You can go ahead and post. I'll update the roster later on tonight.

They're the same thing. Personally I tend to call the 'Bots' repair area the Medical Bay while I refer to the 'Cons' the Repair Bay. *shrug* But that's just me.

Would you let me apply for him?
If not, I did just have an idea for Astroscope as a character.

Your reaction.
My reaction. < If you understand German, then I don't think that this will be well-suited for younger audiences.

If it's a dream, and thus not the real world, is permission still required to write someone elses character in it?

Answering to this pretty late but better now or never I guess. It is case specific. Generally events in the TF games do not count in the RPG. But some of their ideas might be possible to add to the RPG timeline after moderator review.

Well, some of us haven't even had a chance to play both of those games yet.

Hello, new here!
Registration is always open. In fact registration will always be open. As far as how frequent we post...well that depends on a couple of factors...like how active the thread is, how many players are involved, where(as in location of the story), whether you're involved in a side story. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
So, yes we want new players...and if you're interested in joining in please feel free and throw up an app *cough* canons are fun *cough* and we'll see if we can't get you in.
Hope that helps, new here.

I moved this post to this topic because the application thread should be used only for the applications of characters. If you have any questions pertaining to the RPG please post them here.
As for your request...I'm sorry but Blackstar is a fanmade and therefore belongs to the character's creator. You'll need to choose a canon character...the list of available, NPC and taken characters can be found Here or you're more than welcome to create your own fanmade.

Just to reiterate what ember said above, poking through the character list is always a good idea when one is canon browsing. We try to keep it pretty up to date with who's playing whom.
Blitzwing, as you'll see, is taken, but there are plenty of others waiting for good players to take them on.
As for Unicron, I wouldn't hold my breath

Does the Bot turn to hues of grey and black like in the 86 movie or do they retain the same colors?
Also has anyone successfully resurrected anyone before? That's my character's whole shtick.

Well, death can occur a few different ways but I think the most grave would have to be severe damage to the spark or the personality component/laser core/brain module...all of which can be considered their actual "brain".
When a Cybertronian does die I doubt their color would complete vanish, but their color dulling wouldn't be too far fetched. Seemed right in MTMTE issue # 1 (Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It) when Ratchet was examining that NAIL who committed suicide by burning his transformation cog out. He pretty much dulled out to a light green.
And no, no one's been resurrected and it probably won't ever happen.

I played on the board for a little while years ago as a sorta Fan-Made Con, Krunix. Unfortunately, life got in the way some, but I was wondering how I could go about rejoining with Krunix.

A few years back I played a Sorta-Fan Made Con, Krunix. Unfortnately, real life sorta got outta hand and I lost track of it. Would it be possible to start playing him again?
