Comments: Atlas is an interesting character. He was originally a 60’s Jack Kirby creation that only lasted an issue or two and then went into limbo. The new writers of the Superman books dug him out and are making him a new threat for the Man of Steel, and I guess actually Mon-El and The Guardian as well, since they are protecting Metropolis while Kal-El is on New Krypton.

In his re-introduction he took Superman out but he was being assisted by Sam Lane’s new clandestine anti-Kryptonian group. Krypto did well against him, though, and once Supes figured it out, he took him down. So it’s hard to get a read on his real strength right now but it does look like he has the ability to at least give Superman a real hard time so PL13 for my universe seemed about right.
And nothing fancy on the build, all he’s shown is powerhouse ability so far, so that’s the build he gets.

Comments: Even though he’s dead (at the moment, but we know how comic book deaths go), I felt the need to whip up The Hulk’s old punching bag, The Abomination. He’s stronger than a clam Hulk, but really no match for him once he starts raging. He’s a handful for other lower level paragons, though, because he’s strong, tough and smart and has a good amount of skills from his time as a Russian…government agent? Scientist? Spy? Retcons vary…

[Thorpacolypse]

Always good to see the Incredibles (especially Mrs. Incredible/Elasti-Girl *rowr*). I'm kind of surprised that you didn't give Bob more ranks in Super-Strength. With what you have given him, he's about as strong as Spider-Man is and I think Mister Incredible is supposed to be much stronger than that.

That's true, I just didn't want him to be too overpowering a potential PC. He has a lifting strength of 50 which is enough to toss a semi and he can stunt more strength if need be. But I may go back and trim some feats for a couple more ranks of super strength if I playtest and he doesn't perform very well.

[Severance]

The idea of a Mr. Incredible/Scorpinok fight is much too good to pass up Thorp. Maybe another story built on the the Incredibles movie, replacing the tri-pod robots with Decepticons?

Also, is there any chance you could build the orginal Megatron or his Beast Wars incarnation? Giant guns and dinosaurs, what more can you ask for?

Comments: This was actually my first shot at a Transformer from the kick arse movie of the summer, but I had to post OP and Megatron first, just because they're the main men in that genre.

I didn't give Scorponok morph because he never morphed in the movie, nor does his movie themed toy look like anything special other than him just kind of standing on his back legs. Other than, I think I captured his movie abilities pretty well. I may add datalink, though, not just to him, but to all the Transformers since it seemed like an innate ability, at least in the early part of the movie.

Update 7/27/07: Added the magnetic flaw and cleaned him up enough to get him to a balanced PL10/150.

Clean Up 7/9/09: Scorpy gets a clean up as a go through my Transformers builds. Added the new Drawback suite and tightened up some powers.

I had Scorponok on my clean up list before I got the idea for him and Mr. Incredible to rumble. Watching that original movie again, he really had some cool moments, especially the scene above. Scary cool.

[Thorpacolypse]

The idea of a Mr. Incredible/Scorpinok fight is much too good to pass up Thorp. Maybe another story built on the the Incredibles movie, replacing the tri-pod robots with Decepticons?

Also, is there any chance you could build the orginal Megatron or his Beast Wars incarnation? Giant guns and dinosaurs, what more can you ask for?

That was a spur of the moment thought as I was posting, but it does have merit. I'm not running any fights though, until I hit 1000 builds (from me, the Mart overall is pushing 1500). Seeing as how I am reworking the same builds over and over, that may be next year , but I'm pretty sure I'm at 965 with several done and ready to be posted so if I keep up at the 2-3 new build a day pace I've been on this week, I should hit 1000 soon. THEN I plan on several fights, this one included.

I can probably work up the original Megatron sometime but I'm not familiar with his Beast Wars incarnation. I'll see what the Wikis hold.

We always have work for the master of PL20+ building. Let your heart be your guide as far as posting whatever you want. If I think of something, or get a request for something, I'll pass it along.

Abilities 44 + Skills 12 (48 ranks) + Feats 22 + Powers 50 + Combat 26 + Saves 7 – Drawbacks -6 = 155 / 155

Comments: These ladies should be fun to run against the big boys. I built Arcee and her sisters to function as a unit, with a mental link for a hive mind type of mentality and Teamwork, Set Up, Acrobatic Bluff and Improved Defense to make them all fantastic decoys/pests and allowing a big hitter like Ironhide or Optimus to lay a nasty smack on someone.

It never really says who the third autobot cycle girl is after Arcee and Chromia so I went with Moonracer. It could be Elita-1 I guess, but Moonracer is a cooler name IMHO.

Comments: Mixmaster didn’t have a big role in ROTF, but I really like his name, so he gets some run here at J-Mart. And OK, he didn't really show that Shield power that I put in with his mixer panels but that sure seems like something he should be able to do!

But I may go back and trim some feats for a couple more ranks of super strength if I playtest and he doesn't perform very well.

You know what, O, after thinking more about it I went back and upped Bob's super strength a couple of ranks, giving him a lifting strength of 60 now. So know he can lift a locomotive like he did in the movie without a power stunt. Thanks for the catch.

Comments: Bonecrusher got pwned by Optimus Prime in the first movie, but his transform and takeout of that bus rollerblading style was pretty freakin’ cool. That was actually the trailer that sold me on seeing the first movie in the first place, even though I swore up and down that I wouldn't. Now I am total Transformers movie franchise mark and I am probably even going to go see that other 80's toy franchise movie, G.I. Joe.

*Sigh* Nothing hurts more than realized that you ARE the lowest common demoninator...

One other thing. You may note the Favored Environment feat for him and also being added to the other recent Transformers builds I've done. I did that because I always prefer to take the penalty for attack/defense for Growth. But I thought when the 'bots actually fought against each other, they deserved their full PL caps. So I finagled with that Favored Environment feat to allow them to do that. It's iffy, but I figure I'll be GM-ing myself if I run these builds so I'll allow it.

Comments: Here’s my take on Ratchet. I went to town on him as far as support skills go, gives him ranks in craft electronic and mechanical, as well as medicine AND the Healing power, only because I wasn’t quite sure which to go given the nature of his patients (machines, yet living beings, hard to define per the rules in my mind). Plus, I every good super team needs a tech guy, and Ratchet seems to fit the bill.

He is no slouch in combat by any means, and his Teamwork ranks allow him to give serious help to Ironhide and Optimus in battle, such in the movie where he Ironhide and Jazz took down Brawl with some nifty teamwork.

Clean Up 7/13/2009: Ratchet gets a remodel as I continue my current obsession with the Transformers. Trimmed a lot of fat and made him more dangerous in combat.

Ratchet didn't get much screen time in ROTF but then again, since they were trying to work so many characters in, most of the 'bots saw spot duty only outside of the big guns and Bumblebee. But at least he gets an update and a shiny new pic here, which should be some small consolation to him.
