Worry not my fellows! For though the enemy hath reinforcements, I hath finished our own gestaults!
Name: Breachload
Allegiance: Autobots
Functions: Heavy Weapons Gestault
Quote: "Prepare yourself for the pit."
Height: 65 feet
Attributes:
Strength: 4
Endurance: 8
Agility: 4
Intelligence: 5
Firepower: 9
Skill: 6
Merits:
Enhanced Power Outputs (+3)- Breachload is equipped with cannons that are capable of a much greater output of energy than he normally should be. Firepower one size class higher.
Sharpshooter (+2)- Breachload's advanced targetting programs mean that when he picks his target he rarely misses.
Flaws:
Fuel Hog (-2)- Breachload takes a LOT of energon to keep running. Enough that his ability to serve on the field of battle is limited.
Single-minded (-2)- Breachload has a tendency to focus on only one thing at a time to the exclusion of other viable targets.
Split-personality (-1)- Though Overload's mind is subsumed during this mode, bits of his personality echo in Breachload, causing the Gestault to occasionally close to hand to hand.
Name: Overshock
Allegiance: Autobots
Function: Close combat Gestault
Quote: "Why of course I'm just another stupid Gestault."
Height: 85 feet
Attributes
Strength: 9
Endurance: 5
Agility: 6
Intelligence: 5
Firepower: 4
Skill: 6
Merits:
Pit-Fighting (+3)- Overshock's specific variant emphasizes the amount of punishment his 'body' can take without truly harming him, as well as the subtle tactic of ripping his opponent's arm off and beating them with it.
Clear Mind (+2)- With only two minds in his massive frame, Overshock is considerably smarter than the normal gestault. Intelligence is one size class lower.
Flaws
Overconfident (-1)- Though not as durable as other bots his size, Overshock is still more durable than most things he will meet on the battlefield, which allows for his usual Overconfidence to shine.
Split-personality (-1)- Though Shellshock's mind is subsumed during this mode, bits of his personality echo in Overshock, causing the Gestault to occasionally stay back and use only ranged weapons.
Berserker Rage (-2)- Overload, for all the battle experience he has. Was still built as an old civilian model. Fighting and killing is hard enough normally as such. However, with slightly diminished intelligence, the mind of a Warbot in the back of his head, and the amount of combat Overshock usually sees, the gestault has been known to go into a berserk mode. He will attack anything and anyone with no concern over his own safety until the field of battle is covered only with strewn bodies.

The two Gestalt forms look good, Charon.
Also:
Hornet's infecting Cybertronians in a much-concentrated fashion now, I see.Dark Silver wrote:Waspinator leaped to his feet, fixed his multi-faceted eye upon the form of Hornet, and nearly squeeled.
"YAY! Jet-bot save Wazzzzzpinator's life!"
With that, the not much larger than Hornet Waspinator grabbed up Hornet and hugged him tightly, almost seeming to dance with the little Autobot.
"Wazzzzzpinator thank Jet-bot!"

Nope, Waspinator was like that long before he met Hornet.....
Honestly, Waspinator just wants not to be blown to bits anymore.

That is truly creepy.Dark Silver wrote:Nope, Waspinator was like that long before he met Hornet.....
Well, I can't really blame him.Dark Silver wrote:Honestly, Waspinator just wants not to be blown to bits anymore.
1. Have he and Hornet make friends
2. Waspinator becomes an Autobot
3. Waspinator then, naturally, becomes a brilliant Autobot scientist with a curiously British accent, who morbidly resorts to talking like his old self so Decepticons can understand him.
4. Profit!

Also waiting for a GM post, for different reasons. I've carefully avoided auto-hits (probably for the best anyway - Firetrack's aim is improving, but still not always reliable), but I've two missile strikes to resolve, and a third waiting for Charon to have Shellshock soften up with an artillery strike.LadyTevar wrote:I'm waiting for DS to post before Crimson splatters the countryside with Wassspinator parts.

rheonix: I'm looking at your post....and I can't even fucking visualize what manuvers your pulling off in that post....
Actually..I get a glimpse of them..and they violate damn near every law of physics there is. Your anti-gravs don't allow you to pull "drift" like a car in your jet mode while in atmosphre, infact, I'm pretty sure I've NEVER seen anything like that before in atmosphere. Just the friction and turbulance would stop that shit from happening....you couldn't keep steady even with your anti-gravs and manuvering thrusters on full.
And to be rather frank...for someone "unused" to fighting in a jet mode, your pulling shit I don't even see Seekers pulling off.
So...no....
No this will not do at all.....
Remember, Newtonian Physics still applies to Cybertronian jetmodes....

This post has been edited, as per the discussion between Dark Silver and I.
And Charon - is a quick precision barrage from Shellshock not available by request?

Um, Rhoenix? Hornet's fight with the MiGs happened at very close to ground level, not in the upper atmosphere. Hornet is an actual airplane, not a reconditioned space fighter, and he cannot exceed a certain ceiling of altitude. Neither (to my understanding) can the MiGs. Even if they could though, they were all dragged down to treetop level while engaging Hornet.
Gaze upon my works, ye mighty, and despair...

LadyTev pointed out to me last night that I'm being too wordy and breathless in my game posts. Thank you.

Minor note. I moved to a new apartment yesterday, and consequently, I will not be able to access the internet from home for as long as two weeks. I can still use it at work, so I'll still be here, but my schedule will be tied in knots. I'll do what I can.

And if Ultimately he detracts nothing, what problem do you have with it?
One must play to all the characters strengths.....and to be honest, finding "new friends" is Hornet's one strength....

Ok, I can't argue that one, DS. Hornet makes friends.
But if Waspinator keeps hitting on Crimson, Stryke's gonna KO him

....Waspinator hasn't hit on Crimson.
At all.
Infact, the only time he said something, was when YOU posted a line from him. One, I'll point out, that was not even suggested by myself.
It is only on my GM-whim, that I went on with it, because it would make the line near the end, all that much funnier.

And besides, this is a direct outgrowth from all the conversations you guys have had with Hornet all along. You were the ones who told him that the Decepticons could be redeemed. You were the ones who admitted that a great many of you were former Decepticons. You were the ones who told him that war is hell and that he should never be too quick to want to go and kill people. And now, confronted with a Decepticon his own size who seems to be just sick and tired of war, and who was not merely friendly but overjoyed to see him when they first met (if only because of the circumstances), how else would you expect Hornet to react?
Besides, it'll piss off Ironhide :D
