The Intergalactic Highway

@NaitoKage: I didn't do the Cybervenom thing because I didn't know if that was a little over the top. Again, I'm used to trying to keep characters to a minimum to please the fussies in Transformers Land. Do many other characters have that attribute? If its not overdone I'll take it.
And yes, exactly like Talim! ^_^ I'm so happy you got that. No one else on other sites as ever made that connection! I have always wondered how she didn't have scars all over her body from those, but I figured if it could work for a fleshy it could work for a robot. Aside from those, Scaleblade carries lots of throwing knives as you said, along with a couple of daggers. I decided to make all of the blades 'heated' though, as it seemed logical since they would be cutting through metal and such.
What elements of her backstory have already been done. I can alter it. I tried to base it off of her normal Decepticon profile as much as I could to keep from having to alter the character too much. http://czarkova.deviantart.com/art/Tf-A ... -204020770

Rank 6 whoo!

Also. What is a CQC? o_O

Heh. Talim is my go to character in Soul Calibur. Uh.. lets see.. I believe four Predacons have Cybervenom, five when Quickstrike comes in. Tarantulus,Blackarachnia, Cecaelia, and Glowstick all use Cybervenom, though it varies in strength or use. Generally most players just have it knock them unconcious, even if other status effects are listed.. so just go with that.

CQC is Close quarters combat. a Melee fighter basically. Alot of the players do that, mostly maximals though. So sometimes battles become shooting galleries.

WAAAIIITTT!! VEHICLE MOOODDDEEE!! PIIIP PIIP!!

Starshadow! BREATH! Hahahahaa.

TMs didn't necessarily have three modes (as in being triple changers). A lot of them merely had a specific part that popped out, like Cheetor had the rockets that popped out of his backside. It always irked me a bit to refer to it as a specific mode though, since I view it as more of an addition than a separate, unique mode. But TMs usually have a special ability, yes.

That's why I said it as "Transmetal features" instead of a mode. I know you hate it, but it's still a form of transportation that should be listed, otherwise what is even the point of going transmetal other then being shiney?

Being shiny is pretty! It's just that when you're referring to it as a specific mode, it makes me think of the triple changers from G1.. Astrotrain going from robot to train to space shuttle, Blitzwing from robot to plane to tank, Octane from robot to tanker truck to plane (again).. I know some of the people plan on having a couple of actual transformation modes, such as one animal and one vehicle mode and that's ok but hopefully not everyone has to do it that way.

And I was not referring to NK calling it a 'transmetal feature' now as much as I was many of the players still thinking they need to come up with an additional mode (i.e. animal and vehicle forms).

Hmm..CQCs...We have..

Maximals :
- Saber-Fang
- Orcariner
- Whitegrazer
- Dinobot

Predacons :
- Manterror
- Venatrix (retired, may come back)
- Starshadow
- Cecaelia (maybe, she'll slap Maximals with her tentacles)
- Scaleblade
EDIT:
- Nemesis (why do I keep forgetting about her..)

A total of 10 CQCs.

Technically Nemesis was always a CQC as well, so there are a couple.

Arachnitron also has Cybervenom.

She's not CQC I don't think...though she does use hand-to-hand combat from time to time...I'm not even really sure what her function should be. It seems weird to me that a mentally imbalanced bot would be a medic. But that didn't occur to me until after I put that down. lol. But it appears that with the way the RP is going, if I were to make a prediction, I'd predict that the two medics we already have will end up spending a lot of time with her. Glowstick seems interested in "fixing" her programming problem...which I have yet to decide if it will work or not. And Icebreaker kind of got stuck with the job of "supervising" her. I dunno... maybe it makes more sense than I thought. She probably would pick up stuff while working with them. She could also kind of have different functions depending on which programming is in control unless that's really confusing. I mean, how cool is the phrase "psychological warfare"? It seems like a great job title for her Predacon personality....definitely would be something she'd know a lot about. lol.

Heh, You could have her try to find her function.. I guess she is more suited as a spy.

Whatever her function is, Arachnitron certainly makes a good plot device. Two direct attacks on the Axalon just for her... no other Predacon has that honor lol.

hahaha! That is a good point! Plot device is a great function!

NaitoKage wrote:Heh, You could have her try to find her function.. I guess she is more suited as a spy.

That's a good thought. She does spend an awful lot of time thinking about who she is. That could just be a part of her trying to find out who she is and where she belongs.

She would also be a great spy, but we have so many Pred spies so we decided not to go that route. But maybe her Predacon programming can do the spying.

Of course, I could broaden her function to be a "science officer." That also makes sense since she spent her whole life around scientists.

Good point! Yeah, I'd think twice about letting Arachnitron perform repairs as a medic given her tendency to randomly swap personalities.. one moment she is repairing you, the next she is chopping your head off!

I do like the science approach.. maybe even mechanic?

And yes indeed, she is stirring up some emotions for the Preds. albeit to be fair, the current "rescue attempt" is meant for both Arachnitron and Nemesis (even though the Nem one will fail).

Indeed!!

I can only imagine how she would interact with Megatron!!! Her Predacon side is as defiant as they come! I have a feeling, Megatron would not enjoy her company!
