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.
I'm pleased to say that the new Mods have been very busy behind the scenes, and that the reboot has now officially taken place. Active, abandoned and completed/closed threads from Episode 0 to 1.5 have all been archived and can still be accessed. Episode 2 threads have become the new Episode 1, and ongoing 1.5 threads that could become Episode 1 have been left pending speaking to the muns. If folk would like threads moved into Episode 1, PM any Mod and we shall shift it.
Regarding plot for Episode 1, we will be going ahead with the MECH storyline planned for Episode 2,taking the characters now absent or mun-less into account.
I would humbly suggest the following kick-off scene: MECH attacks a group of Decepticons who were being covertly tracked by Autobots. The bots sit back and enjoy the show until MECH agents start getting squished, at which point Optimus pointedly reminds everyone that we're trying to preserve the human race, yo, even if some groups like this do suck aft. Intervention and fight scene! One or two mecha get bot/con-napped at the end of it. Bots and Cons form an uneasy, temporary alliance to find their missing mecha since technology in MECH's hands ain't a grand idea. Haven is used as the DMZ bargaining and negotiation point. For this, we'd need a volunteer to play Silas, and the two characters getting snatched.
Thoughts? Expansion packs? Please fire in some thoughts.
I am totally digging the idea of MECH being the primary antagonist for Episode 1. I've mentioned this a while back, but it would be fantastic to have a chance to flesh out the organization as both being made up of characters with their own motivations and agendas, as well as a sort of simmering background force that is slowly revealing itself as a threat to be reckoned with. I was always a little narked at the fact that the show itself gave MECH very little development beyond a few establishing episodes. Boo-urns.
MECH also seems to have the potential to be quite horrible in its own right, and I like horrible XD.
A couple thoughts:
- I would suggest that MECH covertly ambushes the Decepticons at the beginning through the use of stealth/guile, rather than an all-out attack. It'd be nice to keep them a bit of an unknown element at first, with unknown numbers and capabilities. It would still put a few MECH humans in the line of fire though, giving the Autobots that opportunity to step in and go whoa whoa, can't let these guys get stomped even if they are dicks.
- It'd be nice to actually keep a lot of MECH and its activities in the dark throughout the Episode, just to keep some of its mystery preserved for future episodes. Recurring villains are fun, especially when they don't play all their cards early on.
- I'm happy to volunteer Air Raid as a candidate for abduction. If there is someone out there who would love to have their Autobot snatched, by all means, go for it . In a pinch though, Raider is available!
- And now I need a shower before work XD. Gotta scoot!
A little, squeeing part of me wants Fairwinds and Air Raid to have another misadventure together, only this time, Raid saves her from baddies wanting to strip for parts. They could be trapped off somewhere and studied for what they do to escape (with the intention being to extract the lasers, thrusters, etc at the end of the exercise). Could do with another Con for this if it went ahead.
Oh my god, I would love for Windy and Raider to have adventures in captivity XD. It would be great if he was the one to save her this time from losing any parts - I love the notion of the prisoners being held at a secluded location and deliberately presented with an opportunity to make an escape, just for the purpose of being re-snatched at the end of it. Psyche! Thanks for demonstrating your interesting robot bits, we'll be taking those now, suckers.
(plus, the thought of a reunion between the two in such dreadful circumstances makes me grin XD)
Consider me totally on board with this idea! And if anyone would like to volunteer another character for prisoner shenanigans, by all means, go right ahead!
Ok, so Roulette is definitely down for this thread and all the violence to be had. Krax, you mentioned a Roulette/Fairwinds thread to lead into it. Do you want to start that via orders from the Big M?
Just checking in here on the thread, offering up my toons for whatever is needed for the plot. Dusk is up in the med bay as a medic on the Bot base, and Cat's over chillin in the DMZ with Cleaver.
I already once commented in the cbox that i really like this plan, but i still comment here. Arma will gladly take part in crushing MECH assault team, and brawling with interfering autobots after that. She's the caliber that wouldn't be that easy to haul by mech, so she's out of that.
Els, with a few edits, would you like to continue the 'Fangirl' thread over at Haven? It can easily be set in Episode 1, and will set Fairwinds up for meeting up with her crush/Autobot enemy again.
I love, love the idea of Roulette and Windy and Raider getting jumbled up in MECH nastiness together, oh man. Raider would be chagrined to find himself captured, and yet delighted to know he was at least in the company of two fightin' Decepticon ladies, aw yeah XD.
Consider me more than happy to run some games with you and Krax, Rumi!
Just let me know when we're set to go with Roulette, Air Raid and Fairwinds being run through a gauntlet! We can wait until 'Bird Dog' is finished (epic title), or get the thread going sooner. I honestly don't mind. =)
On a related note, Windy needs a thread to crash around in until she gets bird-napped by MECH. I've scouted about the current Open threads, but I wanted to put a feeler out and see if anyone fancies something light on the side?
Though I must admit, the thought of Wash and Bluestreak busting Fairwind's audios and chasing her across town does appeal!
