Transformers: THE RPG (EOI)

TRANSFORMERS: THE OTCA RPG

PREFACE

War rages on Cybertron. Optimus Prime is fighting a losing battle against the might of Megatron’s Decepticons. The Autobots are low on energon and manpower. With a heavy heart Optimus Prime must now resort to sending mere rookies out on dangerous missions. He asks for a handful of volunteers for a special rescue mission. Who will step up to the plate?


INTRODUCTION
This game will follow a small group of characters as they quest their way through Cybertron. The game will have the following features:

• Create your own transformers character!
• Minimal input required from players.
• Players will see their own characters grow from rookies to Autobot veterans.
• Followers will get to see an action packed adventure story unfold before their eyes.
• Cameo appearances from your favourite G1 characters.
• Plenty of loot
• If there is enough interested players, I may create a Decepticon campaign and have the two storylines collide!



If this interests you, please do read the manual and post your completed character creation sheet. (Example below)

I'll probably be looking at a squad of 3-6, but we'll see how it goes. Best written characters will be selected first.

Description

When not mobile, Heavytread is often mistaken for for a Weapons bunker or a fallout shelter in his alternate mode. Larger than most Autobots, Save for the Combiner Teams and Omega Supreme. almost as wide as he is tall Heavytread is incredibly well armoured, almost looking like the Cybertronian equivalent of an American Gridiron player, right down to the large shoulder pads and helmet. Heavytread's alt mode is a an Armoured troop carrier with a Cybertonian camouflage scheme.

Weapons

Heavytread is armed with a Standard issue AB Cannon.

Equipment

Heavytread is equipped with 3 standard issue grenades.

Unique Traits

Heavytread has been reformatted, and is now made of a denser alloy than most Cybertronians. his hydraulic systems have been enchanced to compensate for this density and is much stronger than your average Autobot.
the downside of these upgrades is Heavytread is much slower than your average Autobot as well.

Personality
In the war for Cybertron there are your Great Heroes, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Grimlock, There are your memorable faces, BumbleBee, Jazz, Srpinger, Blaster and there are those whose Services keep the Autbot war machine running, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Perceptor, there is even Wheelie. At the bottom of the barrel you have the ordinary Autobot rookie, one of many who are utltimately cannon fodder and end up as so much scrap.
Heavytread would have been one of those bots if not for the Decepticon air raid on The Autbot Academy, One of the worst Decepticon atrocities of the Great War. Many of the Autobots Best and Brightest. their future leaders and fighters lost their lives that day. Mortally injured in the assault, his spark barely clinging to life, the Bot that would become Heavytread was selected to be the subject of radical procedure to create a nigh indestructible warrior, one designed to carry troops to the front line and transform into the Best Backup a Squad could ever have. Of course a Bot with Heavytread's past coud become an unspeakable Mary-Sue Dark and Troubled, But this not the case. Boisterous, Friendly and with an unshakeable optimism Heavytread believes wholeheartedly in the Autobot cause and is Staunch defender of any who wears the Autobrand.
The only hint of Heavytread's past is his intense dislike of the members of the Decepticon Air Force. Heavytread is an incredibly good natured bot, He firmly beleives that many Decepticon soldiers can be rehabiliated. Especially a certain Blue Seeker who has displayed a code of Honour that speaks beyond his Decepticon nature and the one exception to Heavytread's grudge.

and that is Heavytread. Come on RPGers! Join in!

Excellent Tallestblue!

Your stat points need to add up to 40 max though.

Oop. Mustn't have seen that. Character has been amended. Verrrry slow now.
Mostly a stand and shoot character.

Chip off some courage to add to your speed :p

Come on! Once you've made your character sheet the game will only take a minute of your time a few times a week :D

I've designed this game so that your involvement can be as little or as much as you please with no consequence.
