Fandom Transformers: Into Infinity

Lost Martian

Get in the robot!
Once there was peace on the planet Cybertron, until a falling out between two friends led to a Great Civil War. Optimus Prime and his Autobots would wage battle against Megatron and his Decepticons. The war would last long enough that all resources were used up on Cybertron. With no other options the Autobots would leave the planet in Arks, massive ships meant to find new homes for them. Megatron would pursue Optimus’s Ark in his own ship.

The two would get into a firefight over the primitive planet Earth, both ships eventually crashing down on said planet. The Cybertronians would then go into stasis, remaining so until 1984 when a volcanic eruption reawakened them. They would immediately continue their war on Earth, the governments of the planet eventually allying with the Autobots.

After several years of fighting, the Decepticons would be pushed off Earth, Optimus Prime leading a crusade through space. This would lead to a final battle between Optimus and Megatron that resulted in both of them disappearing. It wouldn’t be too long after this that the Decepticons surrendered. Now in a period of peace, the Autobots would try and make reparations to the various species impacted by the war. To this end they would build Autobot City on Earth, a place of unity for Cybertronians and Humans. It would be from Autobot City that a ship crewed by Autobots and Humans would depart, given the mission of trying to find out what happened to Optimus Prime.






Hello everyone, I’m Lost Martian and this is an idea I had rattling about in my brain for awhile now. So clearly it’s a Transformers roleplay, but rather than be about the Great War, it is set in an era of peace, possibly leading to a new Golden Era for the Cybertronians. This will be a much more optimistic story, focusing more on adventure and discovery than the horrors of war and such other stuff that is sometimes depicted in Transformers media.

The setting itself is an alternate universe, mostly based on Generation One but also taking elements from other continuities and some original stuff. It will be set in 2024, though with more advanced tech as the Cybertronians have been active on Earth for forty years. As for characters, of which I’m going to allow three max per player, you can play as an Autobot, Human, or both, though I’m only allowing original characters. As far as playing a Transformer, I ask that you keep your alternate mode to a vehicle or animal, triple changers are allowed, but no combiners.

Every character will be a crew member of a ship leaving Autobot City on Earth, given the mission of finding Optimus Prime who has been missing ever since his final fight with Megatron. This will be a star spanning adventure in which we visit new planets looking for the missing Prime, encountering both things from Transformers lore as well as original creations.

So if anyone is interested in this, please leave a message. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about characters or setting, as well as collaborating on possible plot points. I’m really excited for this idea and would love to see it become a great roleplay.
 
Oooh, tentative interest not because of the premise but because summer is trying to eat me xD
 
I've been hungering for a Transformers roleplay for years now and this might scratch the insufferable itch in my brain, count me in!

Glad to see that you guys are interested. Do you have any character concepts in mind, such as whether you would want to play a Transformer, Human, or both? Also if you plan on playing a Transformer, do you have any alternate modes in mind?
I can play both human and Transformer personally! As for Transformers can they be canon, OC, or both?
 
I mentioned in the opening post that I'm only looking for original characters for the players in this roleplay. However that doesn't mean that the Canon characters aren't around, you just won't be playing them.
 
Ah understood. I van vibe with with that! I have an old oc named Grandcloud that could transforms into a Su47-Berkut
 
Ooh epic. Lemme make some breakfast and I can give you the rundown of my current Idea (subject to change)
 
Food acquired

So current thought is a previous-decepticon (defected to Autobot 2 years before the war ended) and his human ambassador/liaison/"no actually that's not a threat he's just Like That". They got swept up in this Whole Situation when they were like. 9-10-ish, and their entire purpose in the decepticon ranks was as a bargaining chip to prevent Jettison (aforementioned bot) from doing such things as disobeying orders. So they spent 3-4-ish years kinda just stuck with the cybertronians (first decepticons then with the autobots before Jettison managed to properly defect but after he'd started realizing "hey actually what are the decepticons even doing")

I imagine the human (which name I'm going to use still pending) wasn't really important per se, they were just kinda. There and occasionally contributed something (think like. The Prime-team humans moreso than the comic run humans)

For Jettison, I'm thinking he's a triple changer but maybe not? Alt is a F-111 Ardvaark, and if he does end up a triple changer I think it'd be really funny if his other alt is a barely-street-legal-it's-so-big RV. Also debating the concept of making him a kinda. mid-war experiment, but that would require GM approval to add like. A whole lotta lore for this continuity's terrorcons (also think Prime)
 
Very sorry about disappearing, I had a major real life issue come up that took up all my time. It’s mostly been resolved now, so I’m ready to return to roleplaying. As such I would love to get this off the ground if you guys are still interested.

Kameron Esters- Kameron Esters-
Grandcloud’s alternate mode is perfectly fine. Is there any other ideas you have about the character, like maybe what their role on the ship (which I’m calling the Odyssey) would be?

ScatheAriiasqDrayceon ScatheAriiasqDrayceon
Jettison would work as a Decepticon who defected to the Autobots before the war ended. I’m thinking that Decepticons who did such before the war ended would be held in higher regard than those who joined the Autobots post-war. Also I said that triple changers are fine, so a jet and RV alternate mode would be acceptable. As for being a mid-war experiment, I’d need more information about what you were thinking, so you could either post it here or PM me if you want to keep it a secret. Also I haven’t watched much of Prime, as I stopped regularly watching Transformers after the end of the Unicron Trilogy, only getting back into it with the comics. As for your human character, I like the concept, though I think we should age them up some years so that they would be at least 18 by the time they’re a member of the crew of the Odyssey. Also they would need a role aboard the ship, so maybe they’re part of the human diplomatic crew as they’ve had many years working with aliens (the Cybertronians). What do you think about that idea?

As for my characters, I was planning to have the captain of the Odyssey, who would become a car or truck of some kind, a human government official overseeing the mission, and some kind of grizzled warrior who transforms into an animal (I haven’t decided on one yet).

Also this is still definitely open to anyone else who likes Transformers. We’ll be forging our own continuity, so even those with minimal knowledge about the franchise will find it easy to jump in.
 
I can totally age them up a couple months. They were going to be late 17 anyway (I liked the idea of them being very obviously young and inexperienced with things and stuff like being a person) and to avoid clogging up the interest check, I'll DM you the concept, cause it's kinda. Long

Human-goober was gonna be a diplomat of sorts anyway, so that works for me!
 
I'm thinking that Grandcloud could be the navigator or the mechanic given he's a seeker and all lol
 
This looks super cool! Are you still accepting applications?
 
ScatheAriiasqDrayceon ScatheAriiasqDrayceon
Glad that my ideas are alright. I’m going to go check for that PM now.

Kameron Esters- Kameron Esters-
Right now both navigator and engineer are open so you can decide on whichever one you think fits your character better.

Glad to see that you’re interested, and yes we are still accepting. Do you have any character concepts in mind, whether that be an old OC to dust off or a completely new character? We still have plenty of roles available on board the Odyssey.

Like I said, we are still accepting new players so don’t be afraid to post here with any interest or questions.

Glad to see more interest in this! Do you have any character concepts in mind?

And with that I’ll say we have enough interest for me to create the OOC and Characters threads, which should be up in a few days. Though that isn’t to say that we still aren’t accepting, as there is still plenty of room in this RP.

It's very heavily based on a YouTube video's SG Optimus. Is that fine?

The character I have in mind is an Autobot who holds an almost fanatical belief in Optimus Prime and designed his body in resemblance to Optimus — though it's a twisted belief. Think Tarn of the DJD, but an Autobot. He believes that some people's freedom gets in the way of other people's freedom, but is willing to tolerate those irresponsible with their freedom so long as they can bring back Optimus Prime.
 
Endu_Makyr Endu_Makyr
I could be down with a total Optimus fanboy/bordering on fanatic. I would imagine that among certain Autobots Optimus has an almost saint like reverence, especially the whole disappearing to end the war thing. As for the whole some freedoms get in the way of others freedoms, that could totally inform your character’s starting arc. Like he has that belief as we encounter aliens while looking for Optimus Prime, but then your character truly becomes more like Optimus, with the whole freedom is the right of all sentient beings.

As for everyone else, I am still working on the OOC and Character threads. Expect them sometime this weekend.

Alright apologies on the delay but I’ve finished the OOC and Characters thread (alongside my three characters). I appreciate everyone waiting, but you can now let your wild Transformers ideas run wild. The character sheets for both Autobots and Humans are in the OOC thread, but you’ll post your characters in the characters thread. Also reminding you that I’m allowing up to three characters each. If you have any questions, please let me know.

OOC Thread
Characters Thread
 
Bumping this. While I plan on posting the IC thread sometime this week, we are actually still accepting. We allow both Autobot and Human characters, of which you are allowed up to three. We are very canon lite right now so you can carve your own little part in this alternate Transformers universe. If you have any questions, please feel free to pop into the OOC thread and ask, as the link is in the post above this one.
