Hey, quick couple of questions...

Saw that Bludgeon is going in as infiltration team on LV-117... Gotta say groovey

First, anyone else besides my characters going? The more the merrier of course, though that group can totally handle it, be far more fun with others.

Second, is there any sort of of general layout for Jhiaxus place? I don't want to make things complicated by taking liberties I shouldn't

Could Laserbeak and Soundwave slow it down a little bit in the Mars thread so that Roddy and I have a chance to finish before you come in and end the thread? Feedback is about to get communications on line.

We don't exactly want Starscream to become locked up in an Autobot ship or taken back to the Decepticons in chains for pretty much faction treason, so probably not. I'm not a mod though.

Who is we?

I meant we as in anyone interested in what happens with Starscream and Ironhide. Specifically myself. Anyways, sorry for that comment. That was out of line. Just kinda upset right now.

Okay... Exploring further... I was tasked with getting a distress signal off to the Bots and Cons. That's what I am doing. I am not locking up anyone anywhere and what happens when they get picked up is entirely in the air and not decided yet.

But at least I can have the ability to play my characters, yes?

That’s up to Bludgeon. He can have his pick amongst lower-ranked characters to take with him.

No general layout. Just used our imaginations and played it by ear the first time around. Will probably do the same here. I’ll do some setup descriptions in future posts that can be built off of.

Thank you Sid. I'll keep things vague enough

Man, things got hectic for me and I frankly forgot about posting here. So sorry.

Edit: So, Patchwork hasn't really done much in a while so is it safe to assume he was offscreen scrounging for parts and assessing what's left working on the ship after he administered first aid to everyone? And then I guess he just went his own way and starting looking for anything of use like the old crazy packrat he is. Beside he's not much of a fighter or scout, so I'd say it make sense he stayed behind for now, no?

Sounds good to me!

All right, well, assuming Patchwork mostly 'did his thing' while the others were doing their own thing, he should be about ready to finally do some work on Thunderclash, even if the guy originally said he didn't want/need it. Plus there's just something a bit funny in all this, gotta admit: Thunderclash is kind of a deliberate gary-stu-ace-what-a-guy-type (but hey, it works! ) and I made Patchwork to be as mundane and as average as possible. Like if he had been an actual character during G1, he would have been kind of a D-list Autobot Car I think.

Yeah that’s kinda the joke the Thunderclash haha. It’s fun tho.

Well yes, Euro G1 characters do kind of suffer from being either super-duper-ultra-heroic or super-duper-ultra-evil, don't they?

Or... background characters.

Meant mostly their tech specs. Those who had them, really.

Feedback's distress signal is out.

I put the message in both current Autobot ships' thread and the Thanatos thread, but I am not sure which would be the proper Autobot Earth thread so I just left it at the ships in orbit.

Hey guys. I'm kicking around picking up Brawn and Windcharger for NPCs and was wondering where they'd be to help decide/ideas.

Oh Marcus will be overjoyed that someone picked up Brawn, haha. Let's see. Both of them are probably Earth bots.

A half crazy old guy with power tools playing 'Operation' on one of the most decorated Autobot leaders. Almost sounds like a horror story waiting to happen.

Sounds like fun times to me.

And yes I will keep referring to Patchwork as a 'Mad man with power tools' because that's what he is.

Awesome, thansk! I do aim to please.

So, I gotta ask: would it be too 'meme-ey' or 'lolrandumb' if I tried to apply frickin' Nitro Zeus as a custom character?

I don't see why not. If you adapt him right.

Well I would certainly try to flesh him out a bit more to have him at least more in line with a hypothetical Budiansky-written '80 tech spec. That's my benchmark for if a character works or not, at least to me: they need to have been something which could have plausibly existed in the old '80 toyline even if the version in the RP would be the modernized version. Not sure if I'm making sense here.
