Special Teams.
Hey all
We talked, when the RPG first started to get going, about special teams. The idea of a group of TF's who are sent out on missions based on their unique specializations.
Having talked this over with Warcry, I'm starting up 2 (ok, well 1 atm, 1 more when we get down to Earth).
So:
Fortress Maximus wants YOU!
This is a team of TF's who's job is to rescue wounded soldiers and perform rear-guard military action. They are not front-line combat troops - but instead special forces who's job is to make sure everyone gets home safe and that the civilians are evacuated. Their home base (surprise, surprise) is the Maximus Class Battleship under the command of Fortress.
And, just to make their lives interesting, Fortress Maximus despises Prowl and Sentinel.
Earth:
Ginrai's Black Ops Team. Looking for a few good Autobots with limited Moral Compunctions about terminating Decepticon Sparks or destroying their tactical assets. The enemy does not need to be in combat for them to be subject to... removal if they pose a problem or get in the way (or happen to be in a base that's about to explode). They will not hurt civilians or non-combatants... but if you wear a Purple logo... you're fair game.
If either of these groups interest you, let me know - I'm hoping to get going with Fort Max in the very near future.

Wheeljack might join the ranks. He's not a front-line fighter. It'll depend on how the storyline progresses though.Fortress Maximus wants YOU!

Oh, I like the idea of joining these special teams, particularly the Black Ops one. I've always wanted to play Getaway and this looks like a great way of introducing him into the game. Repugnus, too, I might as well say.
Maybe I should drop a few Combaticons (just keep Vortex, perhaps?) to make room for those guys...
Ugh. Choosing characters is the hardest part of the game. Well, for me it is. lol

Like I said via PM, Smokescreen will spend at least some of his time following Ginrai around and psychoanalyzing him, so you can expect him to hang out with that team at least some of the time.
Me too. I could fill two or three more rosters with characters I want to play but don't have room for. Skydive, Spinister, Trypticon, Bluestreak, Hubcap, Bulkhead, Cosmos, Shockwave, Chop Shop, Lightspeed, Hardhead, Searchlight, Grotusque, Guzzle, Getaway, Sparkstalker, Beast Wars Silverbolt, Waspinator and Sky Shadow, Dai Atlas, Goldbug...more too that don't come to mind right now, I'm sure.Shine wrote:Ugh.

The only thing I have going for me in that respect is that I'm looking at the same pool of characters. It isn't the biggest one, which is good, but by golly it is hard to pick!Warcry wrote:Me too.

Out of that list of yours, Warcry, I'd like to see Chop Shop, Skydive and Sparkstalker. Yeah... You should definitely take one of them. ;P

Prowl and Jazz doing the interviews... Should be funBlackjack wrote:Prowl wants YOU
For a Black Ops Team. Guaranteed moral compunctions, off-the-book missions and disowning if discovered.
If interested, apply to Jazz this evening in room L101. Your attendance will be appreciated.
I doubt Prowl is going to share his motivations with Ratchet, let alone anybody for that matter and so far, my impression of Smokescreen is that he is only interested in him.If Ratchet is going to join Fort Max, I want him to do it out of disgust of Prowl's actions, such as him useing Smokescreen to use Ginrai.
Brave Max: Fort Max's team still operates under the Prime right? Or do you intent to create a seperate faction of Autobots that doesn't answer to the Prime?
Prowl isn't using Smokescreen to use Ginrai... Ginrai, Prowl thinks he's unstable and won't think of using him... yet. Until he's spoken personally to Ginrai, anyway. Using Smokescreen to use Omega Supreme, on the other hand...
@Brave: ready for Project M? After the conversation about Omega Supreme and the interrogation with Ginrai, Prowl will be contacting you-know-who.

Nah, not going to do that... that's just silly!!!
Yes, Fort Max's team will still be part of the Autobot command system. That being said... He doesn't like Sentinel or Prowl... so he has no issues telling them to shove it up their... exaust ports...
They'll operate with a certian level of Autonomy - but with a high level of dedication - they go into the worst areas to get Autobots home safe.

I don't know why I didn't reply to this part the other day, so I better do it now. Otherwise I might have another dumb moment and forget...
If it's possible, can Hot Spot be included in Fort Max's team?
This sounds like it would be right up Hot Spot's alley. There seems to be a perfect mix of action and search and rescue tasks befitting his character.Brave Maximus wrote:Fortress Maximus wants YOU!

Of course: Actually need some combat soldiers
So far for Fort's team:
Fortress Maximus
Ratchet
Wheeljack
Hot Spot
I'd love one or two heavy combat guys to fill out the ranks
I don't want to pull Hytherion into it, if I don't have to.
On Earth, Fort won't be too active himself, so it'll be up to the team to do the rescuing...

Forts team will be most active on Cybertron (at least with Fortress) - so s/he's more than welcome to join in LQS.Lady Quick Switch wrote:If "Incision" makes it to Earth as an Autobot he'll join Fort Max's team as well.

If it helps any, Getaway's a 'Bot I've been toying around with. I'd say he'd make an excellent addition to Fort Max's team.
EDIT: ScreamerFan's playing Blades and Streewise. And since we have the Protectobots (well, a few of them) in the game, I'm sure he'd like to add his two to Max's team. But I haven't seen him around for a little while.
