There were a few characters drawn in robot mode that had no discernible beast mode attributed to them, such as Polar Claw and Snapstalker. Well, Polar Claw did have a beast mode... but we have too many Grykens and Snowstalkers as it is (Cheetor, Primal, Tigatron, Polar Claw, /and/ Silverbolt). There are a few other characters that share beast modes as well. Should these be changed so that we don't have so many repeats? I'd like for there to be more beast modes per character... let's brainstorm on some alternates for these guys.

Also, the '(*)' beside a character's name means that I: altered the name and am still not completely satisfied with it, don't agree with the name or beast mode used, believe there may be an error in what I've written down, and/or would like to see a better name given that reflects the new beast mode (in the case that a character's original name was derived from their beast mode).

I'd like the team to field some suggestions, so let's get to it!

RAMHORN:

Ram Horn is a certified psychopath. He chose the alternate mode of the grimworm - an animal that makes its living by eating the rotting carcasses of other animals from the inside out - because he can relate to their methodology. Ram Horn lives to burrow inside the mind of his opponents and tear them apart from within. He also refuses to repair, replace, or upgrade his equipment and chassis unless specifically threatened by Spinkadacon with the weight of a reprimand behind it. This is because he feels that each nick, scratch, potch mark, and scar are personal marks of glory that ought to be displayed, like badges earned for exceptional deeds accomplished. These marks define his history, his ferocity, and his character. Ram Horn feels that these 'badges' are just as much a part of him as any rotor, servo, or piston.

In battle, Ram Horn weilds a veritable armory of weaponry against his enemies. He can effortlessly deploy over a dozen artillery cannons simultaneously, along with a set of swords larger than most standard-sized Maximals. For close-quarters combat, Ram Horn employs an odd, double-bladed weapon comprised of two separate, large knives joined together by a thick handle running between them perpendicularly.

SCROFANOK:

Scorponok has been reformatted, much to his own dismay, as the torpid, unassuming scrofa. Due to this deficiency, he is prone to rash and erratic behaviour in order to prove his superiority over the other Predacons - this often results in his being promptly scrapped and left wondering what happened to him from within a CR chamber. He has developed a bit of hatred, jealousy, and envy towards Spinkadacon for the Tripredacon's ability to turn a similarly feeble beast mode into a powerful killing machine in robot mode.

TERRORSOAR:

Terrorsoar is a very efficient and unrivaled killer. He, like Spinkadacon, prefer the intimate violence that comes with the mastery of the sword - a thrill and emotional rush that only master swordsmans can ever come to know and appreciate. Terrorsoar employs no major ranged weapon systems, but he has been known on occasion to throw his katanas at extreme distances to impale his opponents - and at an alarmingly high percentage of accuracy. Defensively, Terrorsoar boasts unmatched speed and agility, as well as a small cache of chaffe grenades, flares, and other effective countermeasures.

We don't need a dump thread of 750+ posts. It's too cumbersome to search through. One of the problems with the original thread is organization and user interface. The Radicons Staff has been working relentlessly with reorganizing all things in Radicons, from Customs to Fan Art. The Customs and Fan Art Galleries are two examples of these intentions and efforts.

Speaking of which, if you're designing anything (such as the sketch above), you need to start a thread in Fan Art, then hyperlink the thread in this Discussion Thread.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry.

Hey man, it's totally cool

I simply want this project to be the runaway success that it's intended to be and certainly can be. That being said, being more organized this time around as well as utilizing the new multifaceted Radicons will assist very much in this. Also, keep in mind that the Radicons Staff very much want this to happen, so we're here to lend any support we can

Also, I still want to design a character just for fun
