maybe throw up another interest check, see if anyone bites now that the rp lasted for some time? i am perfectly happy in a small group, but if we had one or two more...

You know... I've been occasionally visiting this RP once in awhile, and I've been considering on joining it being a decently big TF fan myself. I've read the Interest Check btw, and it looks cool. I take it we are only allowed to make OC characters for this RP, instead of say reinventing a known character. Regardless, I'll see what I can make, one Autobot, and one Decepticon.
@LmpkioWell, I'm not going to say that you can't use or reinvent an existing character, but if you do choose to use an established character, I'd ask that you give a reason as to why they 1) Didn't board the Ark/Nemesis, or 2) left their faction to be on cybertron

Of course, I'm not sure if I'll be doing that, but I have one character idea for this The 2nd one would be easy to do... I think. Said character I wanted to reinvent was Cyclonus, being more of the guy in MTMTE comics. Not sure if he'll be a Decepticon or a neutral TF.
I've also been playing with the idea of a new dinobot character as well...
Just so you're informed, Whirl might be making an appearance later on, but I don't see a problem with Cyclonus being in this.
If you'd like to make a Dinobot character, we'd have to talk a little more about that one. RocketRobie already has a former decepticon dinobot, a heavy hitter type, so you could always make that character a decpeticon dinobot and have a connection with Sklog, Robie's character, or have a pretty interesting autobot dino.
@pyroman Cyclonus is indeed a favorite of mine. Ik a youtuber who makes an awesome fan impression of him, you can check him out here in a very awesome MTMTE comic dub. 10/10 man, superior work!
Good ole' Whirl! I remember even seeing the hints here as well. Funny to think that the two also meet in the said comic as well. I'll see what I can work with him, probably in the same direction as being in MTMTE, with he being a former "decepticon" as he likes to call it, and then being neutral, perhaps maybe being with the autobots later on.
I am aware of the dinobot in the room, and I can gladly make a Decepticon one. I actually have two ideas.
1). For a more traditional dinobot, I could make the design be that of a Theriznosaurus (The dinosaur with the insanely long claws), who was once friends with Sklog or something, but with his betrayal, have an very hard hatred of him.
2). I could go for a decepticon predacon (not the dragons) route. I've found a good picture of a concept of who I would like to make here. He isn't the final design, for the robot form doesn't look good as well as being more autobot like, but works as a carnivore vs herbivore relationship with Sklog.
@Forsythe I was also playing with such an idea, like a marine or pterosaur creature as well. May make one or the other (or both) as more of a NPC character (maybe even make my own team yeah :D)
Edit: I've also found a jackpot of images that show a ton of cool and awesome dinobot images as well, all well done as well. May use some of their concepts as well if I make a custom team...
And here's Cyclonus! I'll get to work on my second character later.
Cyclonus
Former faction: Prior Decepticon; Currently Neutral
Role: Air | Offensive Support
Weapons and Tools:
Laser Cannon (Alt mode only)
2x Single Missile Launchers (Alt mode only)
Burst Rifle (Fires three rapid blasts of energy in one shot)
Cybertronian Cross-Sword (Melee weapon of choice)
Cybertronian Shield (Wielded in Bot form; stored on his back as additional armor)
4x Stun Grenades: (Available in both modes; Cyclonus can either bomb his opponent from the sky or throw them when transformed)
Personality: Cyclonus may look like an ominous, cold, and even an unstable former Decepticon, but underneath that ice-cold exterior, lies a deeper and surprisingly warmer interior. Being pretty old for a Transformer, Cyclonus is a deeply honourable and religious character, a strongly moral person in his own way but not a straight-ahead hero, but also very conservative and traditional. He sees the world in a very different way than most other transformers, both autobot and decepticons alike, which allows him to come off as borderline villainous at times without actually necessarily being wrong, just very, very different. Regardless, he has put aside the former Decepticon that he once was and goes about on his own journey to find out more about himself and the future that lies ahead.
History: Cyclonus of Upper Tetrahex, was forged and came of age in the order of Clavis Aurea as a very religious bot, memorizing the catechism of the Guiding Hand and worshiping in the shadow of the Metrotitans, before the great Cybertron War began. He initially served with the Decepticons, specifically under the allegiance of a warrior known as Galvatron (not Megatron), and it was at that time where he also met Scourge, where they would become very good friends.
Not much is known about the battles he and the others took during the War, but at one point, both Galvatron and Scourge had ultimately died in battle, the former dying at Optimus' blade, and the other being tossed down a chasm. Alas, the surviving decepticon grieved their deaths, but continued to fight on. During the time when the Ark and Nemesis flew into space, Cyclonus was unfortunately left behind after digging the grave for both Galvatron and Scourge, wherever he may be now. As he tried to get onboard, Megatron forcibly knocked him off from the ship's platform with his cannon, breaking one of the former Decepticon's left horn, leaving him falling right back down to Cybertron. The leader thought of Cyclonus as weak and somewhat of a "miserable crybot (crybaby)" for being attached to those two dispensable units and ultimately let him to rot on the planet.
Of course, Cyclonus survived the fall, and with it he felt betrayal against the Decepticons. Knowing that, he ultimately left the title of being Decepticon, and made his own path and life on the planet. While he left his former faction, he also wasn't feeling the need or desire to join the autobots, hence he chooses to be simply neutral. He now scours throughout the wasteland that was once his home, searching for who he really is... and maybe one day, a friend or two.
@Lmpkio Hey! Nice to see ya around here! Glad you could join us.
As for your ideas with the dinobots (if you're still going with any of them) I think your idea of dinobot vs former dinobot would be pretty cool with any of your ideas.
@rocketrobie2 Hey there! I was always interested in joining, I just wasn't sure when I could join. But here I am now! :D
The dinobot idea is still there man :) Probably go for a Predacon Dino however, just to make things more interesting. However, I have another idea relating to an actual Autobot Dinobot team, which is basically like the original team, but with different alt modes and vice versa. But the predacon dinobot is still a go.
