Arcee and Airachnid: Details and descriptions

[Baconizer]

I think the pictures can speak for themselves.

And here’s her squad entry. Did Rovio just drop a hint about Nemesis Prime?

Here’s Arcee:

What I want to know is why she’s named “Airachnid”.

Does she actually fly in the air? Seems implausible given that her vehicle mode is a motorcycle (although I recall the motorcycles in Galactica 1980 being able to fly as well, lol).

[SoloAz]

Wow, that is crazy. So it’s a luck of the draw thing (gift box)? I hope that’s not the only way to add her. :-/

@soloaz

On the mission selection screen it’ll tell you what the potential rewards are.

So if it shows an Arcee in one of the five reward slots, then you have a 1 in 5 chance of unlocking her if you complete the mission with 1 key, a 2 in 5 chance if you have 2 keys and so on.

So the trick is to earn enough keys to ensure that you’ll you’ll be able to unlock the Arcee.

Also, you can spend gems if you don’t have enough keys to open them all – any gift boxes that remain unopened can then be opened for a specific gem cost (I forget how much, but it’s something like 30 gems a box – I’ve never tried).

@optimuspig

Ohhhh … duh, that makes a ton of sense. Thanks for ‘splaining!

[Optimus_Pig]

@soloaz

No problem, I’ve spent a lot of time staring at the missions trying to figure out ways to optimize how to do them!

@korath88 I have Arcee. I hope you don’t mind me editing your topic by adding my pics of Arcee.

[Baconizer]

@mighty-red-1 Thanks! No problem at all.

Changed the title to better suit the topic.

@optimuspig I don’t understand her name either. She’s a motorcycle so she can’t fly and she doesn’t look anything like a spider (Arachnid) so I don’t get it.

[Optimus_Pig]

I was just re-reading Airachnid’s description in the screenshots above, and does anyone understand the reference to “Nemesis Prime”?

I know who he is from the TF toys/comics, but I don’t think I’ve seen any reference to Nemesis Prime in this game.

[EpicPlayah]

They dropped a hint on Nemesis Prime?
Oooooh yes.
I have always wanted Nemesis Prime in Angry Birds TF.
No, that is not sarcasm.

[Jasonred79]

Nemesis prime… Was created by the eggbots? … This is canon, yup yup yup!

[Optimus_Pig]

The Transformers exist in many divergent timelines and alternate realities.

Canonicity is just a matter of perspective.

[Jasonred79]

Wait, this isn’t mainstream TF universe??? So, we’re not going to be seeing chuck or red appearing in the transformers movies or cartoons??? ;)

Is it only me, or why is Airachnid an Autobird in my game?

Airachnid is an Autobird on my iPhone and my sons Andriod tablet

“Is it only me, or why is Airachnid an Autobird in my game?”

It’s discussed here:

Airachnid using deceptihog items for upgrade?

Rovio is looking into it, but not really high on their priority list given the other major bugs in the game.

[Sumit Arora]

Till Level 10 Arcee fires 3 bubbles in a straight line but at Level 11 she fires 5 bubbles in a straight line!!

[Optimus_Pig]

@sumitarora15

Yeah, I just noticed that as well!

Still kind of an annoying weapon though :P

[Mighty Red]

@sumitarora15 Great. Coincidentally I’ll start upgrading Arcee to level 11 very soon. I assume that the same goes for Airachnid – I saw a video in which she shoots spreads of 5 bubbles.

[Anonymous]

@sumitarora15 Cool the first bots where their weapon actually changes at high levels. After all my bots are 10 I’m definitely upgrading Arcee and Airacnid to lvl 11 first.

[Optimus_Pig]

@mighty-red-1

“I assume that the same goes for Airachnid – I saw a video in which she shoots spreads of 5 bubbles.”

My L11 Airachnid only shoots bubbles in groups of three. Weird.

[Anonymous]

@optimuspig Maybe it’s not lvl 11 that she gets a weapon buff? Who know maybe other bots get a weapon buff at higher levels too.
