Hey,
I "picked" well from a Streets of Gotham display at a Vintage Stock. I bought the 2 team packs and got Dove, GCPD Officer and Bane Bats chase. Guess whats going up for trade? Bane Bats I never knew you. I got the Assassins and Wildcat Packs!
Tactically we are going to go back a little bit to Chase Ice Cap from Captain America set. This figure sort of disappeared with all the sealed events, IG events, and just pure and simple time. Let's look at his pros and cons.
The pros over all is his low cost and great stats. If you look at the starting 12 attack and 3 damage for less then 75 points it is an awesome deal. The other thing that is noticeable is that you can fit him on any Avengers team. He is a great filler piece. The last pro is you get his best abilities and stats on his first useful slot. He has a lot great keywords. Don't forget he has 4 clix of running shot.
The cons are a bit obvious. The first is the countdown mechanic. While the countdown mechanic makes Ice Cap lower points. At the same time he is not able to do anything until a couple of turns in. After he takes a hit his stats consistently go down. The six range is a bit crappy.
You should be able to pick up one for under 20 bucks.
Thanks for reading. Sorry for the late posts lately. I've had a really busy last few days.
Check you later,

OOOO-MAC
Hello,
Today we are going to be looking at Omac from SOG. The main reason we are looking at him is due to the fact that he can fuel our evil robot army. We are going to focus on strengths,weaknesses, and good figures to pair with him.
The first thing to remember with OMAC is that since he is a robot and doesn't have any other good keywords. Warrior is ok but he doesn't really gain anything right now in the meta by it. The next thing to consider is that he has a lot of clicks of life with damage reduction. All of his clicks past his starting click are very useful. He has 4 clicks of charge with super strength on one of the charge clix. End dial phasing and regen combo is nice as well. The 8 range is nice but you have to consider most of the targets in the meta now are stealth.
The biggest weakness of the piece is that he has only one good keyword. I thought he was on some sort of team. I could be wrong. Not having a good keyword other then robot means he will not be seen that much in normal play. Omac doesn't quite have the numbers to be considered for a normal min-max team. The next thing that is a bit bad is that his attack caps out at 10. While it is a stable attack value one click of 11 would be nice.
The best figures to team Omac with is Manhunter Grandmaster. Being able to take that square move for free is awesome. The next figure that gives Omac some love is Avengers Movie set Tony Stark. He can perplex up his attack and give Omac that +1 defense when adjacent that really helps him survive. Last but not least we can not forget the Toysrus Sentinels. They can carry Omac and go off when Omac lands an attack.
Omac is a fun piece that can be moderately considered for a modern age robot team. Sadly there is not much else he can do right now.
Check out the latest episodes of the training series. Let me know what you think.
