Name: Crosshairs Appearance: Species: Cybertronian Faction: Autobot Function: Paratrooper Alternate Mode: Chevy Corvette C7 Bio: Despite being a trusted member of the Autobots, Crosshairs is much more of a loner, proffering to work on his own to get tasks done. This isn't out of any malice towards his fellow bots, he just believes he can do it better without anyone else to potentially screw it up. When he has to be put in a team, he'll only reply with simple answers, not taking part in any conversations. Still, when the chips are down, Crosshairs is known to come into his own, using his pin-point accuracy and full auto smgs to lay waste to his foes. There is one simple way to know whether you're in his crosshairs, Why? Simple, you'll be able to hear the shot.

Now hiding his face behind a mask, he only seeks one thing; revenge, he spends his available time tracking down Lockdown, wanting to give Lockdown way more than just scars.

He is able to memorize maps, roadsigns and cities like the back of his hands, allowing him to traverse them with ease. This makes him the go to Bot to search for any rogue Decepticons while hit fellow bots clean up any messes they happen to leave behind.

Even when he does talk, it's only to point out the task/problem at hand. But what he lacks in words, he more than makes up for in skills. He's one of the deadliest assassins of the Cybertronian race and has racked up a high amount high value targets on his body count, preferring to kill in the than go in guns blazing. Weapons/Abilities: Photon Sniper Rifle, Energon Knife Tech Specs -Strength: 5 -Intelligence: 8 -Speed: 8 -Endurance: 5 -Rank: 7 -Courage: 5 -Firepower: 7 -Skill: 10 Voice Actor (Optional): Jason Statham Name: Ruckus Appearance: Species: Cybertronian Faction: Decepticon Function: Warrior Alternate Mode: Saleen S-150 Lighting Bio: One look at the disheveled, dented Ruckus is enough to make most bots reconsider starting a fight with him. They reason that anyone that looks that bad but still strutting around isn't a bot to mess with, they're right. Ruckus is one of the meanest, loudest, and bravest Decpticons still functioning and has no problem standing out from the crowd. He used to be a much smaller bot, but was rebuilt as a reward for his loyalty. Now, he wears his scars as a symbol of pride.

One of the best trap makers on either side of the war, his traps have been his main help in body count, trapping his opponents and opening fire on them. He does have a dependency on the traps though, meaning he has to rely on himself once they go down.

If you need images of Lightspeed, you can always use in-hand images of Combiner Wars Lightsteed or Unite Warriors Lightspeed. Both provide a good Earth Mode for him, though given CW Lightsteed had Streetwise's head, UW would probably be better. If neither of those work for you, you could also try Maketoys Celeritas, a third party figure based on Lightspeed.
An image of Lightspeed would be preferable, though if you want you could photoshop the image of stinger to better resemble Lightspeed's colour palette. If you are unable to yourself, I'm sure there are people in the fan art section on this site who can help
Not trying to be rude mate but these designs are too bayverse (aka ugly) and probably won't fit the rp. We're going for something like the IDW Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation-era designs and story. G1 Designs with emphasis on robots in disguise, rather than obnoxiously realistic robots with super car alt modes. Find pictures similar to that Ruckus or Roadtrap of yours, that's what you should be looking for, something more G1 like. Even the bumblebee movie designs can work but anything else from the other movies is probably not a good idea.
Anything is up to interpretation CyberRavager, it is all in the artists mind. Also, we never said anything about this being in a set universe.
I think Dev mentioned something about it actually. And as you can see, he is strongly against the designs BRX picked.
Well, I still wouldn't diss another player's choices in aesthetics and design choices. We all have our own sets and styles, but it's all up to what we want the designs to look like. Even though the Bay designs may look ugly, it's just a reference as to what the character might look like. And it's not that Dev isn't against the designs, that's just Dev giving his opinion. Anyways, let's talk about this elsewhere. I don't wanna clutter up the sign-up forum.
Please do not misinterpret words or try to read into things that just aren't there. My only concern is Stinger's image being used for a different character. I have no issues with movie designs being used. Movie designs were incorporated in G1 media, like IDW and Timelines, so I have no problems with the designs themselves.
Anywho, progressing onward, I'm happy to say the official RP thread is up! Feel free to post and enjoy! You can find it here.
Mind if I join in? Name: Sunstreaker Appearance: Species: Cybertronian Faction: Autobot Function: Speedster, Hit and Run expert Alternate Mode: 2017 Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce Roadster Bio: Sunstreaker is the epitome of vanity, arrogance, and ego, but at least he cares about his brother, Sideswipe, enough to know the good guys from the bad. He often visits his brother when he's stuck in the brig, and is seen beside him on the battlefield, though he won't stop complaining about how his paintjob gets chipped and ruined with every nick and scratch he receives in battle. Albeit, the biggest reason Sunstreaker has been kept by Optimus is because he's got the best skill in the business at taking out enemies, from range to close quarters, Sunstreaker is the best at what he does, and makes everyone know it. Over, and over, and over again.

He finds a sort of tranquility and peace out in the open terra unclaimed by mankind that he couldn't find back on Cybertron.

He despises getting involved in the heat of battle, preferring to draw up strategies that will obliterate his enemies long before they see him. Most mistake this for cowardice, until they see how ruthless and violent Onslaught can be in battle, Weapons/Abilities: Twin shoulder mounted cannons, Triple ranged Energon rifle, missiles, and Sonic stun gun.

He has always been of two minds with aliens. He believes that there are good guys, and bad guys, no matter where you come from, but discerning who are the good and who are the bad is the tricky part. From his youth, he had a keen eye and perception of character. As a member of Sector 7, Fowler uses this to compose profiles of aliens who have landed upon the planet, laying out their activities, their patterns, and zeroing in on their next move.
