Correct. This will not follow the first season exactly, allowing for more flexibility

“ALERT, STASIS POD BEGINNING PLANET FALL DESCENT.”

Your core consciousness receives this message. Where are you? The last thing you can remember was entering a stasis pod to be uploaded and stored on board a space ship that was set for deep exploration. You would be reactivated to aid its crew upon awakening, but something is not right. You’re primary programming and functions are currently offline. Even your superstructure is fluctuating. What could’ve happened while you’ve been in stasis lock?

Your thoughts are interrupted by another alert from the pod’s computer.

“WARNING, SCANNERS INDICATE PLANET CONTAINS LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGON RADIATION. ALTERNATE FORM WILL BE NECESSARY TO PREVENT PERMANENT DAMAGE OR LOSS OF SPARK. POD WILL COMMENCE DNA SCAN SEQUENCE UPON LANDING. “

Slag, that’s not a good sign. While the stasis pod has its own basic landing procedures and start up program, you can influence its processes. What would like to prioritize first?

>Pod, scan for Cybertonian signatures (will land closer to one of the two bases – influence to starting faction)
>Pod, activate distress beacon (Maximal and Predacon scanners will detect your landing and will actively try to reach your pod. Chance for potential reprogramming by Predacons and high chance for combat after activation, regardless of which side.)
>Pod, focus on landing, prioritize safe zones (list of landscapes will be given and voted on. MC can land in remote areas)
>Pod, begin accessing protoform base programming (will influence beast mode selection)
>The pod’s programming knows what to do. I’ll let it handle it for the moment being. (Dice rolls for landing zone, who’s feeling lucky?)
>Write in


QM Reminder: Originally all the stasis pods on board the Axalon were Maximals, but there were a few ‘bad eggs’ in the mix (Rampage, Quickstrike – who chose to side with the Predacons due to his own programming/beast modes). Additionally Questers will influence the overall personality of the Main Character ex. An honorable, team player Predacon or a duplicitous Maximal is possible.

>>1710096
>>Pod, begin accessing protoform base programming (will influence beast mode selection)
Here's hoping for a Spinosaurus, also Beast Wars was awesome.

>>1710096
>Pod, begin accessing protoform base programming (will influence beast mode selection)

Is Rhinox a undeserving betrayer? Or is he still a bro?

>>1710096
>>Pod, begin accessing protoform base programming (will influence beast mode selection)

>>1710096
>>Pod, begin accessing protoform base programming (will influence beast mode selection)

I've never seen Beast Wars, but the animal form has to be a big influence on the character, right? Best to have more options there.

>>1710126
It was cool until they started with those hibrids transformation to make the beast closer to a machine. Although Rattrap was a pretty coll one. And of course Dinobots destiny. Humanities SAVIOR!!

>>1710126
Agreed, loved BW

>>1710127
Still a bro, none of that Beast Machines continuity. This is strictly Beast Wars

>>1710139
It depends if a pod suffered some kind of defect or was damaged in some way the animal aspect MIGHT influence the protoform inside. But i don't know if we are going to use the Hybrids transformations like Silver Wolf who was part wolf, part falcon/eagle.

>>1710142
Dinobot best bot.

>>1710139
It will have certain influences. As for options, this will be mostly determinant on base programming and location. (ex. not too many gazelles if you land in the ocean or the arctic)

You’re not sure what this planet might hold instore so it’s probably best to be prepared by remembering what you are good at.

The computer begins bringing up a series of basic functions
>Infantry
>Demolitions
>Scout

As you contemplate the options, you also try to remember that certain sized robots do better at certain functions. With your superstructure lacking a final form, you’re in a prime positon to optimize your decision. Of course, that’s just what builder bots and programmers suggest, but what do they know?

Jets and Air vs Air battles seem cool to me.

If I get out-voted, I'd at least like our Large Commando to have a "jump pack".

Hmm not a bad idea. Jump jets/pack was going to be an upgrade perk/equipment that can be accessed once the quest got into full swing.

That said i just noticed a slight error in my post. Medium size Commando should be Technician/inventer (builds stuff, like Rhinox and Tarantulus)

Hmmm I'll have to make a quick addition to my notes for the next vote

Again sorry for the mistake.

You begin to remember now.

Commandos are some of the roughest, toughest bots there are on Cybertron. Whether it’s being dropped in to the middle of a hot zone or surviving behind enemy lines, Commandos get the job done.

You were also a large bot, capable of throwing down with your top of the line combat programming and heavier weaponry. Sure your size makes you a larger target and slower than those smaller nimble bots, but who needs stealth when you’ve got ammo and armor in spades.
But some bots have secondary functions as well. Did you?

You prefer the feeling of scraping your adversaries up close and personal. Nothing beats the feeling of watching the sparks ignite and microchips fly from a powerful swing of your weapon.

That’s right! Lost in your thoughts, you almost spaced on that fact that you’re headed for an unknown planet. You’ll need to decide to you look for your signs of the ship you were with or just focus on safety landing.

Getting down to the planet won’t be too difficult. If things get rough you can always rely on the pods rocket thrusters to assure a safe landing. But you may need them to navigate anomalies of terrain. No need to use them now, unless you wish to increase your speed. It’ll make slowing down for a safe landing trickier of course but you’re one badass bot.

One of your old squad mates from your commando unit liked to say said, “Any landing you can walk away from,” but how much time did they spend in the CR Chamber? Huh, wonder what ever happened to that guy…or was it a gal? Hmm. Anyways, you’re no fool. Better to land in one piece.

The pod flies down, starting to slow down. A small alarm goes off as you feel the pod rock a bit.
“Computer, report.”

MINOR COLLISION WITH LOCAL FLORA. DAMAGE TO STASIS POD MINIMAL.

Damn auto pilots. Give me a real pilot any day, you think to yourself. You hear the sound of the thrusters begin to fire. Must be getting closer now. The pod does a small hop as it lands, basically a safe landing.

“BEGINNING REPLICATION”

You feel the computer assembling your parts. The rush of the energon surging your frame as you is put into beast mode by the computer to protect your form from the radiation.

“START UP PROGRAM COMPLETE. OPENNING POD DOOR.”

With the stasis pod opening you finally emerge, a massive orange cat with black stripes with large fangs. You climb out and walk around your former pod for a brief moment. This creature appears to have everything you’re looking for: power, ferocity speed. Clearly it must have been an apex predator in its prime. Yes, you’ve chosen a good form for yourself.

But now, what should I call myself? I don’t recall exactly my old name, but that was another world and other life. Here in this new planet I shall be known as…

“Warpath” you speak followed up with a roar. This seems to surprise the local wild life, a pack horned herbivores even takes off, kicking up a cloud of dust. You can’t help but grin at your own awesomeness.

But now that’s out of the way, what are you going to do now? You’re a warrior and there’s nothing to really fight out here. Even the beasts don’t seem much like sport compared to you. You look back at the stasis pod. Perhaps you could salvage some parts from it. Never know when you might need a few extra components. Sure you’re not exactly a technician but it could always come in handy.

As you contemplate what to do, you are distracted by a beeping sound followed by the ships computer.

You don’t know who or what this is, but you’re not about to back down. You climb on top of the stasis pod and wait. You can’t help but snarl, your massive canine fangs only looking more impressive.

As the figure gets closer, you can finally see it clearly. It’s a large avian creature. The sharp talons on its legs clearly indicate it’s predator as well. Perhaps a worthy opponent?

The large bird flies closer now and has taken notice of your presence though it seems to slow down keeping to the air. Maybe close enough to tackle in your beast mode. It seems to be looking over the area, flapping its wings in place.

“Hmm, Looks like the pods in one piece,” the bird says. “Though I didn’t expect it to be guarded. Are you one of Tigatron’s wild friends?” Is it mocking you?

You narrow your eyes. It’s doesn’t seem to realize who or what you are.

>Remain where you are; let the bird make the first move.

You stand your grown atop the pod. If this bird means to fight let her make the first move.

The bird still lingering in the air, keeps moving her eyes back and forth between you and the stasis pod.

“Look kitty cat, I don’t have time to play right now.”

More mockery?! It dares think me some lowly kitten?! You roar another challenge towards her.

“Whoa, easy there. Look I’m not going to hurt you.”

As if she could, those talons are sharp but no match for you.

“I’m trying to get to one of my people’s friends inside there.”

Friend? What is it talking about? Should I try talking to this creature? Or is this some kind of trick to throw you off guard?

Though I like the silent threat Prime made soundwave. He was always the most threatening decepticon when he did anything

exactly. Prime was wary of him for a dam good reason. He knew that if SW wanted to go his own way, or even worse, take over the decepticons, he could fucking do it. And that silent threat alone from one bot had Prime tactically shitting energon.

>Remain where you are and speak to this bird

“Who are you to order me, around bird?”

The bird seems almost taken aback. “Wait a second…you’re…are you the Maximal protoform?”

You silently stare at the falcon. It slowly lowers down, landing on the ground near the stasis pod but not too close.

“I emerged from this pod, yes,” you look down at the bird. “What of it?”

“My name is Airazor. I’m a Maximal like you. Watch.” The bird takes to steps back.

“Airazor, Maximize!” The bird transforms into a female robot. Kind of frail looking, hardly a threat to your power, but you’re no fool. She could just as easily be trying to get the drop on you.

“See? I’m like you. What’s your name? You have one don’t you? Were you damaged?”

You take in all her questions, but remain stoic. Should I trust her? Before you speak up, the pods computer activates again.

“ALERT, ADDITIONAL ENERGY SIGNATURES DETECTED.”

>Remain in beast mode and demand to know who the pod is talking about.

You growl as the alert sounds. This could be trap like you anticipated.

“Who is the pod talking about?!”

Airazor raise her hands up defensively. “Whoa, There’s no need to get so aggressive. Allow me to look. I’ll prove that I’m not your enemy.”

The fembot turns her back to you as she takes back to the air. Not a bad view considering but also a careless move. Only a fool would turn their back to an enemy. Maybe she’s telling the truth. She starts scanning the area when she locks on to the source.

“Don’t worry,” She says as she descends back to the ground. “More of our comrades are coming. Just wait a moment.”

Hmm, you’ll be the judge of that.

>Rolled 84

Only a few moments pass to when you see the approaching flying robot. Airazor returns to her beast mode standing close but not too close to you and the pod.

“You know,” She says breaking the silence. “You still haven’t told me who you are.”

She’s not wrong but you remain silent as the sound of jet engines closes in and your attention is brought to a larger bot of black and grey. It seems he’s been in this form for a while as his robot mode seems to be showing signs of energon build up.

“Airazor, are you alright? Is that the new Maximal?”

“Well…” she gives you a questioning glance.

>”You all keep calling me that. Don’t I have a say in this?”

Your response takes grey and black robot by surprise. Airazor seems a bit stunned as well, though her expression seems…hurt?

“Well, allow me to explain.” The robot transforms while landing into a large black primate. He lands on both all fours but quickly rises on two legs. “My name is Optimus Primal, leader of the Maximals and captain of the Axalon. Our ship was shot down and we had to eject all our stasis pods, our crew into orbit.” Optimus expressive face almost softens when he mentions the last part.

This seems to make sense though. You remember being on a ship, being part of a crew and you had just been in space not too long ago. This much seems true.

“Who shot you down? Didn’t you bother to fight?”

Optimus nods, “Of course we did, but the Axalon wasn’t a warship, it’s an exploration vessel. We had initially set out for a deep space journey of discovery.” His tone shifts “But Megatron, the leader of the Predacons, had stolen a ship and an old Cybertronian relic. We were the only one’s close enough to chase after him.”

“Gutsy.”

“Which part?” Airazor questions you.

“Both.”

“You sound like you admire them.” She says with growing concern on her avian features.

“So you just ditched your crew in orbit?”

“What? No!” Optimus gets defensive. “The Predacons damaged our stasis hold; we had to eject them in order to keep them from being damaged or worst destroyed.” He takes a step towards you, as if to almost challenge you. “I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my people safe. Remember that.”

There’s silence for a brief moment. But again Optimus speaks up. “Look, I can’t force you to join us. But know that you ARE a Maximal, one of us. You’re welcome to join us and we’ll show you we can be your allies, friends and family.”

There’s great conviction in his words. Maybe he’s rehearsed this speech? Regardless the idea of having comrades again seems enticing.

Airazor straightens up. “He’s telling the truth. I wasn’t as fortunate as you when I landed. I almost lost my spark. But they saved me. Please, give us a chance.”

>”I won’t join anyone without having first tested their mettle.”

“What,” Airazor does a quick hop backwards. “You, you can’t be serious.”

You jump off the stasis pod, onto the ground, giving you and Optimus a bit of space. “Very. What do you say Optimus, I challenge you to prove yourself worthy of my loyalty.”

“This isn’t necessary.” Optimus says, but laments “But if it’s the only way…”

“It is.”

“Very well. I accept your challenge.”

Airazor transforms “No, Optimus. You still have energon build up.” She turns to you, “I don’t want this but let me fight in his stead.”

You roar causing both Optimus and Airazor to flinch as you transform into your robot warrior mode, as you stand tall. “Negative. He’s your leader, so he’s my opponent. Besides, you don’t exactly look like much of a challenge to face me.” You reach behind you and draw forth your Halberd, made from your beast mode’s spine. Its sharp, serrated boney blade only adds to your fearsome display.

“I may not look it but I stand my ground to anyone looking to hurt my friends.” Airazor taking great offense to your comment, she appears to have a few small wrist mounted launchers. She’s got guts, you’ll give her that, but she doesn’t know who she’s messing with.

“Stand down Airazor. I can handle this. Optimus Primal, Maximize.” The ape roars as he returns back to his robot mode. You see his form slightly flicker from the energon. Maybe it’s too soon to fight him. You don’t want to win on a technicality. That’s not how you do things. But Optimus almost appears to catch what you’re thinking.

“Computer, transfer energy weapons array to energon dampeners. Maximum tolerance.” He draws to curved swords from over his shoulders. “Airazor, keep an eye out for any possible Predacons. I won’t have them interfering or trying to get the drop on us.”

“But…”

“That’s an order.” Optimus states.

Airazor, simply nods, but continues to give you a cautious lingering look. “As you wish, Optimus.”

“I trust you’re finally ready?” You say. You make a fist as your beast mode fangs spring out, revealing a spiked power fist.

Optimus does a quick movement with his swords. “Ready and Primed.”

Halberd.

Optimus is a thinker, the longer we wait the more strategies he can make up against us. Lead in first, take control of the battle and put him on the back foot.

>>1712271
>>Seize the initiative, make the first move.
Halberd, try to knock him off-balance. I'd like to aim more for a contest of skill and wit and less brute strength that way we avoid unessecary injury.

>>1712278

Also, I think we shouldn't be the super honorable fighter. That's dinobots nich. We should have a different honor. Like, pragmatic honor. "You beat me by having an ally flank me while I was distracted into thinking this was a one on one, I admit defeat"

You give off a vicious battle roar as you lunge towards Optimus. Your weapon’s range should give you the advantage. Keep him off balance is a sound strategy.

>Attack Roll Warpath: 91
>Optimus Roll: 100, 93

You’re gonna set the pace for this fight and with a strong thrust of your Halberd, you’ve got Maximal dead in your sights.

But Optimus swings around his blade knocking away your halberd’s thrust. He spins around past your assault and swinging his sword, and narrowly misses you from behind. You stumble a little but wth a quick pivot you regain your footing and whip around. How long were you in that pod?.

“You’re going to have to do better than that.” Optimus smiles “Fortunately, the Maximals we have an excellent close combat expert who might be able to help refine your attacks.”

You growl at Primals goading. It bothers you to remember that he’s also not fighting at hundred percent. Maybe he’s a fiercer warrior than you gave him credit for. You’ll show him how tough you are.

You decide that rushing in again would be foolish, you’ve got the reach now is the time to use it

>Warpath attack 64
>Optimus defense 38
Keep your distance and using the versatility of your weapon, you manage to get a clean strike on the Maximal Leader before he can parry your attack a second time. Airazor gives a concern look; she doesn’t seem confident that you’re holding back. But Optimus continues the fight.

>Optimus attack 65
>Warpath defense 75
Optimus regains his ground and attempts to deflect your Halberd away again to close the gap, but you’re ready for him this time. You pull the Halberd back, causing him to swing at air, only to have to use his attacking swing to defend to prevent leaving himself open to another attack.

“Not bad,” Optimus says with a nod. He doesn’t seem to be lying. You think he’s genuinely impressed. “You show great potential. Now let’s see how you handle the unexpected.” He starts spinning his blades around, and seems to be holding his place.

He’s up to something, but you’re not quite sure what.

>Go for your own surprise move. Switch to beast mode and lunge attack him.

Optimus stops spinning his blades and you hear the sound of jets firing. He’s going to try an jumping sword strike. Crafty, but you know how to do that too. Optimus isn’t the only one who can improvise.

“Beast mode.” You transform back into your Saber-tooth Tiger form and spring a surprise attack of your own.

>Warpath attack 92
>Optimus evasion 7

“Aaaaaah.” Optimus is completely taken by surprise by your unexpected tactic and you knock him clean out of the air. You have enough momentum going you make it a full pounce and land on top of him. With one attack he drops one of his swords and it slides away.

“No! Optimus!” Airazor looks as if she’s about to take a step closer, moving her arm upwards to take aim with her wrist launchers, but stops herself. As much as it pains her to sit on the side line, she won’t interfere unless you take the fight into more dangerous territory.

You look down at the Gorilla, you roar in his face with a primal furry.

“Ugh, I’m not done yet.” He says, struggling against your claws.

You try to keep him pinned as he fidgets under your weight. “Surrender, Optimus. I’ve won our challenge.”

“Well…that’s…just…PRIME!” Optimus lets out a loud grunt, as he lets go of his other sword and powers out of your pin. He rolls away as you land on your feet a few meters away.

You notice Optimus starts flinching; energon build up. “Beast mode.” With that he returns to his gorilla form. He’s breathing a bit heavier. You are too, but are keeping it well hidden.

“So you want to continue then?” you ask as you stare him down.

He rubs his shoulder, leaning against your stasis pod, “Well I’ll say this. You definitely one of the toughest fighters I’ve met.” He looks at you, considering. “I’ll concede this fight to you.”

You smile. Yes! Victory! Even if it was just a glorified sparring match, you proved how powerful you are.
“So I take it you won’t be joining us?” Airazor says dejectedly. She too has returned to her beast mode.

Optimus stands up straight again. “Well, let the record show that you have a place with us if you chose.”

He’s not wrong, the terms of your fight was to test the Maximals mettle and they’ve shown themselves to not only be strong capable fighters but honorable to their terms.

“But if you chose to go it alone, you’re bound to run into the Megatron and his Predicons.” Optimus tone changes, “and he doesn’t take no for an answer.”

If he wishes to challange us again sometime, we would welcome the same conditions.

Come on guys, our pro tag won only because the Big O has pre-existing damage/energon-buildup.

>>1712723
Getting too much on the honor thing though, would just make us Cat Dinobot.

Respect Optimus for not stepping down even though he was damaged, respect him for the fight he put up even though he was damaged.
But in the end, we won so terms are ours to set.

>>1712469
>>You’ve show me your worth, I’ll join you. (Become a Maximal)

Support. We don't need to be full time Maximals. Let's explore the world a little.

Plus this'll make it easier to be buddies with Waspinator if he knows we're not technically a Maximal.

I totally think we could go for being independant but leaning Maximal. It could be Hard Mode for the quest, but I think fits what we've generally been going for so far.

Not bad for a first time QM session!

>>1712469
>>You’ve show me your worth, I’ll join you. (Become a Maximal)

Supporting this. Give them whatever passes for a phone number to those two to stay in contact in case they need a tough as fuck warrior in times of danger.

Also, ask them more about the predacons, they sound like an honorless bunch of jerks if they don't respect the freedom and independence of their soldiers.

Hey everyone, just popping in real quick, before updating the pastebin.


From the looks of it, Warpath will be an independant opperator but with some allegence to the Maximals.

While there's some talk of playing for both teams, this is doable but as someone said, 'Hard Mode'.
I'll be honest, was really hoping against the neutral path, but hey thats questing. Lets see where this takes us.

I will mention that successfully doing mercenary work for both sides will mostly depend on how well you are at discretion. Openly aiding another faction on the battle field for example will be seen as a betrayal to the otherside. Seeing as Warpath likes to do things up close and personal this may be difficult. That said, there may be oppertunites of doing some 'backroom' dealings with more duplicitous individuals.

Next thing i noticed was the decision on whether or not to be honorable. I am trying to avoid portraying him as Cat Dinobot, but warpath does still have his old Maximal programming so it'll be up to the players how that works out.

Lastly for the moment being is character stats. I was originally planning on doing this at the end of the thread (assuming a faction had been chosen) but having things go longer than anticiapted I was a bit too tired to work on it. The stat block is based on the old beast wars toyline (see the pic for an idea of this.)

So based on the results of this thread, I determined the following stats (1 is the lowest while 10 is the max)

Strength: 7
Intelligence: 4
Speed: 7
Endurance: 6
Rank ???
Courage: 9
Firepower: 2
Skill: 6

These are all subject to change (see OP) or if any feel we some of these stats should be reallocated, feel free to speak up.

If anyone has any questions or comments I'll keep an eye on this thread.

>>1713468
Alternatively, they sound like a very Darwinian culture we would enjoy being a part of. Survival of the fittest

>>1712469
>>I’ll stay on my own for now. (Remain independent)
Lone wolf time! Except, without all of the "dying due to the strength of wolves being their pack hunting" problem.

>>1713504
I'm not a big fan of working with the predacons, especially with how we're playing him. Like I said, I just don't want to be tied down following the show plot by being a permanent Maximal.
I'm totally for the Maximals calling us for help sometimes and then us doing our own thing otherwise.

Like a path that intersects with the show plot sometimes, but otherwise is it's own story.

>>1713691
Well even if you were to be Maximal or Predicon, we're not following the shows plot verbatim. Its kinda loosy goosy, if that allays your concerns about being one faction or the other.
Like even though both sides have their full cast from the show, anything Vok related is still a ways out. So no big boom creating Transmetals/Fuzors for sometime.

Of course as it stands most folks want to be independent. So that's how it'll be until the vote says otherwise.

What counts as 'Maximal' vs 'Independent'?
Tigertron was a Maximal, but did his own thing most of the time. It sounds like that's our path, only with less mourning and serenity, and more rip-and-tear. And we've determined we're not actually going to defect and buddy up with the Predacons either way, so we might as well take that comms link even if we go loner for now; we still have our programming and we haven't defected so we're really still a maximal, even if we're not currently adhering to the theoretical maximal leadership structure on the planet. I mean, Tarantulus was actively and openly working against Megatron at one point yet he was still Predacon.

Personally my hope is we just go around the place traveling ronin style.

See the sights, take in the views, take anything shiny we like for ourselves, pull a tarantulus and build a lair, ect. ect.

List of Predacons worth working with

1. Waspinator

2. See 1.

Honestly the rest of them are backstabbing bitches at their best or scycophantic/brain damaged idiots loyal only to megatron.

At least Waspinator had the balls to quit /and/ tell two of the craziest bastards still alive to kiss his stripy yellow ass.

>>1713720
Damn I crashed and missed the voting! Sabertooth Tiger is cool, wanted Spinosaurus. Oh well. But not going Maximal and broing it up with Dinobot? Heresy.

Yea remembered you kept swinging for that and I put Spinosaurus but sabertooth tiger proved to be a tad more popular.

>>1713817
This is true. I was considering handling it more like Tigatron. Who knows, debating on how certain rolls go, you may run into him soon. Just have to wait and see. Partially Airazor is similar in that she's out scouting often but she returns to base more frequently. It was a toss up on who you were gonna encounter first.

>>1713955
Well to be fair, it took the end of the series for Waspinator to wise up and quit.

>>1713817
Also to better answer the difference between "Maximal" and "Independent"
1. Consistent access to the Axalon, Private living quarters, better access to the CR chamber in the event of major damage, access to tech and upgrades for future engagements.

2. More interactions with allies, going on missions, reconnaissance and such. What I always loved about Beast Wars was the dynamic the characters had with each other since it was a smaller cast than say G1 so you could build more on those relationships/battle synergy/moral (If you and a ally have a strong friendship, and vote to perform a complex combat maneuver, I would dismiss any 'critical fail' rolls)

a few other things but i dont have my notes handy atm

>>1714069
Social links? In Beast Wars? Duuuuuuuuude. I'm a little more rustled I missed the vote.

>>1714108
Transformers Dating Sim Quest

>>1714273
Shin Megami Beast Wars. Which sounds dope.

>>1714285
Or Persona Beast Wars. Which sorta works.

>>1714042
Perhaps when we run across Waspinator alone in our travels, we might be able to nudge him in the "FUCK YOU I DO WHAT I WANT" way of living a little earlier than canon.

I honestly think Waspinator was the hidden gem of a character for the whole series. He deserved far better than he got.

His spark is also old as balls if I recall correctly. Like G1 old. The reason he's so scatterbrained is that he's waaaay overdue for a defrag of the ol' harddrive, if you know what I'm saying.

Okay here's what we do. We go independent, and start stealing bots from both sides and make our own side.

>>1714888
What we do, is go independent, then find our way into Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo.

>>1714616
I can support this, having a flyer on our side would be nice. And if that's the case, Wasp is an elder and deserves respect

>>1714015

I don't think the vote has actually been declared over yet? QM, correct that if I'm wrong.

>>1715199
Um well voting usually last 10 mins (i usually add a bit of time depending on the hour and when the first vote comes in) But technically yea its been over. I probably should have made the official declaration but it was 5 am for me and the quest had gone on for almost 10 hrs. I'll strive to do better in the future.

But like i said, its a quest so things can definitely change. There is some leaning towards maximal but with more of that Tigatron feel.

>>1715203
Just for the record we're cooler than Tigatron though.

>>1715214
The coolest of cats

>>1715226
And whats cooler than being cool?

>>1715230
Fire.

[Thread possibly in an hour and a half; pending access to my notes and some up coming con business]

Otherwise next session will be on next Wednesday as originally planned

Sweet.

Welcome to the Beast Wars Pt 2

Character info pastebin (will be filled upon completion of character creation): https://pastebin.com/fqsyvZJw
Twitter: TBD

General Rules:
When: Aiming to post every Wednesday

10 min voting period after each main post. Write-ins votes are welcomed/encouraged. Votes that are non-contradictory and add to the narrative will be considered. Think 'Rule of Cool'

Combat mechanics/skill test will be done using best three of first five rolls of 1d100, unless otherwise specified. Modifiers may come into play depending on the MC's statistics which can improve odds and vice versa as the QM sees fit. The QM will do their best to inform players of when such modifiers will come up during votes. (Example: Aiming at a target at long range with a scattershot weapon will require a higher roll to make a successful hit than say a normal blaster weapon).

Interacting/training with other bots and successful missions can add to your overall abilities. Strong character relationships with your comrades can also benefit the MC as it will improve battle synergy and moral (less likely to want to fall back/retreat). Of course the vice versa can come into play as well. A failed mission may have consequences but result in unforeseen outcomes (Show ex, Tarantulus, Black Arachnia, & Quickstrike were supposed to secure an energon post. The Maximals interfered, resulting in the loss of the post BUT Tarantulus gained a new lair.).

Also keep an eye out at your energon build up levels; too much time in robot mode outside of a structure, such as a base can cause negative impacts on your combat maneuvers/skill test, including potential loss of spark. In the event of loss of spark, pending the results of a vote, a time lapse in the narrative will happen and a new stasis pod will fall. (Roll for new character or with a high relation level, a blank protoform will descend and your allies will reignite your spark)

Last time on Beast Wars...
Your stasis pod has landed on an unknown energon rich planet without incident. Emerging from the pod was Warpath, the Front line Commando Saber-tooth Tiger. After activation, you encountered Maxiamls Airazor and Optimus Primal whom tried to persuade you to join their ranks. After a quick combat trial, which you were victorious, you've chosen to maintain your independence, but their tenacity has left an impact.

Hows everyone's evening/night

>I’ll stay on my own for now (Remain independent)

You contemplate your options, but you feel that you’d rather go it alone for now.

“I’d prefer to blaze my own trail for now,” You say assuredly. “But tell me more about this Megatron.”

Airazor gives a look to Optimus, but he raises his hand.

“Megatron is the leader of the Predacons. He’s dangerous individual attempting to secure a massive amount of energon, restart the Great War and won’t stop until he’s achieved galactic conquest.”

Sounds like a tough customer. Wonder how he’d fair against your claws.

“Anything else I should know about?”

“We have a few of our scouts out here, not unlike you. You’ve already met our air scout.” Optimus gestures towards Airazor. “Tigatron is also out in the northern snow lands but he’s known to come down these parts.”

The falcon looks back to you. “What should we call you then? So our other Maximal allies can make themselves known to you.” Her expression shows her cautiousness. “So you don’t perceive them as an enemy.”

“Warpath.”

“Subtle.”

You can’t help but smirk. She’s doesn’t seem as naïve or self-assured as she did when she just brashly approached you. Can’t tell if that’s a good thing or bad.

>”So what about the pod?”
>”Where are these Predacons?” Maybe I should investigate these Predacons. See them for myself.
>”Where’s this base of yours? Should I wish to contact you?”
>If there’s nothing else to ask, you’ll take your leave.


[sorry for delay, dinner showed up mid write]

Write ins also acceptable if theres somethng you guys think of that i didnt, just spaced on adding it in.

>>1717641

>”Where’s this base of yours? Should I wish to contact you?”

Might as well get their phone number while we're here. Never know when we're going to run into them again.

>Write-in

You've told me about megatron, but what of the other predacons?
