The Autobots are about to blast off in Iacon, and the Decepticons aren't far behind in Polyhex. I'd imagine once we get around to getting to orbit, the actual transwarp business will be as easy as moving from one city to another. Then the usual space battle and crash into Mt. St. Hillary can happen.

But there's no Space Bridge handy, so the likelyhood is that the characters already chosen will be the only ones on Earth for some time to come. If you're interested in them, I'd keep an eye on the characters that have been selected and see if they become available.

The stunticons are going, and they could still use Drag Strip.

Sounds fun, and I've got one more canon space left Can't find his profile though... anyone know where it is?

If Drag Strip hasn't been played until now, then it's unlikely he has a profile here. In that case you're better off reconstructing the tech specs from this site's Vector Sigma database, or tfu.info or a similar site.

Ok, I've heard the mayhem attack squad might be assembled. Could we get a list of members that are still neeeded?

Sure thing. It's basically the names I didn't bold when I posted if I were, and am still correct.

The list of canon members are as following:
Carnivac, Catilla, Flywheels, Needlenose, Snarler, Spinister, and Stranglehold.

Sweet! But does this mean that Chop Shop will have to isolate himself from the other insecticons? I could easily work in a reason for him to do that if I have to.

I'm interested to see where this goes

I'm not sure how the command will handle Chop Shop, honestly.
He is in the MAS, but he's also an insecticon. What takes priority is out of my hands, really.

Honeslty, I'd wait and see what orders come for Chop Shop.

Bugly just made recommendations. It's up to command who makes it in the MAS, who leads, or if the MAS is even made.

As it is, I don't see the Mayhems working. Over half of the team isn't being played and the Insecticons are busying doing their own things. It would have been better if this had been discussed with the mods more before being introduced into the game.

I'm sorry.

If it does generate interest and more members are played, maybe the team could be assembled without the insecticons for now?

Venom might want the oppertunity to join to help get his revenge.

If the idea is shot down, I'll understand.

I can also go back to the post, and delete the proposal of the MAS alltogether if it's what the mods want?

For the Ark-13 crew, should we post in Nova Cronum next then put it in the Earth thread?

We jsut need to pick up the Aerialbots and Broadside, then we're off. Am I responsible for moving it along since I'm piloting the Ark?

In regards to the MAS, it sounds right up Venom's alley. Maybe Chop shop should be taken off the list. It would work a little bit later on it would work.

Also, Who's going to be going to earth so far in terms of 'Cons? I already know about the Thanatos, (One of my guys is on it.) but what other ships are going?

For now, no other ships from either side. Infiltration is by nature a small-unit operation. But don't worry, there'll be other events to keep the rest of the Transformers busy in days to come.

Great, now, I'm scared... Can you give us a hint?

And ruin the surprise?

Oh God, it looks like we have another "He is coming" deal

In regards to MAS, there's no reason why the whole team would have to be assembled at once. I would actually prefer taking the time to give each member a reason to join. If that means they all join at different times then so be it.

As for Chop Shop, I can see him being rather torn about joining MAS vs. staying loyal to the insecticons but I wouldn't take him off the list just yet. Chop Shop has repeatedly expressed concern over having Venom as an enemy. I can see Chop Shop joining MAS if only so he can keep a closer eye on Venom and possibly get back into his good graces. Also, MAS might want to have a spy in the insecticon ranks. After what the insecticons did, most commanders would probably want to keep a closer eye on them and I somehow doubt that that's particularly easy to do.

So even if Chop Shop can't join the MAS yet, I would not object to his being in it at some point. That is, if we have MAS at all...

On a different matter, how powerful are the Thanatos's scanners? Could they pick up the Ark-13?

Sorry for my absence, but I just have one question.

Who're the guys going to the Great Observatory?

If more players take up the members of the MAS it will get more consideration, but as it is now less than half of them are being played. There are also some plans for the Insecticons, minus Venom assuming he still remains an outcast.

The Technobots I believe, but you might want to double check.

Also, are you going to be able to post regularly? You have a tendency to disappear for long periods of time with no warning. We have plans for Jetfire and we need a dependable player for him.

JaAm wrote:On a different matter, how powerful are the Thanatos's scanners? Could they pick up the Ark-13?

Yes, it would not be a problem especially as the distance between them is not that great in terms of spaceship travel.

Awesome. When does it take off?

Also, I'm going out on a limb here and guess that you guys bringing in The Fallen?

I'll be good from now on.

Hey gang. For anyone involved in the Polyhex battle right now, I'm going to wait until there are a few more posts before I resolve the shots fired by Bluestreak at Thundercracker. Didn't want to monopolize the action.
