We've coalesced some TF plans for the Decepticons.

I'll be taking G1 Cannonball, Twirl, and a version of Cybertron Hardtop.

dill will be taking a female version of Roadblock, Snapdragon, Deluge, and perhaps more.

ToN has his two OCs.

Chief has Dreadwing.

Mike in addition to Stalker will have Dreadwind.

Be sure to scroll down these and see if anyone interests you.

I did say I wanted Energon Scorponok, as a Decepticon heavy hitter and preferably a notable arc villain.

Scarf, do you remember some PMs I sent you on Omni back in the day, regarding my ideas for an original Cybertronian squad consisting of original versions of Rodimus, Airazor, Countdown (Red Alert redeco), Landmine, Wing Saber and Quickstrike (Energon Bulkhead redeco)? Their profiles still exist in CE's old Ideas Thread, and I do want to bring them into this RP as a traveling band of displaced Autobots who do not have many ties to the main Autobot faction.

To recap their personalities:

Rodimus: Antiheroic leader with a ruthless streak.
Airazor: Former Aerialbot spy who is both idealistic and hardened in different ways.
Countdown: Schizophrenic scientist who occasionally reverts back to his original identity of Red Alert.
Landmine: Veteran combat engineer, grown weary of war.
Wing Saber: Overly competitive bombardier who's always looking for a fight.
Quickstrike: Irreverent, cocky martial artist who frequently draws the ire of his teammates.

Their ship was called the Iron Hope. In this RP, I will eliminate the dimension-crossing elements present in their original incarnations, but I ask for enough creative freedom to modify their backstories accordingly.

Soo... After a bit of thinking I decided on a few things concerning the Decepticons. First, I think I may drop Hakken he's not as fully realized in my head as Skullcross is but since this is the brainstorming thread I'll keep his micro-profile around for consideration. Second, decided on some new 'Cons for the jolly crew.

Female versions of Motormaster, Drag Strip and Dead End


Finally had an idea but I recalled CF3 saying he'd allow the Decepticons to have one giant on the team. How about everyones favorite robo-godzilla? :P

feel free to reject this and have fortress maximus smack me over the head

10/10 would not mind at female versions of 3/5 of the Stunticons, though at that point we might as well have the other two, and they can be portioned accordingly. Will see what others think.

For the pirates? Probbbaalllyyy not. Trypticon could fight an entire army, much less some cadets and Ironhide. You have permission to RP him in the final finale invasion of Cybertron tho.

Roger that boss. I'd be willing to take the other two if no one else is interested.

And alrighty, I figured he might be a tad OP but thought I may as well ask. I'd be glad to RP him for the invasion. :D

If he gets Trypticon, I want Omega Supreme coming in at around the same time.

As for more Decepticons, I'd like these two:

Epoch of Glass
Hello cadets. My name is Rewind, an archivist with the Information Ministry. I've been called here today to give you a brief overview of Cybertronian history. Even in consideration of the particular circumstances of this camp, the history of our race is requisite knowledge. As has been said, those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and believe me when I say the past of our race is not something you would want to experience. Yes Cadet Freeline, that is a camera attached to my head. Yes, it is recording. It's always recording. Nobody ever knows what will turn out to be historically significant or not. For all I know, all of you cadets will save Cybertron someday. Of course, there's equal chance you'll all be plunged into the sun or something. History isn't something simple or even predictable. Just like life.

I have just about anything remotely significant recorded in my databanks, so feel free me to ask me questions about anything at any time. No Cadet Flareup, this lecture is not optional. Yes, it will have pictures, audio, and visuals. I promise it won't be 'boring'. Yes Cadet Slug, there will be Dinobots. No Cadet Medivac, I have no intention of sugarcoating the war in any way, or insulting pacifistic individuals or those who would sympathize with the Decepticons. A good historian is one who's good at analyzing every point of view, after all. What I say will be entirely objective. Yes Cadet Wheeljack, I will note important scientific advances, and yes, Perceptor will be mentioned a number of times. Captain Ironhide, why are you raising your hand? Yes, you and your role in battles will be mentioned. Any more? No? Then let's begin.

The history of Cybertronian civilization is divided into five epochs. The Epoch of Glass, the Epoch of Steel, the Epoch of Gold, the Epoch of Ruin, and the Epoch of Renewal, which is the one we are currently living in and the one all of you cadets were born into. Of course, these epochs are only what is historically verifiable. I can't answer questions about how Cybertron was formed, or how the Cybertronian race came to be, or whether the alternate mode or robot came first. There are no straight answers to those questions, and the last thing I want to do is drag this into a religious debate. No Cadet Slug, Grimlock will not be mentioned until the Epoch of Gold, since he was not alive until the Epoch of Gold. No Slug, you may not leave during the portions of the lecture without Grimlock. Now then, onto the first Epoch, the Epoch of Glass.

The beginning of the Epoch of Glass is dated to around eight hundred million years ago. The earliest records of Cybertronian civilization and activity can be traced to that time period. Of course, considering this planet's rather volatile history, it's entirely possible and more than likely that the beginning of organized Transformer activity is far earlier. Yes Cadet Slug, the image I'm projecting right now is of a spearhead. Your eye for melee weaponry is keen. This spearhead is the first known artifact of our race, found in a cave in the Sonic Canyons. No Cadet Medivac, citing this objective fact does not qualify as glorification of war. That the fact of the matter is that Transformers have been warring since before recorded history is nothing exceptional. There is no race that does not compete for something or another, and we are no exception.

At the beginning of the Epoch of Glass, our civilization was not so much a civilization as it was a collection of smaller civilizations. Cybertronians during this time period were divided into numerous and diverse tribal groups, each with a unique culture. The tribes occupied the lands where they had been born; a tribe developed around every spark well ignited by the Well of All Sparks. Generations of Cybertronians lived out their lives around the spark wells where they had been born. They lived on an untamed planet teeming with hostile wildlife and other tribes. We know little of specifics, unfortunately, but the tribes apparently oftentimes warred. It was believed they fought over the rights to veins of energon, and to claim territory and other spark wells for their tribal chieftains and leaders. They sought to carve out safe places to live for their kin.

The Epoch of Glass stretched on for hundreds of millions of years. There are believed to have been periods of relative peace, but also periods of tensions whenever supplies ran low, or the Well of All Sparks sent out its pulses late. Thousands of unique cultures must have risen and fallen over this period of time, religions and practices and ideas forever lost to the interminable wastes of time. The Epoch of Glass seems almost idyllic; Cybertronians lived simply in villages around their places of birth, only warring if outside circumstances pushed them to. They fought only for survival. The Epoch is named as such because it seems almost an illusion, like viewing a reflective surface. We know so little of it, that even I can't be sure if we've gotten the right idea of what occurred. What we know without doubt about the Epoch of Glass is when it was shattered.

When invaders from the sky came to Cybertron.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l245/dinosaur_bob/Hoversprite001_zps506212c4.jpg Hoversprite. Alt-mode, a motor-scooter enhanced by the Allspark such that it can convert to a hover-scooter. About the height of Animated Bee but as you can see, is more slenderly built. Probably the RP's Kid Appeal Character. XP

Visor can be retracted a la Animated/Prime battle-masks; can sometimes get distracted just playing with this feature when bored. Also has a tendency to perch on Ironhide's shoulder, kicking her wheel/hover-feet, and peppering him with intermittent questions as she gazes out at everything in wonderment.


EDIT: http://zgul-osr1113.deviantart.com/art/G1-Wheeljack-97995302 The perfect Wheeljack reference for the RP as well, for safekeeping until profiles can be made.
