I know it sounds a bit presumptuous of me, but you have to ask yourself why you want to RP this character. Do you want to RP him because you think it would be a fun character that would fit well into the established universe, or do you simply really love the character and you want to bring him in to a seemingly fun setting? Characters are always more fun when they are more from yourself, and as much of a rabid Doctor Who fangirl as I am, character templates like these should be, as I said, considered carefully and RPed with vigilance.

Well said, Whovian.

I need to get a better grip on reality.

I think the idea of you playing Rory as a TF would be hilarious

Pfft. Trust me, Zill, actually finding a guy who is a rabid Doctor Who, Transformers, AND roleplaying fan would be a dream. There is NO ONE in this entire area that is a bigger geek than me and it is beyond frustrating. Just to have someone to talk to! Indoctrinating my friends can only go so far, and they aren't nearly as rabid about TF as I am, and probably never will. They just don't understand. I have seven Transformers shirts; it is all I ever need to wear, but they think I'm obsessed. I have yet to see a problem with this.

Hnnnnn. My current battle plan is to just find someone at a convention and kidnap them. Come on BotCon! Come back to Orlando already!!! (stupid traveling convention)

Oh, and remember to turn off your sig, Zill.

You and I were practically made for eachother! Even so, we probably have a age difference that couldn't be tolarated

Depends. Are you old enough to remember the Boston Tea Party?

And I have FINALLY read all the threads the Dinobots have been in! And now I can't wait to start-- YAY!

The Boston Tea Party was in 1773. Nobody could still be alive to remember it in person.

I'm thirteen.

Do you want me to pinch you?

I want BotCon close to the Southeast so badly. That would be awesome.

Hm. Maybe she's talking about a different Boston Tea Party? The T.E.A. (Taxed Enough Already) Parties are taking place everywhere, including Boston.

Your mastery of the obvious is truly awe-inspiring, Zill x3

Slight change of topic, but I'm curious. For those RPing canon characters, what version do you personally view your characters' appearances as? G1, IDW, other, ect.

EDIT:
The Orlando BotCon was so amazing. It was my first ever convention and I get to hug Scott McNeil!!! And my friend got to ask Peter Cullen a question and I bought a Watchmen Autobot shirt and there was a giant coronation Starscream cosplay! *sobbu* Come back to me, BotCon! I want my happiness back. QAQ

Well the Universe is mostly based on the IDW universe, but really there's no specific continuity you need to base it on, just as long as it's consistent with the character. You mentioned you wanted to apply for Swoop, right? The big thing with all the dinobots is the whole caveman talk ("Me Dinobot!"). I use Sludge and I use the caveman talk since he's the least intelligent, and Smokescreen uses the caveman talk for Snarl, but Sludge could easily go either way since he has slightly above average intelligence.

But whichever way you go just follow the rules and have fun!

Oh I just meant personal preference! I know this is its own universe, but I personally tend to view the Dinobots as either IDW or Aligned (Fall of Cybertron). Seriously, High Moon Studios has my heart. Maximum Dinobots is still just.... Nick Roche, man. Nick Roche.

So I went and read all the threads the Dinobots have been in while I was still deciding if I wanted to RP Swoop or not.

Love at first sight, man. Dinobots all the way. You RP Sludge perfectly. Adorable, clumsy, adorable, a bit dense, adorable, signature Dinobot recklessness, adorable, did I mention Sludge is adorable? As for Swoop's speech patterns, it seems that he's the only one that speaks normally. That was how Ember and Devastron RPed him anyway. Plus I tend to think of him as pretty smart, or above average anyway. Not military genius like Grimlock, but he's sharp. I believe in the G1 cartoon he was said to be the most intelligent Dinobot. But seriously-- I am totally PSYCHED to begin RPing with you guys.

I envision my canons in whatever form they've been presented the most visually spiffy--to me. That tends to be either Dreamwave for WFC/FOC related art. Particularly for guys like Shockwave and Cyclonus. I haven't seen the Fall of Cybertron Insecticons yet, but I'm sure they'll be neat. That doesn't always work when it comes to size, since there have been some pretty big discrepancies between companies, but in terms of general design, it's pretty much whatever makes your mind's eye happiest.

I love IDW's storytelling, but their art leaves me wanting just a little. Only a little though. It's still better than trying to reread the old Marvel issues.

Just thought I'd update you lot on my status as of now. As it stands there's no update on the status of my laptop...its still in bits getting looked at, and as it stands, and because of this...i'm relinquishing the battle chargers...

I don't know when I'll be back

Aw. That's a shame, Bane. Hope it gets fixed up soon.

I must admit, Dreamwave does have some real nice character designs. Sunstorm shall always hold a place in my heart simply because I have a fondness for batslag insane seekers that have the ability to look awesome surrounded by angry glowy flamey effect thingys of religious fervor. It's like my recipe got awesome. Need more awesome? Add fire in there somewhere. Robot sharks on fire.

Flaming ninja-wizards with guitars locked in a fierce kung-fu battle on top of a flaming monster truck that shoots lasers. In space. Which is also exploding.

With Aerosmith in the background. Everything is more awesome with Aerosmith.

That is all the awesome I can come up with without Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee.

Flaming zombie dinosaur pirates from hell sword-fighting ninja spider-shark aliens with laser vision on motorcycles in a space minefield full of space monsters on fire wielding ancient magic from another dimension.

Whoever draws this gets my firstborn child.

You just threw out a challenge them loonies cannot refuse. Welcome aboard nevertheless.

So how far you are with your illustration of this -Sideways-?

Thanks, Cry. I hope my RPing will give Swoop justice. Now get drawing you loonies!

I actually did get halfway through drawing it before I decided it was too crappy to continue.

Edit: The drawings, not the idea.

Also, I had an idea, and I am so going to draw it. Adam = Wheeljack and Jamie = Ratchet.

You have to have Wheeljack missing an Eyebrow.

Ha ha, does he even have eyebrows?

And last night we performed Time Warp. I got Riff Raff's parts. I was the only one people could hear, and I didn't even use a mic.



Edit: I am about to go off to our family reunion in Oklahoma. I have been looking forward to this, because my family is crazy. I mean, full out crazy. They are a mix of good crazy and literally crazy. I fit right in! I think they do have Wi-Fi, but I'm not sure. Wish me luck! (And hope I don't learn anything from my dead great- grandmother. She drove like Maude.)

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be heading to the shore first thing tomorrow morning, and I won't return home until some time in the afternoon on Monday. Therefore, I will not be able to post at all this weekend. I will, however, have my cell phone handy so I can still read all of the postings you guys do over the next couple of days. I just can't write that much with it.

So, as the Terminator would say, "I'll be back!"

Bring me back some salt water taffy!

Just lettin' you guys know, I will be posting soon. Things have been pretty hectic around here so I'll get to posting as soon as I can.

Happy [early] Memorial Day, everyone!

I wonder if Transformers have an equivalent to Memorial Day. A day to honor soldiers and veterans who fought and risked life and limb for their country. Maybe once they settle back on Cybertron after the war they would have something. They might have even picked it up from the humans and thought it was a good idea so they had their own. I don't even know.

Happy Memorial Day, everybody.
