A classification system for Transformers

Postby TheTheoretician » Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:40 am

Hi y´all and happy holidays!

I am still new on this forum, but I´d like to share something with you that I have been working on for the past few weeks... I like to classify and sort stuff, and thus I have attempted to come up with a system for doing so for Tranformers. While it would be too lengthy to illustrate here, please refer to my blog:

http://tftheoretician.wordpress.com/201 ... nsformers/

We can discuss it here, however! I don´t claim that this would be useful in any way, it is just my way of having fun with thinking about TF´s... But I´d like to share and see what you think, any comments are welcome!

Also, Happy New Year in advance!

Cheers,

Theoretician

Bots :/

Anyhow, this was a really cool read, thanks for sharing! When I'm not half-dead from the flu I need to remember to actually write out my longer thoughts on it, but for now the bed is calling, not the keyboard.

This is a really interesting read, and well thought out.

It's got me actually looking through your blog for other interesting reads in the same vein.

Have you thought about where bots who make up multiple alt modes, or mutliple bots who make up a single alt-mode would fall into these catories? e.g. Overlord, Battletrap, Flywheels, Reflector, etc.

Hi, thanks for the nice comments! :D

To be honest, I have not thought about where to put robots like the ones you talk about, but as I am writing I am getting ideas... You just inspired me to carry this on a little further... ;)

Hope you find other stuff on the blog interesting as well! :D
