Yeah, I've more or less given up.
Doesn't mean he can't be mean though.

OTOH, we've got Starscream for a leader. He's not crazy like Galvatron... he's just Starscream.

-Synapse would like to get some more exploration time in space. He'd be very happy to be a part of the party to accompany Skyfire so he can inwardly fanboy on little expedition. -Wedge somehow sometime gets to go fast....like a race car. Some how. -Wedge encountering more Constructicons. -Sky-Byte's EPIC REMATCH with Claw Jaw xD Ahhh, I'll put more up once I remember them

Just a list for possible ideas from the three under my wing. What happens, happens, what doesn't, doesn't.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Skid-Z Race! He's been looking forward to that!
Meet up? With the dust settling and looking his healthy self once more (sort off), could be a nice moment to catch up with the other RIDers.
For the rest: go fool around with him. He goes all over the place.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Ramulus Crisis core Some people should not get upset. Bad for their sparkcore. Oooooh, did he just flash a white light?
Foreign metals What's a transmetal? Am I one? Because IDW was so kind to let all kinds of variants emerge in the comics without the calling tags; Ramulus is curious to the relation of himself to some mentionings.
Someday, somewhere.... a nice thick wintercoat on furred components =D Marvel/poke/question/smirk at fluffyness. Just because he could be changeable by the seasons.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Mistwind Not much for small plots
I personally have a subplot suggestion/contribution regarding Mistwind. Should I manage to get the nitty gritty down, I'll send it in? It's a probable for in outer space.
For the rest, same with Skid-Z: He'll fool around and.... play... with you. Intentionally distorting comfort zones where reaping the chance.

For Brushguard, only thing I have at the moment is:
IPEEC BETTLE-A OOFF ZEE XENUBEEULUGISTS!111!!!!111!!111!!!1
If you didn't get that, it's: Epic battle of the xenobiologists. In particular, I'm talking about Brushguard and Botonica getting it on. Autobot xenobiologist against Decepticon xenobiologist, who will win?!

Botanica would like to respectfully point out that she is a xenobotanist, not a xenobiologist. Biology and Botany cover two different areas, and if you wish the *ahem* "IPEEC BETTLE-A OOFF ZEE XENUBEEULUGISTS!111!!!!111!!111!!!1" then you need to be set in opposition to Perceptor or First Aid, though admittedly a battle against the latter would hardly be epic now, would it?"
She also suggests that Brushguard would not need a translator if he refrained from using inane and rather annoying LOLcat-esque speech patterns which, despite being oddly popular with Terran youths, is neither funny nor does it easily foster dialogue between individuals.
Lastly, while she is rather confused as to how someone who does not yet exist in her reality can declare goals involving her reality, to the challenge put forth she says, quite simply, "Bring it."

Perceptor would like to point out that, as willing as he is to engage in a xenobiological skills confrontation which he is quite confident of performing most superiorly upon, Brushguard is not a xenobiologist. He is a xenobotanist, another scientific field in which Perceptor also professes a... modest amount of skill.
He would not, however, turn down Botanica's assistance in such an endeavor, as she is also significantly skilled in the field of xenobotany.
He does concede Botanica's other points, though.

Oh dang, I think I majorly blew up my app then... I never saw the word xenobotanist before so I never really made a connection... Despite Brushguard's box text saying saying xenobiology and others saying botanist, I went for the fancier word since it appeared more canon to me. My apologies for the inaccuracy. Newbs mistake. Thanks for telling me you guys.
And again I apologise for forgetting First Aid and Perceptor. I didn't know they had those skills. I don't know much about particular characters because I'm more than just new, I'm new-new but still learning tid bits here and there.
And again sorry about the speech. I'm full of apologises today although I mean every word. I don't want to feel like a stranger in the group.
What's this about realities? Because my app hasn't been stamp-approved yet?

Re: 'Realities.' Also, 'Universes', 'dimensions', whatever short hand is available for you. Essentially, it's the reason we have G1 characters, Beast Machines characters, Cybertron characters, Movie characters, Transformers: Animated characters, RiD characters, etc, all in the same game. Each of the various Transformers series are treated as different realities, or alternate universes, that the Transformers in the game are being plucked from and deposited into the game universe from.
Re: botany vs. biology. It's my understanding that biology is the general, and botany is the specific. That is, biology is the study of life, botany is the study of plant life. Someone who focuses on biology would likely have broad knowledge of its sub-disciplines, including at least some general knowledge on biology, while someone focusing on botany would have deep knowledge of plant life, but less general information on biology as a whole. As for the 'xeno' prefix, 'xeno' just means alien, so if you stick 'xeno' in front of a science, that means they study that science as it applies to worlds that aren't their homeworld. So a xenobotanist from Earth would study plants that don't come from Earth, while a xenobotanist from Cybertron would study plants that don't come from Cybertron (meaning that a xenobotanist from Cybertron /might/ study plants from Earth). Therefore, the 'xeno' prefix is a bit subjective and based, largely, on the home world (or at least the world where the character learned their trade).
A search of a dictionary or the like might not yield up anything for xenobotanist or xenobiology, as those terms tend to have more meaning in the context of a science fiction or quasi-science fiction (we're really more science fantasy when it comes down to it) than they do in the real world, so to compare the two, you just chop off the 'xeno' part, look up the word, and then apply it to whatever you character would consider alien to his species.
Re: Brushguard. /Cybertron/ Brushguard is, at least, a botanist - he rather clearly studies plants. I don't know anything about any movie Brushguards - my quick internet search has yet to reveal a movie Brushguard toy, so if one exists, it's pretty new. If you have a toy for him or access to a tech-spec, a quick read-through should help clarify whether he's a generalist (biologist) or a specialist (botanist). If every description in the context of his tech spec talks about using plant toxins and plants and whatnot, he's a specialist - a botanist.
I hope this clears things up some?

What's this about realities? Because my app hasn't been stamp-approved yet? This isn't a "stamp-approve" type game. Almost every player on the board - including some of the mods - have had a character denied or sent back to be fixed before getting it approved. Approval isn't just a formality, it's work. I wish you luck on yours.

Lol, I was using the term lightly. An inside joke for me. I'm not demeaning the amount of dedication Rodimus and the others put in to this board. I tried my best to be within the guidelines and rules.
Guess you guys are pretty serious in the approval process... Thanks for the luck. I'll have my fingers crossed.

It's serious, but I wouldn't let it get you down if you get it denied. I think half my attempts have been sent back with a no. And to add to what Clipper pointed out, it's not -just- a "no" - Adminimus goes into depth to let you know what would need to be changed to get the character in, so you're not in the dark as to why you were denied, if you were denied.

I think all of mine have been bounced back for small changes before being approved, so don't be discouraged.
On topic; Blackout requests someone to accompany him on a corpse retrieval mission to the swamp.

On topic, if you can wait for that until after I'm coherent after surgery again (and can finish the thread with Eye-Fire, too), then Barricade would be more than happy to do so with Blackout.
Unless you're looking for non-movie continuity mechs to have fun with. In that case, Barricade will just happily go torment hang out with Wreckage or someone else. (and I can't wait until I'm off these drugs and can be... creative again, drat it. Significant and profuse apologies to Eye-Fire for putting that thread on hold so long.)
