[OOC] Maximum Comics: Dawn of Justice | REBRANDING - PLEASE STAY TUNED

[Lord Wraith]

@Byrd Man I'll give it my approval if that means anything along with approval to @HenryJonesJr for Lex.

[Byrd Man]

How about FacePunch and Optimus Prime?

@Byrd Man

I personally am not a fan of bringing in Transformers and as such am voting against it.

[Dblade26]

So now I'm moving forward with Danny, I do wonder where he should go to school anyways since he's supposed to be doing it for 'normalizing'/semi-therapeutic reasons...

Also where a good place to start is in terms of time passed...

Racist...

[HenryJonesJr]

Sorry, gotta stick up for Transformers here. There's no reason to keep them out of the game. Stylistically they fit with superheroes.

@HenryJonesJr

I highly disagree but I'm only one AGM.

[HenryJonesJr]

I guess I'd have to get an explination on why transforming cars don't fit in with men and women who can create solid green light weapons from a ring or aliens that can toss a tank into orbit

@HenryJonesJr

On a serious note, I agree with Wraith on this one. I don't think it's a stylistic issue, I just think they work a lot better when they're self-contained and even Marvel understood that when they owned the rights to them the first time around. I guess there's not really any other game that Prime could be played in around here so I'm more sympathetic towards it than I'd otherwise be. I just think the consequences of integrating them into a shared universe have larger ramifications for everyone than, say, integrating someone like Smiley. If the Transformers didn't end up sprawling over into everything I reckon I could probably hold my nose and deal with it though.

@Morden Man

I can't say it any better than this right down to the last sentence. Additionally, every argument for having Transformers in the game works equally well for Eastern Comics as well. I really just think the line has to be drawn somewhere, you bring in Transformers, it doesn't seem like a big stretch for Gundams. The Enterprise shows up from a dimensional rift caused accidentally by The Doctor. I mean there's an argument for some many characters I think we need to start to reel back some.

[FacePunch]

Gosh, woulda been nice to know when I first stated my interest and went on to write a CS the size of Texas. Good golly jee. I can see your point, I suppose. The franchise technically fit into the perameters established in the OP (A part of IDW/Marvel comics and not, say, a Manga) so I guessed that Optimus would fit into Maximum's canon.

[Enarr]

Not that my opinion counts or anything silly like that, but I am totally pro-Transformers. The Doctor actually fits in fairly nicely, in my opinion. And time travel is regulated by the GMs anyway. Can't really imagine Transformers ruining anything, and I think it seems silly to reject a sheet because of (deniable) applications others may make later. [/Rant]

@FacePunch

As I have stated, I'm only a third of the GM's and I have no idea what Gowi and EE's opinion on the matter is. All I have stated is that I'm personally against it.

[HenryJonesJr]

Well, Gundam and Star Trek don't take place on a present day earth, so they're out. Don't see the problem with The Doctor eithed. I dunno. I don't see an argument, and they ARE an IDW comic which is a company called out in the first post

@FacePunch

Don't feel dissuaded, we're all about transparency and open debate here. Communication is the key to a healthy relationship.

Or so my ex-girlfriend tells me.

@HenryJonesJr

The Doctor is a key component to time travel or even Booster Gold. It doesn't seem so far fetched to have the Enterprise turn up in space, they just had a cross over with Green Lantern even. With the right CS all of your above points could apply to them as well.

[Enarr]

@Morden Man You're dating a mutant! That's so cool. Oh.. that was Ex-Girlfriend, not X-Girlfriend.

This is why we can't have nice things.

@Lord Wraith

Sure. With far more jumps in logic and smudging of the rules, the same could be applied. I just don't see logic jumps or rules smudging with the Transformers
