It's one of those moving setting threads. I should've posted an OOC when I posted the landing sequence.

In any case, feel free to post in the Autobot City thread, just mark your location tag as "Ark-22" if they're still inside the ship. We'll go back to the Ark-22 solar system thread whenever it happens to launch again.

Should I make a new character post?

If so what do we need more Autobots or Deceptions?

Welcome back. It happens.

Since Subjugator was already approved and is a fanmade, you can just re-start up with them if you like. If you want a new fanmade, just toss up an app and if you want a canon, feel free to poke around the character roster list. If you see someone available or NPC, feel free to toss up an app for them. If you have any questions about character possibilities or how to get rolling, feel free to PM me directly.

always (but I am.biased, and actually we seem to not have as many 'Bot characters active. But 'Cons are cooler anyways)

Then I may as well jump back in with Subjugator

Welcome (back?) Venomsnek! I'll add Subjugator to the active roster as soon as I get the opportunity

Also, join the side, don't listen to those Decepticon fiends

I have two ideas for a second Autobot aligned character

Either a Junkion RatRod Tow Truck who’s a field medic

Or a Pontiac Fiero named Vaporwave who’s obsessed with retro earth culture

I am not sure if the Junkions have been introduced yet so the second one could work as long as it isn't too much like Jazz.

Did you just call me a friend? I know you didn't call me a friend.

Thems fightin' words!

Sumo's right, Junkions aren't in the game currently, so that'll most likely get a denied stamp from the mods. But if you want to know about any of the current happenings, feel free to hit me up with a PM! I'll be ready to help out whenever I can

Edit: Freq, I'm supposed to be fighting you anyway
Your roster is like 94% Decepticon, and I deus vult for the Autobots, lol

The horror!

Sneaks behind ctrlFrequency and snatches the fusion cannon.

"Hmm, what happens if I turn this knob here and tighten this bolt here?"

Watches as the fusion cannon starts to overload and tosses it as far away as possible while taking cover.

I was trying to make it a fair fight but I guess you all like the big guns.


On a serious note, game related, has anyone seen the Autobot Pretenders (Cloudburst, Landmine, Waverider, Groundbreaker, Sky High, Splashdown, Chainclaw, Gunrunner, Metalhawk...so forth) in game? I know ctrlFrequency has most if not all the Con Pretenders under her thumb. Eventually the Bots will develop some form of shell even if it is a proto-form.

None of those characters are in the game, Metalhawk is a Japan character so he wouldn't be there anyway. I know I asked one of the mods (can't remember who) about pretenders and they said it'd be a while from now, so I'd leave it to them for that kind of stuff.

Edit: Gunrunner exists but he's not a pretender.

Hey! They're not under my thumb! :-p (okay, I guess I do )

In all fairness (to me), MSB has Finback and I think Octopunch, and Stranglehold has no player. Skully, Bugly, and Snarler are NPCs and I would actually give Carn to someone who wanted him. Carn grew on me, but I would give him to anyone who really wanted him

I was actually hoping someone would pick up the Autobot Pretenders. That way I can have epic Japanese Pretender battles with Vampy, Skully and 'Rauder.


Technically none of our Pretenders are Pretenders, so I specifically avoid calling them that in game. I just collected them.all up and stuck them together

All right.. so.. since it was pointed out that 94% of my roster was 'Cons (I argue that, I say 99% ) I was looking over the 'Bots to see if I could find my interest in someone else.

To be honest, the only 'Bots I ever liked was Perceptor and Blurr. I was always 'meh' about the rest (though I like Nautica, I don't think I could play her properly).

Now, I usually prefer sneakier types of characters, more special ops (being why my roster is full of snipers, spies, and Feedback and Blackout) with assassins being my favorite of the bunch.

With the exception of spies, the occasional sorta sniper, and scouts like Cliffjumper (not interested in Cliff) I can't think of any sneaky, stabby Aurobots.

Soooo... Can anyone think of any? I figure I'm missing an obscure one.

If not I can always see if I have a fan made buried on Google Drive... I'd rather go Canon at the moment, but if I have, I can fanmade it.

Edit: remembered the obscure one I figured I was missing https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Stiletto_(BW) but that would be like making a fanmade almost (though I like the name...)

The problem with your request, ctrlFrequency, is usually the special ops for Bots are a bit different than Cons. I know Jazz and Bumblebee have done special ops but both are currently being played. Punch\Counterpunch is a deep special ops who is also being played.
