Transformers

That does sound good. Continue the story on Cybertron after the Ark and Nemesis depart for Earth. No pesky humans, just robots.

I agree with this. Playing out the millions of years between the Ark/Nemesis taking off and when the Cybertronians awaken on Earth would be a great opportunity to flesh out that massive gap a bit, and possibly come up with a reason why the war kept going on in the absence of the two factions' leaders. Plus, no humans taking up focus is always nice, though humans don't have to be totally absent to not hog up time. That G1 RP I mentioned earlier did incorporate humans, but only in a way that would bolster development of the Cybertronian characters, such as when Spike was giving one of my OC's a new paint job after his repairs, or when a group of Decepticons raided a military base to find a psychic human.

Also, would a character yanked from another dimension somehow be fine? There'd be no screwing up any timelines because of this, and I can provide a nice explanation in the history for how he got into our dimension.

I would have to know more, PM it to me.

Starting work on the plotline now.

I'm gonna PM you an idea for my character, see if you're cool with it as well

Updated the first post.

Begin building your Master partner(s) or if you feel so inclined your standard Decepticon.

Zero Hex & Kalamadea since you started working on yours before I came up with the idea for adapting the IDW & Dreamwave uses for the various Master techniques you don't have to make your characters fit into the Master type you can be other Autobots that joined up later from other cells or other dimensions or whatever.

It's been a while since I last did any RP for Transformers, and been a while since I watched it. I'll have to recap my 'bot knowledge!

Uhm, what ARE Micromasters? And Masters? And all this crazy stuff on the CS?

[Revans Exile]

Masters is my catch all phrase for all the various Master technologies, it doesn't exist in actual TF lingo.

Micromaster they are Transformers designed to be the size of humans so that they need less Energon to function. Some stories have it being developed on Cybertron jointly by Autobots & Decepticons before the Transformers wake up on Earth some have it developed based on post Earth timeline (not sure if that was a joint effort). Transformers that are Micromasters were not always created that way, and those that were downsized were not always willing. IMO they are basically the G1 version of Mini-cons minus the ability to powerlinx with a full sized Transformer.

Headmaster in the show & comics is typically are humans or Nebulans who enter the Transformers head and can pilot the Transformer to some degree. There are instances where it is a human sized Transformer (not a Micromaster from what I can tell) that becomes the head for a lifeless body called a Transtector. A Transformer bonded with a Headmaster can transform from alt mode to robot mode without the Headmaster partner being present but it has no head and generally can't do much at all.

Targetmaster in the show & comics is typically are humans or Nebulans who wears a suit of armor that becomes a blaster for a Transformer. There are instances where it is a human sized Transformer (not a Micromaster from what I can tell) that becomes the weapon instead. A Transformer bonded with a Targetmaster can transform from alt mode to robot mode without the Targetmaster partner being present but they are missing some or all of their firepower depending on what other weapons if any the Transformer has.

Powermaster in the show & comics is typically are humans or Nebulans who wears a suit of armor that becomes an external power supply for a Transformer. There are instances where it is a human sized Transformer (not a Micromaster from what I can tell) that becomes the power supply instead. A Transformer bonded with a Powermaster can't transform from alt mode to robot mode without the Powermaster partner being present.

There are Mini-cons that act as Headmasters as well as Targetmasters but they are never referred to as Headmasters or Targetmasters. Plus the Mini-cons are not binary bonded to any particular Transformer. Can't recall any Mini-cons acting as a Powermaster.

Looking pretty good, maybe it's time you made yourself a thread in the roleplay section so we start posting bios there. As for my PM, I'm not sure it's gonna be necessary since I'm considering other characters, though oddly enough the previous one did involve Headmaster technology. Just didn't think you'd include the "-master" gimmicks as a central part of the storyline.
