Yes, he went there.

True... but how high would that make her on DeathStrike and Stryke? :twisted:

Charon, one thing. Prime is not a man. He's a bot with a male gender for some odd reason.

Is time to extol upon the Teenybot virtues of Energon-based Vodka!

From now on, Gridlock refers to Hornet as Teenybot.......and Wideload thinks of him as a petrorabbit...without the big pointy teeth...

One of these days I'm going to need to find out what a Petro-rabbit actually is.

And why oh why does Hornet always get the crazy nicknames...

For reference....energon is energon....

doesn't matter if it's naturally occuring, oil based, vodka based, or ruby based - the only difference is in the overall power availability in the cube. Admittedly it may contain some of the properties of the original matter used to create the Energon Cube... (like being a slight bit more intoxicating than normal Energon if made from alcohol based liquids) but beyond that, it's merely a Energon.



Second mark, a breem is 8.3 minutes, approximatly.

Hornet is a third the mass of a standard transformer, and they just fed him ultra-distilled high-grade alcohol-based energon that is sufficiently powerful to give someone like Shellshock (who is likely between 25 and 30 TIMES Hornet's weight) a bit of a lightheaded effect.

This is the equivelant to feeding Everclear to a five-year old, least that's how I've been playing it.

A brief outline of Shellshock until I get off my lazy ass and actually write it out.

Shellshock was a military model 'bot that has been around since before Megatron began his first Civil War. When Megatron came to him, attempting to convert him to his side, Shellshock told him where he could stuff his promises and was fairly badly beaten for his trouble. During the Second Cybertronian War Shellshock served the Autobots, one of the few Military models that stayed with the Autobots. During this time he was entered into the Wreckers. Shellshock is a part of the strike team that hits at the Grande Rift, but much as Megatron disappeared for millions of years, so did Shellshock. Horribly damaged he was put into stasis where he stayed during the entirity of the the Third Cybertronian War. Shellshock is later woken by Optimus Prime and serves with him during the Fourth Great war. During this time, Shellshock finds his partner Overload and they find they work together amazingly well. The two bots eventually adjusted their transformations to form into a combiner and assist to a greater effect in the war.

Eventually, when forced to leave Cybertron, Shellshock and Overload left with Optimus Prime on the Ark. The two Autobots woke up just before the beginning of Earth's Great War and when it began, decided to serve in a war once again, this time to assist the humans. After the war, the two went into stasis after giving their report to Teletron, only to be woken again a few weeks ago to serve in the war again.

More NPC's........


Blackout
Decepticon
Function: Troop Transport - Heavy Assault (Triple Changer)
Alternate Modes:
MH-53M Pave Low
Image

Missle Tank
Image

Robot
Image

Profile
A powerful, hulking warrior, Blackout was the first in a line of Decepticons built and given Spark on Earth. Since coming online, Blackout as become a devout follower of Megatron, treating the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction as unto a god. To Blackout, no day can be called complete, no battle truly finished, as long as there is an Autobot chassis in range of his optics that has not been deactivated. Battle is his calling, devotion to the Decepticon cause his Energon, and Blackout has embraced them both with all his dark Spark.

Abilities
As a triple changer Blackout can convert between his three forms twice as fast as a normal Transformer. In all forms he has access to an advanced Over the Horizon (O.T.H.) sensor suite which allows him to keep track of the field of battle, and act as a relay station when placed on the rear lines.

In Robot form subject is, like all Decepticons, capable of flight through powerful antigrav thrusters mounted in his legs. His robot form is one of the most massive for a non-gestault decepticon, standing over fifteen meters tall, allowing for exceptional strength and armoring, while still allowing him above average agility. His armaments in this form include twin Gatling photon lasers mounted on his forearms just above his wrists which can unleash a sustained burst of withering fire. Blackout can disengage his rotor-blades to serve as energon charged swords, capable of slicing through titanium steel.

In Pave Low mode, Blackout is capable of carrying a squadron of Decepticon warriors within his passenger area. The dual photon Gatling cannons become his primary weapon, backed up by half 30 kiloton energon tipped missiles. In this form, subject has a flight ceiling of 25,000 feet and can travel at speeds up to 350 m.p.h.

In tank mode, Blackout becomes a near one robot army. Able to travel over most terrains at speeds up to 45 m.p.h. The normally heavily armor becomes even thicker as components compact upon itself - allowing Blackout to absorb even more punishment. The Gatling lasers transfer to forward firing points and as a multiple missile pack allows him to rain torrential artillery upon his targets.

Weakness
Subject sometimes forgets his mass in tank form, causing him to get stuck in softer terrain. Blackout's O.T.H. sensors can be fooled by strong electromagnetic readings, causing false readings. Subject's Photon Gatling lasers have a tendancy to overheat and sieze up with sustained use.

------ ------ ------

Omega Sentinel
Decepticon
Function: Heavy Assault
Alternate Form: rocket base
Image

Megatron's answer to Omega Supreme - the Omega Sentinel is the ultimate general for the despot's army of Guardian Robots. As strong and unyielding as Omega Supreme, the Omega Sentinel is a coldly efficient killing machine. Memory engrams taken from Shockwave and Megatron guide this mighty Cybertronian juggernaut. Thankfully, only one of these exsist, for like Omega Supreme, the Omega Sentinel is imbued with it's own Spark.

Abilities:
See Omega Supreme

Weakness:
Because of the memory engrams of Megatron and Shockwave imposed over it's own minimal personality programming, subject sometimes freezes in the midst of battle as it attempts to prioritize the multiple stimuli and determine the proper source of action. Although immensely powerful, the Omega Sentinel is physically slow and his rocket mode is grossly fuel inefficient.

Oh good... because Hornet wasn't sufficiently underpowered compared to the NORMAL Decepticons, we now need Decepticon monstrocities to crush him more EFFICIENTLY :lol:

Now my only real concern is which hostage to take and try to kill before you kill me I suppose. Of course given that I've got 4 close range weapons at my disposal to one weapon...the odds should be in my favor...

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF PRIMUS IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!" Blitzwing on being attacked by Breakout again.

Name: Breakout
Alligience: Autobot
Function: Kill Decepticons and break their stuff... Also called assualt.

Profile/history: Breakout was created by Prime during the 4th war based on a military model. As such he literally does not remember a time before warfare and the Golden Age of Cybertron is just so much mythlogy to him. Once on the front lines he quickly made a name for himself as a sucessful if stubborn and somewhat overly aggressive warrior, urging fellow Autobots to attack whenever there were decent odds of sucess. The Decepticons came to know him to when he ripped the head off a local company leader and flaunted it in front of Decepticon lines for 6 lunar days daring them to come and take it away from him if they could. He lost it in a megacycle long brawl with the Decepticon Blitzwing who while retreiving the head had to withdraw from injuries sustained in the fight. Breakout had to be carried back to Autobot lines and spent a long time in a CR chamber. He still picks fights with Blitzwing at every opening.

Breakout was left behind on Cybertron when Prime took a number of Autobot warriors and left on the Ark. While he fought for some time eventually he decided Cybertron was a lost cause, a dying husk that would emtomb him and his troops and not worth continued fighting. He and his unit (called the Headhunters) joined a group of Autobots calling themselves the Autobot Expendary Force and left Cybertron touring the galaxy killing off Decepticons who had likewise fled. Eventually a surprise attack destroyed the AEF and Breakout and the few survivors headed back to Cybertron after engaging in revenge.

At this point Breakout heard Prime's call and pulled both by loyalty to his Creator, his fellow Autobots and the desire to get his hands into Blitzwing's Optics again he came towards Earth.

Weaknesses: A bit to Aggressive, he doesn't know when to stop, some have suggested he can't. Also his armor while good isn't as thick as a top of the line militaryform would be. This leaves very vernuable to heavy weapons.

Weapons: Combat Knife, Arm cannon on his left forearm and pair of missle launchers on his right shoulder.

Alt Form: Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle M3

Posted here first so if there's any need for discussion among players it can be dealt with without to much trouble.

*Thanks go to Tevar and Nitram for helping with this character profile.
