You can create a fanmade. Now I have a question; are you still intersted in Bumblebee?

Also, please post any questions about the RPG in the chatterbox next time.

Bumblebee

Allegiance: Autobots
Function: Espionage
Alt. mode: Dodge Challenger
Weapons: Laser Pistol and small ice sword.(Like Optimuses but blue and very cold.)
Height: 15ft / 4.6m
Special Abilities: Enhanced optic sensors, low fuel consumption
Quote: "The least likely can be the most dangerous."

Intelligence: 8
Dexterity: 7
Speed: 4

Rank: 7

Appearance: In vehicle mode Bumblebee is an 1970s Dodge Challenger that is painted a bright yellow and black top. In robot mode Bumblebee is shorter then the average Autobot due to the fact that he is a minibot and stands about twice the height of an average human male. His arms and legs are coloured black, and his head has a pair of horns on either side as a defining feature and his face is silver.

Bumblebee's holomatter avatar appears to be a young woman in her early twenties, with long red hair and in excellent physical shape.

Profile: Bumblebee is an intelligent, brave and eager Autobot despite his small size and relative lack of strength. However, this 'Bot has learned long ago to over come his weaknesses and use his strengths to his advantage and this effort has enabled him to become a prominent spy in the Autobot ranks. Because of his small size he is and relative unthreatening appearance he is able to infiltrate Decepticon operations and to sneak out with out begin caught. However, sometimes Bumblebee's eagerness to achieve his objectives can land him in tough spots to get out of requiring his comrades to rescue him.

Abilities: As he can get up to 1.8 times more use out of a unit of fuel than the next most efficient Autobot, Bumblebee is often called upon at times of low energy resources. His visual acuity rates tops of all Autobots: he can spot a 10" x 10", object at a distance of 48 miles on a clear day. His adaptability to water environments makes him particularly important in undersea reconnaissance and salvage operations.

Weaknesses: Bumblebee is physically the weakest of the Autobots and the most easily damaged. His stealth more than compensates for this liability.


Sample Post(Note I talk in third person hope you guys dont mind.): Bumblee identifiedthe target decepticon. It was a UPS truck when in vehicle mode. "Optimus, I've identified the Decepticon,it seems as he is some time of minor leader here in New York. I'll update you on what I find out later." He said through his caller. He transformed into the yellow challenger and blended in with the Taxi's that took up all of the cities roads.

He saw the decepticon transformer into an alley way. "Did you find the autobot yet?" He heard the Decepticon say.
"No sir, we are having a slight problem with dodging the humans. I have never seen such impatient and angry life beings anywhere." Bumblebee heard another voice.

Suddenly the decpeticon saw bumblebee sitting and there decided to attack. Bumblee panicked, the decepticon was about as tall as 35 ft. He was 15 ft, he decided to try and hold his ground and protect the humans as they panicked and ran around the city. He took out his sword and climbed up on top of the decepticon and butchered his face. The decepticon shot him, which sent him flying back.

He shot the decepticon's butchered face which sent the decepticon flying to the ground. He then, slowly planted his sword into the Decepticon's heart. He noticed on the decepticon's hand lay a hologram caller, he saw a small bot watching him. "Get a good look?" He said and then busted the caller.

"Maybe being big isn't always best. I haven't fought like that since the war for Cybertron." Bumblebee said happily. He was glad he still had some moves even though he is more of the weakling.


You have taken some unusual liberties with Bumblebee that vary quite a bit from the standard canon. I don't recall any version of Bumblebee turning into a 1970s Dodge challenger. How about we stick with the traditional Volkswagen Beetle. He has never used any kind of sword, let alone an ice sword, whatever that is exactly. Your sample post is not quite up to the standards we usually set. I would strongly advise taking a look at the RPG summary and history as linked in my sig and then check out a few posts, particularly those by the staff, to get an idea of the type of writing we are looking for. It also always a good idea to run your stuff through a spelling and grammar checker to catch any misspellings or awkward phrasings.

As another note, in the game Bumblebee is currently being rebuilt from heavy damage taken so he won't be able to be immediately played.

Sample Post(Note I talk in third person hope you guys dont mind.): Bumblebee transformed into the beetle and drove alongside the enemy bot. The enemy bot's holomattter looked at Bumblebee's holomatter. "Feeling lucky Autobot?" He heard the decepticon say. "Yup!" Bumblebee said and he hit the brakes and turned around.

The decepticon was on his tail, he tried to shake him but he couldn't. He transformed into the go-bot and quickly ran in a dark alley way. He identified the Decepticon as it transformed, "Yes! Just what I needed." Bumbelee gladly said, for his mission was to find out who was this decepticon. His name was John Decepticon(Fake Name). Then Bumblebee set out a large flash grenade. After that he transformed and drove away

I think you should check out more in game posts and read up a bit more on the history and setting of the game as can be found in my sig. Your sample post isn't really up to what we are looking for.

Motto: "If you don't like someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If you still don't like them, who cares? You're a mile away and you have there shoes!"
Weapon: Electro Magnetizer
Name: Tektric
Allegiance: Decepticon.

Function: Engineer

Alt. mode: Blue and silver F-35 Military jet

Weapons: Main weapon: Electric staff (good for electrocuting when needed and repair.) Secondary weapons are two small flamethrowers

Special Abilities: Has a drone that is made by him. The drone can create a temporary cloaking shield around him. Robot Mode flight capabilities.

Height: 18 feet tall

Profile: Tektric isn't noticed by most transformers. He likes to stay in the lab rather than on the battlefield. He works on peoples weapons, and being the great engineer that he is, has worked on Megatron's Ion cannon. He does not like the destructive nature of the Decepticons, being an engineer. Becauser of this he implanted emergency shut off units in every decepticon weapon that he worked on and made the exact plans to escape. Now all he needs is the courage to put his masterplan into action.

Abilities: Tektric has a drone that while it has no weapons, it is good for scouting and finding the perfect way to escape the most terrifying situations. It can also, on command, produce a cloaking shield around tektric for about 10 kliks. His electric staff will heal if neccisary, but only circutry based damage. It can not heal outer/cosmetic damage, so it cannot repair armor. It can also do a temporary stun that is in effect for approximentally one cycle. Healing also has this effect, leaving the healed transformer temporarily stunned (still one cycle). The flamethrowers will blind the target if hit correctly for one cycle. Flame throwers take approximentally five kliks to recharge. Also has emegency, temporary shut offs to various Decepticon weapons for escaping the decepticons. Shut off Duration= roughly ten kliks.

Weaknesses: No courage, lack of fighting skills, Lack of trust to teammates

Sample Post: There he stood. Tektric was hearing gunshots from the outside of his workshop. War raged and he frantically wrote out the final piece to his plan. He hoped that it would work. His hidden links with the Autobots were about to be discovered, he was sure of it. He needed to get out, or it would be the last of him.
"Time to put this plan into action," Tektric wispered to himself. "Deploy Thunderbolt"
Thunderbolt was his drone. While thunderbolt couldn't attack, he sure was helpful. He could produce a cloaking device, the first step of his plan.
"Cloak," Tektric commanded. Tektric became invisible.
Time to get out of here, he thought.
He openned the hatch, careful to make as little noise as possible. Time for phase two. He was becoming hopeful of his plans success.
Tektric crawled into the escape tunnel. He needed to meet an autobot named Nitro. Right where planned, he found Nitro.
Nitro seemed inquisitive. "Prime told me to ask you one question. Are you sure you want to do this? There will be a massive bounty on your head if you continue."
"Of course. Release cloak," Tektric said.
"You don't look like a Decepticon. You look fairly neutral. That's good," Nitro explained.
Phase three was ready. They had walked down the tunnel for a little bit.
"Activate shut down," Tektric said. Decepticon guns and other weapons were shutting down. He had one shot. He needed to get to that autobot base. He knew his rank would be low, but it was worth it.
The cybertronian tunnels seemed to go on forever. He knew that there was a decepticon guard somewhere here. He heard footsteps. Tektric held his breath. A autobot guard came around a corner.
"Welcome to Iacon. I asume that you are Tektric. Follow me," the guard said.
Tektric knew the guns were back online. Tektric knew that by now, soundwave had tracked the frequencies to him. Tektric knew that he was dead to every single Decepticon in existance.

Okay got a couple of problems here we need to address. First off, full scale invisibility costs a massive stat penalty (-12), so if you're going to go with that, you'll have to rework your stats, and honestly at 58 points you'll be pretty gimped, so you might want to tone down or lose the ability. Also fanmade characters have a limit of one stat at 9, so even if you ditch the invisibility you do need to drop one of the nines to an eight or something.

I see you intend for the character to defect to the Autobots, so I have no problem with the weapon failsafe device being part of his backstory - it's kind of a cool idea, and would have led to a price on his head, but it has to be set in the past for it to work. Tektric can be an Autobot who was a Decepticon at one time, and your story could be his history, but giving him the ability to shut down all the Decepticon weapons in the current game setting just won't work.

Give it another try. If you want to discuss any of this before you repost in the open forum, feel free to PM me and we'll go over it.

So... could it be a one time thing just for a back story? the shut down weapon thing?

and i am modifying now. I hope the updated version will work

The cybertronian tunnels seemed to go on forever. He knew that there was a decepticon guard somewhere here. He heard footsteps. Tektric held his breath. A autobot guard came around a corner.
"Welcome to Iacon. I asume that you are Tektric. Follow me," the guard said.
Tektric knew the guns were back online. Tektric knew that by now, Soundwave had tracked the frequencies to him. Tektric knew that he was dead to every single Decepticon in existance.




I hope this one works. I have good ideas for the character.

The staff does have real lives outside of the game. Instantaneous approvals don't happen. Sometimes it takes a few days, especially this time of year.

I have taken a look at your profile and I do see a decent amount of work to be done on it.

What exactly is the drone? You don't describe it or its abilities anywhere. We need to know a lot more about it before that can be approved. The same goes for the electric staff that somehow heals or stuns people. The motto doesn't really work for a Transformer, as they don't wear shoes. I would like to see some description of his personality. You need to remove the bit about working on Megatron's cannon and also make his escape to be in the past in the profile itself. The weaknesses section needs to be expanded into at least a sentence rather then just a few phrases. Finally the whole thing could use a run through a grammar and spelling checker to iron out a few problems.

Also, turn off your signature when posting in RPG forums please.

Holomatter Avatar: A leftover from a previous assignment, Magnus’s avatar is a bald, green-skinned Nebulan male. He is dressed as a security officer.

Profile: Ultra Magnus is the brother of Optimus Prime. In the waning days of the Golden Age, Optimus was a humble archivist named Optronix, and Magnus was a soldier in the Autobot Security Force. While his brother was following in the footsteps of their maker, the Elder Alpha Trion, Magnus was the prize protégé of Sentinel Prime. He studied strategy and tactics, history, martial arts, and many other subjects at the feet of the Autobot leader. He was a natural; excelling in whatever his mentor chose to teach. There were whispers that Sentinel was grooming Magnus as his successor, but he paid them no heed.

Yet when Sentinel Prime fell to Megatron, it was not Ultra Magnus that was chosen. Optimus Prime became the new leader of the embattled Autobots. While as surprised as anyone else at Optronix’s elevation, Magnus supported his brother completely. He helped bring the Autobot Command around to the new Prime’s side. He performed valiantly at every turn, fulfilling the potential Sentinel Prime had seen in him. While a natural leader, it seemed he was content simply to serve.

The truth was more complicated. When Optimus was selected over him to lead, it was a confirmation of every doubt and fear Magnus had ever had. He was unworthy. Feeling sure he had no business leading, Ultra Magnus dedicated himself to simply being the best soldier in the Autobots. Let Optimus lead; he would see this war won, or die trying.

[From the Datatracks of Optimus Prime, Autobot Supreme Commander] Infinitely reliable, fair, and completely trustworthy, Ultra Magnus is an Autobot to whom I'd not only entrust my own life, but the lives of my soldiers as well. The problem is that while I offer that trust without hesitation, my brother continues to doubt his own abilities. He'd prefer to follow orders and work on a strictly tactical level - which he always does brilliantly, improvising things on the battlefield that the most skilled military planners could only dream of imitating. Magnus is instinctively a better leader than most who've groomed themselves for the role over a lifetime, and everyone who's ever served alongside him knows that...the only problem is convincing him to believe it, too.

Abilities: Magnus has incredible strength, endurance, and intelligence. He is an accomplished soldier, and tactician, not to mention a field commander without equal. He is considered one of the greatest masters of the ancient martial art of Diffusion. Magnus wears a suit of Apex Armor, among the finest ever produced. He is rarely seen without it. This armor is equipped with two missile launchers, each capable of hitting a target at a distance of 10 miles. Additionally, he wields a powerful laser rifle. They are all usable in both modes. In vehicular mode, he consists of two modules. Magnus himself becomes a white tractor unit capable of reaching speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour. His Apex Armor becomes a vehicle transport trailer capable of carrying several mid-sized vehicular Autobots.

Weaknesses: When he doesn't allow his self-doubt to cripple him, Magnus has no known weaknesses. He just needs to learn that those doubts are an indulgence he must sacrifice in order to truly lead.

Sample Post:

Entry to Earth

Ultra Magnus had picked the perfect landing site, but now had doubts that it was a good one. "What if I'm seen," he thought. "Just think of the consequences! I would distress so many of the humans." But doubts were zip now. He was already within Earth's gravitational pull now, and landing was inevitable. If you could call it landing.

He crashed in a completely uninhabited area, the Mojave Desert at night. "Good. Now I should find a suitable disguise, if I can." A little while later, his desires were fulfilled. A pair of headlights appeared, and a white DAF CF85 tractor unit drove past the the well hidden Magnus. Perfect! Now I get to the Autobot base.

Ultra Magnus transformed into his tractor unit mode, and thundered down the dark road. His Apex Armor, finest of it all, was conveniently transformed into a tractor trailer pulled behind him. "What lies ahead? Whatever it is, I hope to Primus I can take it!"

Ultra Magnus is a bit high ranking and high profile to take on as a first character. I think you would be better off choosing another character for now. Also make sure to check out the RPG history and notes linked in my sig to get a feel for the game's setting and tone.

Nemesis': Unicron, Barricade.

Ability/range/top speed: Ability to charge Weapons for more damage. Range 13. Top Speed: 13


Sideways fell to his knees in agony, his mind came under attack from Unicron, again. This was how Unicron took control of his body before as his avatar. Sideways shunned away the pain in his mind and stood back up on the metal deck of the now landed Decepticon transport Ultrax. He glanced around the desolate cargo hold, several empty crates, and the bay doors were open revealing a bright surrounding area. Sideways walked cautiously out of the cargo hold, he then jogged onto the almost mushy landscape.

Heh. Reminds me a lot of home. Sideways thought to himself, this planet was nothing like his planet, though, Planet X was too full of cities, and barely and vegetation remained on it, until its destruction.

He gazed around, he had always wondered where his motorcycle vehicle mode came from, he had never guessed here! Earth! He continued to gaze at this beautiful planet, taking in the surroundings, then he noticed something that was not there before, a blue and silver Cassette Deck, he then began to walk to it.

"You shouldn't be here" A voice, a long and robotic and familiar voice.

"Soundwave...?" Sideways said, feeling the happiness build inside him.

The small box transformed into a large blue and silver robot, and his friend. He then repeated, "You shouldn't be here."

"Why not?" Sideways said, pushing back at the urge to hug his friend.

"It is dangerous!" Soundwave said.

"Where are the others? Arcee? Prowl?" Sideways asked looking around.

Soundwave looked down slightly, "Prowl... Is... Dead."

"No... NOOO!!!" Sideways cried out again in agony, "Arcee?" Sideways asked, fearing the worst.

"MIA. I haven't heard from her since... I cannot remember." Soundwave said.

Sideways, now determined to find his friend, fearing nothing. Not even death. he transformed into his purple and yellow vehicle mode, to one place that he knows she would go for sanctuary.

Autobot HQ. Earth


Sample:

Sideways glanced to his right at a drone raising its Axe to kill him, he caught the Axe before it decapitated him, Sideways then spun on his heels, grabbed the Axe and disarmed the drone. Then raised the Axe, and delivered the fatal blow to the chest. He then looked to his left and saw his long time nemesis, Barricade!

Motto: "Expect the worst, but hope for the best. That way, you're never disappointed."
Weapon: Twin Independent Mounted Disruptor Rays
I decided I would make my own character.

Mindrush
Allegiance: Decepticon
Function: Weapons Engineer
Alt. mode: Maroon Kia Soul
Weapons: Forearm-mounted Machine Gun
Special Abilities: Sonic Disruptor: when it is used, all weapons in a 100ft radius are rendered useless for a short period of time (approx. 10 min.). Requires a 2-hour recharge.
Height: 22ft / 6.7m
Quote: "Change it up."

Strength: 4
Intelligence: 8
Dexterity: 8
Speed: 5
Endurance: 5
Courage: 6
Firepower: 5
Accuracy: 6
Melee: 4
Tech Skill: 6
Charisma: 4
Rank: 5

Holomatter Avatar: Lockpick's avatar is a wild-eyed, bald old man wearing khakis and a lab coat.

Profile: Mindrush has a quirky, unpredictable personality that makes him a little alien to the rest of the Decepticons, but all in all, he serves the same cause. He tries to invent at least 3 new weapons every mega-cycle; some work well, but most just blow up in his face. Mindrush hangs around with Jetblade, another Decepticon engineer.

Abilities: Mindrush has a Sonic Disruptor, a weapon that emits a powerful sonic frequency and disables all weapons in a 100ft radius for 10 minutes. After using it, he must wait 2 hours for it to recharge.

Weaknesses: Mindrush's smaller size and lesser strength are traits that make him a little-less-than-adequate fighter.

Sample Post:

Mindrush froze, the rifle's laser aim pointed straight at his head. "Oh slag! Please, please don't shoot!" This was all part of his charade. "Please, have mercy!" In moments the Autobot would be harmless.

Mindrush set his Sonic Disruptors (SDs for short) and played it up some more. He pleaded and begged for his life, the Autobot saying nothing. Then he activated his SDs.

In an instant there was a horrible screech, and the Autobot's weapon went dark. Mindrush pulled out his gun and smiled. The tables are turned, he thought. He locked and loaded, and then aimed.

I'll work on it, but, JSYK, the back story with Prowl and Arcee with Sideways, is:

TAH-DAH!

Its my own story, its my back story to Prowl and Arcee. It is from an upcoming Stop Motion series i'm working on. Sorry about the confusion.

Perhaps a bit toned down? I can change the Back Story if you wish:

"Also MIA. I haven't heard from her since... I cannot remember." Soundwave said.

Sideways, now determined to find his friends, fearing nothing. Not even death. he transformed into his purple and yellow vehicle mode, to one place that he knows they would go for sanctuary.

The Ark.

But he had one problem, the Stunticons were nearby. He watched them leave shuttle bay. What if...? Yes, that would do. Deep in Sideway's mind, he plotted. He would go into the Decepticon's ranks, then, with Soundwave's help, break into Autobot HQ, find his friends, track them, and get out. After that, he could go about his business.


Sample:

Abandoned Drive-In Theater

Sideways passed a ticket booth. Desolate, dirty and disgusting.

>>"Soundwave, are you sure that this where the Stunticons are-?"<<

His question was soon answered by screams of pain, explosions, and laser fire coming from in the theater.

>>"Erm, scratch that."<<

Sideways then transformed into his Alt. And sped at top speed and careened into Autobot Lore-Lock buckling his knees slamming him into the ground.

"What in the name of Primus-?" Lore-Lock yelled over the gunfire.

Dead-End simply grunted then said, "Give me a reason, ONE REASON why I shouldn't kill you!?"

Sideways set his weapon for stun secretly, "This may hurt a bit..." Sideways mumbled loud enough only audible for Lore-Lock,

"This is WHY!" Sideways aimed and fired at Lore-Locks head, and stunned him, just enough to make a good show. That is all Sideways needs, a very good show.

"Heh! 'Could of done the same! Now get over here and help me destroy these other AutoBYTES!" Dead-End screamed at him.

Sideways smirked to himself, this was vaguely familiar to him, being a Decepticon, he hated being a Decepticon.

Holomatter Avatar: Lockpick's avatar is a wild-eyed, bald old man wearing khakis and a lab coat.

Profile: Mindrush has a quirky, unpredictable personality that makes him a little alien to the rest of the Decepticons, but all in all, he serves the same cause. He tries to invent at least 3 new weapons every mega-cycle; some work well, but most just blow up in his face. Mindrush hangs around with Jetblade, another Decepticon engineer.

Abilities: Mindrush has a Sonic Disruptor, a weapon that emits a powerful sonic frequency and disables all weapons in a 100ft radius for 10 minutes. After using it, he must wait 2 hours for it to recharge.

Weaknesses: Mindrush's smaller size and lesser strength are traits that make him a little-less-than-adequate fighter.

Sample Post:

Mindrush froze, the rifle's laser aim pointed straight at his head. "Oh slag! Please, please don't shoot!" This was all part of his charade. "Please, have mercy!" In moments the Autobot would be harmless.

Mindrush set his Sonic Disruptors (SDs for short) and played it up some more. He pleaded and begged for his life, the Autobot saying nothing. Then he activated his SDs.

In an instant there was a horrible screech, and the Autobot's weapon went dark. Mindrush pulled out his gun and smiled. The tables are turned, he thought. He locked and loaded, and then aimed.


That special ability isn't really going to work in the game. It is far too powerful. You'll need to drop it completely. Decepticons don't use holomatter avatars, its just an Autobot thing. His tech skill isn't that great for a weapons engineer. You could use some description of his personality, maybe create a history for him in the profile section. You need to talk about his other abilities in the abilities section. The sample post needs to be improved to be up to the standards of the game. Finally, running the whole thing through a spellchecker always helps. In general I would recommend reading the rules and history of the game, as linked in my sig and checking out some in game posts to get an idea of what we are looking for.

Sideways fell to his knees in agony, his mind came under attack from Unicron, again. This was how Unicron took control of his body before as his avatar. Sideways shunned away the pain in his mind and stood back up on the metal deck of the now landed Decepticon transport Ultrax. He glanced around the desolate cargo hold, several empty crates, and the bay doors were open revealing a bright surrounding area. Sideways walked cautiously out of the cargo hold, he then jogged onto the almost mushy landscape.

Heh. Reminds me a lot of home. Sideways thought to himself, this planet was nothing like his planet, though, Planet X was too full of cities, and barely and vegetation remained on it, until its destruction.

He gazed around, he had always wondered where his motorcycle vehicle mode came from, he had never guessed here! Earth! He continued to gaze at this beautiful planet, taking in the surroundings, then he noticed something that was not there before, a blue and silver Cassette Deck, he then began to walk to it.

"You shouldn't be here" A voice, a long and robotic and familiar voice.

"Soundwave...?" Sideways said, feeling the happiness build inside him.

The small box transformed into a large blue and silver robot, and his friend. He then repeated, "You shouldn't be here."

"Why not?" Sideways said, pushing back at the urge to hug his friend.

"It is dangerous!" Soundwave said.

"Where are the others? Arcee? Prowl?" Sideways asked looking around.

Soundwave looked down slightly, "Prowl... I haven't heard anything on his status."

"Wha-? Why?" Sideways said, "Arcee?" Sideways asked, fearing the worst.

"Also MIA. I haven't heard from her since... I cannot remember." Soundwave said.

Sideways, now determined to find his friends, fearing nothing. Not even death. he transformed into his purple and yellow vehicle mode, to one place that he knows they would go for sanctuary.

The Ark.

But he had one problem, the Stunticons were nearby. He watched them leave shuttle bay. What if...? Yes, that would do. Deep in Sideway's mind, he plotted. He would go into the Decepticon's ranks, then, with Soundwave's help, break into Autobot HQ, find his friends, track them, and get out. After that, he could go about his business.


Sample:

Abandoned Drive-In Theater

Sideways passed a ticket booth. Desolate, dirty and disgusting.

>>"Soundwave, are you sure that this where the Stunticons are-?"<<

His question was soon answered by screams of pain, explosions, and laser fire coming from in the theater.

>>"Erm, scratch that."<<

Sideways then transformed into his Alt. And sped at top speed and careened into Autobot Lore-Lock buckling his knees slamming him into the ground.

"What in the name of Primus-?" Lore-Lock yelled over the gunfire.

Dead-End simply grunted then said, "Give me a reason, ONE REASON why I shouldn't kill you!?"

Sideways set his weapon for stun secretly, "This may hurt a bit..." Sideways mumbled loud enough only audible for Lore-Lock,

"This is WHY!" Sideways aimed and fired at Lore-Locks head, and stunned him, just enough to make a good show. That is all Sideways needs, a very good show.

"Heh! 'Could of done the same! Now get over here and help me destroy these other AutoBYTES!" Dead-End screamed at him.

Sideways smirked to himself, this was vaguely familiar to him, being a Decepticon, he hated being a Decepticon.




Pretty sweet eh? I can make changes if you wish me to.


He needs a lot more work to be compatible with this game setting and, honestly, I think you would be better off with another character all together.

First of all he can't be neutral. Neutrals are extremely difficult to play and are never given out to new players, if to any players at all. Fanmades aren't allowed to have a skill equal to 10. You forgot to include the profile section. The weaknesses section needs to be an actual sentence or two and the ability section needs to actually explain his abilities. You cannot use Prowl, Arcee or Soundwave in your character's history. You are not allowed to use characters you do not control in the background of your character. Your character cannot have any connection to Unicron. You HAVE to make your character compatible with the game and not try to force in a character from a radically different continuity. Please do not post this application again unless you have made substantial changes to it.
