We are a literate, intermediate to advanced AU Transformers RPG Based off of the first season of TFP with dashes of other incarnations sprinkled here or there. Characters from any continuity are welcome however must be restyled to match the TFPrime universe.
Active, with ongoing plotlines, we are always willing to integrate new characters into storylines once incorporated into the setting.

SO, despite feeling like I am constantly behind, I could actually use more threads for Optimus and Soundwave to meet AC every week, but both characters are particularly difficult individuals to plot with which makes it tricky. Damn anti-social weirdoes...
If anyone would like to RP with one of them? I am more than willing to try to come up with ideas, or if you have an idea I am all ears!

I could be up for a thread with Optimus. I don't know how it would unfold if Skirmisher had a scene or the like with Soundwave, but I'm sure it'd work...I just don't know how it would work.

I think getting Skirmisher around Soundwave would be very very difficult. I don't see him going to haven at all, if ever... Maybe only at the onset of the Truce to help set up the shared systems and observe its completion. Only other way would be a lottery amount of luck crossing paths out on the field... which could be around Nevada since Soundwave is fairly confident the Outpost is in that region, but even then...
Optimus would be far easier to get interaction out of. Depends what you would be looking for, as he is often just around the base at the computer terminals or overseeing what has to be repaired. It would probably rely on Skirmisher approaching him, unless you have some other idea in mind.

I'll agree with that. If Skirmisher ever encountered Soundwave, it would be out of blind luck.
With Skirmisher approaching Optimus, it could either be uneasiness about the Truce although if he voices those concerns to Optimus it might either single him out as a rebel or could develop into something else entirely. Though, as he's a single striper/Scout at this point, Skirmisher's probably better off keeping those concerns to himself.
I had a brief idea, a few minutes ago in fact, of Skirmisher utilizing one of the Outpost's computer terminals to do a little research and find out that many on Earth don't fully accept police officers or their actions. I'm not going to even pretend the real world issues would crop up. I wouldn't do that. I don't care for it in the games I run, and I won't plague someone else's game with it either. It'd be his way of figuring out what the larger outlook from the populace of the planet or at least the US to those that did what he did on Cybertron.
Or, he could still be harboring old "grudges" especially for Stein and many of the others that left him on the planet a millennia ago. Or, if all that fails to spark a further idea, he could be seeking out Optimus to at least figure out his purpose in the modern age or at least how he can be useful in the Outpost.

Uneasiness about the truce is to be expected; in no way would Optimus classify it as rebellious ahhaa. Unless Skirmisher was actively leading people to attack the Cons, he would be more than safe. If you think he would approach Optimus about it, than that could be a viable conversation to be had.
Skirmisher can also easily approach to seek a place among the crew.
I don’t know if Optimus would approach him however if Skirmisher was feeling unease or a grudge, since he doesn't know the mech well enough to see something is wrong, and try to fix it. For all he knows, that bitterness is 'normal' and to confront it is awkward.

I could see some potential in that, and it could lead to more interesting moments. I don't know if Optimus would have known Skirmisher personally and vice versa from the days before the War, or even during the War. The demands would have probably had them going in opposite directions. I might not be able to work out a post tonight, but I'll try to tomorrow night after work.
I may have been debating having him show up after a bit in Prowl's welcome thread one Javelin starts to integrate him! Maybe walk in having no idea someone new came in yet, and just deer in headlights look at Prowl all 'wat'. But if you want something else I am good for that. I am sure Prowl would probably seek Optimus out readily?

Ahh yeah, with Optimus I actually don't tend to weave history with characters unless they are specifically mentioned in the canon character's past. It keeps things from becoming too convenient when a population of billions goes down to a few dozen and you 'happen' to know everyone ahhaa. Renegade can definitely know who he is however in general, or have seen him around, since he is the Prime and has been to a lot of rallies and protests as Orion etc etc. Since you mention Renegade as a General, they could have crossed paths in an outpost somewhere, but still, I don’t know if Optimus would really KNOW her since he has met so many in his long life.
If you want/need Optimus to show up to find Renegade to get her to the base, he could come across her wherever she is hiding out if she sends out a signal or any other means that lets the Omega Outpost know where she is. I will forewarn however, I do have family coming to town ((again, gag)) and I am not at the peak of my posting speed at the moment due to busy busy, so responses won't be super fast!
