*facepalm* I forgot about that.

You have my sword and my laser cannon...and my claws for this journey. I only ask one thing: switch Lineos and Tantrum in rank because I think that a enforcer is of higher rank than a berserker.

Well.. we're all rank 6 except for Sonar who is rank 7. Only difference is functions. Berserker and Enforcer are still a type of infantry, though berserker being more front line in the end of the day your both tanks, you both bring the big explosions. Glowstick and Sonar are not entirely suitable as leaders other then high IQs, they're both recon engineer/medical types, kinda like Rhinox.. he can do the job, but then again he doesn't want to.Heh.

I wouldn't worry too much about being a Sniper as a leader Xzuk, Sonar and Glowstick will probably be too busy trying to snipe, spy on, and kidnap your teammates for blackmail and control anyway..

Ah yes... the art of blackmail... I'll just have to think on my feet...

Glowstick: "I know your biggest secret: you came from a stasis pod...with no officially canon background!"

Xzuk: *gasp* "I give up!"

lol anyways, that's 3 Maximals and 2 Predacons confirmed. I'll just shoot a PM to Night-Hunter to see if Sonar is available. If anyone can find Moonshine and Tantrum's creators are willing to join, that'd be awesome. As for the remaining unused OC's, I think we should just have a "join whenever" policy. That'd be pretty easy and we won't have to worry about consistency apart from the main group.

Here's a title idea: "The New Adventures of the Non-Canon Fan-Made Transformers on an Unknown Planet in an Unknown Time"

I already asked Moonshine and Tantrum's creators, they're up for anything. (I talk to them daily, practically family really..)

And you should see about PMing Nighthunter about Sonar,and after apologizing for the confusion with Darkshadow

Yeah I know, hard to keep track of all the people sometimes. Glad I didn't use my NightShadow ID.. you guys would be having trouble with all the shadows..

I'd be more than happy to bring Moonshine into the game, although it would be better for me if I could wait a couple of days. My parents are still visiting and I barely have a moment to myself right now. Thus why my posts have been rather sporadic for a bit.

Blast it! Ok, official apology to Darkshadow for confusing you for Night-Hunter, it was my fault. I'll send a PM to Night-Hunter now lol.

Did some more digging and research.. and watching episodes (understanding japanese is useful sometimes!) which has some interesting bits.

Gaea/Gaia is basically Earth in the future destroyed, which explains why the animals are earth types. They never said this in the show but it's official in japan and the comics.

Though this means that since Beastwars is 300 years into the future from G1, which is around 2010, and beastwars the second is 100 or 200 years after that.. In a span of 300 to 500 years after G1 humanity destroyed itself and all the remains were covered in plant life other then Moon and Artemis who were on the moon (and are man made androids, most obviously the result of cybertronian influence on humanity.)

So.. yeah, Post apocolypse already happened as well. Just a interesting extra note anyway..

Beastwars Neo is so much more tolerable then BW the second, but it's basically the same formula for every episode.. Big Convoy acts like a villian leader sending his recruits out lead by Longrack, when they get in trouble he shows up and beats up everybody, they cheer at his greatness and go back to the ship. Then just add a different planet/story to each episode..

No wonder none of these characters are likable. And the theme song bugs me. it's called "Love is here" which is the main chorus to the song, but there IS no love in BW neo. that was BW the second with the love triangles.

Theres no females in bw neo(other then manga), and really none of the robots even seem gay other then Saberback constantly saying everything is beautiful or ugly which has more to do with being a narcist if anything..

Also interesting note! Japanese reason for beast modes is not energon resistance, but corrosion. Apparently they'd rust to death in our atmosphere.

Ok, we have Sonar! I'll just start up the new topic and just remember that we have a timetable. When Beast Wars Part II finishes, our OC episodes ends so that we can join the next canon RPG.

Might i suggest a small alteration in this side RPG?

I first tangled with a way to make it a more interesting way to tell the story of the reinforcements to prehistoric Earth and 1 kept popping up inside my head every single time.

Fact, the Maximals don't trust the Predacons.
Fact, the Predacons will never cooperate with the Maximals, unless it would gain them something of substantial mass. Plus the destruction of the Maximals would help along the way.
So how would 2 factions work side by side on a ship to save those stranded on Prehistoric Earth?
They wouldn't, unless something substantial happened on Cybertron that would ultimately end up in a joined mission.

So i surgest, before we start with the episode "The Probe", a compleetly new episode should be played.
Those who play characters that are already part of the story wont play their characters during this episode, but can play other, new characters.

The ultimate end should be the launch of a joined venture retrieval attempt, or 2 separate ones.

Any thoughts ?

That would be Razor-one who is working on that.

This side RPG is about 8(I think) stasis pods crashing down in the middle of Beast wars part 2. The occupants must find their respective bases or be lost for a few more episodes.

Referring to the OC Episode #1, since everyone's getting along fine (thus far) do you guys just want to "unknowingly" head straight towards the Vok weapon after all 8 of us get together (we need to find a way to grab Sonar since he's doing his own creepy thing)? I finished reading the Omnibus and in Ascension, the Maxies and Preds team up to take down a bigger threat. In all honesty, it was awesome. Pure, unadulterated awesome. I personally wouldn't mind if we did that too. Here's two options that I'm thinking of (feel free to add your own):

1) We find conflict from within, being separate factions is too much to handle, and start fighting each other. We split into two groups, both heading towards the Vok artifact. Both factions find themselves on opposite ends at the edge of the giant magnifying-glass-crater-volcano-weapon and both try to race towards the central command center to obtain control. Two separate Vok sentry units (consisting of about a hundredish each for our joyous disposal) try to stop the Maxies and Preds.

2) We all get along and find the Vok weapon. We accidentally activate it and realize that it will destroy the Earth if we don't stop it. Hundreds of sentry drones attack us while we fight our way towards the central command center and destroy the artifact for good.

Hm.. except there isn't 8 characters..
I guess Angel wont appear til later.. not that she can really fight.. and Tantrum is supposed to show up sometime. Might have to talk to Wulf about that.
That have appeared
Maximals:
Xzuk
Orcanier
Moonshine

Predacons:
Sonar
Glowstick
Lineos
Snow trix

Now as for getting Sonar.. Orcanier probably has a better shot at finding him then most since he has long range radar and sonar, he'd probably notice being actively pinged. Glowstick may notice sonar pings being a sound freak, but probably wont be able to find him as easily. Though the others seem to be noticing his killing intent floating about..

Which just leads to finding Snow again unless she finds Xzuk, and so on. The Maximals will probably find it easier to set up leader for their team to go forward.. the Predacons.. Not so much. Sonar seems like a hardcore loner, Glowstick wouldn't be trusted by anyone for his friendly ambiguous act, and Lineos would probably just try to beat the copper out of everybody to take the position.

Ok, so it sounds like we'll be better off sticking together. However, if I find Sonar, you guys gotta save my hide! Chances are that a confrontation with a flier in the middle of dry land (especially his lair) would leave me vulnerable to energon radiation.

= immobility = crazy experiments = death

Ok?
