Lockjaw ... now, that's useful ...

[Noman]

Just went over to the Wizkids site and looked at the new Lockjaw double base figure. It has phasing, 12 move, can carry a passanger, has (if I remember rightly) 7 clix of life, and, (this is the Rookie version) costs 24 pts !!!

So, move grounded character forward it's full move. TK Lockjaw next to that character. Lockjaw then picks them up, carries them, and phases 12. He is now 23 squares into the map, with the character of your choice, and both of them can push next turn...

Who is the most obvious "new best friend" to partner Lockjaw in the "hit on turn 2" manauver ?

LoL

RATS !

Lockjaw can't be TK'd - as double base characters can't be TK'd...

Even so, I think a 24 pt taxi with 12 move and phasing virtualy right across his dial is pretty useful...

Can't TK Lockjaw.

Best friend? A charge/running shot character. Lockjaw bases enemy and drops charger behing him, next turn charger does his thing.

with double move he can move 24 sq but not phase 24 sq .... ;)

i wouldnt play it that way ...

yes you have a first strike option .... BUT you are also leaving two figs very vulnerable. ... now if all your force was in striking position and you did that as a bait type thing my perfect candidate would be dagger/jinx/mordru/despero someone that can be put in hindering and can be a distraction and very deady ....:laugh: :laugh:

Taxi for Nebula...

Or just give him the feat double time, which allows any transporter or a character with a boot speed symbol to move ( no attack ) double their movement.
Easy way to get a V Ulik or some other heavy hitter into battle.

Those transport rules are alittle confusing. Can you use a flying figure to carry a transporter? If so then Doom all the way. If not, Brother Blood all the way!

they are not confusing just read again the article completly ...
somewhere it says about figuras that can carry a figuras can't be carried

[deathsythe]

Transports cannot carry transports. I think everyone is confused because Wizkids kept the rules very simple, people were expecting some crazy and difficult rules to come out of this and it didn't happen. I love the idea and cannot wait to see the rest of the characters.

[Noman]

I wonder if the Mv will increase on the Exp and the Vet ?

I think the Nebula idea is a good one,although Umar also looks a viable character, as is Xorn (mobile medic !) and certainly activation-click characters, like Hulk, Sasquatch Exp, etc...

Transporters cannot be carried, or tk, nor can they carry a flier or another transporter.
