I cant remember why, but I didnt really partake in the warmachine thing. Wasnt it one thing at a time though?

(Dont get me wrong, I obviously expect more than one thing to be running at a time in this, it's become standard to have a main tournie and a mini game runing symaltainiously, but not much more than that in one go.)

Just a couple thoughts if we ran this for two weeks we could break this up into a big send off. Say week one we have three two day tournies,hunts what ever Each one has a point spread say like 50 then a week for JP and Red to run a tounie.

So we have a 100 points total, I think we could use Tam's scoring system for individual factions to grade overall preformance other then just a single event win.

Also the first week could be tied in to the main story of the final weeks event.

Basically, how I see this is as a large umbrella term under which we can set several events and tournaments. Without revealing too much, I can say that the main thrust of it will be very similar to the G2 comics stories, with all-out war, a faction that's everyone's enemy, and a Big Evil that rivals even Liege Maximo and/or The Swarm.
Over a three week period, we could tie any number of events into this, having them run into each other perhaps - if there are point awarded to the top 3 places for each individual event a final tally oculd announce the best player of the tournament, as well as the winning faction overall. I would only be wanting to run the event which is directly related to the story (and I'll probably need as much help as I can get), but anything else is free game for everyone to do what they want.

Is it too late to add an old-style Scavenger Hunt to it too?

I wouldn't count on a lot of autobot participation if they run from Pred missions because of Merc/Loki challenging a much higher autobot frightens them, imagine what a tournament would do. They'd need their brown pants.

What about incorporating a Bot/Con and Max/Pred as initial tourneys? The Max/Pred has some good backing, and in terms of storyline I could imagine the Bot/Con leading up to their shutdown, the Max/Pred leading to the re-awakening following the comet, and for logistics we run them simultaneously.

Once done a 4-way can occur with the supporting events (hunts, rivalries, etc.) to build to the "Common Evil" as the final blowout. It's like you've all been saying but incorporating another tourney thread which has been discussed previously for the ~Jan/Feb timeframe.

Thinking about the above - it's almost telling the whole history of V1... Bot vs. Con, Beast vs. Beast, 4-way insanity, 'It's Godzilla, let's fight together!!', *BOOM*

edit: I also volunteer to help write / storyboard / build outlines. To be blunt, establishing and managing the framework of stories that would be involved would likely be a strong suit and I could also contribute as needed.

How about this as a format:

0) we drop a huge hint about the final battle.
1) A warm-up hunt, plenty of options to choose from...
2) The real war, 4 factions vs 4 factions.
3) Endgame, The hidden threat reveals itself and the cybertronians have to fight not only to save thier faction, but also to save their planet...

Kaiju's idea balances the canon aspect of the game really nicely and will definately build up interest, Red and Jeep's story will also work very well alongside it.

As Jeep (and Red) have proven themselves in the past, they will be taking the last part of this epic, but do we have any bot volounteers to write their factions side of the final story if we give them a loose breif?

Is there any reason we cant have parts 2 and 3 running symaltainiously? Even if they are scored by seperate people? A 2 week epic tournie with everybody against everybody, I cant see a better sendoff.

That's pretty much exactly how id expect it to go down.

Awesome sauce.

News Credits: 1 · by **Jeep?** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 11:16 am

At this time I would like to propose the name "End of Days" for it.

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 11:21 am

I second this.

In my head I've been going with Heavy Metal War: Omega.

News Credits: 1 · by **Jeep?** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 6:23 pm

Also good. Do we have any other suggestions before we put it to a show of hands?

Omega? Care to explain?

"When All Are One"

News Credits: 1 · by **Kaijubot** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 2:48 am

The idea I came up with had four or five endings that would end the war permanantly storyline-wise, as well as being the end-cap for v1, so Omega seemed fitting. Also, as well as the combined simplicity and pretentiousness of the name it fits one of the main inspirations behind the story I came up with.

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:33 am

We've only come up with 2 endings... or 8 endings, depending on how you look at it! lol.

News Credits: 1 · by **Kaijubot** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 6:04 pm

Well, most of them are variations on a theme.

Anyway, Pyschout has just about convinved me that your and Jeep?'s idea is compatible with mine, so I'll be PMing the two of you about it some time this weekend most likely.

I recently watched Rebirth again and thought that the end of HMW V1 could pay little homage to the finale of G1 (In America).
Would it be possible to incorporate some elements from the G1 finale into the story. There are some nice plot devices and battles in Rebirth. Rebirth also gave us Headmasters, Targetmasters, the plasma energy chamber, twin/clone transformers and Six Shot amongst other things. :-B

For those who haven’t seen Rebirth I’ll give a really basic outline of events. (This might be slightly biased)

Optimus has a premonition when suddenly...
All Cons attack Autobot City and steal key to plasma energy chamber
Autobots get their Asses kicked
Cons leave and attack Seibertron
Arielbots get their Asses kicked by Six Shot
Autobots flee. Blaming a bolt of plasma energy of all things :roll:

Cons follow them to Nebulos where they are hiding
Autobots get their Asses kicked
All other Cons and Bots engage in final battle on seibertron
Prime deserts his forces and also flees to Nebulos,
Autobots on Seibs get their Asses kicked
Bots put disgusting green men in their heads to gain unfair advantage
Cons even playing field by doing the same but modifying there weapons as well
Autobots get their Asses kicked
Meanwhile on Seibs Ultra Magnus and the Protectobots make their last stand in a cowardly ambush against Galvatron.
Cons with the newly built Scorponok kick Primes and his Bots asses.
Cons go back to Seibertron and save Galvatron
Magnus and Protectobots get their Asses kicked
In a moment of genius Galvatron decides to use the Bot corpses to make a giant rocket engine and take Seibs to Earth.
Prime and surviving Bots on Nebulos steal targetmaster tech
Prime leads them back to Seibs, while playing hero gets everyone caught.
Galvatron activates plasma energy chamber and prepares to leave Earth and Seibs to their fate.
Fort Max shows up and epic battle ensues between Max and Scorponok..
Spike and Cerebros free Prime and bots. They all flee.
Plasma energy is unleashed and throws Cons to safety.
Arcee explodes before your eyes.
Prime and the last surviving Bots get Asses owned by plasma energy
In a truly beautiful moment a dying Prime proclaims “Autobots all gone, up to you squishy human…Vector Sigma promised a miracle “

I don’t really know what happens next but I assume the sun explodes and rids the galaxy of Humans and Autobots forever. The End.

Did i mention the Autobots took an Ass whooping of epic magnitude?
