I didn't see them. But I knew about them.

The ol Seibertron spy network ... never misses when an old player tries to sneak back in.

A restart deserves a fresh start, right?

Okay, maybe not... Most of the team were around before the reset...

Thought you guys might enjoy this nutball:

Function: Warrior
Primary Weapon: Flamethrower, Frostbreath, Sonic Roar, Cybervenom Launcher
Transformation: Lion/Goat/Eagle/Cobra Hybrid

The Chimera is one of Echidna's most powerful creations. A veritable Frankenstein's monster, he is the result of fusing the remains and spark residue of three fallen Predacons to one Maximal protoform.

He now lives in a constant state of torment, his Maximal spark straining and failing to hold-back the ghost-like personalities of the three dead Predacons. Sadly, for all of his efforts to resist their influence, the deck is stacked against him - the three Predacons had well established personalities before their deaths, where as his own persona never had a chance to develop independently. To make things worse, Echidna actually did install a Predacon shell-program to buffer the effect of his spark on his cognitive systems. Rather than completely transforming the signals from his spark, as a shell program should, it simply filters out or scrambles some of the signals, making him emotionally unstable and weak-willed.

Why is his shell-program so horribly flawed? Echidna found the idea of watching the Maximal sink into a state of self-loathing due to programming defects to be an interesting case-study in protoformic developmental psychology.

The Chimera is now forced to do Echidna's bidding, driven by a single, nearly indomitable string of obedience-programming and his Predacon desires to carry out orders to maim and kill.

Strengths: The Chimera has the combined strength and resilience of four Cybertronians, as well as what would be their independent abilities. His Maximal head (the lion) can deafen, terrify, or even knock down enemies with a powerful roar. His goat head can unleash a torrent of flames, and his eagle head, in adition to its razor sharp beak, has cryonic breath. The Chimera's tail, capped with the head of a cobra, is capable of launching cybervenom at his enemies. His lion claws and eagle talons make him a formidable close combat enemy, and his combined feline/goat structure make him surprisingly agile.

Weaknesses: Occasionally, the Chimera's Maximal persona will overrule his programming, and act heroically, foiling Echidna's plans. More often though, the internal conflict of the differing personalities will lead to moments of complete insanity, where he becomes entirely unpredictable. Sometimes one of the other personalities will actually override the majority, and compel the Chimera to pursue its objectives. For example, the Cobra personality often leads the Chimera into unnecessary combat in order to fill its desire to "kick some keester".

That's something to be incredibly proud of. Jerk.

Yeah, seriously not impressive man. I've only just finished Reload's artwork and story this last week.

Try editing the charecter's name, there was a bug that allowed you to edit a charecters name into any name you want.

If mods are gonna be pricks, you might as well be a prick right back at them.

So I've taken a Tim Lambesis approach to my team and themeed them after the most brutal man in the universe. But I'm stumped for the last two slots, any ideas?

ALthough I could have made it a bit more obvious. And they all need to be lulzier.

As for Totall Recall, I had no idea what to write about! Although I know what his quote will be.

And it was inspired by a short story writern by possible the best scifi writer ive ever read.

Sadly so was Minority Report, but no matter how good the origanal short story is, it cant save a spielberg inspired scrip coupled with the King of Medicraty as it's leading star.

as much as total recall butcheted the book, it's still a great movie, i'm still convinced the latter two thirds are a hallucination.

It didnt butcher the origanal story at all really. It just happened to go on for about 150% longer than the origanal story did.

Whereas Minority Report took the basic idea and SHAT ALL OVER IT.

Hell, the outcome wasnt even the same, and in the book the main charecter was the old man who developed the system, who just happened to have the name tom cruise's charecter had.

but is Quaid hallucinating or a Hero?!

It was still better than the War of the Worlds where the Tripods were the only thing that was in the book in its form...

BTW, is this a tripod alt?

Still nothing compared to Starship Trooper and I, robot. Heinlein and Asimov are spinning in there graves. And Stephen King still hasn't gotten over The Shining.

Yeah, I know, not Total Recall, but my favorite quote from the Big guy. Or the one from Last Action Hero when the guy blows up in an ice cream truck.

'Iced that guy, to cone a phrase.'
