You've all been waiting so patiently, so here's your reward - the rules on character limits. Read these over, then make your claims below. I'll explain how the claiming process will work at the end of this post.

You may claim up to two normal TFs. "Normal" are those from the list above marked with a T, M, or VG. Of those, only one may be from the film (those marked with an M). You may also claim one Real Gear robot (those marked with an R) or one human. Characters currently listed as dead (except Megatron) are open for claim, but not all will be alive for the first week or two of the arc. Fan characters are allowed but discouraged at the present moment; a passable fanchar will need a full bio, detailed pictures of both modes, and staff approval. Examples of rosters:

OK
Bumblebee, Wreckage, Sam
Arcee, Shockwave, Longview

Not OK
Bumblebee, Blackout, Sam
Arcee, Shockwave, Wreckage

Claims made in the next three days will be subject to challenges. If someone else has already posted a claim for a character you want, you may still post a claim for him. On Monday I'll ask all players who've claimed the same character to submit PM applications explaining why they want and deserve that character, and then the staff will make decisions. You can expedite the process:

1) If you see a character you want has been claimed, consider taking somebody else. The fewer challenges we have to sort through, the sooner we can start;

2) If you're challenging a previous claim or if someone else has challenged you, you don't need to wait for me to PM you asking for your applications. Be proactive and get them to me ASAP so we can get them evaluated likewise.

After three days (Monday), all claims will be done in the traditional first-come-first-served method. Happy hunting.

So it's Monday. I've edited the list to reflect claims. If those few people I PMed could get back to me soon, I'd appreciate it.

We'll be kicking things off shortly. Stay tuned.

How unusual. I'll be keeping an eye on you, then - Judy Witwicky.

Not if you don't pay attention to the rules, you aren't.

The profile you posted (in the wrong thread...) is less than a quarter the length it should be, as you should have known from reading the other character profiles posted for either game. Likewise, you haven't given us any pictures and you didn't ask for permission.

So: request denied. But if you'd like to bulk up his profile to an acceptable size and give us pictures (or a really good verbal description, if you're art-challenged like me) of what he looks like in either mode, and send the lot to an RPG staff member in a PM, you might change our minds.

BlueSkids · Post by **BlueSkids** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:48 am

Hi.
I would claim Blackout and Payload.

secretcode · Post by **secretcode** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 8:36 pm

With me now in college, I'd like to relinquish all of my movie characters back to fair game.

Now G1, on the other hand, I'm keeping.

Clogs · Post by **Clogs** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 12:48 pm

Someone should be looking after the liddle doggie - he has issues, you know...

I hereby claim Mojo as an auxilliary character for Judy Witwicky to be taking care of while her son is absent! I'll timeshare with you, Brave Maximus, where appropriate, but I'm hoping to have Mojo make friends with Avalanche....

NB. I note there is no Ron Witwicky as yet, so I'm going to have him 'out of town' when I start playing Judy (hold on up - soon!) unless Ron is claimed, in which case, claimer please pm me so that we can set up - well - a set-up!
