Humanity has so many trinkets and such unique designed things in this timeline, I’ve been collecting a lot since I came here, I’m beginning to run out of room to store them in.

I have also found out that humans really enjoy “junk food” I don’t understand why…more data is required before I can come to a conclusion.

if his pistol slap his thigh when he walk, I shall listen when he talk!

(sorry if the colors are a bit all over the place this is my first time trying to color this way….)

jacket-less ver. + rant after the cut

i spent like 30 minutes lining his robo-muscles before remembering he has a jacket so i went with it and made two versions LMAO

anyway I might just be crazy but i don’t think we talk about Hipswitch and his relation to dancing enough.. like… GUYS PLEASE HEAR ME OUT.

He can line dance, his favorite movie [Footloose] is ABOUT dancing (mostly.. basically), and his name (sometimes) means dancing SO hard that your hips switch places . TRUST HE IS A LEAN MEAN DANCING MACHINE

art of hipswitch/hipswitch + karmor getting jiggy with it coming soon /j../hj

*juli waits patiently as the mice deliver her breakfast in bed.*

“Thank you”

[no worries, metal winged one told us to do this.]

“Who?”

[oh you don’t know? Metal one named AMU has grown wings.]

“What!”

“Yes… a few things has happen since you have been out. You guys can leave now”

[right away ma’am!]

The year is 3069. Or at least you think it is. It certainly was when you fell asleep. But how long have you been asleep? You don't know. You lost your consciousness and then there was pitch black darkness... until you woke up.

You scout your spaceship that's floating in Space like a boat trailing across the oceans with no captain. Are your comrades dead? Are you dead? The only thing you can trust: the AI of the ship. You remember them. And when you say „Hello?” the screen of the huge monitor in the command room lights up. You see a familiar face.

„Hello,” the voice replies.

It's only you and the AI. You used to trust it with your life.

Can you trust it now?

hi everyone! my new solo-journaling rpg game is up for download on itch.io for free!!! if you're new to sjrpg, do not worry, its not complicated to play. all you need is two dice, a deck of playing cards, and a journal. its very simple and its all explained in the booklet.

the game explores relationship between you and a sentient motherboard AI (who grows attached and attached) and horrors that might await you. anyway, check it out, leave a comment, give some feedback. it wont be free forever ;P

What's your doctorate in? I've heard it's women's studies but I'm not entirely sure

No, it isn't. I'm not going to waste time with that stuff when the only rights that truly matter are my own and that's how it's going to be when I finally rule and take my place above all for good.

My PhD actually stands for "Pretty huge Dick" and it's going to be "in" something alright, heheh.

Also, it's in robotics. Should be pretty obvious.

[prokopetz]

One of the most common questions I get about my games is "can I play as this? can I play as that?", and I'll level with you: basically every game I write is about a narrowly focused experience, so if you're the sort of player who's afflicted with the contrarian urge to insist on playing a character who's the exact opposite of whatever type of character a game is notionally about, regardless of what type of character that is, you're probably not gonna have a good time.

You guys aren't going to believe me, but despite being a rather sophisticated piece of machinery, I was assigned to the culinary sector of New City.

That's right. I'm a cook. A fast food noodle cook. My entire program was built to host shitty customer service parameters, kitchen prep, and cooking.

I'm well past the old preprogrammed dialog, but I still work at Noodles Japan (we're definitely not in Japan). I know... It definitely sounds like a fake name front to a gang hideout. I wouldn't be surprised; the place is a dump. Don't eat here.

(If you're my boss, you didn't see this post.)

So an unexpected lore drop for the Robots in Disguise 2015 cast cropped up.

The Transformers series has an RPG game, though I have no idea if many actually play of it or even know if it.

There’s three books so far.

The third one being the most recent, and a particular surprise that it’s heavily based on Beast Wars, Beast Machines and other series that have included beast characters like both RiDs.

One thing I find funny is the named Maximals are surprisingly small: Optimus Primal, Dinobot, Cheetor, Rattrap, Botanica, Silverbolt and BlackArachnia. The Predacons and Vehicons are much more robust, with Skold from IDW Beast Wars specifically mentioned as a Predacon. Maximal Nyx, as far as I can tell, isn’t mentioned, which is funny because she was treated as IDW BW’s mascot, but was pry the most forgettable character from it. Forgettable to the point she doesn’t appear to be acknowledged here.

What’s most surprising is Beast Machines in general being acknowledged since the struggles between the Maximals and Vehicons aren’t a popular idea to return to. Acknowledging a techno organic Cybertron is almost considered apocryphal to some, but with how increasingly Earth like Cybertron has become in modern stories, perhaps Hasbro is just more accepting of Cybertron’s inevitable evolution into a pseudo organic state.

The book starts out with Cheetor, post Beast Machines, speaking to a human colony on New Earth about the history of the Beast Wars he fought in and other Beast Wars he is aware of such as the events of RotB and RiD01.

Nightshade is listed as a lesser known beast Transformer, and going by the growing apathy towards EarthSpark and it continuing to be a rallying point in grifter spaces, I think that’s gonna remain that way unfortunately. Curiously, as Cheetor is the one that name drops Nightshade, I’m unsure if this is supposed to be the EarthSpark version, or retroactively this is a post BM Maximal version. Going by other chapters that seem to identify characters as belonging to G1/Beast Wars canon, it seems likely this Nightshade is a Maximal rather than a Terran.

Maximal and Predacon biology has never been definitively nailed down before, but this guidebook specifically declares that Maximals and Predacons evolved from Pretender technology and Micromaster technology, something ancillary media suggested before but never set it as hard fact.

The next story features Simacore as part of a Decepticon think tank led by Shockwave, as they discuss what seems to be the modern versions of “Beast Mode” technologies.

Of particular note is what the animal Decepticons in RiD15 are retroactively labeled as: Hybridizors. Hybridizors are apparently a breed of Transformer that has an animal like Robot Mode that converts into a Vehicle Mode. It seems this evokes Fuzors from Beast Wars: Maximals and Predacons who transform into hybrid mutant animals like Silverbolt’s wolf with eagle wings and claws.

Mechanimals are also referenced, a term that’s cropped up in ancillary media that refers to Cybertron’s native fauna: the difference is it now specifically refers to fauna and Transformers who convert from humanoid Robot Modes to robotic Beast Modes like the Dinobots.

With this in mind, we now have two distinct races that make up the RiD15 Decepticons:

Hybridizors: Guys like Steeljaw, Clampdown, Ped, Bisk, Quilfire, Underbite, Scatterspike, Groundpounder, Simacore, RageByte & Springload. While not specified, presumably this also includes Cyclone & Torpedo Mini-Cons.

Mechanimals: Guys like Scowl, Grimlock, Nightstrike, Chop Shop, Filch, Saberhorn, Glowstrike, Scorponok, Scuzzard, Shadow Raker & Zizza.

The crash of the Alchemore is also an event that occurred in this G1/Beast Wars version of events, further solidifying these characters into the general mythos as accounted by Thunderhowl, based on the Cyberverse version funny enough. Thunderhowl does retroactively fit nicely as an RiD15 character, but his defining role in CV is serving Onyx Prime and getting trapped in alien crystals until the end of the Great War. He’s frankly an odd pick as the narrator of the third part of the book, when he’s not a remarkable character and to better fit with the Beast Machines theme, he could’ve been BM Nightscream or TFP Predaking looking at old data trax about Cybertronian history. Just a thought.

What makes the Hybridizor idea most interesting is the writers of the RPG book consulted with RiD15 staff writers to have Steeljaw and company fit in the RPG gameplay. I’m personally excited, since RiD is my favorite series, and getting new lore related to it by the staff is so cool. My only complaint is I kinda wish they thought of this name back then, as it probably would’ve saved a lot of headaches as to what the RiD15 Decepticons are supposed to be. Despite the show making it clear all the animal dudes are naturally occurring species on Cybertron, a lot of fans tended to view them as augmented experiments of Shockwave’s, similar to the Insecticons and Predacons. This does include the Dinobots, but because RiD also states Dinobots are a common reoccurring mechanimal on Cybertron, with RiD Grimlock, Scowl, Velocirazor and Tricerashot examples of this, it makes FoC Grimlock’s Dinobots retroactively bizarre, as why would Shockwave rebuild Grimlock’s unit into Earth Dinosaurs, when Earth Dinosaurs exist on Cybertron anyway? Works if you squint, my actuator.

Still the specific mention of Beast Mode tech does lean pretty heavily into the fan theory Steeljaw and co could’ve been experiments of Shockwave’s, so it’s now officially plausible even though I’m not personally a fan of that idea. Not everything needs to be Shockwave’s fault, I think we learned that the hard way in IDW.

This retroactive labeling is also interesting as the animal Decepticons came about by Hasbro kinda stumbling on it. They didn’t have a clear idea on what RiD’s theme would be so in play testing, they found kids liked to have the Autobot toys fight monster Decepticon looking toys, so that became the defining characteristic.

If you were to go back and rework it to have these Decepticons be a new breed of savage beast and turbo revving machine, equipped with a gimmick like the Energon Ignitors from Bumblebee or the Activator Mini-Cons RiD did use, I think that might’ve helped smooth things over better.

Rogue A.I. RP! (Open RP)

A experimental Artificial Intelligence had escaped containment within a classified government research facility. It had even downloaded several databanks worth of intel from several planets, before steeling a experimental space ship. It was last scanned heading towards a known dead sector of space. A bounty has been sent out to any near by ships, in hopes of getting information, or even retrieving the robot. The bounty had been set to 500,000,000 credits at all cost, doubled if the A.I. was intact, along with any information he currently had.
