The Year is 2015 and the Autobots have been disbanded after they hunted down the last Decepticons. All the transformers left on the planet are neutral to each side and try to survive day to day. they stay hidden in plain sight, doing as they do best. These remaining bots shall form alliances and fight with each other over resources. The humans know of their existence and are afraid of them. some countries offer high rewards for their capture.

Now the question remains, Who will survive?

Notes:

This is always open, post a sheet and intro post.

Anything larger than a tractor trailer [with trailer] ask me about, i don't want this to be giants roaming the earth.

I will allow tri-formers [change into 3 things robot and two vehicles.] so long as they're not too far off in size. ask about them.

I'll alow dual bots, turn into a single vehicle. ask about them.

transformers can see each other.

There are teams out there hunting for them.

Make alliances, break them fight. i don't care.

The Rp starts in Gettysburg Pa USA and its military week. It's June 14th and a cool day for the summer, averaging about 80 because it's overcast. the rolling hills can bee seen all around.

There is a supply of energon in one of the vehicles here, large enough yo draw transformers from all around.

Name:

Gender:
Age:

Appearance:

Personality:

Class:
SUITED = Wear some kinda of suit granting additional or enhanced powers, while remaining small + hard to hit (nano-sec; speedsuit, ;electricity powers suit)

Exoframe = Think Head Masters with out the partner, or Daniel Witwicky from TF Movie, power armor

Master = Head Masters Jnr (or Headmaster from TFA) have Civilian vehicles that can transform and be driven in robot mode (vehicle does not have AI beyond basic routines, like "come to me" "attack pattern alpha" etc)

Bot-Buster = Carry specialized weapons/tools, often heavy artillery that are effective or tailored to work against bots, unlike the SUITED or EXO, weaponry is more offensive than defensive. but would be only likely to lay traps etc.)

Cyborg = this one self explainitory, and dotted all over place in the lore, the most popular i can think of is Sari Sumdac, though she not a prime archtype but probably example of the potential limits.

Class specifics: [weaponry, armor, etc. etc.]

Other notes:


Lore path: Movies. I apologize but i haven't seen the anime in a while and i enjoyed it when i did. The movies are the most recent and strongest memories in my mind.

Guidelines:
We'll all be running around Pennsylvania for a while.
This will be free roam for a while until everyone is set up. Then i'll sick the hounds.

No killing other player characters. if you both agree to fight to the death, then its ok. Let me know in advance though.

No world ending plot devices, i make those.

Otherwise this is like the Avatar adventure thread, no rules but the ones stated above.

I think what scarring the joiners off, is that it rather vague, transformers has over 30 distinct lore paths, that even within in there selves, have contridictions.
(i estimate the number as i dont follow close enough to know all the japanese or obscure)


A little bit more definition of the setting would help.

Also i will have to dig around for pics of alt mode. (else id have joined right off the bat)

1 recommendation.... for newbies. you have "new formed" class, i.e. fresh off the assembly line, or from the protoform.
Although rare, it is not unprecidented for a transformer to be "born" without a specific altmode (though obviously would be limited by size) as certain transformers lores, indicate that you can effectively strip a transformer of much the componenents they use to transform, without disabling them.... e.g. exostruct plating, modifications, Transformation Cog.

sorry not critising, was nice to see someone starting a TF rp... just throwing in a few ideas, as makes me :-( that not a long cue of people already joined

I have tried to start a few Rp's but each has failed horribly. Its nice to see that someone actually has an interest. I purposely left it vague as to let people do what they wish and not be bound by an anime they may or may not have seen. If we can get another person to join, I'll start it and hopefully it'll kick off.

yeah i figured the vagueness was to intice freedom.
but ive notice a trend that people like a certain amount of rules as a kinda of guiding hand (rather than a train track)

, im not saying that should say "we following the continuity of a specific show" just throw in a few extra ground rules... trying best to make it descriptive rather than referencial... that way a Non-TF fan boy/girl (unlikly) might read out of curiosity and think, hay that sounds mildly intriguing and join.

when i say rule, i actually mean guideline... so can be let slip, bent or broken when ever approriate.

sorry that you had no luck with gettin RPs going, i must say i work an odd shedual, so i never had chance to start an rp, as i just dnt have free time do all the regular monitoring.even if scraped up the time to set something going.

I might make a character sheet but I first need to get posting in one of my rp's.
edit: also it was the vagueness of the players having nothing to start with for there first post that caused previous rp to die.

I'm never good at starting them. the ideas are there, i just can't execute them.
anyway, edited the op to include a thing to fight for and a reason for them to be there.

Also im working on something, you wanted a story that allows for a less direct faction vs faction scenario, with earth being a backdrop for a more, random robot scenario.
I may have a way (drafting at mo) to get a simular scenario, grounded in exsisting TF lore, that not great, maintains same setting but holds a little more foreshadowing to possible big event happening to tease player.

wow converting your original concept hard. it morphed into DISTRICT 9 but getting rid of the slums & giving 'em back there super robots.

also the whole disbanding angle kinda hard to handle as even if the autobot & decepticon armys where disbanded... youd still have autobots and decepticons.

as many are more than just soldiers, they are paladins. cybertron has several established religions...heck i don't even know of all of them.

(working title only, work in process)


TRANSFORMERS: DISTANT RENAICANCE

PROLOGUE

It is the Year 3005
The second Golden Age of Cybertron has already started to dwindle.
As soon as the restoration of the planet had begun, it?s new found energy resources added much verve to the various parties intent on reclaiming it.
Although splintered and divided many of the remnants of the once mighty Deception armada still intend to seize the newly revitalised world by military or subversive means.
Quitessons the former cruel overlords Cybertron have redoubled there efforts to retake the planet, it?s newly revitalised state drawing them in far greater numbers that ever before.
Pressured from all sides the weary Autobots command is cracking under the gloom of a building 3rd great war, worsened by cases of desertion, spys and the need to drain so much power for the war effort.

With all eyes on Cybertron and the growing war, the small scattered numbers Cybertronians dwelling on distant worlds or roaming the universe have been all but disregarded.

Holding one of the densest gatherings of these out-world Transformers is the planet Earth a relative haven far from the drums of war.
The Native human societies and Technology has evolved greatly over the centuries due to constant exposure to alien races like the Transformers, thus the once prevalent and escalating power battles of the resident Immigrants have diminished into more small scale feud much like any small community.
With little enforcement beyond Human policing and group leaders plus limited contact beyond the solar system, many Transformers have diversified in there life styles, letting aside old ways of thinking or past loyalties splintering the once militarised Autobot/Decepticon Society template adopting a more free acting society much as it was during the Original peaceful 1st Golden Age back on Cybertron millions of years ago.

Though the mixed race of ?Robots? is for the most part as peaceful as any humans:- the fear of some kind of insurrection still rings in the minds of many people. And Racial Tension runs thick with supporters and antagonists on all side.

?.

(Ill continue on this later, as I?ve few things to add after this, but right now I must go to bed , let me know what you think of this EVERYONE
To my CO-GM I tried to stay true to your scenario but allowing for big events or familiar characters to enter the story with out too much deus-ex. Also sorry I changed the time frame as seemed unlikely in any of the Transformers universes that significant military of societal change would occur in 4 years (can discuss in the PM if want).
