[OOC] Savage Beast Wars

Fair point.

Looking for feedback:

Sideways

Name: Sideways
Faction: Predacon Maximal Yes
Protoform: Spy bot

Sideways is one of Megatron's spies. He is presently posing as a maximal within the ship's ranks as a sleeper agent, ready to be activated in case Megatron needed a new ship. Likewise, he is gathering intelligence on the other predacons, looking for any weeds to root out.

Beast Mode: Chryssalid

Sideways transforms into a terrifying insect form, with four sharp claws for legs and mandibles with a powerful bite. As a spy bot, his armor is quite pathetic, however his speed is only trumped by fliers, and he can easily burrow underground.

Personality:

Determined - Loyal - Cunning - Brutal - Snarky - Has hard time making decisions

Background:

Sideways' background is shrouded in mystery. It is not known if he is even originally cybertronian, having crashed in Kaon with his ship from outter space. Whether he has left cyebertron long time ago or originates somewhere else even he does not know, due to amnesia caused by the aforementioned crash landing. Strangely, he possessed a beast alternate mode from the get go, although the beast is nothing like any lifeform on either cybertron or the planet where the ship crashed, suggesting it was obtained on another planet on his travels.

In the original Beast Wars, the cybertronians had to take beast forms because it protected them from 'energon radiation' or something. Is that going to be what prompts our characters to take on beast forms as well?

[Forsythe]

With the local fauna being basically the zerg, I think survival alone will be good enough incentive xD

@Stern Algorithm

Though it's canon-icity is dubious, Beast Machines (the follow up series) did portray/suggest that there was some precedent for Beast Modes- a new character introduced in the first season of that series had been the only survivor of another exploration mission, and fallen into similar circumstance (stranded on a planet and unable to remain in bot mode indefinitely). However, the lifeforms were exclusively plants, even the ones that run around and behave in animal like ways.

So, I guess it's not that hard to imagine, but it wasn't common.

Hmmm... Could be interesting

Edit: the link for your beast mode doesn't seem to be working? the link works, but the image doesn't actually appear

[RickyG85]

I'm going to give everyone a little more time for a post-crash response, but making Sunday my deadline: Next post will be up before Monday, does that work for everyone?

[RickyG85]

@Forsythe

I don't recall if I approved this character, so this character is approved!

[Stern Algorithm]

Can we assume there are other survivors on the maximal ship, or is it just Einhorn, Nautica, and Septishock?

[RickyG85]

Hmmm... I hadn't thought about that, I'll consider it and decide that asap

[Forsythe]

*meanwhile Sideways stuck in a stasis pod* xD I say let some survive as cannon fodder at least xD

[RickyG85]

Funny you mention that, it's something I immediately thought of XD

@Stern Algorithm
