I'm confused about the Futurwinians...
Sometimes they'll abduct at least a hundred MW's and then they'll just fly off, other times they'll only abduct less than a dozen, fly around a little bit, and land.
What determines their behavior?

^^ This. They pick up as many DGs as they can nab, and convert them. If they don't nab enough, they run away.

Actually, I've seen them drop as low as 4 futurewinians. Other times I've seen them abduct hundreds, and fly off as well without deploying any.

Does anyone know if someone is converted, do they keep any powerups in effect eg rage, hot feet etc.?
They are not immune to subversion, and I am pretty sure that converted units do not retain power-ups, though I have not actually tested that.

Since you have a bad habit of reporting behaviours that no one else has seen, without any proof or evidence of your allegations, I am going to ignore this comment until such time as you can provide some evidence.

I'm not sure about the rest of the power-ups, but if the FWs abduct plagued MWs, the resulting FWs are also plagued. I found this out while trying Major Cooke's Predatorwinia mod.

I have noticed that, but I don't think that was the question. If you have shielded or raged DGs, when they are converted by the subversion rays that Futurewinians use, they do not retain their shields or rage. Getting hit by a subversion ray turns any DG into an un-buffed DG of the attacking team. Plague is one of those oddities, in that even if a DG is cured when converted, chances are that there are other infected DGs nearby, who will immediately reinfect the cured DG. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this is what is going on in the Futurewinian's UFO.

He might post untrue information sometimes, but you don't have to be like that.
At least try and be friendly.
We'd be holding hands in big circle on the meadow, the sun smiles upon us and a rainbow appears in spite of the absence of rain. The world would be full of cheer, the children smiling, the parents sitting together looking on into the expansive brightness of the future of all lifekind.
And it sickens me.

I don't try and post "untrue" information, I post information that actually happens to me... though unfortunately I cannot give evidence due to the FUCKING PRINT SCREEN KEY giving me a goddamn black screen in photoshop. I even tried it in MS paint...
And when your farting rainbows out your ass... It means you've been smoking something... Something good. Give it to me.
