CLARIFYING-Don't post a whole character, take one lettered line at a time. That way each character is made of contributions from everyone!

So I came up with an idea for the heck of it. All new characters, put together by us, the fans! For now, there will be 12 characters-5 Autobots, 7 Decepticons. All different from each other, all hopefully different from existing characters. So here's the format!

1) A) Name of Character: (Try to use one that's never been used or is uber-obscure-like Torque, until recently, was just a minicon from a Japanese multi-pack until he was put in IDW and FOC, albeit as 2 different guys. If you want the character to be Female, put it in parenthesis after the name-picking the name picks the gender)
B) Alt Mode: (or a triple changer? Try not to go too nuts though,within reason. Blitzwing-good example. Broadside-bad example)
C) General Occupation: (like Prime as a cop, a job that can be pre/post war))
D) Function within Team: (like Prime being their leader. Or it could be a Ratchet-like character. Up to you! )
E) Class Size: (like in toys. Big guy, worthy of Leader Class? Or a little Scout?)
F) Special Ability: (ex: Animated Prowl's/G1 Hound's holograms
G) Special Skills: (ex: A. Prowl's ninjaness, G1 Hound's tracking abilities (more comics, I think))
H) Primary Color: (Red for Optimus)
I) Secondary Color: (Blue for Optimus)


a) Pre-War Life: (In the Golden Age. Or did he/she come online during the war? If so, give us an idea as to what that was like for him/her, or even just the early days-assume that TFs are born adults, no fanfictiony kid/teen stuff. Young at heart like BB and Wheelie is ok though)

b) War Occupation: (What he/she did during the war-try to make it interesting!)

c) Biggest Contribution/Failure: (Arcee and Tailgate, Ironfist making Prime's gun, Ratchet and Lockdown)

d) Potential Post-War Life: (think IDW. Some left the planet, some stayed on Cybertron. Would he/she pick lost light? Stay on Cybertron? What kind of business?

e) Biggest Secret: (something fun to throw in here-but nothing too fanfictiony, and nothing like IDW Arcee (once a dude))

f) Image: (I thought it would be fun to have a few people try to draw each character once its all done, then pick between like 3 or so pictures to decide which represents the character best! Could be a fun addition.)



So yeah, thought it might be fun to do! See what we end up with. only allowed to put in one contribution per post, and I'll update the first post with the new information when I can. The second batch of stud (a-e) isnt allowed to be answered will we get the first batch done (A-I) so we have some background.

So that's the game! Only other rule is there needs to be a leader to each group, which will be my own addition. So yeah-let the fun begin!

Maybe, once everything is all done, we could figure out some sort of story, or additional characters, etc. For now, lets say its the middle of the way, they've crashed on an Energon-rich planet ala Beast Wars, yet for some reason there is a lot of Earth tech there as well-though seemingly no humans. Perhaps a post-apocalyptic Earth? Yeah, lets go with that for now.

So yeah, hopefully this will be fun!   Let me know if there's anything that you think should be added! Speaking of adding, just copy and paste the most recent version and add yours! I'll update this post, to make it easy to find the most recent version.

And YES I was a little bored today-was sick, gimme a break lol.


When all is said and done, it should look like the 7th Con in this group, Shatterpoint:

 

Shatterpoint
Alt Mode: Helicopter
Archivest
Warrior
Class Size: Voyager
Special Ability: Can create vortexes with his rotorblades.
Special Skills: He knows alot of pre-war history.


Pre-War Life: Shatterpoint worked in the Kaon archives early in the war, he never got to see the Pre-War Cybertron, only in holograms had he seen its former glory.

War Occupation: Shatterpoint was forced into the warfront by the Decepticons. At first he didn't enjoy it, but over time he grew to enjoy combat. He often returns to the archives, the only place he truly feels happy.

Biggest Contribution: He helped scout the Sea of Rust for base construction.

Potential Post-War Life: He wishes to live on a rejuvenated Cybertron, possibly returning
to his old job or having some a position of power.

Biggest Secret: He has his doubts about being a Decepticon and may go rouge, possibly switch sides entirely.

Image:

 

I'd mostly meant we each take a line lol. so each character was made by a bunch of different people.

 

Really? My bad.  

 

lol its ok-Shatterpoint can be the 7th Con lol-always like the Autobots drastically outnumbered anyway-actually, that would give us the movie ratio, i believe.

 

I guess I'll start one. Soundpulse

 

Autobot or Decepticon, and is that the name of the leader of one of those groups? So I can add it to the first post in the right place

 

Wait, do i just post the entire thing or just put... I'm confused even though I read the instructions...  

 

Like this:

Before:

After:

Each time, someone adds a new component. So if you wanted Soundpulse to be an autobot, you'd do this under one of the Autobots:

 

I see.
Name razor
Alt mode
Occupation
Battle function
Class size
Special ability
Skills

Life pre-war
Post-war life
Recognized for
Biggest secret

 

OHHHHHHHH Ok

Name: Soundpulse
Alt-Mode:
Occupation:
Class Size:
Special Ability:
Special Skills:

Pre-War Life
Post-War Life
Recognized For:
Biggest Secret:

So, do I continue with Bacon's? If so... I'll see
Razor's Alt-Mode: Bacon Delivery Truck

 

I'd continue with mine, though unless there's other stuff in there going to a grocery store, they don't do door to door service, trust me, I've tried to order, and just got an angry clerk yelling at me

 

That's more like it-though i still dont know if they're Autobots or Decepticons, gotta put that there too so i can add them to the list properly

 

I said decepticon in the original post I thought. I'll say again, decepticon

 

Oh mines Decepticon.

 

Might as well get the Autobots started:

Richterscale

 

Richterscale's altmode: something like the Tfp energon drill

 

Occupation: cannon foddder

 

Function: artillery command/operations

 

Big guy, definate Leader class.
