Okay, I know someone’s already made this joke. Hell I’m think I might have already made this joke. But it has been nagging at my brain, and so it must be done!
Ahem
Our world is in danger!
To save it and the galaxy
We must find the four Omega Keys
Before the New Decepticons can use them for evil.
It is our mission!
Broadband!
Forcep!
Flyby!
Breakswitch!
■■■■■■■■■■■■!
Topside!
Transform and roll out!
Aight, since eye color’s become one of the important leads in finding the spy, I’ll make a list here of what all the NPC’s eyes look like:
Topside’s eyes are a bright red, with white irises in the middle.
■■■■■■■■■■■■’s eyes are ice blue. They’re round, lense-like devices like what the movieverse transformers have.
We don’t know what color Motherboard’s eyes are- if she even has proper eyes under that visor, and not some other device that lets her see.
Broadband’s eyes are yellow, with no visible irises or pupils.
Flyby and Brakeswitch both have pink lightish red light red eyes, whit no visible irises or pupils.
Forcep’s eyes are a minty green color, with white irises.
Sprocket has movieverse style eyes, like ■■■■■■■■■■■■. They’re yellow, like Broadband’s.
Grommet’s left eye is lime green. He lost his right eye in a siege and had it replaced with a telescopic prosthetic that has a ruby red glow.
Greasemonkey’s left eye is a pale yellow, with no visible iris. Like Grommet, his right eye was damaged and replaced with a prosthetic, which glows blue.
Thrift’s eyes glow a dark shade of blue, with no visible irises.
Facelift’s eye is a single yellow bulb with a white pupil in it’s center.
Salvo’s eyes are pale blue, and her mech suit has a visor over it’s face- like Motherboard, we don’t yet know if it even has eyes under there.
Halfrunner has dark blue, movieverse-style eyes.
Lurch’s eyes are ruby red- the same as the spy’s. That’s why he was the primary suspect in the first place.
Shockwave’s eye is a large bulb, like those security cameras you sometimes see in schools or public buildings. It’s blood-red, notably deeper than the spy’s and Lurch’s.
So, what we’re looking for is someone who has red sunglasses…
@everyone_who_doesn’t_know_who_the_spy_is:
With all seriousness, I feel that the color of the eyes may easily be a red herring, or perhaps our biggest clue yet. I don’t know how far this spy would go to disguise themselves from people who don’t know who they are, but if they had access to excess eyes and skill to replace their own, they could betray this eye color theory. This would suggest Forcep, which would be a terrifying spy, as his job as a medic could mean that he has compromised anyone who has ever gone to him for medical aid.
However, I also kinda doubt this because I am just throwing stuff out there that I, who am entirely perplexed about this, am thinking.
It’s going to be so great when Chrome reveals him/her and goes, “I gave you all of the clues, you just didn’t focus on the right ones.”
There are two things I can say right now concerning the spy:
1). Whoever they are, they won’t be some rando you’ve never met before prior to their reveal. It’ll be a named NPC that’s interacted with player characters multiple times before. Having you guys chase red herrings before revealing that it was some goon your characters had no idea existed would be bad GM-ing on my part, and I wouldn’t do that to you guys.
2). I said previously that I wasn’t ready to have the spy revealed just yet- he still needed to be providing intel to the New Decepticons so that they could hunt you guys. Well, pretty soon Bludgeon’s gonna find an alternative way to track Salvation; he won’t need to depend on his spy to give him your location anymore. He’ll still have his uses in sowing chaos within the ship (like he’s about to do with the assassin he woke up), but at this point, if you guys play your cards right, it’s possible that you could catch the spy before I eventually reveal their identity.
Wha
It’s okay if you don’t know what I’m talking about. You all will find out soon…
This just… isn’t right. That dragon mode would not have made Starchaser as nigh-invulnerable as your making her out to be here, nor would her armor have been that durable in the first place. A rocket to the face would be more likely to send her into stasis lock, if not kill her outright.
Yeah, I kinda thought that was a bit much. My bad. I’ll edit it accordingly.
Fixed it!
I think it’s only fair to warn you: if Starchaser doesn’t come to her senses soon, Greasemonkey will shoot her dead. He’s a surprisingly trigger-happy Autobot, and he’s not aware she isn’t in her right mind; as far as he’s concerned, she’s placing a fellow crewmember and the ship at large in danger.
There’s gonna be one big thing, and then she’ll calm down.
Afraid you’re a bit late there. Check the last post I made. Right above the one you just did.
@meepinater so are you going to fix it?
oop, sorry
Caedia is one of Waffle’s characters; you might wanna tag him to let him know you wanna interact.
thanks, I wasn’t sure whose she was
@Chromeharpoon what’s your stance on ghosts? The kind of ghosts that only one person can see?
And if not ghosts, what about figments of the imagination that take the form of the deceased?
@meepinater @ToaNoah_Wafflemeister @ProfSrlojohn
Sorry for the diminished activity; some of the social distancing protocols have been relaxed where I live and some family members came to visit.
If y’all have any characters not in the middle of something right now, I’d recommend having them explore the ancient vault Blackbelt’s characters found.
Ah crap. Am I on some sorta hit list?
In other news, I’ve honestly been meaning to get rid of Treadquake for a while. Seeing as his only character trait was “is angry and violent”
Now that he’s out of the way, there’s another character that’s been forming in this here brain 'o mine. Time to see how he plays.
Name: Pipebomb
Homeworld: Junkion
Faction: Neutral
Appearance: At a glance, Pipebomb looks like an Empurata victim. Having only one good hand, the other being a basic sort of claw. As well as a complete lack of any distinct face.
Like most junkions, he has a very mismatched body. Though coming across with a generally fair and tough build. Despite his hodgepodge appearance, he’s managed to keep a consistent color scheme of orange, yellow, and black.
Altmodes: A junker motorbike with a sidecar, large enough for smaller bots.
Weapons: Pipebomb, as his name suggests, has a very explosives based combat style. His claw hand can change into a grenade launcher, and he also carries pressure mines that he can lay on the ground and stick to surfaces. Said mines are activated when stepped on, or can be detonated remotely. He has a habit of using these mines to launch himself, for an added bit of mobility.
Bio:
“I’ve been called a lot of things. A crazed lunatic. A danger to myself and everyone around me. But I’ll tell you what I really am. I’m the best d@mn explosives expert you’ll ever meet. So what if I have a bit of a drinking problem? So what if I use my own bombs to get around? What matters is that I’m a terror on the battlefield, and don’t you forget it!”
So, he’s the TF2 Demoman but a Junkion that looks kinda like a version of Soundwave from the UT?
Sideways, not Soundwave, and the only part of the design he really borrows is just the head.
But yes, a certain black scottish Cyclops did play a significant role in his inspiration.
All y’all have most of your characters on some sorta hit list.
Pipebomb is accepted.
Somebody get the Cybertronian equivalent of scrumpy, this guy is gonna be needing it.
I take it you play Demo in TF2 and Junkrat in Overwatch, Max?
I have one question: does he have a Scottish accent and 1 functioning eye/optic under his faceplate?
I haven’t decided on an accent yet, and the whole faceplate sort of is his eye. Like a visor, only his entire face.
Yes I understand this brings up the issue of how he’s supposed to drink. I’m figuring that out.,
