Yes. A " Upgrade" is an upgrade that could give or has an effect if the character has .
For example, Staggering Might could give a character Bold, so it's a Bold upgrade. Conversely, Polarity Gauntlet does not give a character Bold, so it is not a Bold upgrade.
Nacelle cannot be used on your first turn if you go first. He increases the number of permitted plays (with a restriction), but the player needs that permission (In this case, being able to play an upgrade) in the first place to use it.
If you go second, you are able to play an upgrade using Nacelle during your turn, meaning you can play up to one card and also play an Upgrade onto a Decepticon with no printed abilities.
Yes. You absolutely could side out, for example, two characters and 3 star battle cards to bring in a bigger character from your sideboard. Just be sure after siding, your sideboard does not contain more than 10 battle cards and/or stratagems.
No. A Body Mode character needs a Head to enter the Battlefield, and there is no way to reattach a Head once it deploys from a Body.
No. Swapping a card for a card with a green icon is not flipping that card for battle, so it would not be eligible for Prime's effect.
It would get shuffled into the deck.
Each Weapon is played sequentially and will immediately replace (scrap) the previous weapon on the character (if any). Effects that trigger on the character being upgraded will trigger as normal. Each Junk Cannon will see itself and the Weapon that replaces it played, but not further weapons.
Eyuk's ability would resolve. Motormaster's bot mode is a replacement effect that happens at the "Declare defender" step of an attack, while Eyuk's resolves at the "Resolve 'When this attacks' triggers" step, after Motormaster's ability has resolved.
Yes. Bollag triggers each time a character is upgraded with a Weapon, even if multiple weapons are put onto a single character.
She would get the +2 Attack. Bike Gang checks for having the Motorcycle trait when flipping battle cards, at which point Chromia will have the Motorcycle trait from the Junkion station she jumps into.
No. The card is effectively considered your card since you're the one playing it, even though your opponent is the one who owns it.
It is attack damage. Omega's bot mode is basically a weaker version of Heroism, and that's been ruled that damage taken via Heroism is considered attack damage. This means that after resolving Omega, if Countdown still takes 2 or more attack damage and isn't KO'd, you get to resolve Countdown for both himself and Omega.
Hybrid icons check for the trait at the time they are flipped, and immediately apply their effect. The Green icon effect just happens to be "you may swap this for a card in your hand after the battle". A Ranged character flipping, for example, a Paralyzo Box during defense, then being flipped to a non-Ranged mode after the battle will still be allowed to swap for the Box since they had the appropriate trait when the Box was flipped.
If you reveal Nucleon Exposure to Abominus, then each of your characters that don't flip from the Exposure will take 2 damage. Exposure replaces "flip all characters" with "you may flip one, mode lock the others". Because you can't flip the other characters, Abominus does damage to them.
You guess an icon color for the first Box, see if it's correct, then make a "guess" for the second with the knowledge of the first Box's guess.
It does not end up on the character, and any "When you put" or "When you play" triggers do not resolve.
If your opponent jumps ahead and says "I'm going to play Leap onto Prowl" while you have a Jam Signals set, you can react to it and flip Jam Signals.
No. Toolbox replaces the amount of repair being done, so you would still only repair the maximum of 5 from Raider Skytread, though you would do it as Repair 2, Repair 2, Repair 1, Repair 0, Repair 0. Toolbox is advantageous when you are putting 1 or 2 cards under Raider Skytread.
Your opponent couldn't scrap the Ultra Magnus Armor due to Impervious, so Drill Arms would allow them to draw a card.
No. Guilty or Innocent simply prevents the defender from using Tough. It does not get rid of it. Therefore, the defender is still a defender with Tough, and Rippersnapper cannot use his bot mode ability as a result.
Similar to Recon System, Clench and Junkheap happen before the extra flips from a White icon. Any card(s) scrapped by them don't have their icons used, but are still flipped for cards that care about what was flipped (Starscream, Skywarp, etc).
Yes. The upgrade check is made when flipping battle cards, so if you no longer have all colors among your Upgrades, OA cannot be fired.
The static ability of Topspin's alt mode (As well as the opposite side of Malevolent Architect) that sets their Tough equal to their Bold always applies before Oppress kicks in. Then Oppress will reduce each total by whatever the Oppress value is. So with Topspin + Clobber, Topspin will have Bold 2, and thus Tough 2 after Oppress is applied.
The defender is declared after Rage resolves.
Secret Actions you play, in addition to being considered to have no icons, are considered to have no faction. Therefore, you cannot use a secret to fulfill that requirement on This Shall Be Your Ship.
The characters flip simultaneously. Cliffjumper will not trigger for any of them. Also, if you had Cliffjumper in Bot mode and the other Cars in alt mode and resolved Abominus's trigger, Cliff still won't trigger, since Cliffjumper's alt mode needs to "see" the entire flip event.
Soundbarrier only looks at the Black icons flipped and does not take any other effects into account. Additionally, Soundbarrier triggers on the announcement of attacker and defender, and then sets a rule that only the first 3 black icons apply that battle and the rest are ignored.
Point Defense System vs 5 Black Icons = Pierce 1.
Piercing Blaster + 5 Black Icons vs Point Defense System = Pierce 4.
It does not. So adding cards to your hand via Open Agenda does not trigger Caliburst.
No. Rapid Response Cycle only gives a character the Motorcycle trait while that character is in bot mode. While the character is in alt mode, the condition to have the Motorcycle trait is not met, and thus the character does not have a Motorcycle mode, meaning you could not use The Great Escape on them.
