(And threw a lot of theories about a collective condition for the XPW out by the wayside...)
I'm kind of relieved, honestly.Collective unlocks aren't a big deal when the entire team is available at once, but I could see needing to do two unlock games every single new time getting a little wearying.
Oh, I'd been assuming that because of the way they set up the Fall of the Variants, you only needed to do the prerequisite once
Though come to think, the precondition for the other Prime Wardens is just "PWAA must be unlocked." It may still be that the rest of the XPW start with "XPWAA must be unlocked."
"Win a game in insula prinalis with regular AA and play every song at least once with using his image power"
I go play a squash match and you folks get everything figured out while I'm on the court!The community has discovered the official unlock condition for Xtreme Prime Wardens Argent Adept:Win a game in Insula Primalis with the regular Argent Adept on the team. The Argent Adept must use his Vocalize power to activate each of his unique Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm cards at least once each.
"Welcome to the jungle." Heh. Now I wonder if this is going to be a theme.

If I'm remembering right, prerequisites don't count until after a variant becomes unlocked for discovery.
So if stuff like "first lose to Progeny" was a collective prerequisite like we'd wondered, if the variants were all unlocked at once you'd only have to do it once, but since they're being unlocked one at a time you'd have to do it every single time.
But like I said, I'm now wondering if Insula Primalis being a part of the conditions is a simpler collective prerequisite instead, since IMHO it feels kind of out of place otherwise.

Well, yes. But given that it seems we only needed to do one update/download to get the code for all the variants, my guess had been that the system would be able to track those details and simply wouldn't let the final unlock happen...eh. Never mind, irrelevant.
Though I have just now noticed someting--there don't seem to be Android achievements for the XPW, or at least, there isn't one for XPWAA. Steam has them, but Android...not.

Huh, yeah, you're right. Wonder if it's related to there having been an initial server glitch in the unlock going live on Android servers.

I lose power and internet, get the unlock while offline and before I can report my conditions you guys have it locked down. Remind me not to take a hurricane break next time...
Aargh, I was so close! I'd met all the conditions except Insula Primalis as the environment. I still don't get that one. I did most of my attempts in the Court of Blood (the meeting takes place in Albania, and Transylvania was the closest I could figure).
I should note that Guise's imitation of XTreme Argent is suitably hilarious. There's two, actually, one being pure parody and one being a snippet of song lyrics I couldn't really make out or recognize.

McBehrer is the sole winner of this game... And McBehrer, I would step carefully should you find your way down dark alleys. More than one vote said simply, "McBehrer must die."
My guess is that it will be in the order that the members joined Argent Adept in the fight against Akash. According to the SC Wiki, Captain Cosmic was the first to join Argent Adept and Fanatic was the last. I am not sure about the order with Haka and Tempest.
Mal: "Well they tell you: never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious."
And now I totally wish we had gotten "real" individual bios for the XPWs, because it seems Insula Primalis really is tied to XTreme Argent specifically, which is making me scratch my head in curiosity.

Don't be silly. The court of blood is where Fanatic will be unlocked. Here is my prediction:
Win a game in the Court of Blood with base Fanatic on the Team. All of Fanatics ongoings must be in Play. Ongoings with powers must have their powers used.
I tried to do as little as possible to do so. I went with Cosmic, Gramps Legacy, Tempest and XPW Adept vs Ambuscade in Enclave. Cosmic ONLY played Constructs (12 total, I think, maybe 13), and I didn't even play one of each. 1 of the constructs got destroyed early (thanks Grenade Launcher), but I used Cataclysm to deal Ambuscade 13 damage. This did not incap him. Later that turn (because Adept is awesome) Tempest got the win and I unlocked him then.
In summary, there are no non-construct cards that need to be played, Enclave likely is the place to be, the unlock most likely is solely about destroying constructs.
My guess: Win a game with Captain Cosmic on the team in Enclave of the Endlings where Captain Cosmic destroys 10 or more constructs (in a single turn, perhaps?).
Edit in the form of a post for those who cannot see edits: I never dealt any damage using constructs outside of using a Cosmic Weapon (which doesn't really count since the hero deals the damage, not the construct).

The official unlock condition for Xtreme Prime Wardens Captain Cosmic has been discovered by the community:
Win a game in the Enclave of the Endlings with regular Captain Cosmic on the team. At least 10 Construct cards must enter play. By using his own card effects, damage from himself, or damage from Constructs, Captain Cosmic must destroy at least 10 Construct cards.
So the other day the question of Argent's eventual Dark Conductor variant came up, with the question of "So what should SFX for evil blood magic symphony conducting even sound like?" XD
Also part of me kinda hopes the background portrait has that creepy grin from the variant's incap, akin to Dark Visionary's portrait.

Maybe the reality the Xtreme Prime Wardens are from is more like Insula Primalis, full of dinosaurs and fire. I mean, that's pretty Xtreme, right?
XD It would explain a whole lot.

After the achievements are live, if you have the variant unlocked you'll get the achievement the next time you launch the app.

I have nothing relevant to say about XPWCC in the XPWAA thread but as all the cool kids are doing it...
XPWCC is more rad than XPWAA.

How do you know what accent XPW Cosmic has? What amazing information am I missing out on?!
We know Captain Cosmic in general is British and I assume that's what she is talking about.

Ah right. he was already one of my faves. Now I'll have to talk with my fake accent everytime I play him.
He worked at SCOTLAND Yard, so clearly he MUST be IRISH
I THOUGHT I was the the last Scion but it's actually .....
Yeap. No offense Argent, but British accent > Californian accent so Space Dad wins that particular battle.
(Now, a Southern accent would be a much closer call.)

I would be disappointed if XPW Cosmic didn't have a lower class lout sort of accent. (While yeah, regular Cosmic sounds more refined.)
Over on TV Tropes they put the London Gangsters trope in his character sheet, which sounds about right.
