So how many of my former Maximals\MDF (Maximal Defense Force) do I have playing here? I see a few of my former AWC members but not many. I know many of us had retired from the game for whatever the reason. In my heart I will always be a Maximal which is why I will almost always use animal alt modes.

I wasn't playing at the time of the MDF or AWC... However, the sentiment regarding being a Maximal at heart, rather than an Autobot, is very real. I always use animal alt modes and am normally referred to as a Maximal even if the programming doesn't allow the allegiance. It doesn't need to be an option in order to be one by choice.

So I welcome you back, my fellow Maximal! It's good to have you here!

Out of Curiosity, are you considering reviving your MDF?

while i’m not a Maximal, around half of my original team is made up of beasts. i haven’t touched their bios in ages but the story is that the Quints didn’t create the Trans-Organics. They were already there when those squiggly bastards crash landed on Cybertron, and they were completely unprepared for the subsequent planet-wide holocaust of their entire species. and you know what they say... the victors write the history.

anyway, there haven’t been any Maximal Defense Force guys around in at least 10 years... perhaps you have a floppy disk or scroll or cuneiform tablet laying around with contact information for the rest of the geezers hahah

You laugh but I actually did keep track of them at one time. The big question is do I still have the file or did I erase it.

i’m just laughing at the visual of you guys chiseling your holonet addresses onto a slab of proto-parchment lol. hopefully you kept it, though. it’d be an enormous score, even if it yields no returnees.

I was a Maximal after the last reset. Of course I was also a Predacon before that, and a Con before that, and a bot before that... Funny how things went full circle. lol

New Maximal here. :MAXIMAL:

Having been inspired by Wingz and sumo's teams, I made the decision--the right decision--to turn Maximal. After all, I did grow up on Beast Wars, and gosh darn it, did I love that show.

It took me too long to pick the right faction. Shame on me.

I like it! Welcome, WELCOME! :KREMZEEK:

Also, loving those names! :lol:

Are you planning any bios with them?

Thanks, Wingz. ^_^

That’s the plan, yeah. I have something of an idea about each of them, but I need to sit down and start scribbling away, otherwise I’ll never have any bios for them.

Awesome! I look forward to reading them! ;)^

Mine are a very, very slow work in progress :lol:

I'm more into concept art than I am writing, so my bios are in outdated shambles XD Basically a bunch of stuff thrown together so Sustain would have an idea of how to write them in the CFC stories.

Currently, I'm trying to learn how to do basic digital coloring so that I can color the two concept pictures of Nightwing and the one of Steelsong I've made before moving on to the others, though I know I should really just take the time to finish the bios first.

If I may ask, why do you only run 10 characters? I've seen a few others do the same, so I'm legitimately curious as to why. I love having 12 and would make more if I could :lol:
