REVIEWED BY CRAMCOMPANY

Today we'll be reviewing Invincible from The Invincible Collectors Set

If there is a new transporter you PAY ATTENTION TO THAT CLICK.  Even if it’s a girl riding a unicorn or a dog with a tuning fork on his head or a knight riding a mechanical bull…. or a robot riding a hover bike.

 Wow, there have been a lot of dumb looking transporters.

No offense Lockjaw, I still love and need you.

Experienced: 92 points, Guardians of the Globe Team

MOVEMENT:  He is a Transporter, which means he has Hypersonic speed.  He gets minus 2 from his attack value and he can not make a Hyper Sonic Speed attack if he is adjacent to an opposing character.  Other then those drawbacks he has Hyper Sonic Speed. He also can not be knocked back and he can carry somebody.

Running Shot is not too bad, because if you’re close enough (within 9 squares) you can make that attack with out lowering your attack values.  It’s nice to have those options.    Watch out for Earthbound at the end because it not only means he’s not a flyer,  but it means he’s also a not a Transporter.

ATTACK: WOW, 9 is his lowest attack value.

DEFENSE:  17 with Toughness is nice at the beginning.  16 with energy shield mean he’s very hard to hit.  Later the Combat Reflexes and high attack makes him dangerous, but remember anybody can make a ranger attack on a flyer so do not count on Combat Reflexes to save your bacon.

DAMAGE:  Perplex, then Outwit, then Ranged Combat Expert (Great on a Flyer) and finishing with Perplex.  Robot is half MAN and half AMAZING!  Well, actually I guess he is all Robot.. but he’s a good click.

SCULPT:  Maybe he should have been riding a vacuum or something else to put him in line with all the ridiculous looking transporters.

FEATS:  Nanobots is so house on him it makes me want to cry.  Incontact, Protected and if you have too many points) Heightened Reflexes will make him even better.  Do not use Brilliant Tactician, because that card is terrible.

OVERALL: 

       Hyper Sonic Speed, Perplex and a high attack is great.

       Perplex, Outwit and being able to carry a figure make him a perfect example of great secondary attacker.

       Easy to Nanobots with

       4 range is pretty funny, but will come in handy

       His dial is a little short

       Really impressive attack all the way down the dial

       The best reason to buy the Invincible Collectors Set

       Very Under-costed

       I do wish he had Outwit on his opening click

       Guardians of the Globe is a decent team ability.

       For those of you who do not know that that ability is; (If doubles are rolled in a successful attack, that attack ALSO does Incapacitate, if Incap is possible.  Basically it is Stunning Blow if you roll doubles and hit.)

       But there is also going to be a feat card that can change this team ability, but we do not know what it will do.  It might make him amazing.

ealHeal

Robot is the figure, he has some much that he can do he might be a big target for your opponent.  He’s such perfect support that I expect to see him at many tournament.  He is also easily push-able and seems to only get better, then you can just Nanobots.  A truly competitive player will probably be able to use Outwit and then heal and use Perplex or use Perplex then push to Outwit something.  He’s a little like Ambush Bug… if Ambush Bug was really good not a waste of points.

HE RECEIVES 5 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 5 THUMBS UP!

Good, Bad, I’m the Guy with the Clix

Today's review is Robot from Invincible

 I did look up the stuff on Invincible, but of course, Whoclix gives the better back story.

He is a Collector Set Veteran, a Transporter, 92 Points, 4 range 1 target, 6 clicks of life, and a Guardian of the Globe

Speed: 10,9,9,8,8,7   Running Shot for one, Earthbound last two

Attack:  10,9,9,9,10,9    No Powers

Defense:   17,16,15,14,14,14   Toughness for one, ESD for three, Combat Reflexes for two

Damage:  2,2,2,2,2,1   Perplex for one, outwit for two, RCE for one, perplex for two

The Good:  I loves me the transporter ability

      High, consistent attack values

      GG ability can come in handy…if your lucky

      Perplex and Outwit always helps

The Bad:   4 range with transporter is stupid

     Shallow Dial and won’t stay around long

     Low damage for points

     Should have started with outwit

Feats:   Eh…ICWO and Protected,  Nanobots works great….that’s all

Overall:    Normally I love all the transporters (except LE cannonball), even Moonstar has come in handy, but Robot does not sit well with me.  I like the consistent attack values, but the lack of damage, the shallow dial, and the 4 range for a ranged piece really does not sit well.  The combat reflexes seems like wasted points because you always use transporters with range to hit and run.  Even the running shot doesn’t help that much because then you are only hitting a guy 9 spaces away.  I like the fact he can still hit back once he is hit, but with his low damage it won’t be for much.  He needs too much help to really be useful and will never see play outside of friendly games or theme teams.  My advice: put him in your tackle boxes and use Hawkeye.

Constructed/Unrestricted:  1.5 / 5

Sealed/Draft:  N/A / 5

Overall:  1.5 / 5
