[OOC] Transformers-Power Surge

[MistressCyanide]

"The Transformers! More than meets the eye!
Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons!
The Transformers! Robots in disguise!
The Transformers! More than meets the eye!
The Transformers!"



-Full for time being-

Once there were two factions, the Autobots and Decepticon who came crashing to earth on the vessels known as the Ark (Autobot) and Nemesis (Decepticon). It was not until 1985 both side became active and began to tear each other a new one. There planet (Cybertron) is now in the neutral zone and earth is the new battlefield for both sides. This battle had been going on for eons and it looked like it would continue onwards. Several events happened and many perished and returned but in the end Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bluestreak, Starscream, Ironhide and the rest had been killed off. Megatron and Optimus killing each other at the same time and were the last standing.

With all dead the matrix sat unused for 30 years. But this was not the end as another two ships came racing to get the matrix first. Unlike the Ark and Nemesis they did not crash and become inactive, instead they were tearing at each other’s throats to claim the lost matrix. By this point the humans had the matrix hidden somewhere but it won’t be long until they find it and hell breaks out if the Decepticons get to it first. Both need it to survive and but both have different reasons for wanting it.

While both sides are turning each other into scrap metal another threat is incoming for the Autobots. One thought to have been removed from existences already. It would come but when was still a mystery but they knew it was coming? I also have a few other ideas that I can work into it but for now we will deal with what I put.

Other: It is in an alternative time line because why the fuck not, I was not born when it started but I did watch it when I was four which was not a good age to remember things by. The story is all about surviving and getting the matrix’s before the other side does, of course other stuff will happen because one thing is really not enough. I think I will have the humans know of them because of the metal corpses left behind by the current deceased. The original will come back to life and then die and then risen and repeat because death is good for them. :p I am thinking OC’s because I like original characters so sue me (My lawyer has advised me to have that stricken from the record) Also I was four, how am I supposed to remember how they acted?

In this RP you can break out of what the original transformer were as they will be changing from what they once were. Anything is up but keep to what they would become so Autobots are always some land based vehicle while the Decepitcons will be anything in the air, ground and so on.

Just vehicles or are you open to for example predacons as an alt mode? :) If so, dibs.

Maybe, I am not to sure at the moment. I will have to get back to you on that.

I was think of having some little friends like Sound-Wave does but in the form of what Black-Out was. Of course they will be a different type/model of helicopter and they won't have the same pet Black-Out has.

Good to see this has got as far as having an OOC go up. I'll admit to being slightly dubious about having players being both factions, as I could see it resulting in squabbling and accusations of power gaming etc. once we actually get into a fight, but I'll remain open minded.

I'll look forward to a CS skeleton going up and being able to plan my character.

I hope we go down less of the cheesy and simplistic cartoon route, and get more of the depth/personality/etc from the comic books. Though I'd imagine we'll kind of have to if we're roleplaying!

Honestly if the players aren't A holes then it can work, also not everyone wants to be in the Autobots. I know power play happens in RP's. In fact I know first hand on how things can and will go out of control as my first RP died this way. All due to power abuse and also having the "I think they are going to do this at this time and place". I like the Autobots but they have no real range like the Decepticons have. I mean Megatron became a gun, Prime became a fucking truck. Out of the two Megatron was more interesting. We will go the dark and gritty route meaning you will lose an arm or your chest plate will be removed or damaged. Death will be important but it does not mean the end of a character. So far though I have not had this problem as GM, also there are quite a few NPC's to beat on so I hoe to god no one starts god modding or Mary Sue everything. I think I will have them evolve and change but I am not too sure on that part yet.

[Forsythe]

To put your mind at ease i intend to have a sort of renegade decepticon, not really on either side ;-P

Well in the end that is bad for you because you would have to deal with both sides. You would still be an enemy to the Autobots and branded a traitor by the Decepticons. If you are not helping them then you are automatically against them.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm sure it will work, I was just expressing my reservations. And I'm more than aware that a lot of people like the 'cons more than the 'bots too. Though, your comment about 'range' is a little flat, as there's a heck of a lot more characters than those in the cartoon to draw upon - and in continuities other than the original cartoon, both Prime and Megatron got a whole lot more character development, depth, and dimensions than 'truck and gun'. Which is why I mentioned the comics (again), as they're a much better source of characterisation than the old cartoons were, and indeed do have a lot of the grittiness and darkness that you're mentioning -
For example, take Empurata as an example.

I would seriously suggest giving the TF Wiki a look over. There's buttloads of cool stuff you're likely not aware of on there, especially if you're only going by the original cartoon.

Also, I imagine the characters will change and evolve in personality and such if the RP goes on for any length of time, as that's what happens.

[MistressCyanide]

OK, OK I see a few jets, a boombox and several other types. I stand corrected.

That's the fun part :D We shall see how it goes, no plan survives first contact.

I am not sure if I should put you in a different spot since you are not with them. Then again maybe someone else will say something about it.

Maybe something like that. Should I even add an appearance part?

[Rhona W]

I think appearance should be optional - I guess everyone kind of wants to give everyone else an idea what their character looks like, but it's hard when you can't really steal a photo or anime artwork as much.
So yeah, maybe throw it in there as an optional thing I guess?

OK, well I have what I think is needed and I added to the first post for others to take away and create there said character.

I am thinking about having my CS be about 28 Feet, maybe smaller or taller. Maybe????

[Forsythe]

I will start as a con, just have the character with a mindset that would allow for it to ditch them if the conditions play right, if that sounds better :) 'Sfar as appearance goes, text based is fine, lets people actually use their imagination :D

Sounds pretty good to me - I think deciding on a size around that mark is a good idea, as it's always been a bit of an issue with transformers anyway. Plus there's always a big of variation between characters' heights. Some are taller and shorter than others in a similar to various people being different heights and shapes, it allows for a bit more individuality. And anything too much bigger makes it too hard to interact with the surroundings of a human-sized world to boot, and would mean that combiners (if they show up) would have to be monumentally enormous.

I will make some of the Transformers minicons and such so yeah sizes will vary. Also with the dinobots and contructions sizes will vary even more.

I guess, but it is still kind of difficult because a Transformer has so many features and so on.

[Rhona W]

All sounds great to me. I'll get a sheet up tomorrow evening, as I'm off to bed now, and I have work tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing what everyone else cooks up.

[MistressCyanide]

I am going to say it, though the films are not very good I think the Transformer designs are good and are pretty much the best part of the movies.

[pyroman]

Ar you still accepting?
