so, anyone else getting bored with this bullshit?


It dawns on me I probably shouldn't have held a briefing or anything...but fuck it.

So yeah...your group is being sent as apart of the larger attack force, on Georgia. You'll include humans in the mix, not just Autobots, but it's a full campaign. It won't be a walk in the park, this is a strike right at the heart of Decepticon held territory.


Expect to see some heavy hitting Decepticons, plus Sentinal and Guardian robots in the coming battles.

Yeah, seriously. If this is boring you two (Havoc & B4), that's fine - we can each write out our characters going our separate ways, and Firetrack will continue on his own. Either way though, he's going to be practicing relentlessly.

I'm sorry, I've been once more slammed at work and all. I think it might be best to just proceed with the attack.

Also, for the rest of you. Are the misadventures of Firetrack, Hornet, and Slipstream really that fascinating that you forego posting to see the next exiting installment?

This game appears to be slowing down greatly, and that hurts me. On the inside.

Actually..I'm waiting to see what the bloody hell you three are doing, before I put up my GM post which will skip us to the lovely lovely death.

So hurry up fuckers.

This...is pretty much it. Mock dogfighting and lovely commentary. With some psychology of and between all three thrown in for fun.

Hey, you guys know what Crimson and Strike are doing.

Nitram's not posting because he can't sit up for long periods. If he's not better Sunday night, he's seeing the doctor the next morning, dammit.

I just spent ten minutes making a reply in the form of Starscream, only to discover my old image host is now defunct.

In any case - I was trying to start shit and get some activity going, since I didn't see anyone else posting.

Ok... why don't we just jump to all the Autobots hitting the ground and on their way to hit the lines? Do we really need to go back through the whole JetPack thing?

Condense "TNG style" synopsis of the missing posts....

all we need is the music.....

As of this, we'll assume everyone will have disembarked from Omega, and he's opened up to full throttle, you'll all be going on jetpacks, from a lower trejectory, from where Omega is, and he'll provide the distraction while the rest of you swoop in. Jets, don't leave your teammates behind, otherwise they WILL be sitting ducks for all intents and purposes to the far more manuverable Decepticon fliers.

Ok, the plan as I've been told is that Omega and the Protectobots are gonna go mess with the fixed platforms, sentinals, etc. Our job is to land while they are doing that, and then take out individual decepticons that are distracted so that the two big guys can focus on the big guns.

I need to make a GM post, but my net access today has been severly curtailed, and I don't have the time to make one right now.

I'll make one tomorrow if my normal net access is back online.

Some new Decepticon NPC's for ya'll to look over. Waspinator will be one of those at the little outpost your all going attack......no idea where I'll use Lugnut though. I had to rescue him from TF: Animated, he was just to good a character to let stay there...


Waspinator
Alligience: Decepticons
Sub-group: Predacons
Function: Warrior-Scout / Chew-toy of Fate
Alternate Forms: Mechanical Hornet / Futuristic Jet Fighter

Quote: "Wazzzpinator flying along, minding own business, and BAM!, get whole stasis pod up the kazoodie!"

Robot
Image

Hornet

Jet
Image


Tech Specs:
Strength: 5
Endurance: 7
Agility: 8
Intelligence: 4
Skill: 6
Firepower: 5

The Universe hates Waspinator.


No, really it does.

A lot.

No Decepticon really knows where Waspinator came from, only that he appeared on Earth one cycle, and went directly to Megatron. He was smaller then, about the size of a fleshling, and when he was next seen, he was bigger, and had a newer body. Two weeks later, Megatron declared his intent to conquer all of Earth, and his plans to do it. Waspinator was less than pleased when he was put in the frontline combat in Qatar. Thankfully, with his new body, he didn't get slagged - but he still didn't like it. Several more battles also saw a distinct lack of Waspinator bits raining from the sky, and he decided he was safer in the Decepticon ranks than he ever was with Dragon-bot and the others.

When asked about where he came from, Waspinator simply replies he's from Cybertron. When grilled further, with a resigned sigh, he tells the story of how he's originally from the future, a descendant of the Decepticons, who was involved in a series of time-lost battles known as the Beast Wars. This usually gets him laughed at a great deal, and made the butt of many jokes. Still, Waspinator soldiers on, going into battle when ordered. He was at the battle of Rome, and was the only Decepticon to make out back alive. Granted, he was only a head, a arm, and a wing by then....but he was still alive and functional. This broke his string of relative good luck, and proved to him just how much the Universe hates him even in this present time. He's displayed a remarkable resilence in every battle he's been in - mostly because he's been destroyed more times than Dirge and Optimus Prime combined - but for some reason, but his Lasercore just never go out.

At least here, he can often be heard saying, no one has started collecting his pieces......yet.


Abilities:
For all his bad luck in combat, Waspinator IS a skilled flier and combatant. With his new Jet mode (similar to his Pre-ancient Earth form), he is more adept at aerial combat and performing his primary missions, high speed scout/interceptor. In jet mode, he can reach a speed of Mach 1.6 at sea level, with a maximum speed of mach 2.2 at 70,000 feet. Given enough fuel, he can push his Cybertronian jet engines to breaking gravitational forces, and become space borne. He is outfitted with twin laser gatlings on his head, and a cluster of four "fire and forget" thermal missiles.

His mechanical hornet mode is used primarily for low level scoutings, with a top speed of 60mph. He has a flight ceiling of 10,000ft in this form, though his flight can be exceptionally stealthy. Like the Insecticons and Soundwave, Waspinator has the ability to mass-shift himself down to the size of a normal Earth wasp. In his wasp form, he is capable of utilizing a mechanical stinger on his tail to release a cyber venom which can cause temporary paralysis in a human or Transformer.

In robot mode, Waspinator is still capable of flight, with a max speed of 100mph. He is armed with a "Thunderbolt" class positron rifle and a "Cyber-Venom" stringer pistol.

For being so accident prone, Waspinator has a remarkable resilience...nothing that's done to him seems to be able to terminate his Spark.....

Weakness:
For some reason, it seems like Waspinator cannot win for anything. No matter what happens, it will ALWAYS happen to Waspinator, and always be the worst possible outcome precluding death. He's been blown up, dismembered, and sliced up more times than any other Cybertronian alive. Waspinator has just resigned himself to his fate as being the Universe's punching bag.....





Lugnut
Alligience: Decepticon
Function: Warrior
Alternate Form: Futuristic Jet Bomber

Quote: "I believe only two things. The Decepticons will rule the Universe, and Megatron will rule the Decepticons!"

Image

Tech Specs:
Strength: 8
Endurance: 7
Agility: 7
Intelligence: 5
Skill: 5
Firepower: 6

Lugnut has absolute faith in Megatron, and that makes him one of the most dangerous Decepticons. He is fanatic in his support of the Decepticon cause, and unquestioning in following the orders of his commander. His dedication is backed up by incredible strength, and fighting skills that led to him be feared and respected across Cybertron. Each punch from his powerful hands carries the force of a small bomb, so the only way to survive a fight with him is to avoid ever letting him hit you. Unfortunately, he's almost as fast as he is strong.

Lugnut was built on Cybertron, originally as a early experiment by Fraxyl, a future Decepticon scientist. Fraxyl's attempts to build a new breed of Gladiator bot first lead to the construction and powering up of Lugnut. In the gladiator pits, before the rise of Megatron, Lugnut became known as the Kaon Krusher, and reigned undefeated for stellar cycles. When Megatron revolted against the Autobot regime, Lugnut rose against the Decepticon leader, fighting alongside the Autobots. When Megatron reappeared after his long disappearence, his first objective after building his Robosmasher, was to turn Lugnut to his cause. After being reprogrammed by the machine, Lugnut became one of Megatron's most devoted followers. When Megatron was lost after the Ark and Nemesis crash landed on Earth, Lugnut left Cybertron in search of his Master. He was halfway across the galaxy when he heard of Megatron's reappearence on Earth, and his conquest of the fleshling planet. Lugnut change course for the planet, and went to met his master.

Abilities:
Lugnut, for being a large, bulky robot, is unnaturally agile. He uses this to his advantage in robot mode with his Pit Fighting style of combat and the stellar core powered impact of his fist. In robot mode he is able to lift fifteen tones of rubble without straining a servo. He can release a swarm of miniture missiles from launchers hidden in his shoulder-armor that can overload most forms of Point Defense with little problem.

In his bomber Mode, he has access to a large payload of "fire and forget" Hydra-bolt missiles, each capable of penetrating twenty foot of hardened concrete before detonating. He also has two "Bunker Buster" style heavy munitions which he can use to destroy fortified Autobot constructs.


Weakness:
Physically, Lugnut has no known weaknesses. If anything, his devote worship of Megatron can be used against him. One depleted of his missile munitions, Lugnut has no ranged weapons at his command.
