Ok guys, I need your help with something

I've created for the cons a unique altclass called the walker vehicle. It has tactics Fireblast/Charge/Catch. I'm trying to think of something equally unique for the Autobots but I'm pulling a blank. Max/Preds have several unique classes between themselves so I'm not too worried.

pedatank?

moped?

police tank?

How about 'stryker' class?

Features:
Capable of speeds up to 62 mph
Light enough to be transportable by C-130, C-5, C-141, and C-17 aircraft
Basic frame can be configured into ten variants with different mission requirements
Commonality of parts cuts down on maintenance
Centralized tire inflation and deflation system helps vehicle adjust to different terrain

Then there is the Cougar-H MRAP Vehicle

As for their specalties, something along the line of point defense, anti-air, avoid?

On another topic, if you need ideas for aircraft, ground vehicles, ships and subs, I humbly recommend

And seriously; for a Fireblast/Charge/Catch altmode:

Gadget class possibly? Encompassing things like PDAs, ipods, watches etc. Unsure of the tactics though. Gosh, aren't i helpful!

Gerwalkers! awesome!

Walkers, eh? Tanks, fast tanks, skimmers, walkers?

Seriously, skimmer might be a good idea. Think of the jetbikes things in Star Wars, WH40K Eldar Vipers, etc.

OMEGA SUPREME Class alt
or Guardian class alt or Gestalts
with [Fireblast/Absorb/Charge]or[Charge/Absorb/Fireblast]

Junkticon alt [Catch/Charge/Repair]

FEM BOT class alt Avoid/Anti-Air/Stealth
FEM CON class alt Avoid/Strafe/Stealth

could even do tripple changers like this
Strafe,RAM,Avoid--if you could have it change to plane/tank/robot,when doing certain actions/tactics,(have more than one alt to transform into,with set tactics)like the Judge changes face's to preform different tactics.

don't get me started

by **Pariah** » Sun Aug 05, 2007 5:38 pm

Junkticons sounds good..... Absorb/Repair/Catch

or something

They already have a Gadget class listed. Cons will be getting Gizmo's.

I guess the Predacons will be getting Whatsits, and the Maximals will get Flipperflappers...

And obviously we'll need fridge. Energon tastes so much better at 4 degrees.

You all know... what this game needs as an alt mode is......

..... a KEGERATOR!!!!
with the unique kegstand team attack

by **Waylander** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 6:00 pm

added some more ideas,

OMEGA SUPREME Class alt
or Guardian class alt or Gestalts
with [Fireblast/Absorb/Charge]or[Charge/Absorb/Fireblast]
most are slow,dumb,strong,and love hand to hand battle.

Junkticon alt [Catch/Charge/Repair] (motorcycle alt)

FEM BOT class alt Avoid/Anti-Air/Stealth (small car/land-animal alt)
FEM CON class alt Avoid/Strafe/Stealth (small jet/air-animal alt)

MONSTER land alt [Bite/Fireblast/Charge-or Slash]
MONSTER air ALT [Fireblast/Bite/DROP or slash]

Cassette land animal: [Ram/Avoid/slash](ravage)or [ram/avoid/charge](ramhorn)
2 different types for different class's

Cassette air animal: [Stealth/avoid/fireblast]
most are collect data/spy so stealth/avoid

Cassette robot; [Fireblast/avoid/stealth]
most use hand gun mostly,and are small,so hard to hit,cannot add special attacks most have, so i gave stealth,but maybe someone else could figure a better combo out.

Cassette types could even go father if they had botmodes to pick from,such as puma,hawk,rhino,robot; that picked different class,but that is most likely not going to happen.

could even do tripple changers like this
Strafe/fireblast,RAM,Avoid--if you could have it change to plane/tank/robot,when doing certain actions/tactics,(have more than one alt to transform into,with set tactics)like the Judge changes face's to preform different tactics.

by **Pariah** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 7:02 pm

triple changers eh?

You *could* have 1 tactic assigned to each mode, each selected from the standard lists. This would give you highly customizable characters for, say, an extra outlay in energon and xp?

I'd buy it.

Id replace Fireblast with Strafe, but that's basically what Mkall has given the Gadget class in V2; [Stealth/Avoid/Strafe]

FEM BOT class alt Avoid/Anti-Air/Stealth (small car/land-animal alt)
FEM CON class alt Avoid/Strafe/Stealth (small jet/air-animal alt)

Like the idea of these, but for both id suggest repair as the secondary tactic, as its the only thing most of the fembots/-cons ever did in G1.

Nice thinking!
