Leaning towards Hook then. Not sure if I want to play three arguing brains. I'll brainstorm a fan-made later maybe. :CON:

Flywheel only has two personalities, not three. I find the dual alt mode sort of fun to play and almost wish Battle Trap and Flywheel could flop halves but with the second personality for Flywheel it would not work.

Ah the way it's written on his profile it sounds like there is the original spark's mind then each of the composite parts have a lesser brain that argues with the other while the original personality plays the moderator.

The primary personality is Flywheels while the other is the secondary. I'm not sure if it was ever decided on where each personality resided in the respective alt modes.

Hmmm. Fair enough. But I think as much as I like the idea of a kinda/sorta triplechanger I'll work up something for hook. Then at some point I'll be head and shoulders above the lesser transformers. hehe

They are very easy to get approved since almost everyone has an pre-approved app. All you have to do is write up a convincing sample post proving you understand the character and where we are in the story..


Don't listen to Sumo on the gestalts... Pretenders are where it's at! Who doesn't want to be on a team with me! (None of you answer that... not one of you!!!! :-D ) since Drop Bear left me with no Iguanus.... *sniffles* the Vampire has no one to adore him.

Welcome Judge Chuckachu! :D

Sumo's pretty spot on with the advice. Just about any special teams are a great place for new players to start. You've got a supportive team base usually made up of multiple players, and canons all have profiles made up alright, so you just use those. I'd definitely recommend one of them. :D

Oh, by the by, signatures aren't allowed in RPG forums. Slowly page loading speed for people, you understand. Just turn it off when posting in here. *nod*

But... Long Haul wasn't poisoned... He was too careless to read the Liquid Nitrogen label on the cup Scavenger passed him, who in turn thought it was energon.

Ok then, Bonecrusher THINKS he's poisoned. Longhaul is having one hell of a tummy ace right now still tho. I don't have to edit my post because it's just Bonecrusher talking about what he thinks is going on. Also when Bonecrusher says that he had a drop of the same stuff in his energon earlier, it was because someone played a prank on him.

Lol of course! Thanks for the info! Lol yep, Bonecrusher jumping the gun is what he does best. XD Bonecrusher told Mixmaster to examine the contents of that liquid, so Mixmaster should be able to tell what's going on.

And we are now officially in the holiday season. So everyone will need to be cut some slack in regards to posting. It happens every year for as long as I've played this particular game or been in other RPGs. It's the nature of the beast. Things won't grind to a complete halt, but replies will be slower in coming from a number of people.
