Skids has been getting some love in the comics here recently. You never know!

He's not quite how I would have pictured him to be from his tech spec profile, but hey, that's the joy of having some creative license.

But yes, there's a rich assortment of characters that are either outright available or just NPC'd, so browse away if the muse is so inclined. :grin:

Have an idea for combiners, each component that the person controls offers that they combine. Once the transformers combine, each person can control said combiner until the leader of whatever group decides to end it.

How ever is Backstreet free?
I wonder if could him justice.

Combiners will not be introduced for a very long time.

That was a typo I meant do him justice!
For those of you who don't remember backstreet is the Autobot who can melt you! He has heat ray beams built in his head lights

Wed Mar 21, 2012 4:23 pm

Yes, he from Marvel G1 and has at least toy!

eh...sounds ok, but if you are looking for permission to play a Canon (pre existing character already established in the fandom) you still have to post up a profile in this topic where all chatacters are posted, and when I mean all I mean BOTH Canon roster, and fanmade characters.

Wed Mar 21, 2012 7:40 pm

Don't take it personally Gokol, we've just had a few trying cases here in the last few weeks.

I think its the new default setting, if it doesn't work, blame 'Sid :lol:

Especially considering he's the only person not involved in what's going on in Thanatos Med-bay

Its his own fault for rejoining the staff. We're bad people, regardless of what part of the site we're responsible for. :lol:

I can't think of a Background for my Super Sadist Interrogator. Whose hobbies include Bloodshed, Bloodshed, and more Bloodshed and looks like a Horror movie killer turned into Decepticon. Which is ironic since I refuse to watch Horror. *yawns*

I'm pretty sure I can think of a couple if you fancy a hand... :twisted:

Wed Mar 21, 2012 8:59 pm

I don't mind a hand while eating dinner and related stuff I thought of some potential history, but it's not very detailed except for his old form. He used to be a Decepticon experiment in make a Gigantic Killing machine and had no life outside being a Weapon of the Decepticons, but he was way to costly to use, so he was deemed a failed experiment and megatron found it would be waste to kill him some on earth he was Reformated and put to new use as an interrogator who specialized in Blood Shed . He can also shed oil, but doesn't effect his special abiliies in any way. and like killing non machines more because he has a personal preference to seeing Blood rather then Oil fly all over the place. He used to use the Name Shredder because in his old form he was nothing more then two massive Chain saws made out of Tank treads like material. The chain saws grinded up almost anyone caught in there path, but these were all nameless nobobodies and he never killed anyone of any real strength or fame(Infamy included), but still he did a lot of what called Weeding back then. That was when ever Megatron could afford to use him. How is that so far?

So far, I'd say I want whatever you just had for dinner... :lol:

Looks like you already have it pretty well planned out, not sure how the oil shedding would work, but it's a cool idea. The only things to remember here are the setting (loosely IDW universe based so involving earth may be a bit confusing) and for a history like that, and my namesake is remarkably similar, it's a good idea to find those who play the characters relevant to your story - in your case (Sid)Shockwave/(Dev)Thunderwing/whoever created the experiment part of you as they can help flesh out the details.

Naturally the staff here (I'm an alien here as I'm staff from a different game) will give you good suggestions but it looks like you have everything you need, now you just have to work it all up into a bio.

And I even remembered my sig this time Em! lol

Wed Mar 21, 2012 9:30 pm

Mashpotatos, Lots of Gravy, Sodium of the Garlic Variety and 3 Steaks of the Stal...how ever you kind it. Anyway I am not sure which Scientist I should use though? Who would be likely to create a Decepticon with Chainsaw for a left hand? XD Oh, and special abilities to encourage blood shed. All the weapons work said ability and is rather impossible with out them?
Can we get a staff in on this conversation then?
Edit: I am not sure what my character's range would be?

News Credits: 42 · Wed Mar 21, 2012 9:45 pm

Sounds like the sort of thing Mal Practice would have created (shameless self promotion of custom character)

The staff are all here, they'll read this over the next day or so, but the best thing to do is write it up how you imagine it and post the application, then they'll work with you from there to put you on the right track as they know the game backwards and we only see the end result.
