Transformers RPG Season I Sign up/OOC Thread

You should switch Blackout's name for Vortex, since that's what he should've been called if it weren't for legal issues. :o
I thought Blackout was suppossed to be Soundwave but they switched it out cause it didn't work. Same for Barricade.
 
Still, if you're going to pick up a Combaticon, you should go with the G1 version of their sparks being imprisoned by Megatron after they tried to kill him and take over. :up:
 
I though you were the Combaticon guy.

I always heard it was Vortex, hence why he was the helicopter. They just didn't have the rights to the name, for some odd reason, and went with Blackout.
 
Rachet as our last untaken Autobot.

Barricade, Frenzy, Brawl/Devestator (take Brawl as name please if chosen) and Blackout.

Quick question: Really, what's the big difference between the movie and G1? Are there two different versions of each running around?
 
I'm debating it. I'm in a lot of RPG as it is, currently. And I'm still trying to think of a way for the Combaticon's sparks to be liberated from their prison on Cybertron.
Well considering we are on Cybertron now I would suggest picking your guy up. And I am in many RPGs too. Don't kill yourself with this one. Have fun. I would hate for this to be a chore. Butwe can't have it die. :yay:

Kinda. Basically, G1 has a different view where as movie makes it more...now a day compatible. Our goal here is to make everyone compatable with today's new age though. I like the movie versions only because there is less work to do to make it fit into today's time. But there are many differences.

Well, their sparks aren't mobile. Somebody would have to liberate them. In G1 that was Starscream since he wanted to use them as his personal army against Megatron.

Soundwave was taken out because they didn't want to make him the funny boombox one I forgot the name of.

Barricade was put in in trade of Shockwave. Which sucked.

Several things. Megatron being the biggest, as he's a Cybertronian Jet (who's toy rocks), instead of a handgun.

That, and they were searching for the Allspark cube to repopulate the dwindling Cybertronian race, rather than Energon cubes to empower their armies to decimate one another. And of course, the other forms, aside from Optimus, were not their original forms, ESPECIALLY Bumblebee, since that should've been Hot Rod, or at least Hot Shot.

Well this is a fine mess. Starscream is going to be searching the stars at present. Perhaps you could do the story where they get imprisoned now, and Starscream comes to free them later in the season?

Didn't bother me. But if you want to know our RPGs plot, look in the IC thread now. Just got up origin posts.

Why not just say he retrieved them before his mission? Planning ahead to take Megatron's throne, or what not. When he finds Earth, he can impart their sparks onto the military vehicles and, voila.

Alright, I'll Wikipedia the ones you mentioned and see which one I like best.

Actually, thats a good idea. We'll talk about why they were imprisoned and such later. So should starscream mention he has the sparks? And when he gets to earth should he scan for them, or can they scan for themselves?

Wait. If we can work this Combaticon thing out, be one of them. It'd be nice to have somebody to RP with from the group. I was planning on being either Vortex or Onslaught, but just Wiki "Combaticons" and read up on them.

They're badass Decepticons with a hate for both Autobots and Megatron. :up:
 
Yeah, that could be a good idea. But if he knows little bout G1, he may be comfortable with movie.

I never saw the episode, or if I did, it was when it was originally on, so then I don't remember. But, I think Starscream found the old military vehicles on an island in the Pacific and imprinted their sparks into them to have them become his little army against Megatron.

Edit: Google rocks...it was on the island of Guadalcanal where Starscream brought the Combaticons back into action. :up:

Course, those were old WWII vehicles, and we demand new models. :oldrazz:

As for mentioning them, that's up to you. You can mention them now, or wait until you get to Earth and give them new bodies in the form of new military crafts.

I guess it depends on when you pick one up. Since these are your babies, tell me the vehicles you had in mind if we aren't going WWII style. I haven't reached that episode yet in my G1 watching marathons. :woot:
