Idea so Far..., Add what you want

[nemo_b]

Alright, here's the idea so far...

This RPG is set to begin almost right after the movie ends. Autobots have recieved Optimus' signal and many are now arriving on Earth. On the other hand the Decepticon cause is not lost...there are many more where they came from, all vying for the last remnant of the All Spark, while trying to rebuild their ranks.

Feel free to add to this thread.

Well Starscream could be the commander of the Decepticons this time... and but then if the Allspark was inserted into Megs.... how can there be a fragment of it?

[Azedenkae]

There was. It was not properly pushed in.

[nemo_b]

Well, like I said, anyone is welcome to put forth ideas, so all opinions are welcome.

I saw the fragment, so I thought we might be able to do something with that until we decide the big board wide plot...

[Sandblaster]

um, sorry if this is the wrong spot, but as pertaining to ideas, is it after the first and second movie? And If its the first, do we need to take the events of the second into consideration?

How About He do A Few Prequels Like Allince And Defince? To You Know Entertain The Players Before The Real Story Begins.

[Sandblaster]

What if we made it like an actual continuation of the war? Like, let's say we are after the vents of Revenge of the Fallen. We have sections for things to be i different areas of the world. In each base, the factions make plans, then send out people to execute them. Like, we make all the stories part of one big super-story, and the eventual goal of each faction is revealed through dialogues in their bases. Like, for example, we would have threads running in different areas, each given a rough time period and chronological order, where different players interact and do certain things. In the bases, they would speak with each other and Megatron, which would address how their actions are related to an ultimate goal. I don't know, its just an idea, but isn't that more like an actual war between the Autobots and Decepticons, instead of just a bunch of random stories and fights?

I am thinking it should take the first and second into consideration, but I think all canon transformers are still able to be played despite their fate, as long as its explained how they've returned.

Those ideas actually sound good. We don't want to limit things to just the bases, as there are human characters as well being played. But you are right in that it would be a good way to transition things and keep players entertained till the major story starts.

[Sandblaster]

So what's the plan?

And where is everyone?

[Sandblaster]

Hey what about this:

Its the days following the events in Transformers 2, which occurred June 24-26 2009. The Decepticons have had their army broken and scattered, and are regrouping at the nemesis and attempting to replenish their energy reserves to rebuild their army and attack once more. The Autobots, unsure what the Decepticon plot is, are trying to gather information and stop them. We could have a prolonged series of engagements, with victories on both sides, where characters will be developed. At one point, The Decepticons will regain power and a climatic battle will ensue, resulting in another Decepticon defeat due to unforeseen circumstances. The balance of power once again more or less equal, the war will be interrupted by the appearance of Unicron, and his assault on earth. The Decepticons and Autobots will be forced to join forces to stop him or something.

Anyway, that's just a rough idea if it helps or anything.

I'll try to get my Optimus muse running again and see if I can't get an idea of what he could assign the autobots to do, specifically.

I mean it'd be worthless to gather them all together just to say, "let's keep an eye out for Decepticons. Autobots I want you to gather any information you can on the Decepticons. Go on missions to infiltrate their activities but don't go alone."

Hmm, all on active Autobot accounts could pm my Optimus account on what their bot's position is and what they are good at. Are they good at medical, gathering information, etc. What kind of information can they gather?

If they are the flight kind would they be able to pick up frequencies/conversations used by the Decepticons. Give me an idea of what the Autobot can do.
