The Energon Pub

MUSHing. You may have heard of it, you may not. Its a form of online Roleplay that really has the best of both worlds - it is in real time, so you can interact with people and play around them, and it is text based with different rooms, characters, commands, weapons etc.


There's still lots of MUSHes about, but if you want a Transformers one with more than 3 people on it, you'll want to play on 2k5. Its the oldest Transformer RPG still running (13 years strong) and still as good as ever. It's set post (original) movie, so you don't get Optimus Prime (DON'T CRY) but you do get Wheelie (I used to play Wheelie! :v:)


We have a wiki you can look at for information at http://transformers2005.wikia.com

Type ++avail for a list of all available characters!


There are currently several levels of characters. You can apply for a feature character. Alternately you can make up your OWN character (how exciting is that!) You can transform and everything!

Applying for characters can be scary and hard. Luckily some characters are app free (These come under AFC on ++avail) to help you get a foothold on the MUSH. That is, if you want, you can automatically get one. You can be Gears or Eject or Ratbat!

So starting couldn't be easier! Give it a go today!
