Transformers: Something Evil's Watching Over You

[mattmanganon]

"My name is Optimus Prime. You have been sent to this planet as advanced scouts for The Arc. Cybertrons last, best hope for survival. I cannot guarantee your safety, i cannot guarantee that what you find on this planets local wildlife to be accommodating, i cannot even guarantee that you will ever see our beloved Cybertron again, but what i can guarantee is that your mission is of utmost importance to all Cybertronians, a fighting chance at survival. Your mission will be to arrive, evaluate the locals and survey. You are not to message home, lest the Decepticons find the location of our new colony, you are to gather intelligence and await further orders until contacted. May Primus protect you."

The crux of this is going to be a "Kids on Bikes" Style RP where you all play as a bunch of kids living in a small city in England that one day, stumble upon some Autobots that have come to Earth after escaping The War on Cybertron in order to build a new colony that the Autobots can use to live in peace. You befriend these Robots who then disguise themselves as vehicles around the town and work with the kids to defeat Decepticons and other threats to this little city.

Pretty much, choose a transformer (Canon, reimagining of a canon character or OC) and a kid archetype. You get both of them.

Character Sheets

Autobot

[b]Name:[/b] (Frankly, if this one needs explaining, i'm not quite sure you're a good fit.)
[b]Basis:[/b] (Canon or OC? If canon, a link to the TF wiki would suffice. If some reimagining of a canon, give a quick list of the differences)
[b]Appearance:[/b] (Picture and/or Description)
[b]Gender:[/b] (Male? Female? Non-Binary?)
[b]Size:[/b] (Size chart goes, Minicon [Leader-1, Rumble, Laserbeak] Legend [Bumper, G1 Bumblebee, Prime Arcee] Deluxe [Prime Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Wheeljack] Voyager [Bulkhead, Vector Prime, Jetfire] and Leader [Optimus Prime, Ultra-Magnus, Grimlock]
[b]Altmode:[/b] (What do you turn into?)
[b]Archetype:[/b] (What category would you put your character into? Medic? Scientist? Daredevil? Speedster? Swordmaster? Walking Arsenal? Altmode Master? Cassetticon Carrier? Sniper? Brawler? Leader? Pretty much, choose a word or 3 that gives you a basic description of who your character is.)
[b]Weapons:[/b] (What do you use to fight? Are you a walking arsenal? Or are you a medic who only carries around a small blaster for dicey situations. Rule of thumb, the maximum amount of weapons should be 1 on each shoulder, one on each fore-arm and whatever you can carry in your 2 hands.)
[b]Other Equipment:[/b] (You do carry things that aren't just for killing, right...? Right...?)
[b]History:[/b] (You were someone before you came to Earth. What did you do during the war? Were you from Cybertron originally or were you from one of the Colony worlds?)
[b]Other:[/b] (Anything i forgot?)

Kid

[b]Name:[/b] (Self explanitory)
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b] (Picture and/or Description)
[b]History:[/b] (You've not been around as long as your Autobot companion, but that doesn't mean you don't have history.)
[b]Skills:[/b] (What can you do? What makes you special?)
Possessions: (What important things of note do you own? You're a kid living in Britain so you probably don't have a gun.)
[b]Other:[/b]

Sounds like fun! And since this is set in England, I think I'll be using an Autobot based on one of the most British characters of all time.

I added some Character Sheets if you wanna have a go?

Bumping for interest? Nobody looking for anything Transformers related at the moment?

I really like the kid/autobot combo in a small city idea. That said: my knowledge about Transformers doesn't go much further than Megan Fox lol, I have absolutely 0 nerd cred on this stuff, so as long as you think it doesn't need too much canon/background knowledge, I can be tempted. Are there any snowmobile autobots by any chance? :p

[mattmanganon]

@MrSkimobile Well, there's going to be a bunch of stuff calling on other parts of Transformers history, but, honestly, being that your character won't have any knowledge of that, it's actually probably slightly better.

As for snowmobile Autobots? Not that i can think of. There're 2 Decepticon Snowmobiles that come to mind Icepick and Snow Cat but Transformers, between continuities, have been known to be different allegiances. Generation 1 Steeljaw was an Autobot, Prime Steeljaw was a Decepticon. Most continuities Breakdown is a Decepticon, but in Armada, he's an Autobot. Most continuities have Mirage as an Autobot, but in Armada, he's a Decepticon. So, feel free to reimagine most any Transformer you like for this.

That being said, bare in mind that you are in the middle of a city in a non-snowy part of the world, so your character may have a hard time blending in.
