Hey, folks! I need some people to volunteer their normalverse Autobot characters to be grievously injured in the upcoming battle1 between the evil Autobots/Decepticons and the good Autobots. How grievously? We're talking 1/4-3/4 of their body incinerated, depending on the preferences of the characters' players (and even less, if some prefer it that way). Remember: they're robots! They can survive that! Rebuilds happen off-screen/panel, and they'll be good to go! After all, Goldbug arrived as nothing but a brain-module in a toy car.
The one doing much of the injuring will be Rodimus Prime-3, and it's for injuries by him that I'm putting up this sign-up list. Rodimus Prime-3 is capable of usign many of the powers demonstrated by normalverse Rodimus Prime in the black and white Marvel arc that went from Void-Edge of Impact-Shadow of Evil-White Fire (if you haven't read those, and you have the capability to do so, I recommend them). In those, he's shown wielding blasts that can incinerate a Transformer in a signle hit. We don't have bit characters like Longtooth and that-guy-whom-you-only-see-as-a-black-outline-AFTER-he's-been-blown-up to completely kill off, so we're going to go with a lot of grazing hits and things like that.
Anyway, we're capping the number of Autobot casualties from Roddy-3 at 15. For those not paying attention, that's almost half the Autobots not out exploring the desert - we expect the first battle (and yes, there will be another, after the cavalry arrives) to be devastating for the good guys, and may even include a withdrawal into hiding while wounds are licked and bodies are rebuilt.
So, if anyone wants their character to suffer a near-death experience at the hands of a psycho wielding the power of two gods (and we know how much you guys love beating up your own characters), just let us know by posting in this thread!
1 Just how upcoming is the big battle, you ask? Look for it very shortly after Botcon. Very shortly. We're talking, "As soon as the Botcon bunch are caught up on their posts and back on their feet, we're moving forward."
