    Talk about health pack suck.

    While on round 5 of the current iteration of Ultron, I finished off Ultron with a Force Field Crush. Ultron died. I win. Yay.

    The tiles settled. 3 bombs fall to the bottom. 2 stacked in the same column. All three process. All three of my characters die.

    "VICTORY!"

    Sigh.

    I posted this the first time and a Red said that this was not working as intended and that they would get this fixed for the next time Ultron ran.

    Oops.

    Has not happened a single time to myself or anyone in my alliance.. The second Ultron is at 0 health, the bombs poof BEFORE any tile cascades or timers.

    Not sure why you seem to be the exception, but i've killed him enough with board shakers etc to see that poof before the board shakes when the ability kills him.

    Were the bombs bubbled? Maybe there's some conflict since a bubbled special tile is pretty much in limbo and doesn't operate normally. Maybe when Ultron died and the bubbles were burst, whatever fix wasn't applied to disable them?

    So far it has happened to me twice. The first it was one bomb, and in a early round, so i mentally wrote it off. The second, a triple bomb salvo in round 5 that I described above was more memorable. Thus the thread and the frustration.

    When using IW, I generally lock the bombs themselves unless I have enough green to spam a Crush right after placing bubbles. If I have the green, I lock tiles adjacent to bombs and blow them away.

    In the match referred to in the OP, I had tons of blue but no green, so I had lots of locked bombs on the board. I finally got enough green to finish Ultron in one pop, so I did. Surrounding tiles destroyed, Ultron died, bubbles released, and formerly locked bombs dropped, and processed.

    I haven't noticed this with any toon besides IW. Will report if I do.

    Sounds like it is IW specific, this is a major bug then lol, Ultron is the main reason i am working on building her!

    Looks like its true, bubbled bombs are behaivng differently.
