Convoy V: Autobots, ROLL OUT!

[Lex-Kat]

Convoy V: Autobots, ROLL OUT!

Narrators: Lex-kat

The Decepticons have infiltrated the Autobots using a new invention, the Deceptor Pulse Ray.

But before Optimus can uncover who truly is an Autobot, there is an emergency call.

Will Prime be able to find the Decepticons before it's too late, or will the Decepticons finally get the upper hand on the Autobots?

And what about the recent Go-Bot activity? Will they be able to make a come-back?

For those who wish to Roleplay, here are listings of Generation 1 Autobots, Decepticons, and Go-Bots.

Or, if you wish, you can create your own characters. Just specify which side they're on.

Rules:

Spoiler

Show

NO 25% majority rule: That's right, another game without the 25% rule.

Tie Votes: For this game, Tie votes will result in No Lynch result.

Banes: If a player is Day or Night Baned, it will result in a No Lynch.

Striking Through Votes: Please strike out old votes, when changing to another. This helps out the narrators when counting the votes. When I tally the votes, if you do not do this, I will count your first vote.

Autolynches: We will be autolynching players only if they do not point for 3 days straight. Of course, if you let me know that you will be gone for more than a week, we will give you a pass.

Helgraf's Scry Interference: If two characters with a scry ability look at the same player, both will get "Interference" as a result.

FC's Rule of Narrator Invocation: If you claim that the Narrator made a mistake, and the Narrator is asked about it, the Narrator will answer honestly. So don't use the Narrator's name in vain.

Have Fun: If you are not having fun, please let me know so we can change your mind.

[Gray Mage]

A transformers themed WW? Narrated by Lex? Yeah, count me in.

Edit: How does megaton's ability works? Is it said his role or do the first lynch results in a no lynch? And what does the cassettes do?

[Deathslayer7]

oh yeaaaaaa!

[Ramsus]

I'm in! (And now to read the rules.) And I will be playing as......Dinobot. Cuz...yeah, why should I even attempt to fit in?

[billtodamax]

Count me in!

[Vwulf DeMarcus]

Okay, I definitely have to be in this one. In!

[Zjoot]

In. And this sentence is to appease the 10 character minimum.

[Grue Bait]

I'll join this.

[bladescape]

Transformers? Well, it should be clear
That a robot fan you have over here,

And when it's Gen 1 in play,
'Even more in' I would say,

Ironhide or Optimus Prime,
Starscream, and no-one can rhyme,

But who would I like best, you ask?
Why--

Wait.... No Grimlock? Grimlock KING!

And Hotrod, and Arcee, and Springer, and Ultra Magnus, and... and... and... and...

Eh, I'm in anyways.

[Lemonus]

Yes. I'm in. No telling me otherwise.

[Lex-Kat]

How does Megaton's ability works? Is it said his role or do the first lynch results in a no lynch?

It will result in a No Lynch. The player's role will not be revealed.

And what does the cassettes do?

The cassettes mentioned are Laserbeak, Frenzy, and Ravage. I'll edit the Roles to make that clear.

[TsukikoJ]

In please 10 characters

[Penguinator]

"Why did you name your Golem Autobots?" "Here." Autobots used Rollout! "Oh... I see."

Joining.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Totally in.

Heh, if I had some sort of plan I'd say I'd play as Longarm, Autobot Intelligence.

And I will be playing as......Dinobot. Cuz...yeah, why should I even attempt to fit in?

So, since we're working around Megatron Classic and Soundwave and Starscream and all sorts of people are still alive, how we gonna work your renegade Predacon butt into this mess, Chopperface? Time Rift? Death's Head? Space Bridge accident? Just go with basic Transwarp technology? Pulled out of the Allspark to fulfill a purpose that only Primus knows and he ain't telling?

Ooooh, this is exciting! _{Let's see, pre-Earth Dinobot was a man-sized excavator, so it's unlikely he went by Dinobot before the theft of the Golden Disk, so we can't cheat our way around like that. Gotta be time travel. Transwarp goes through time, it's how he ended up on prehistoric Earth in the first place.}

Ooh! Ooh! Take my Dinobot avatar!

[Lex-Kat]

I thought he was talking about Slag, Snarl, Sludge, Grimlock, or maybe Swoop.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

His lack of an 'a' (as in 'a Dinobot') and his statement that he wasn't fitting in implies he's referring to the honour-bound Beast Wars character with the wavering allegience. Sorry.

[The Bushranger]

In, as a certain F-22 based Decepticon. >_>

[bladescape]

Talking of that, I'm going to be Cup.

[Ramsus]

Fullbladder, thanks for the avatar, I'll switch to it once the game starts (assuming I remember).

I hadn't thought much about how he fit in (chronologically) as I basically just picked one of the few characters I could remember that wasn't an actual role. You've already demonstrated more knowledge of the character (and story) than I remember (watching Transformers was a long time ago, when I was very young, not something I did often and my memory isn't all the great). If you'd like to provide RP tips it'd be much appreciated (and is the Shakespeare thing an actual thing or is the Wiki just screwing around?).

Edit: I did remember the whole side switching thing which is why I chose him (I like to be able to mentally justify my side and RP character if possible).

Edit 2: I mean....aside from just wanting to be a character from Beast Wars just to be confusingly out of place. "So what have we here? Car, car, jet, truck, car, helicopter, boombox, velociraptor, car, another jet....wait... velociraptor? Really?"

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

The TFWiki's captions exaggerate wildly, as they always do. Dinobot makes a few Hamlet references throughout the show, and it's been long enough since I saw more than a few episodes that the wiki isn't being very helpful to me for finding specifics. Anyway, he tends to soliloquise in a Shakespearian manner, and paraphrases or outright quotes Hamlet (and it's always Hamlet) several times, most notably when he's dying.

Man, don't ask me for RP advice. I dunno. Having him in this game, where he'd have to be out of his natural timeline amongst his much larger ancestors, he'd be in a similiar situation to his character arc in Beast Wars, essentially a Free Will debate. Are my actions pre-ordained, or am I the master of my destiny? He wouldn't moan about it to Ratchet or somebody, of course. He keeps up this stoicness around the Maximals and soliloquises about Fate when he's alone.

That's assuming he's been torn from his own time to sometime in the past from the Maxi/Pred perspective. He could just be the angry, honour-bound warrior who makes his opinions clear, which is probably the face he'd turn to the situation anyway. He'd accept strong authority and openly try to bring down an authority he feels is too weak for the job, in true Predacon fashion.

Also: as long as people don't all go for the Big Name Super Popular Characters, there could be lots of interesting alt modes in play. The Seacons, the Monsterbots, heck there could be Pretenders or Headmasters in this, it'd be a cornacopia of wierdness. Cities! Turtles! Skeleton Monster Things! Music Cassettes! Octopode-esque Things! Guns! The Heads of Other Robots!

[TigerFang]

Most definitely in. I'll decide on who or what to rp after the game starts.

[Ramsus]

Thanks, that at least helps me not do things majorly out of character (and probably saves me having to make a bunch of Hamlet quotes).

[Lex-Kat]

Just for clarification, I know nothing about Transformers after Generation 1.

This isn't to say you can't RP other versions. Just letting it be known.

[cd4]

I will join this game.

Though I have a small problem, with Megatron's no-lynch and no other way of having a no-lynch as far as I can see then as soon as someone is no-lynched, we know we have found Megatron.

Also what happens if someone tries to night kill Megatron before he is lynched?

Also how does Ravager protect Soundwave?

What happens if Soundwave is killed before all the cassettes are released?

[Trixie]

...in

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

i will assume the mantle of player! Then I shall put things on the mantle because thats what mantles are for.

[Helgraf]

I'm in as Crasher ... coz, you know ... I can.

I was doin' it before it was cool.

Or ... hmmm ... RatBat ... the most effective decepticon of all...

decisions ...

In, either way.

[RuneboundShade]

Ooooh!!! Oooooh!!!!
Transformers gen 1..... plus go-bots, but still transformers gen 1!!!!!!
Me is in!!!!!:D

[Lemonus]

"Why did you name your Golem Autobots?" "Here." Autobots used Rollout! "Oh... I see."

Joining.

Can I sig this?

[Internet Flea]

i will assume the mantle of player! Then I shall put things on the mantle because thats what mantles are for.

That's silly! Everyone knows mantles are for increasing your evasion stats.

In, as a man with a screwdriver.
