code of the code solutions (I KNEW it was a code becasue it didn't seem like a logical posting order...) We will get our new upgrades and the Move at the bottom of your upgrade screen (Sonic Boom for my HHR) will be his "weakness" and we can knock him down faster. (I hope)


I just solved the code and its just a message telling you to attack legs arms head.

The short of it is that with intuition you figured out the point of the message without knowing it.

EDIT: heres the pic of how I solved it incase anyone is interested, http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b370/BigMtheMaster/codesolved.jpg

 		Wow, nice work RAM ... but I think you might get some more results if you change line 17 and 18 to T and R to get Cybertron as a keyword.

I would do it but I can't follow your logic on the picture... but I could just be too tired.

... Just saw what you did... WoW, must have alot of dead brain cells from working all weekend....

Including the Hex instructions the message looks like this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

{Start Txt} {Inquiry} IdentifyHostSystem {EndTxt} {End Trans}
{StartTxt} {Acknowledge} Mainframe {EndTxt} {End Trans}
{StartTxt} {Inquiry} {ESC} {EndTxt} {End Trans}
{StartTxt} {Negative Acknowlege} {EndTxt} {End Trans}
{StartTxt} {Inquiry} {Substitute} {ESC} {EndTxt} {End Trans}
{StartTxt} {Acknowledge} WeaknessfollowpatternLegsArmHead {EndTxt} {End Trans}


However, what bothers me is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The words in the second column: Hex I understand, but the other words like "alphaspark" and "cybericon" I can't find in any transformers cannon. AND the words ICON CTRL, make me think that we have to do something on a website with the ctrl key, any thoughts?

 		Actually I was away all weekend at a wrestling camp and didn't get back to work on the code until a few hours before my post. Dead braincells are from hitting my head on the mat too hard.

Enough bragging, I was wandering about the other words also, the "hex" was the only one that really caught my attention and led to me finding the message. But maybe theres a meaning to the other words besides taking up space that will lead to an actual code that someone can enter.

I'll keep messing with the spreadsheet to see if I can think of anything and hopefully if I can't someone else can use the picture of it to figure it out.

 		Ctrl-click an icon?
I tried ctrl-clicking all the icons, but I couldn't find anything that acted differently than with a regular click...

 		Tried that too....

is it just me or is the General stuck at 14%?

AND my ranking is going down as I lose to the Gen. (doubt I'll fall 1800 places, but still >.<)

AND I'd wish they'd fix the 0-0 battle record bug, If I could level up I could do more damage to the general.

AND I want my movie tix!

(I'm just demanding today)

the game was entertaining, but buggy

If you're worried about ranking, change to an Impala - use Evade boost on your Torso for first round and then Arms/Head/Torso/Weapons for attacks - you'll win every time.

 		No change?!?
Maelstrom has been at the same 14% for several days now! He used to drop 1% across a series of ten battles!

Well they just fixed the battle record and ranking so I hope that the general's health will be dropping soon!

 		I didn't want that kind of change!
Maelstrom is now rank 8, Bot-At-Arms, and he deals a LOT more damage than before! He can take me, a level 7, out with a single blow if he lands it!

And his damage hasn't dropped any more yet!

 		Battle results
Our battles with Maelstrom count in our ranking now. I'm dropping fast... Was 5xx, now almost 700...

At least he doesn't usually take me out with a single blow to the torso, but it's more embarrassing when he blows away my arms, legs, and weapons first...

(At least I can land a few laser shots as he blows away my arms and legs...)

 		Level 10?!?
Maestrom is now a Warhorse, Level 10?!?

Maybe that means he's going down, getting hardest at the end, but he KOs me with a single blow more often. I don't usually get all five blows in anymore. And I'm a Aveo with good reflexes.

 		Good combo that helps ranking
Pelgarotron on Seibertron found this combo that works well. Not as much damage as what I was doing, but this way I don't get destroyed.
Change to an Impala, and use this sequence:
Evade Booster - Torso
Car Katana - Arms
Pulse Gun - Head
Laser - Torso
Laser - Weapons
I tend to do about 2000 damage now, sometimes more than 3500. Not as much as the 5000 I did before using Transtar's combo, but with the smack Maelstrom can lay now, I wasn't getting that anyway.
(I tried using the first four of the original five targets, and while I still avoided taking damage, the damage I dealt was a lot lower.)
