I'm unfamiliar with UDK numbers, but I'd say make the stats proportionate to their toy bios if possible.

^ that's one of the best links to find the stats for each character.

I am in need of a good texture arts, someone who can use use photoshop, because I have the technical side down, but it's the creation of 2d art right now that holding a lot of things up. I want to redesign the hud; I adjusted the one in UDK to sure as the current one, but I want to have something original that suites the game better. Also for 2d art; I need that more designing the menu system, something I definitely need for it to be a true game, instead of feeling like a UT mutator. If anyone knows of any good artists, or where I could find one.

One spot of good news, nothing too extreme, but I tweaked the AI a little bit; nothing compared to what I want to do in the end, but they now will chase and use melee.

I could use a little help coming up with creative terms for the different difficulties in the game settings menu i.e. right now I have easy, medium, hard, and insane. I have four difficulties now, but nothing says I can up that. I was thinking that easy could be called "Maintenance Bot", and insane could be "Prime". I can come up with stuff on my own, but I figure I could get some really good suggestions here.

Easy - Maintenance Bot
Medium - Soldier
Hard - Prime
Insane - Primus

Not sure what other ranks are lol. You could try using Convoy but I think it's equivalent to Prime (just used by the Japanese).

The menu system now has adjustable video settings, instant action settings, saves the settings for the next time you play, and a simple map. Map selection settings, Multiplayer, and campaign menus will come much later.

Looks really nice. The beginning of the video really reminded me of the Halo: CE menu.

Is there a way you can put the character's headshot or a picture of some sort when your mouse hovers over the character name? Also, for the main menu, can you make the text glow when you put your mouse over a selection?

The issue is more of a time one; animated effects can be made, but I would prefer to be able to have an actual artist help me with creating what will be animated, I can animate it. The real achievement is that it works, so visuals can be done later, it can be made nice and pretty later. I am hoping as this develops I can find people who can help me with the non-technical aspects I am leaving "working", but unfinished.

I won't have the control point system working with the game mode for a little while, but they exists and work. Energon won't change too much other then added detail.
