Hahaha. Opps!
Hmmmm…
You know what, why wait? If I can change the thread title, then why wait for an announcement of a fifth expansion when I can change it now?
Welcome friends, to Phantom's House of Fun and Speculation!
The spot to be for all things theoretical and fun on SotM!
We could guess at the next expansion's title? Dire Machinations? Sinister Constructions? Advanced Technology?
Is there evidence for it having a mechanical theme or are you just Wild Mass Guessing?
Ronway is the Greatest Being in Existance?
Is that a question?
It certainly is questionable.
Educated Wild Mass Guessing; every expansion so far has been themed, and Mechanical and Cosmic seem like the biggest themes not covered. Cosmic would be the last expansion, so mechanical now. And after all, Bunker, AZ and Unity all still need nemeses...
I have been thinking that they would do a Mechanical expansion, but I'm not sure. Both Unity and Omni-X would've fit in very well with a theme like that, as well as Omnitron and Baron Blade. There's room for some more technologically based villains, but we already have a lot of heroes who are technologically based or themed.
Fully realizing that the "time travel" angle was already done with Shattered Timelines, what about a space-themed expansion? That would fit the potential for a technological angle while also providing an opportunity to bring in that mysterious Thorathian hero.
I'd love to see the Sentinels heroes exploring the depths of a ruined starship, full of Brood-like aliens skittering through the air ducts!
I concur. The only space related stuff we've had so far is Voss, Tempest, and the Wagner Mars Base, but with Tempest and Voss, it was a case of aliens coming to Earth, and we haven't had any other alien stuff since then. There is also Cosmic Omnitron, but that has been still mostly an Earth thing.
I think a cosmic expansion will be the last expansion, what with the expected Galactus-level baddie everyone is expecting.
A tech level one would be fun, so hopefully we get it.
It was my guess at the next expansion.
That makes more sense. I didn’t that sentence was questionable.
Brother, have I ever told you the truth about Ronway, paper clips and the transmutation of the souls of turtles?
We are due some big hulking baddies that we don't have yet.
For example Scum and Villainy has Char, Proletariat, Friction and Giant Lava Dude we don't have yet.
Mists of Time has an earth colored guy (bottom left)
We have the Swamp thing on call forth.
There are plenty of element-based characters looking at us in these cards.
I think we have a elemental themed expansion coming.
I also agree we have a cosmic one coming as well.
I am interested in the new playstyles that will be introduced. We know about the new Vengeance mechanics, so I am wondering what else they will throw at us.
With Cosmitron we have out there an entity that tinkers with other things for its own purposes. I would love to see a villain deck that you play with another villain, that ups the difficulty of a normal villain by having this entity empower them in different ways, there are so many ways it could be done really well, and it would be super cool to have a cosmic entity initially reveal itself that way, as well as new ways to play old villains.
If we ad an expansion that introduced 2 or 3 decks that did that in very different ways they would have more play life than single villain decks, and would bring a new twist to the villain decks we already have, and some wicked combinations that could be really crazy hard.
Aside from Iron Legacy, Bunker is presumably getting a nemesis in Fright Train and Absolute Zero in Proletariat.
I certainly hope Bunker and Absolute Zero get other nemeses besides those two. It seems unfair that Wraith, Tachyon, and Legacy (technically!) all have different nemeses outside of Vengeance. I like to think those two will have their day to shine against "single" nemeses.
True, but Tachyon and Wraith are also getting nemeses in Friction and Ermine, despite already having had them in the Matriarch and Spite. So really, Bunker and AZ need other nemeses besides the Vengeful Five and Iron Legacy. I also hope Unity will eventually have a non-IL nemesis.
EDIT - curse your tuxedo-ninja skills evandan!
I could see members of the Vengeful Five possibly having their own unique decks outside of Vengeance as mini expansions. That might be kind of neat.
I'd like to see Zero get a nemesis that actually relates to his story, rather than Baron Blade making a connection to get someone to join his team.
