I saw an interesting commander today

Today I was playing Planetary Annihilation after making a new map. I was waiting for the lobby to fill up when the first person to join had this commander:

After searching around on a couple of wikis, I found that this commander is called the "Gamma" commander.

In addition, there is apparently a "Jax" commander that looks like the one above but is a quadruped.

Is this commander developer-only or something? It's not in the armory and I've never seen it even way back when you could get a 100 dollar package on the Uber store.

Gamma and Ajax are exclusive to the retail early access copies.

Armalisk is exclusive to retail early access. Ajax will be given to players who purchased PA prior to a certain date.

ugh that is one BUFF commander. Even more so than the Theta

Everytime i see these commanders i want them to be able to transform like transformers and then just drive off. How awesome would that be, now your commander cant build but he is a force to be reckoned with

That's not the Armalisk, that's the Gamma commander.

Ajax commander

Soo can these still be bought or not?

You can also check this spreadsheet, it's not "Official" but I worked with the Devs to make sure it's as accurate as possible.

No. The Ajax should be available to all Purchases made before 01/02/2014 and the Gamma is only available via Physical Purchases at this time.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO.. I bought PA 27 days too late!

So for $90+ kickstarter backers to get Armalisk, Gamma and Calyx, we gotta buy retail versions?

Seems like one would have to purchase physical early access and later on the Collectors Edition.

Mike

So I checked that spreadsheet and went to my Steam purchases...

AJAX WHERE!?

As far as I can tell it hasn't been implemented yet.

Mike

Of course. Why wouldn't you?

Ajax here:

Note: both the Gamma and Armalisk come with codes in the box, meaning they're not tied to an account. They can be traded, sold and activated ingame via the Armory's "redeem" button.

Damn I was hoping that the backers and other early supporters/buyers would get the gamma commander. Isn't one exclusive commander good enough for the retail copy?

And technically everyone with a copy of PA up to now has been involved in the gamma phase of development so shouldn't it be available to everyone who has purchased a copy up till release?

The Real Ajax:

But does it make everything all right?

I found a store selling the early access for €20,75
Gonna cave in and get me some Gamma !
