Yay! Welcome to the show, Cravex! I recently started! This game is fun and addicting. Only thing is I may need to make a new character soon and make better choices. Anyone have any advice for me, Im all ears.

Better choices as in what exactly? :-?

Also, hi Cravex!

Well, I missed the Oahu mission with my Seeker character, so I entered him onto the Thanatos battle damaged from the mission. The damage was entirely his own fault, and I decided for some reason to make it really serious, so now he can't be fully repaired.

Yeah, if you’re worried about Amethyst, don’t be. His situation is making for some good interaction between he and Scrapper. By referencing the damage, I was just having Scrapper comment on the extent of the damage and the need for replacement parts...which is easy in a world of machines. We’ll get your character back into prime condition haha.

If you want another character just for more rp opportunities, by all means have at it. My personal advice is that canons tend to have an easier time weaving in because they have established histories with other characters in the game that are easy to build off of. But you’re doing fine with both of your picks thus far.

Thank you, Sid! Well, Im glad I won't have to say goodbye to Amethyst yet! He's starting to turn out to be an interesting character! It's been fun RPing with you, and I enjoy all the reading. Thanks for lwtting me know Im doing fine so far. I might pick up a 3rd character or create a custom soon, for more interaction. Im thinking about making someone with a giant animal alt-mode, kind of like the Decepticon Headmasters, but not a Headmaster. Just thoughts right now though. Also, Amethyst was super basic when I picked him up. Any chance I could alter him somewhat? Maybe it could even fit into the story.

There are some canon characters who have very little information on them. Often times they have one or two lines for a profile plus the usual stats and quote. Those can be a challenge to play but at the same time gives the freedom of a fan made since again not much to go on. My challenge is trying to figure out where to put a character who hasn't been established anywhere yet.

Thanks Chibi Starscream and SillyMcGilly. Glad to be back.

It is addictive at that. Some of the best players and writers I know are here.

Nice! Yes, I've read some pretty good stuff. It's great to be around wonderful writers. This is actually my favorite pasttime. I just took a long break from RPing for a while to do other things. I noticed you play Thrust. We'll likely get to RP together in missions and such. Amethyst is a Seeker.

It's good to see a lot of people genuinely enjoying a pastime together, it's quite nice actually.

by **sumowrestler** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:27 pm

We poke, prod, encourage, and jest all in good fun. I think we all share two common themes, the enjoyment of writing and appreciation of Transformers. We all have our favorite series and mechs but even though we may disagree on things we still want to make the best stories possible.

Sounds good. Yeah, same here. My break was supposed to be a month or two and ended up being four years. Took a little longer than I expected. lol

I read some of your posts when I was working on when to plug Thrust in. Should be fun.

(Sorry, I'm trying to get used to using the quote method. lol)

Woah, four years? Yikes! :shock:

What characters did you have?

by **Cravex** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:06 pm

Thundercracker was my last character. I also played Sideswipe and Afterburner, but I don't remember if that was before or during that time. Dang memory. lol

by **sumowrestler** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:18 pm

Technically Afterburner is available since MSB has him as a NPC. The Technobots have their gestalt form, sort of. It is more basic and currently called Logicor. The Technobots are still prisoners of Scorponok though.

News Credits: 1 · by **AFTRHR** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 2:27 am

Logicor is Computron v0.7

even though Logicor is a much cooler name than Computron

I would've much preferred Betatron instead and then Logicor for the true guy

So my muse really kicked in today, and I made a custom character for my 3rd character, a female Decepticon with an alt-mode that resembles a mech from Zoids. I generally know how she looks in robot mode, which was written out, but I'll have to commission an artist to draw her robot mode when I can pay for art (or when I can figure out how to draw good enough...but most likely I'll just pay someone). Her alt-mode is a cross between a Blade Liger Mirage and a Liger Zero Schneider, complete with the retractable blades on her armor. TBH I haven't seen Zoids since it came out back at the end of the 90's/beginning of the 2000's, but I thought about Zoids when I was thinking of a cool feline alt-mode for this new character, and I decided a Liger would be perfect. As for her story, I fleshed out that too. It's sad and dynamic, giving her a reason for being who she is. I hope you'll enjoy reading it.

Very cool. He was fun, but I was kinda talked into that one. I may go back to him at some point.

Actually, that would've been amazing. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut..... Accuracy is king. >:oP

Hey y'all. Just wanted to apologize for my abrupt absence in last couple of weeks. I needed a break from a lot of things, so I took one. It was unplanned, so I'm very sorry for leaving people and bots in the lurch. I'll be gone another week or so, then I'll be back to posting again. Again, I'm so very sorry for not posting a whole lot.

Petition for Hasbro to canonically change Computron to Logicor please.

*comes up for air before going under water again

Actually I think we should be good now, they hit us with the big event this past weekend so between back room deals, reorganization, troublemaking, and the event the guys have put me on a forced vacation (then made me plan the event) and the new year's rush is over.

So now to catch up!

Did I miss anything good?

Yes! A moon just blew up! Go read the Convergence. It's a very exciting topic! Also, if you were following things on the Thanatos, Megatron isn't rampaging anymore and has seemed to regain his mind. Shockwave is helping him with that. Other than that, I'm sure some other exciting things have happened, but Ihaven't really been following any other IC topics closely. Have fun reading!

As for the Bot side, it is rather slow on Earth or orbiting Earth. Omega Supreme and company is landing at Peru. The Guardians is taking the Fallen spark to the sun with the big wigs discussing and updating each other. A new adventure just started in Antarctica searching for ore 13. The Aerialbots are undergoing the surgery to become Superion.
