Well while waiting for Venom's reply I guess I should come up with a new decepticon.

Any ideas for something not done yet?

Go for another canon! There're plenty still available.

This makes me think that I should put up another shameless solicitation...(rubs chin in thought)

*looks at a picture for the hub on the side of the page* I dunno I'm thinking Rainbow Dash would be a pretty cool Decepticon

I dunno I always find that when you write for a character of someone else you always end up out of character or write out your fantasy's for that character.

An internet critic named Linkara gave a really good example in one episode for a writer having Deathstroke in an issue of... some comic.

Where as normally Deathstroke is tactical, moving around, taking advantage of the surroundings. In this he was basically over powered somehow.. I mean at one point to stop A green lantern all he did was place his hand over the ring and the explanation was "My will is stronger."

I don't want to make that sort of mistake.

Understandable. However, the canons played in this RPG are mostly an amalgamation of the original G1 cartoons and the IDW comics. So there is a bit of leeway when it comes to the characteristics and personalities of the characters.

Y'know Slipstream is technically cannon it'd be a great way to have a

Egomantic lying brown nose running around.

Heh. She's already being played.

Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:24 pm

I was rather hoping I was being clever with that one.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Let me ask you something: what kind of character are you looking to play...personality wise I mean?

Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:32 pm

Well I liked what I was doing with Rust Cut trying to make a sympathatic mad scientist who is still well.. Completely bonkers and should not be trusted what so ever but.. hmm.

I'd like to play someone incredibly manipulative with a silver tongue. I figured Slipstream since well I could sum her up as female starscream..

Can I be lulzy and go for an "epic trap" or would that be considered too adult?

Well, you could always go for an Autobot! *wink wink, nudge nudge* ... Say no more! :lol:

Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:55 pm

I will if I can keep the hilarity of my drag queen concept

I would say that it's not only too adult it's also twisted...Twisted I like, but that's just me.

So yeah, we'll have none of that.

Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:06 pm

Yeah, I think we might get too much of that thing from all that fan stuff on deviantART. *shudder* If you want to remain unscarred, don't search "transformers i hate you" on deviantArt. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:07 pm

Aaaw~ well I`ll admit I got the idea from the animated Dragstrip.

Next random idea!

Concept! A corrupt autobot of sorts?

OH! I have an alright idea! Does anyone have a random character in their back story of one of their fanmade characters?

Well in my sample post on Nebulos with Nightbeat, there was a Decepticon Spy named Steampunk. Or disguised as Steampunk, that is. He ended up stabbing someone who found one of his powder-bombs with a Plasma knife that he clumsily stored in his pocket.

Or you could go with Siren or Minerva. Nightbeat and Hosehead are lonely! (They are also fleeing the Insecticons.)

Come to think of it... A fan-made named Steampunk that transforms into an old Automobile/train that was in a museum exhibit might be pretty neat...

I will post soon. I have some free time (Possibly) this weekend.

Thu Jun 21, 2012 12:09 pm

Well maybe. I`ll look up a few comic issues featuring Siren and read his tfwiki page a couple of times.

Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:35 pm

Vulkan, I may have a few...

Well, Umbra, an Autobot of mine used to have a Decepticon friend who "died." He fell to his death in the backstory, but you know. He could have survived. If you're interested, take a peek at Umbra's profile for more information.

Anyway, best of luck to you finding a character that suits you!

I'm going to try and start convincing my brain that my weekend begins on Thursday night.

To that end, gonna get some posting done and have some refreshments along the way

I've tried to do that, myself. Unfortunately, I still have to get up on Friday morning to go to work, which ruins the entire illusion.

I'm facing that same dilemma.

But it's gonna work, dammit! :lol:

I got a Autobot mech named Cruiser, a Decepticon femme named Windreaper (although, I think I'd like to keep her to myself for now), and an unnamed Autobot femme who transforms into some type of small plane. (She's NOT an Aerialbot) She kinda a fly-girl.

And #Sideways#, don't get your hopes up, but I read Siren's profile, and I liked what I read.

Oh, and I was in a play where I got my head chopped off. YAY!

Fri Jun 22, 2012 6:15 pm

Nah I'm just going to pick up on Swindle I guess. But thanks you guys.
