Then again, the cartoon *was* for kids... so they couldn't shoot each other.

It only jumps out at you in the later re-inventions. Particularly Energon, where they never miss the cannon-fodder Terrorcons.. But can't hit the hulking slow bruiser Decepticons more than twice.

Character shields rock.

I would also like to note that Optimus Prime got some good shooting in the movie as well.

Apparently, having your death scripted means you will ridiculously own any and all comers. In the same way, Dinobot took out the entire enemy cast before dying.

Including fighting off Megatron. With a stick and rock.

I just saw that one recently - Code Of Hero, was it? Awesome stuff. I didn't watch too much of Beast Wars, but I did model Blindside a little off of Dinobot, from what I remembered.

There's nothing like firing a rifle while flipping through the air and actually hitting your targets to prove that you are one badass robot. Or Jesus. Or Robot Jesus.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

Crimson got 100%? Really, Tev?

Give that ladybot a good high-powered rifle instead of her dinky-ass pistol if she's going to be shooting like that.

Oh, good. Megatron's awake from his little nap.

I'm guessing this means that the fun's about to start.

The post concerning Megatron and Chimera are taking place at the same time as the training, so apparently Deathstrike skipped some more time,

Training doesn't require Deathstrike's constant presence.

If I caused some weirdness time-wise, I apologize - I assumed that people going through marksmanship training one at a time would take the rest of the night.

As I've written him up, Blindside would be doing his thing every sunrise and sunset when he can. So, if I've skipped too far ahead, then let me know, and I'll revise.

FYI: Nit and I will be out of town until Tomorrow afternoon. We have to transfer ownership and insurance on the Neon over, which means a trip to visit my Mommy.

Whew.

For once, I didn't have to edit eighteen times for that post, though I probably frayed frigidmagi's patience and sanity a bit. Thanks again to you.

EDIT: ...except for grammar mistakes.

360 is milspeak for circle. 100 meters means that's how far you should be away from the center.

Sending other Decepticons pictures from when Megatron used to do bot-on-bot porn should do it.
