So here's the idea.
The ship carrying the Autobots and Decepticons crashes in the Great valley, the Autobots and decepticons are reactivated and take on dinosaur forms. the Autobots learn about the dinosaur herds living in the valley and swear to defend them and the valley from the decepticons.
The Decepticons at first have no interest in the great valley, until they discover potential energy there or something. they make their base in the Mysterious beyond by enslaving the inhabitants( Including Red claw, thud and Screech) . and strip it for resources.
The great valley and Mysterious beyond are the battlefields, the fate of the universe is the prize, and the only thing that standing in the way of the evil Decepticons are the heroic Autobots.
so anyone impressed?

-
Any particular generation of transformers or will it be the version in the movies. I've not seen those myself.
One idea why the bad guys may want the Great Valley is it may be a natural source of energon, like I think beast wars earth was. Another idea, from g1 I think, is certain places like thundering falls could be an easy way to get energy and convert it into energon.
One way the bad guys could control the dinos could be a collar of control that was in a single episode of Dinosaucers, or brain boxes I think the baddies used in Dino Riders. I've not seen Dino riders but they seem to be helmets the bad guys put in a dino's head that let them control them. I do have some screen shots of a collar of control, but not of a brain box if you are interested.
doubt the pictures will show up here.
Styrachio holding an open collar of control:

Found a commercial for some Dino Rider toys. May give you ideas for your rp, and I think they do show the brain boxes the ensalved dinos of the bad guys are wearing. It is a short cartoon, about 30 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flXE1ZbEwLc&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flXE1ZbEwLc&feature=related)
-
your Ideas merit consideration Kor, but I think it will come later when the decepticons got a out post up and running. Also by G1 I mean the 80's cartoon.
-
If it's Generation 1 Transformers, then I will take interest in it....but only cause of one Decepticon I wish to play as....whom I do not wish to alter his form at all, because his form as it is, is just awesome....then again, the character himself is just awesome. None other than Soundwave.
I mean, the Dinobots could be present in this one, you know, Grimlock and co, since their alternative forms are actually dinosaurs....
-
G1, that is good. The only transformers I have any knowledge of are mainly g1, including the japanese g1, to a lesser extent beast wars, including the japanese series beast wars 2nd.
If you did do Soudwave would you want his alt mode to be different, or his cybertron one? It's shown briefly in the first episode of the pilot.
-
OK Mr. Drake you get soundwave.
And I might just have the decepticons keep their cybertroninan alt modes, I'm just trying to get people to join at this point, also I'd love to see how the Great Valley dinosaurs would react.
But if I were to give soundwave a dino alt, it would be like hidden runner. and ravage might be a fast bitter, or another hidden runner type.
-
I know Soundwave, in the G1 version, with his alternative mode being the casette player, which I would like to keep him as.
By the way, if I decide to go with Soundwave, I would probabally also have to use Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy and Lazerbeak, you know, his casette tapes.
-
The only problem with the cassette player as his alt mode is explaining how he got it since the ark altered his alt mode after it sent out 1 or more scouts to scan some machines of earth as part of the repairs it was making. That is how the transformers got their alt modes. Soundwave's cybertronian altmode was some sort of communications tower I guess it would be. Seen briefly in the first episode of the pilot.
-
Hmm, yeah, that's true actually.....although, as I've played the game Transformers: War for Cypertron, Soundwave has keep his form in there whilst he was on Cybertron. Lazerbear, Rumble and Frenzy, that were in his boss battle, kept their original forms as well.
Man, it is rather confusing now....as on Cybertron, he seems to have been able to keep his alt form....although all playable characters had an alt form of either a tank, car, truck or jet and Soundwave got to have a truck as his alt form there.
So really, in that manner of speaking, it is a rathger tough one to figure out....but it does seem like both Autobots and Decepticons, since they were from Cybertron, have advanced technology as it is.....so really, I would imagine that Soundwave, at this point, would still be able to obtain his casette form somehow XD
-
One idea I had is if the gm allows you could say either he has as his cybertronian altmode is instead of a communications tower as shown in the first episode of the pilot it could be a cybertronian boom box with a storage medium for music and or data what looks like an cassette to us. After all since we use cd's, dvd's and flash cards to store data as well as formerly using there is nothing saying aliens would not use something totally different shaped. Theirs could look like an earth cassette, or the same shape and general appearance as what looks like a cassette to us but may use flash or form or 3d technology to store data. After all Perceptor's altmode is a microscope. And maybe he has just 1 size his alt mode can be, or maybe he can choose between 2 sizes for it since Perceptor can have his altmode of a microscope be either sized for a transformer to use as a microscope or small enough for a human to use him as a microscope.
-
I do like that idea there Kor, that would work out rather well actually, since his Cybertonion mode seems to change at times, so what's to say that it can't be a casette player this time, or a boom box, as you could put it XD
-
By the way I call dibs on Optimus prime.
Also I will allow Fan made transformers so long as they are of G1.
-
Awesome, I'm still using Soundwave....as well as Lazerbeak, Rumble and Ravage. I wont use Frenzy myself, just the other three of his minions....since one usually sees Soundwave with Lazerbeak, Ravage and Rumble mainly.
Someone would probabally have to be Megatron too, but of course, leave him open for anyone who wishes to take on his role ^^
You know, give others a chance sort of thing...but Soundwave is mine....favourite Transformer of mine....he ranks as #1 on my list of favourite Transformers ;)
By the way, perhaps edit your first post, Rocky, to say who has been taken by who? You know, as a reference sort of thing?
-
Is this all g1 transformers including post movie that are available?
-
Is this all g1 transformers including post movie that are available?
yup except the following
Galvatron
Scourge
Cycloness
Rodimus Prime- does not affect hot rod
Wreck-gar
All Junkions
unicron
sharkticons
wheelie- might change
Tripticon- for now
Metroplex- for now
Scorpinok
Fortress Maximus
the techno bots- for now
the protectobots- for now
the arielbots- for now
more might be added or taken off
-
I guess that means some can play the female autobots seen in the single season 2 episode if they want. Though Elita one's power may need to be removed.

yep.
-
Just curious....will the Constructicons be allowed in this one too? You know, the five of them, I believe it was, that join together to form Devastator?
-
Lots to choose from. Certain autobots you want filled first? Is there the limit to the number of chars someone can play, and from certain category?
-
Yeah, cause if Megatron is needed, and no one else does take him, then I might very well take him. But that's only if, after given some time, no one else wishes to take on his role.
-

No limits, but I would prefer one from at least three category, like one Autobot, one Decepticon, and one dinosaur. Also I think I'll drop the dinosaur alt mode for the characters besides the Dinobots, and ravage. Instead they will stick with cybertronian alt modes.
-
We've seen a few of the alt modes. In the first episode we saw Soundwave and Wheeljack's. And the pyramid jets most decipticons seem to have. The female autobots in that 1 episode they were in all had cybertronian alt modes since the ark did not repair them. Shockwave's alt mode is a giant gun that can fly. Unlike megatron which has to be shot by someone I think. The others should be easy to extrapolate. The autobots mainly cybertronian hover cars or some sort that don't use wheels like the episode 4 landspeeder of Luke's.
I guess you'd let folks alter the known vehicle alt modes like Soundwave being a cybertronian music player, boom box or whatever the player of Soundwave wants to call it, and wheeljack being a car type instead of the boxy vehicle he was originally.
I assume the autobots will not be able to fly in robot form, like they could in the pilot episodes? Though they did seem to forget they could fly at times in robot form in the pilot.
Found a picture of Wheeljack's original altmode on a wiki elsewhere: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cy...onwheeljack.jpg (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cybertronwheeljack.jpg)
& soundwave: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cy...onsoundwave.jpg (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg)
& 2 decepicon pyramid jets: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tetrajet_seekers.jpg (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tetrajet_seekers.jpg)
-
I found the alt mode pic
Shockwave's Alt mode (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/4/40/SearchforAlphaTrion_Shockwave_gun_mode.jpg)
Also I will soundwave to turn into his famous alt mode, because lets face it, a radio tower (Or whatever it is) would stand out like a sore thumb in the great valley.
Also I'm on the fence regarding megatron's alt mode since I agree with Micheal bay that having Megatron turn into a gun for someone else to fire would be like having Darth Vader turn into his own light saber and have someone else wield it.
-
I'll play Starscream and Petrie, by the way, great job for basing this on G1 instead of those mediocre Michael Bay films :)
-
You could have Megatron turn into a gun like Shockwave, or a cannon, type thing, like I think he does once he's turned into Galvatron. Or something else.
-
Ravage has no alt dino mode....he is either a casette tape or a dog....nothing else.
Oh, and Belmount, I would rather say it's a great job basing it upon GI instead of that terrible....and I mean terrible, Transformers Animated series....worst series around, seen it....and it's very bad, gives Transformers a bad name.

Ravage is a panther, and ok I'll keep him as he is. and by the way I loved TFA, especially the Megatron-Starscream thing.
-
I guess the dinobots have to be as dumb as they are in the cartoon show, even though perceptor wasn't present for their creation? Just a theory of mine why they ended up being so dumb. Wheeljack is more of a mechanical engineer and not to good at electronic stuff and not in perceptor's league. Not so say he's dumb, but its' sort of like Peter Parker. He's smart but not in Reed's class.
Wonder if someone may run a pure g1 transformer's rp at some point.
-
Well, keeping Ravage's form could bo good as he could blend in to the other dinosaurs and what have you.
And if someone were to do a pure GI Transformers RP....I would still be taking Soundwave in that one :lol:
-
Not sure who to pick.
-
I think we might be getting off topic folks, so could we please try to stay on topic.
Anyway I think I'll take megatron skywarp and thundercracker. we should start as soon as we got the following rolls filled
Autobots
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Wheeljack
Ratchet
hound
mirage
jazz
Decepticons
reflector( the three camera robots that speak in unionism)
Dinosaurs
Ducky
spike
ruby
Sharpteeth
Redclaw
Thud
Screech
also it will start when the ark crashes into the side of a dormant volcano that is in the great valley and the decepticons come online first and getting their barrings.
-
I think with the Autobots, mainly Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet and Jazz would be the more essential ones in my opinion.
But I could take Littlefoot if no one else wishes to take him.
-
I guess we're limited to 1 autobot & 1 great valley dino?
-
Ok Mr. drake, do you think you could play the role of his grand parents too. and kor, read my text, NO Character limits.
-
There are several autobots I may want to play.
As for great valley Fc's I think I'd like to try Chomper, unless someone else really wants to. It's been a long time since I rped as him. I usually do Ducky or Petrie, or both.
-
Ok Mr. drake, do you think you could play the role of his grand parents too. and kor, read my text, NO Character limits.
Yeah, I could very well do that if need be....does make sense as well, so yeah, sure, I can do that too, playing both of his grandparents too.
But I wont be playing an Autobot....I mean, don't want to really play too many characters so much.
Maybe at a later date if an Autobot is needed to be played is, I'll take one, but for now, I'll leave them be.
-
here's another cybertron alt. mode, this time for Jazz (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/9/95/Cybertronjazz.jpg)
-
Thanks. I had forgotten which others had their cybertronian alt modes shown.
Any certain autobots on your recent list you want filled, or all of those equally?
Thinking I may like one of the dinobots also. Though not sure yet.
-
Before I post I want to say this, My Grandfather recently died and I've been taking it pretty hard, since well he practicly rasied me, and he was my buddy too. He died thursday august 5, today was his wake and tomarrow is his Funneral.
Anyway, yes I agree Kor, I agree so who wants which autobot. Also Teletran 1 will be NPC. also I want to let everyone know that I would also perfer if you play the familes of the main LBT characters. so lets continue, I hope to get this thread started soon.
-
Any certain autobots and LBT folks you want filled first?
-
I got your PM, and I'm interested in playing Cera :yes.
-
As you know, other than Soundwave and his Decpitcons, I'll be more than happy to play Littlefoot and his Grandparents ^^
-

Ok Kor, take your Pick of autobots
here's the short-list
Bumblebee
Jazz
Hound
Ironhide
Ratchet
Wheeljack
Mirage
take your pick, also do you think you could do Ducky and Spike
-
Sure, I can do Ducky and Spike.
Not sure if I want to do Jazz or Ironhide, or Wheeljack. Though doing Wheeljack will give the Autobots someone who can repair the injured.
-

That's Ratchet's job. Wheeljack is more of a scientist than a medic.
-
A mechanic engineer type maybe. Perceptor is more of the pure scientist type from what I've seen. Though he doesn't appear till part 2 of Island of the Dinobots, while Chip vanishes for the most part. No real explanation of where the new autobots come from, but one can make up one's own story of what happened offscreen.

the engineer type, then wheel jack is the bot for you also I'll have those autobots show up as military transfers that Prime ordered.
-
He could be interesting. And he can fly since he has jets in his arms as shown in other episodes. Unlike the pilot where every autobot can sometimes fly. Like in superfriends the flash can sometimes fly, or at least take off into the air.
As I mentioned before I can also do Ducky & Spike.
And if the tv series is cannon then Guido does live in the Great Valley, as seen in The Hermit of Black Rock. Just mentioning it since based on your post you seemed not sure if he lives there or not.
-
ok, so the only gang of seven left to claim is ruby.
also how can wheel jack fly?
-
He has jets in his arms. He doesn't use that to often. The exhaust, I assume is in his shoulders, based on how he would hold his arms straight out when he did fly. Though if you prefer to say his arms do not have jet engines I'll be ok with that since in the original cartoon he didn't use them very often as I recall.
I read various ranges like 800 miles or somesuch, not that we need such detail for the rp. though we could vague it and say its either short range, medium range, ect and with the size of the jet engines to his body the speed may not be to great, or other disadvantages which may explain why he doesn't use it to often in the cartoon, not to mention he'd likely not be as maneuverable as a jet plane and would be vastly outnumbered in the air with every decepticon able to fly, or most of the decepticons anyway.
-
Maybe the Constructicons could appear and (although its a bit overkill) Unicron.
-

I got no problem with the Constructicons, as long as we use the back story from the secret of Omega supreme. Also NO Unicron, period!
ok, heres the characters still needed
autobots
Ironhide
Ratchet
Jazz
Lbt gang of seven
Ruby
-
Er, what about Megatron? Cause if Optimus has been taken, by all accounts, Megatron should be needed as well....cause there is no way in hell I would leave Starscream in charge of the Decepticons :p
Edit: Nevermind....just saw that you took on the role of Megatron :lol:
-
I can do Wheeljack. & Ducky & Spike also, since you did ask before if I could do them.
As for Starscream being in charge, it happens at least briefly once in season 1 early on and it does not end well. It is the same one that introduced Chip Chase I think his name is. Who later goes poof during season 2 with his role taken over by Perceptor for the most part.
& if anyone does Blaster, I think he should have his tapes, though they didn't appear till the movie I always thought it was pretty dumb that they had Blaster, but no tapes, in the episodes of season 2 that he's in.
-
As for Starscream being in charge, it happens at least briefly once in season 1 early on and it does not end well.
Starscream's also in charge breifly in the 1986 flim where he's being hailed as Decepticon leader before Galvatron comes in and blasts him to cosmic dust.
-
I'm also sky warp and thunder cracker
and I think I'll take hound and bumble bee too
-
LIVE I SAY!
Please someone post in here! we just need ruby then we can start!
-
You sure all the other main characters have someone who will rp as them?
-
You sure all the other main characters have someone who will rp as them?
yes, for the dinosaurs we just need ruby and I'll be Ironhide,
Ratchet, and Jazz.
Live I say!
