So was Ramjet.

Actually, a lot of the original ones had metal components.

I did what I could, I really tried. :/

Reading that as an adult... It's like Lybia and North Korea had a baby (_{that North Korea apparantly won't own up to}).

Not much for subtly were they.

Transformers and subtlety aren't exactly familiar with one another.  :3c

Just be glad Energon cubes don't explode on their own.

Not until I get to them.  :3c

Ah the 80s. When we didn't care if you were offended. We're heading back that way with my daughter's generation, but I fear it'll be much more nasty and in your face.

... And with online anonymity enhancing the art of the troll.

Giant robots are really only capable of sledgehammer subtlety.

It feels like a fairly typical parody... of about twenty years earlier.

Oops.  It's my turn to post.

Who's ready for the earth shattering Kaboom?!

In reply to Kaboom (msg # 77):

I think I just found my new best friend.  We can be enemy pen-pals!

Heck yes! Best frenemies for life! <3

I messed up on two characters' groups. If you can't see your corresponding HQ thread, please let me know.

I can see it :D

Hello Kaboom!

Ah, when you finally finish putting together the combiner, and the kid is done playing Transformers with you. :\

There we go, picture up! Now just gotta work out the wrinkles of my character sheet and I should be good to smash it up!

Adorbs. :)

I don't have any art of Elegance in robot mode, Jaguar cars have never been Transformer-ised. I'm still trying to figure what goes where, but don't want to contradict myself. Car-type Chromia might be a close match.

Yeah, it's tough to find good references if making your own/having it made for you isn't an option, where you just have to go dig up something that's "close enough", especially given the rather iconic headlight shape for your vehicle.  I ran a quick search and came up with some that might work?

Arcee Redesign, as you mentioned there was a long coat involved.

I'm brand new to this system.
A bit of advice from people?

Kaboom is a descendant of Perceptors, if you couldn't tell by her picture. I took Triple Changer, Multifunction (Gunner), and Fusion Cannon technologies to make her scope double function as a cannon and make her half decent with it. Does anyone have any other suggestion on how to make use of it?

I'm also incredibly new to the system, so I couldn't suggest crunch. But flavour-wise, you don't have to have a traditional optical microscope design like Perceptor. If you were an electron microscope, actively firing a beam of electrons at a sample and measuring the backscattered results, it would be very easy to reflavour the scope as an electron cannon of some sort. It might also be styled as a sniper rifle with electron-beam laser sight. It might mean a bigger alt-mode though, if it was a human-made electron microscope, being a large scope, box of machinery, desk, PC, and chair. :)


Thanks for the images! There's some nice designs there, though I'm not a fan of the impractical-looking spikes and frills a lot of feminine Transformers have now, when the E-type has such a long, flat, rounded design. I like the medieval robot archer at the end though; maybe I'll search wider for robots in general.

My first impression of the Perceptorette was actually a Gitter Girl (a varient of the Rifts Glitter Boy). Which naturally brought me to the Boom Gun. Building on an Electron microscope, perhaps the magnets that focus the electrons also fire shells?

Pewpewpew! And im totally calling my scope the Boom Gun.

Phew! Last night I kept getting a 404 error when I tried to access the game. I have to go workout, but, so long as I'm not called in early, I'll try to move these posts along.

Yeah that was annoying.  Luckily it only lasted about 45 minutes here.
