it's a bug, and it prevents us from donating to you. PM a guy called Omega Sentinel with your problem, he'll try to get back to you and sort it out

Thanks for welcome, and later for donated Energon.

And my other questions: What was energon in the series?
And how do clans work in here? Double thanks for answers already.[/quote]

Clans are a tricky question. Officialy, there's two. One for the Autobots (Autobot War Council), and one for the Decepticons (Renegade Decepticon Dissidents). You can go clan or non-clan, your choice. After the reset, there's talk of having an two new clans, one each for Maximals and Predacons, but I don't know how that's going.
If you want to join the AWC, I'm not entirely sure who you should ask, but my guess would be LuckyTheWonderLlama. He's wonderful. But not a llama.
And energon was a form of fuel, very highly concentrated. Hence it being so explodey and so valuable.

Which ones do you mean? The clans (or subfactions, as we call them)?

Subfactions, my friend.

A few months after the game was started, myself and two other players got together and formed a clan to help each other - the RDD. The Autobots saw this and gave it a go themselves. Both subfactions grew quite large, and have had an influence on the game as a lot of the informal mini games that are run on the boards here came from the subfactions, and most of the understanding as to how the game works has been figured out by Tammuz and Bun-Bun, two RDD members.
They're both very open to membership, there's no hoops to go through, so there's no real difference inside the game itself if you're in a subfaction or not.
Oh, and this is a whimsical and, at times, exaggerated version of the history of the subfactions.

EDIT: Just saw your other question. I don't know much after Headmasters, but here's what I do know:

:BOT2: :CON2: - These are just the symbols for the Autobots and Decepticons in G2, which wasn't much beyond some toys and a few comics, as far as I know.

:MAX:

RED: - These are the symbols the Maximals and Predacons, who were the two sides in the Beast Wars series.

:BLEND:

- This is the Blendtron symbol. It's technically only for three specific Transformers from Beast Wars, but it's since become accepted to mean any follower of Unicron.

:MINI:

- These are the minicons from Transformers: Armada.

:TRANSBOT:

- These are the Autobot and Decepticon symbols from the Transtech series, which was cancelled in its early stages. Some concept sketches exist, but very little else. It would have come after Beast Wars, but was replaced by Robots in Disguise, as far as I know.

Thank you very much for replies.

What about that shiny core inside the Transformers? What's that called?

Can a transformer drive another transformer which alt-mode is i.e. a car or a motorbike?

by **Tammuz** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 7:16 am

in the shows, if they can fit behind the wheel, yes, but as most keep approximate size the car has to be a big one, and the driver a small one, in the game no.

the shiny bit inside TFs is also dependant on the seiries in most it's their "spark" or soul, however G1 has no sparks though they have something once referred to as a "lasercore" which probably functions in a similiar way

The best canonical example would of course be the Junkions in the movie.

And to further answer the question about the "Shiny Bits". "Sparks" were introduced in Beast Wars, and have appeared in almost every Transformers universe since (even the movie!). Though they never appeared in the 1980s G1/G2 cartoon or comic, Beast Wars retconned G1 by including the Sparks of G1 Starscream, Optimus Prime, and Megatron.
