anyone else think that the autobots are a little disapointing in
S1 with the exception of super optimus and some 10 pt troopers
to me they didn't live up to what they could have been.

They're only a little disappointing if you require strikers.
Both Gold Optimus and Optimus Truck--> Robot are pretty good.
Overhaul is amazing, close to what Grievous is.
Omnicon and Mini-Con are two of the best 10pt shooters there are.
Landmine is underrated. He's pretty tough to kill, and shootback times three even if it is just Mini-Cons isn't anything to sneeze at.
Depending on house rules, Skyblast is amazing. The jet mode is fairly bulletproof, and if you play where a figure transforms where it stands, transforming into the robot is fantastic.
The Autobots fall a little short due to their lack of strikers, but they have good figures.

I've tried various Autobot armies versus various Decepticon armies, and the Autobots almost always win. It helps if Prime is in the mix, of course.

Autobots seem to win every game except for those that involve 100pt teams with 4 Battle Ravage.

Prime is, I think the only 40 pt. fig that really turns the tide of battles all alone, he's just a beast and nobody, but nobody without a light saber can nock him down, if he's playing the auto's should win.

Battle Ravage kills Optimus Prime dead. Still, he's more bulletproof than anything in attacktix, and his shot has at least the range of a force blast, and much more power behind it. Well worth 40pts. |

Megatron is almost as bulletproof as Prime, but I found him to end up alone on the field a lot more often than Prime did, and even Omnicons can take out Megatron if there's enough of them left.

I did a lot of practice shooting with General Grievous last night in preparation for today's tournament. I was able to take OP down regularly with a Grievous blast between the blue windows on his chest. Another guy OP should fear is Scorponok. That guy is a striking BEAST! |

Anything other than a small missile can kill Super Optimus Prime under the right circumstances. I've killed Super Optimus Prime with a frontal chest shot to the windows with Starscream, S4 Han and S4 Greedo among medium missiles(5 to 10 tix). I've done it with Megatron, Excellion, Overhaul, and other Optimus Primes with TF Energy Blasts(5-15+ tix, I think I've done it a bit farther, but my memory is a little foggy). I've even killed Super Optimus Prime with a frontal shot from Dirtboss(5 tix, once). I assume you could do it with a force blast, though I haven't tried. You need to get close to do it, but a good shot will work.
Grievous, alone among any figures, can kill Super Optimus Prime while both figures are on the starting lines. I can say that because I've done it. Anyone else has to get a whole lot closer.
