I never even realized I did this till today but...

I play this game online City of Heroes/Villains. Now one of my Villain characters is called Cameron the Lovely and she has some kind of love hate relationship going on with Lord Imperial, my only hero.

Anyway I had alot of people and characters in my head influancing the way I designed Cameron's personality to be like. At first I was just thinking comic book characters like she'd be to Lord Imperial what Catwoman is to Batman but it just hit me today...

Without even realizing it I added in eliments of Silverbot and Blackarachnia to Lord Imperial and Cameron the Lovely.

For one thing Cameron's powers are poison based (black widow spider) and she's not completly evil but she likes being a bad girl.

Lord Imperial is allso split by Magic and is allso another character called Lord Vestereo. The two can easily be seen as Silverbolt and Jetstorm. Lord Imperial is kind of like BW Silverbolt but without being too increadibly corney and a little bit of BM Silverbolt as well. Lord Vestereo is just pure evil, he's definatly alot like Jetstorm except Vestereo actully kills people, quite offten in fact. In fact the first thing he ever does is kill someone.

Anyway I just thought I might share that with you. I thought it was funny that Transformers influanced my characters without me even realizing it.

Has Transformers ever influanced anything you've done creatively without your notice?

Haha, yeah, I've put transformers into my game in Need For Speed Carbon on the PS2...I added a pair of Ford Mustangs to my garage, and was wondering what to do with them....I painted one up white with blue stripes and a carbon fibre spoiler (Alternators Wheeljack!) and the other metallic silver with the same spoiler (Alternators Grimlock). I also have a red Lamborghini Murcielago which is supposed to resemble G1 Sideswipe (Not perfect but hey, could be worse), and a Porsche Cayman S painted up to resemble Jazz, complete with stripes and porsche logos. I should add the number 4 to it sometime.

Transformers has always influenced me either thinking about it intentionally or otherwise, I even named my last cat Galvatron but he had to be put to sleep because of a massive tumor in his abdomen several years ago
No other name just fit him and he was so wild and destructive plucking ornaments off christmas trees to sitting at eye level and I'm 6'2" up in the trees and then knocking the entire tree over several times and many years in a row.

He ate a "Beta" fish of mine that I JUST GOT from the pet store and with no front claws on the cat either and within five minutes of bringing the fish home and then he left the room it was in and had that innocent look on his face when I found him, he was very jealous of any attention made towards any other pets even a fish apparently and would always instigate a lot of trouble with other pets but would get his butt kicked pretty much every time so Galvatron he was named.

No matter how much trouble he caused it did not matter he was funny too and was one of the best pets I've ever had.

Transformers has also influenced my dreams and in fact all the dreams I had up until Transformers came along were black and white, I had a transformersish dream when I was 15 that was my first color dream and I'm going to write a book about it and other events in my life related to it when I get my new computer system in a month or two at most I hope.
