Of course, it'd make sense superbots like Optimus would be a lot tougher than a transformer like Jolt. I mean, he fought against Megatron, Starscream and Blackout all at once, and was winning. At least until Megatron, well, you know.

Presumably, Band Kannon called for help when he was attacked, so I transform into my vehicle form and speed off towards his position. I just hope I can get there in time, it sounds like he's in some serious trouble.

Quickly transform into vehichle form and try to get to where Band Kannon is.

Regarding the hacking abilities, do I have any that can be used in battle?

You could probably hack the human's intelligence networks, but not much can be done against a fellow Transformer.

Damn, at least I can fly AND have ranged ability, Jolt can't fly, so.....

Still, it opens up possibilities for hacking into and gaining control of human military vehichles.

Defecting's possible in this game, right? I mean, it's not like I'm gonna do that anytime soon, if at all, but I'm just wondering.

Well, deflecting is a possibility in the sense of there are two rolls you need to succeed to actually hit.

First, there is the accuracy roll, which determines whether your blow even hits the other guy. This is affected by skills.

Second, there is the armor-piercing roll, which determines whether the shot gets in deep enough to hurt. This is not affected by skills, but situational bonuses and penalties (such as what happened to Band Kannon) can be applied.

Finally, there is a non-modified in any way roll that determines how much damage you do. 1 is negligible, 6 is nearly fatal for all but the most powerful Transformers.

He said defection, not deflection.

Ohhhhhh.

Yes, defecting is possible. Optimus would love new recruits. But keep in mind that after one betrayal, Megatron's not likely to take you back.

Gleefully transform into helicopter and fly up to scout the area.

Also, I'll bet cartoon/Beast Wars Megatron would take back traitors. Well, coup traitors, maybe defections were completely out of line.

Coincidentally, the Beast Wars Megatron was an entirely different Megatron, even within its own continuity. He just took up the mantle of his ancestor. The Michael Bay Megatron is a much larger bastard, and even when he's being completely faithful and competent treats Starscream the way a drunken Irishman treats his wife.

Rescan colours so I'm a deep blue color, then go and help my team by hitting a hamp, transforming in midair, then tackling Jolt. Then come up with some bad speed limit joke.

Turn 3: The Cavalry!

Quote from: Realmfighter
RUN AWAY. SHOOT IF POSSIBLE. MAYBE REPAIR MYSELF.
[4+1][5][4][5] You were caught off guard by this Autobot's silly attempt at victory, but now you're going to show him what it means to be a Decepticon. The night sky is thoroughly brightened by your burst of shells, demolishing most of the block around you. A single shot hits Jolt square in his shoulder, knocking off the plating and sending him crashing into a nearby house. He rises quickly, cursing to himself, only to find that you have hidden yourself amongst the wreckage. You are hidden from his view but you haven't escaped. And he knows it... (+1 to Blaster Use. Level gained!)

Quote from: dragnar
I modify my wrist blades into one larger sword. If I'm not allowed to do that: Test my weapons on random things that happen to get in my way.
[6] You carefully detach your wrist blades, combining their components to make a single sword. It should prove quite useful in combat, but you can't be sure. Therefore, you test it out on a few nearby cars. After a slash or two you realize that yes, it is VERY useful. (+1 to Repair, level gained!)

Quote from: smjjames
Quickly transform into vehichle form and try to get to where Band Kannon is.
[2] You transform into your new copter form, taking high to the skies in an attempt to locate your comrade. However, Shadow's display creates a light show nearly as large as Band Kannon's, and you are unsure which explosion is which.

Quote from: Nimitz
Presumably, Band Kannon called for help when he was attacked, so I transform into my vehicle form and speed off towards his position. I just hope I can get there in time, it sounds like he's in some serious trouble.
[5] Your vehicle mode gives you enough armor to head straight through buildings, which you do posthaste. In a matter of moments you have reached the block where Band Kannon engaged the Autobot, but Jolt is the only one you see. You assume that your comrade is hiding, as Jolt appears to be searching for him. Therefore you shoot him. [3+1][1] You quickly transform to catch his attention, and fire a barrage of grenades at him. Unfortunately he shrugs them off as if there were spitballs, and turns his lashes in your direction. (Level Gained: Vehicle Use)

Quote from: IronyOwl
Gleefully transform into helicopter and fly up to scout the area.
[6] Without hesitation you take to the skies and search the area, soon discovering everything that Shadow had already noticed. But from your vantage point you notice something extra: A column of tanks is exiting the air base. Seems that Autobot has friends...(Level Gained: Vehicle Use)

Quote from: ExKirby
Rescan colours so I'm a deep blue color, then go and help my team by hitting a hamp, transforming in midair, then tackling Jolt. Then come up with some bad speed limit joke.
[4+1] As Jolt prepares to take on Thundercrash, a blue sports car comes flying from the woodwork, transforming into a bot about his size. [4][5][4] Your wrist blades dig into Jolt's shoulder wound, causing even further damage to him. As he turns to swat you away you twist your blade just a bit deeper, then leap behind his back. The Autobot is in trouble now. (Level gained: Melee Weapons)

Autobot Actions:

Quote from: Jolt
Fight and Flee
Jolt was caught off guard. He didn't expect this many Decepticons in a single town. They must be after... uh oh.
[4+1][6][4] With a quick snap, his electric whip snaps A. Omega across the face, burning away some of the plating. As he clutches his eyes in pain, Jolt gives a quick one-finger salute.

"Thanks for the fun, guys, but looks like you're trying to catch me in a trap. Let me just tell you, you're not getting it until I'm a hunk of scrap!"

[1] He transforms, and attempts to flee the scene. As he passes by, however, Band Kannon leaps from his hiding place, knocking the Autobot into the rubble from the school. He has nowhere to run now. (Level Gained: Melee Weapons!)
