Speculation: X-force ATA?

[brojase]

I had a thought on the X-force ATA...lots of people were thinking it would be a stealth-granting ATA (which it could still be)...but the figures all have front-loaded stealth.

I was thinking, what if the TA gave them leap/climb? It would be character accurate, IIRC none of them have leap/climb, and that increased mobility would seem to fit a black-ops group. I think it would definitely make the stealthy 0 rangers more competitive.

Thoughts? Forgive me if this has already been discussed, I've been too busy hanging out with the new WoS dials (drools on keyboard)

[WhoaDirty]

A L/C type ability, an ignore hindering terrain on movement ability, or possibly some kind of move and attack ability.

[TheVagrantKing]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was an Ultimates TA. The reasoning is pretty much the same.

[cattmoe]

Man I hope so. That would be awesome.

[PsychoDan]

I like the idea of the Leap/climb TA for X-force

[Adamo]

Sorry, what about if the ata will be a sort of Bloody rage? When they KO someone all of them can be healed of one click. This could be funny

[Perplexinator]

X-Force is all about unknown operations on key targets. I definitely could see a Batman Ally-esque ability. Too bad League of Assassins is pretty much what I'd think X-Force should be.

Maybe it will be League of Assassins for Marvel since Thunderbolts can't thunderbolt LoA or Batman Ally.

I think that a "deep shadows" style ATA could be very cool with them and will have a lot of sinergy, something like: A character with the X-Force keyword is considered to be always on hindering terrain for line of fire purposes. This keeps the black ops style of the team and synergies very well with all the starting stealth without range.

The only thing that makes me suspect that maybe there wouldn't be an X-force ATA is that the four of them makes 300 points exactly, but on the other hand, there is a good number of the team to be out on a possible x-men set yet (and deadpool has the keyword too wich makes more sense now that he is going to be on the new roster).

im afraid its going to be like 2000ad or ultimate x-men

I don't think it's going to be like ultimate x-men, x-23 already has a trait that works similar but with a +2, so I think they aren't going to duplicate it.

[Kingofdreams]

I'd like to think it will be some kind of move and attack seeing as none of the figures start with charge, something like "when a character using this TA is using stealth and occupying hindering terrain they can use charge"
It would limit most of the charges to a couple of squares and be a nice way of representing the teams ambush tactics.

[RedDragon]

so we are getting some ATA's and feats when the set comes out next month? i but my money on a runaways type ATA. each successful attack add a +1 to the others attack value.

[larthosgrr8]

that would make them even more awesome then they already are. i'd never play it because i think them all having x-men is just nasty. wolverine with them makes them just sick. wait till shatterstar teams up with them.

So why not play the potential ATA? It's not like you lose the X-Men TA anymore.

For me I have not idea what it would be.........well that's not true I have ideas, I'm just not feeling any of them is the 'right one'.

- I like the Leap climb idea
- I like the mini charge idea or something along those lines
- I like Algrims's custom ATA ideas, specifically the one that was similar to Invisible Womans's 'can't be see past 6 range'
- I also like the healing after KOing

Just don't know. :confused:

Although I will say that the 4 X-Force members being 300 even and the Dark Avengers(IP-150, Daken-63, LE Venom-70, and Bullesye-117) building to an even 400 has me at least considering that they (one or both) might get passed over for ATA treatment. Looking a the U-Foes they are a lock for a 3 pt/fig ATA from thier point cost.

don't ATA cards take away your normal TA?? if they do, thats why i wouldn't. i"d also like to test how good i can do with them without the ATA boost.

It's now 'in addition to' as well as the ATA unless specifically stated.

[Old Purple Puss]

+1 attack in hindering terrain.

[GrimlockX]

Move and attack and/or Leap/Climb are pretty good ideas. I also like potentially giving some form of penetrating damage.
