Please write a small sample post. (Must have two lines of dialogue and be 4 sentences minimum):

"Barricade reprting in, Lord Megatron..."

He had spent the last year searching high and low for sources of Energon on this spit of a planet, and he thought he had finally found some. It was a small signature, to be sure, but small was better than nothing.

Especially now that Prime had destroyed the great harvester in Egypt. Barricade longed to get his hands on the Autobots yet again, especially Prime's lapdog Bumblebee. He had emarassed the Decepticon once before but not again.

"Possible Energon source located. Awaiting further instructions."

 

[Watchman]

Air Raid, Sideswipe, Bluestreak, Ratchet, and Grimlock are all approved.

Damn, the Decepticons are ****ed.

EDIT Roster updated.

Not for long. After what I do to Megatron I'm going to make Autobots cry.

Damn straight

We need to have a Decepticon meeting to find out how we will crush the Autobots!

 

[Wulfen]

All hail Megatron!

Character you would like to play/Faction they belong to:
Cannonball/Decepticons

Type of vehicle/alternate mode:
Flamed Dodge Magnum
Brief Explaination of character's history (two sentences):
From small time thief on Cybertron he raised through the ranks to interstellar pirate he wasn't even present when the war broke out on Cybertron. Since then he has lost his entire crew and is looking to recruit. When Megatron called upon him he hesitated but then we was promised the chance to destroy Autobots, which ultimately means no one getting in his way anymore.

How many times do you plan on posting per week?:
As often as Megatron commands.

Do you know how to post pictures on Hype?
That I do.

Please write a small sample post. (Must have two lines of dialogue and be 4 sentences minimum):

The streets were quiet on this long abandonned highway not even the bugs of this backwards planet were buzzing in the heat. A small trail of dust from the road trailed behind Cannonball as he drove as fast as his engine and servos could take him while he tried to live up to his name. He wasn't used to being used as a scout.

"By the Fallen why isn't Barricade out here? It's his job to do this sort of thing he's the tracker not me."

He turned and slid from the road spiraling over the soft dirt and grasses. The noise of sliding metal spinning servos, and the hiss of the hydraulics the only other sounds as the car rolled over and over coming to a stop was a gold and black bipedal form that stood slowly looking out over the canyon. Activating his commlink.

 

[Wulfen]

We need to have a Decepticon meeting to find out how we will crush the Autobots!

Sounds like a party, now we just need some more Decepticons.

 

[Saved]

You are both approved.

HAHA. Our ranks grow.

And, yes, yes. I'm sure your plans are brutal and wise, all powerful and revered Megatron. Yes, I would follow you into the suns...for a time.

EDIT Roster Update.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Might I suggest an alternate mode for anyone who's considering Prowl?

This car is sweet.

 

[Saved]

Red X.

 

[Eddie Brock]

It's the Carbon Motors E7. It's a car specifically built as a police car.

 

[Saved]

Damn, that'd get confusing in a fight. The colorings are pretty similar and equal in the white to black ratio.

... yeah, go ahead. Someone make the joke.

 

[Venom160]

Character you would like to play/Faction they belong to: Rodimus/Autobots

Type of vehicle/alternate mode: 2009 Lamborghini Countach

Brief Explaination of character's history (two sentences): Known to few Cybertronians Rodimus is in actuallity a Prime and next in line for leadership after Optimus. When Optimus and his crew left Cybertron in pursuit of Megatron and the All Spark Rodimus battled with feelings of abandonedment. He kept these feelings to himself as he continued leading the remaining Autobots alongside his fellow generals in fending off Shockwave and the Decepticons. When his team was killed in battle and talks of leaving their home started to surface among the generals Rodimus finally gave in to the emotions brewing within his shell. He deserted Cybertron and his fellow Autobots opting to work as a galactic bounty hunter. But unbeknownst to him his destiny will bring him to a small isolated planet called Earth.

Please write a small sample post. (Must have two lines of dialogue and be 4 sentences minimum):

The planet Quintessa is described among most species as a cybernetic hellhole, meant only for scum and the parasites that mooch off them. Among this scum is a cast of Quintessons that have taken it apon themselves to provide law and order to the planet. The idea, no matter how noble, was quickly warped and perverted to the point that innocence was never found in these trials. The judgement always resulted in death. It was a certain "judge" that brought me to this miserable planet. I was hired by the only bot to survive judgment and escape the planet. He wants me to bring him this judge's head. The risk is high but the considerably large amount of credits and energon made my desicion for me. The bot's one warning echoed through my processor as I enter the Judge's personal chambers.

"Beware the Sharkticons."

I scoff to myself. I've faced Megatron in single combat, I'm sure I can handle some measly fish.

Six cycles later.....

A tenticled creature runs out of the golden building as explosions rip large holes in the alien structure. The strong figure holds a squirming shark-like machine through the hole letting it growl and tear at his arm before finally putting his plasma cannon to it's cranium. With a searing flash the Sharkticon goes motionless.


"Hm pathetic."

The Autobot hears the growls of approaching Sharkticon reinforcements.

"Slag..."

Spotting his prey from his vantage point Rodimus lunges into open space. As the ground rushes up to meet him his body starts to change. Components shift and move inward quickly replaced with smooth chrome. By the time he hits the ground the robotic lifeform is gone and a Cybertronian draggster sits in it's place. With an inhuman roar of it's engine the draggster peels off after the Quintesson. He covers the distance in nanoclicks before blasting into the air, shifting back into his robotic form, and lands a single explosive charge to the ground beneath the judge's feet. The Quintesson lands hard on his back and stares at his attacker, fear visible on his alien face.

"No! Halt this instant!"

Rodimus silently advances on the the shivering fool.

"What do you want! Credits? Power? Spare me and you'll own this planet! Just tell me what you want and its' yours!"

Rodimus' face shifts into what goes as a cybertronian grin.

"You know what I want?"

Hope burns into the Quintesson's chest.

"What?"

"Your head."

With a loud metalic cling a blade extends from his hand.

"NO!"

The Quintesson's scream is quickly silenced as blue blood pours onto the ground.

 

[Wulfen]

That is cool just seeing almost makes me wish I would have put in for Prowl.

 

[Saved]

Venom you're approved. Can't wait for that.

So, when should I put up and IC thread, guys?

 

[Eddie Brock]

That is cool just seeing almost makes me wish I would have put in for Prowl.

I know. I was this close to picking up Prowl, but I don't actually like his personality. Too logical for my tastes.

 

[Spike_x1]

Character you would like to play/faction they belong to (the words "and the" between "play" and "faction" would work much better than an incorrectly placed slash, don’t you think? I'm not actually choosing between writing down either my character's name or writing their faction, am I?):
Galvatron, and he is beyond both Decepticon and Autobot.

Type of vehicle/alternate mode (A vehicle mode is an alternate mode! Just say "Alternate mode." Begone, needless slash!):
Mobile field artillery unit.

Brief explanation of character's history (I'm putting down more than two sentences, because I feel like spiting your arbitrary limitations):
Galvatron was once a brilliant scientist and professor at the University of Iacon before becoming an explorer during the Golden Age of Cybertron, millions of stellar cycles ago. Transformation technology had only recently been perfected, allowing researchers to travel to new worlds and hide among its people in order to study them in secret, without interfering in the planetary society's development. Unlike today where all Cybertronians have the capability of transforming and don't give it a second thought, back then only qualified Cybertronians' bodies were outfitted to be transformable. Scientists on exploratory missions to study alien civilizations were obviously the main candidates to be equipped with this new technology. Galvatron gave up his teaching career to become a part of this new and exciting phase of scientific research, and together with a small crew, he set out aboard the very first vessel to use the name of The Arc, and they were never seen again.

Now, as the civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons has reached a new stage on the planet known as Earth, there is a threat coming from the farthest reaches of space. A threat that many thought was only a legend. A threat that they all thought to have died eons ago. Those who thought such things were only half-right. Galvatron and his crew found something out there, and they’re bringing it back.

How many times do you plan on posting per week?:
As many as needed.

These peasants... these mockeries... how easily they forget what our proud race once was.

The Commander paced up and down the bridge of the Arc, going over the events that a young Prime had broadcast into space as a message to any of his fellow "Autobots." He makes reference to another group of Transformers calling themselves "Decepticons." Megatron. Optimus Prime. All of these unfamiliar words and names.

Having been out of the loop for so many long stellar cycles, such unfamiliarity was not altogether unexpected, but Galvatron couldn't help but feel startled nevertheless. He and his crew had been combing through as many records and transmissions as they could get their servos on after reaching normal space again, and all of the evidence pointed to civil war among their people. They had investigated Cybertron, and all that remained was a lifeless husk. They had observed countless alien planets that had been visited by Cybertronians, and each of the worlds had become a burning warzone. Transformers had become a blight upon the universe in Galvatron's absence.

"But there will be a reckoning," the Commander said to no one in particular. Several of the bridge crew looked up at the sound of his words, but Galvatron ignored them. After cycles of listening to logs and going over reports again and again, he finally came to a conclusion. "Cyclonus!" At his master's beckoning, Galvatron's first officer approached the Commander.

"Yes, my Lord?" Cyclonus' hoarse voice echoed around the ever quiet bridge.

Galvatron closed his optics and thought about his plan one more time. "Cybertron is dead. Just like us. Transformers have utterly and completely lost sight of who they once were. What we found beyond conventionally known space, however, will right these wrongs and save the universe." A look of fresh determination washed across Glavatron's face as he sat down in his chair and punched a command into the console on the armrest. "You are going to this planet that the Prime is on. The one called "Earth." Once you're there, await my signal before taking any action."

"And what of you, master?"

"I am taking the Arc to Cybertron."

 

[Wulfen]

I'm ready for an IC thread any time. The only thing is Cannonball might need to hear from Megatron. So some Decepticon plans can be laid out. Already know what Air raids going to be starting as since he still has to get to Earth.

 

[Wulfen]

I know. I was this close to picking up Prowl, but I don't actually like his personality. Too logical for my tastes.

He really is. I always liked him even though in some of the comics he came off as a massive sphincter. If we could have 3 chars I'd pick him up. Maybe next season instead if no one picks him up. Maybe start him out as a POW on Cybertron.

I didn't remember him being such a *****e until I started researching him as a character choice. He's more uptight than I realized, whereas Bluestreak is way laid back.

1) I like slashes!
2) Grimlock has no vehicle mode. Only an alternate mode.
3) I'm changing the history post length. Two Sentences is too short.
4) I should gank the length and requirements for the sample post from other rpgs.
5) You lied to us about waiting for Galvatron!
6) APPROVED.

2. That's Spike's point. Alternate mode covers everything - vehicles and otherwise.
3. Yes. Yes, it is.

It was really just in the comics where he was and then the more recent stuff. His character in the cartoon and alot of the comics can be pretty different really depends on the writer at the time I think.

 

[Saved]

Update.

I'm interested to see how this goes, what with dissension in both factions and two other factions who despise the conventional two.

Could always go the Animated route, with Prowl as a ninja.

 

[Eddie Brock]

That was such an odd choice. Of all the possible Autobots, they make Prowl a ninja.

EDIT: I mean, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker know "jet judo."

Yeah, who actually listens to good advice?

Could always go the Animated route, with Prowl as a ninja.

As much as I like the other incarnations of Prowl, he is pretty awesome in that show.
