We haven't had one of these in a while, so I figure it's a tad overdue. The always popular, "featured character" post, where a member of the mod team points out a few characters that are available that could use a fresh player.
One of the things we often hear in any RPG is that it's difficult to get started. And it is, I know. I've been on the vet and newbie side of the coin enough times to know. One good thing about these characters is that each of them are involved in board material and their future player can immediately jump into the goings on and ride the wave.
So, off we go!
Autobots:Jazz--One of Optimus Prime's most trusted and one of the key Autobot command figures throughout the war, but especially now with the Autobots attempting to integrate themselves with Earth, protect it from the Decepticons and keep human casualties to a minimum.
Bumblebee--Poor Bumblebee. This guy gets frequently underestimated both by Decepticons as well as potential players. He is another of Optimus Prime's inner circle and should always have a hand in any Autobot storyline activities.
Sunstreaker--The egotistical brother of Sideswipe, who's no slouch in the ego department himself. For as many 'bots who think he might actually be a sociopathic Decepticon, Sunstreaker has come through for the Autobots enough times to be amongst Autobot high command's cadre of most valuable fighters. He's currently helping establish Autobot City on Earth and keep it safe from prying, Decepticon optics.
Slag--One of the Autobot combat elite, the irritable Slag is always ready for a fight, even if it's with his own commander. Right now, he's in the midst of a brawl with the Predacons, the Stunticons, the Constructicons and a few others. Even so, he's probably the happiest he's been in a while!
The Protectobots: With the storm of a large battle drawing closer and closer to Earth, the Autobots need all the defensive roles filled that they can get. Hotspot and his team will fill critical infrastructure both now and in the future and with the creation of Superion, Defensor will be on the horizon.

Decepticons:
Tantrum--Speaking of the Predacons, one in particular could use some love in the form of the gruff bullmech. The Predacons have been deeply involved in the plotting of this game for as long as I've been a part of it. Writing one of them is always a easy way to get rolling on the game.
Wildrider--The Stunticons are Menasor right now, so writing this guy will give you a chance to co-write a gestalt. That alone is pretty fun, as I enjoy doing it on several teams and have always found gestalt teams to be fun writing. Moreover, when they break apart again at some point, you get to run wild! Just be careful of Motormaster.
All of these characters should have profiles already posted in the game and accepted, so applying for them is as simple as tossing up one of those profiles in the app thread. Don't worry about a sample post, if we need one, we'll ask.
Keep an eye out for more opportunities as not only the storm of battle brews on Earth, but we prepare to give Cybertron a new storyline of its own.
it was going to happen sooner or later, it just happened 3 months sooner than I hoped. To be honest, it probably is a good thing as I was so stressed out (my boss liked to threaten to fire people. Every day she was telling us we weren't doing anything right, she was going to fire us. We had one guy who quit his first week on the job and stood in the middle of the office and let loose on what an awful person she was)
