Unsurprisingly, Grodd owes much of his existence statwise to the sinister simian archetype, albiet altered towards being a psionic supergenius

in a fight, grodd like to break out the Pain power, and subdue his foes, but isn't above mind controlling hordes of civilians either. nor is he averse to beating people to death with his bare paws, or just pulling out a gun and shooting them

gentlemen, bow down in worship, for I present to you a god amongst insects

in a nutshell, brock is designed to kill anything and everything that moves, either very slow and painfully, or very fast and painfully

in designing Brock, I was sorely tempted to build his knife as a device, but decided to just make it equipment, because brock is just that darn good

please note brock's complications. if molotov is involved, then brock gets 3 HP (mol is his rival, he wants to have sex with mol, and she keeps him from his responsibilities), meaning it's going to be a very bad day for whoever attacks him in the next couple hours

[Mike5000us]

WOW nice BROCK and Professor X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice Brock! Now I need to make one of my own...

[Kreuzritter]

why thank you. brock'd been on my to-do list for some time, but I wasn't ready until I statted up rick and got the feel for brock (thus why he and brock share the fighting style of "Killing the living $*(&% out of everything")

[D.Shaffer]

The Swedish Murder Machine. I always loved that line.

I think he can probably use a couple ranks or so of Rage too. It would cover the 'twitchy eye' moments you see now and then.

the deadliest foe of Aquaman, and one of dc's most unforgivable villains, depicted here in his JLU incarnation, which for legal reasons was dubbed Devil Ray

so, as you can guess, BM's designed from the basis of FC's devil ray, but playing more towards a supervillain mercenary than the subsea scrounger

heroic leader of the maximals, Primal's a cybernetic mix of gorilla and battlesuit, built more towards blasting away than close combat

this of course depicts primal if using his season 1 stats, and dropped into a modern setting. if playing things straight, then tack on a -4 involuntary transformation (energon build up requires him to convert to beast mode, or risk burning out his systems) for season 1, then -2 for seasons 2 or 3 (couple hours, once a day or two)

for future builds, I might be returning to stat up his beast machines configuration

Cower in fear, For now you must deal with the malevolent menace of the Mighty Monarch! depicted here sometime after the events of "Hate Floats"

despite appearances to the contrary, The Monarch is actually pretty dangerous for the VB world, because while he folds like a card table in a fight, it's his charisma and leadership qualities that make him a tthreat.

and yes, as monarch is becoming one of the show's protagonists, he gets the HP from complications

I like the Optimus Primal write-up. I noticed that you didn't add any powers for transformation. I saw the Drawback for Involuntary Transformation.. is that how you cover the transformation?

[Kreuzritter]

primal's transform is his normal identity drawback, which basicly cancels out all powers but growth, due to the fact that his alternate form is a gorilla body. I included notes for adding involuntary transformation, if you wanted to recreate the "house rules" lain down by the show, in which case the involuntary change can be resisted or even ignored, but you make a fort save the following round to avoid Stasis Lock (going unconscious).

when I get to Primal v.4.0, it will be normal identy and involuntary change, the latter of which can be resisted via concentration check
