XeroKhan, meet Spectrum
Spectrum, meet XeroKhan

Go.

[XeroKhan]

Neat. Also, is Spectrum (the bike) an EXTREMELY-COMMON male or the ULTRA-RARE female Transformer?

[Spectrum]

Cool! I'll do the stat out tonight and collect the various pieces of fiction I've been putting together.

Arcee (X means experimental, similar to real world fighter prototypes) isn't technically a transformer but is instead entirely a Stark creation. Similar to the original Arcee, I was picturing the voice to be female, much like a GPS unit. However, I'm flexible on that point.

[Bladewind]

Spectrum,

How do you envision this working?

Will Xero be in control when suited up? Will Arcee simply advise?
I would honestly not be as open to this concept in tabletop...

[Spectrum]

Sorry- I have a bad habit of answering around a question without actually addressing it head on and not noticing it.

Largely, Arcee would be in an advisory role rather than more active.

In motorcycle form, would be capable of some independent motion, but would still take commands from it's pilot (think like a very smart and stubbornhorse).

In humanoid form, she couldn't transform without the armor to attach to. It would be in an advisory role, lots of teamwork bonuses with some limited control over weapon systems. Probably the same way if I can manage the points to make a team WAN.

Stats wise, I was thinking having many points added into things that could increase the power of the pilot, some weapon systems and some stealth/intelligence/communications powers, like the WAN above.

On the same note, what do you see as being the relationship between Stark and the Autobots (and their leadership)> A general list of the factions and their relationships would be handy.

[Plan B]

@Plan B - So... can I convince you to go with Growth? Not required. Just a thought. Your complications suffer from the same lack of frequency effect I mentioned for Kirinke.

I doult you could, i don't like growth and think having the physically powerful member of the team been one of the smallest is funny.

And i have hard time with complications, i mostly don't see a point to them.

[Bladewind]

@Plan B

That`s no problem. I was just curious and thought I`d ask.
I have to agree on the image that it generates of the mouse bencing an elephant...

As for complications, I can see your point. They are useful for things like gaing HP... with your strength and the setting I can see the occasional use of extra effort to toss the really big bots...

Nicely done. Coordinate with Xero. He gets some points back because you`re paying for the bike... PM or on the thread is good for me, just keep me posted of the final versions.

As for the above question... that will come up in game, and you`ll have the ability to ask questions. Since some characters are not Autobots, I will be open to having the NPCs ask certain questions for you - either PM me or post a note here when its time.

I think i can throw anyone whos not tripticon or metroplex anyway.

Okay, on a more immediate personal level- how paranoid is Stark against SG1 and the Autobots- would he go out of his way to have work arounds for those 'issues'?

[Bladewind]

Well, Stark developped his armour (obviously) independant of Cybertroninan influence. Assume that accusations that he reverse engineered Cybertronian tech for all his stuff is vehemently and immediately denied.

However, his company was contracted to deal with NBE-1... as such back in the day, Stark Industries was involved in Project Ghost-1...

Tony cannot deny Cybertronian influence in his work, but the Arc Reactor is all his design.

That said, any tech he will provide will have failsafes.

Does that help?

[Mr.Sandman]

Any advice on apollo?

[Spectrum]

Bladewind- thank you for the additional information. While it doesn't answer all the questions, it does lead some interesting other questions...

I look forward to seeing more on how the different continuities interweave.
