I think I'll be good for this next round.

Dude, no one cares. This thread is now all about steve getting wild.

He's had too many sherbert lemons hasn't he?

too many what?

Sherbert lemons dear!

They're sweets.

Also with hard cores.

Sweet. Means I can add a few of those in.

Any specific ones you think should be included?

The illustration for the wookieepedia entry is literally the only appearance in the SW universe. It's an homage by the illustrator and not really a canon appearance. I was just throwing my bit of snark in there.

We like snark. It's enough for me, throw an alien in and we'll include it.

nice, thanks for the ad-note.

also, shout out to Xenos for mentioning the “Alien” xenomprph from the Rogue Squadron comic. that’s about the only other one i can think of that’s not already on the list.

Pretty sure 866 is an Acklay

There was an Acklay alt made, but it isn't in the game. Could probably pass that off as one though, for more alt options

Xenos Prime wrote:Pretty sure 866 is an Acklay

iirc that's definitely Fracshun, from Dragon Booster.

Ah, the alts from that show always throw me for a loop. I'd never heard of it till the last time I was trying to identify alts a few months ago.

It's close enough, cheers XP.

With the limited numbers available, and the rarity of many of them, we'll all have a suspend a bit of disbelief for a few of them.

The question now is, for alt classes not represented on both sides (e.g. bots a have a weapon alt, cons don't), should I look to balance them, or just make the numbers even and not care about class?

ey just even ‘em out, homie. given the usual diversity of team set ups, it doesn’t seem like it would be too big an issue. well, unless a bot really wants a helicopter or a con really wants a weapon...

besides, if we start worrying about “class”, some of your faction’s most active members would be disqualified lol.

anyone know where these come from?
Starfighter class - Incersion Fighter
Spaceship class - Spaceship

You can't spell "class" without "ass."

The 2nd one is Vector Prime

Vector Prime from Galaxy Force/Cybertron, imagine.

Yeah, thats pretty much my plan.

I'll add the alien Xenos suggested as it's a non-vehicle alt and we're seriously lacking in those, but I'll throw the 2 you listed there in as well if I need to make up the numbers.

good deal. cuz the first starfighter resembles a B-Wing and the spaceship resembles Darth Maul’s Infiltratior ship, which is frackin’ awesome.

I can also make the calculator say BOOBIES.

We might want to be careful about what we let 'count as' a Star Wars alt... I mean, if he wanted to, Psych' could easily say THC's alt is a Dorunga (aka the ANH Trash Compactor Monster), or a slug alt was a Hutt...

thanks for the identifications y’all. we can scratch the StarCraft Starfighter one, but yes please keep the Spaceship in the running.

maybe we should make a thread dedicated to identifying alt origins; could be a community project.

Thats actually a really cool idea.

I ave no clue what a bunch of these alts are meant to be.

Maybe we should ask Phasewing to start that one.. as she's made so many she can probably ID a good number of them?

those would all be good ideas, actually. given it follows the same rules as the old school alt hunts, meaning the bio is there to explain what it is. the colors are all there to make it work, too.

i’d love to hunt Jabba lol. i hear he’s got some newly acquired carbonite upholstery in the likeness of some missing ‘bots. could just be a rumor though.

I'd like to include as many alts as possible so tentative suggestions like those could still fit.
