So when we unleashed the new combat system, we had a Love Poem Contest (it was around Valentine's day). And now, finally... the winner!

First Prize[]

Oh!
Fair Legacy your charms untold
Your numerous abilities
Simple to use and yet so bold
For years our all, totality


Tho other games were more complex
Oft quoted the upstart M3
Effects and types on its attacks
Your Punch and Crush - enough for me!


Yet change must come to all it seems
Even the aged 2k5
Beauty faded, your eyes lost gleam
A mess of code barely alive


All players shall remember you
Long after you are dead and gone
The sacred code, the system true
'Twas not in vain, your service long


Think not of this as a defeat
The following would better suit;
Legacy has begun +retreat
Outdistancing every pursuit

1st Runner Up[]

A HAIKU
+attack Blueshift=crush.
This is what me Grimlock do.
+attack Blueshift=crush.

by (you guessed it) Grimlock

2nd Runner Up[]

You bore the title of a fallen Prime,
But, like him, you were redeemed over time.


Your virtues were many if oft forgot.
Your faults, we adored, believe it or not,


How a punch might smite a jet from the sky.
Fire burned Hot Spot and we never asked why.


Blows thrown in anger could not be recalled.
Scrambling to find syntax, combat was stalled.


Warriors stood, as if on a flat plain.
Efforts to hide or chase were made in vain.


Ammunition flowed like water and wine,
Yet halted by the 'low energon' chime,


Once winded, no recovery in sight.
No speech could rescue a coward from fright.


Enough of flaws, prompting etiquette laws,
Battle was simple, the snap of lions' jaws.


Epic poses blossomed to life like spring.
Flights of Seekers and Aerialbots took wing.


The sky was no limit to fancy free.
Imagination loved dear Legacy.

Honorable Mention[]

A battle rages on
I scramble for energon
Everything changes

by Bandit

Honorable Mention[]

legacy system
evil truce with HHH
no valid target?


yet it served us well
despite occasional quirks
no level seven?


TACS: its successor
RIP legacy code
up next: the time orb?

[editor's note: yes]

Honorable Mention[]

Repeating and drain
and special is too,
some of the silly
things we can do


lasers and tasers
disruptors and fists,
this is the way we
attack and then miss


Rockets and gauss
and energy_axe,
this is the way we
use our attacks


Missile and crush,
and compressed_air, too
time to upgrade
is now overdue!


Plasma and cannon
and area_ranged,
once, they did hurt
but now we're all changed!


we loved it all
though it was askew,
our old combat system,
we sure will miss you!

System of old school
I have warm love for you but
The new code awaits
