Alby47"My name is Optimus Prime. You have been sent to this planet as advanced scouts for The Arc. Cybertrons last, best hope for survival. I cannot guarantee your safety, i cannot guarantee that what you find on this planets local wildlife to be accommodating, i cannot even guarantee that you will ever see our beloved Cybertron again, but what i can guarantee is that your mission is of utmost importance to all Cybertronians, a fighting chance at survival. Your mission will be to arrive, evaluate the locals and survey. You are not to message home, lest the Decepticons find the location of our new colony, you are to gather intelligence and await further orders until contacted. May Primus protect you."
The crux of this is going to be a "Kids on Bikes" Style RP where you all play as a bunch of kids living in a small city in England that one day, stumble upon some Autobots that have come to Earth after escaping The War on Cybertron in order to build a new colony that the Autobots can use to live in peace. You befriend these Robots who then disguise themselves as vehicles around the town and work with the kids to defeat Decepticons and other threats to this little city.
Pretty much, choose a transformer (Canon, reimagining of a canon character or OC) and a kid archetype. You get both of them.

So, i recently ran a short adventure for some friends using the Essence 20 Power Rangers game. It was only a short campaign inspired by Transformers Energon, but i kinda wanted to expand it into something of a full campaign:
Premise: You guys play as a bunch of teenagers who have been kidnapped from across time and space who have to save the entire time-space continuum as a Quintesson and its allies attempt to go back in time to prevent the destruction of Quintessa at the hands of Unicron. This will involve a lot of travelling across a lot of Hasbro properties as the bad guys know they are going to need some SERIOUS help in order to defeat the Planet Eating God of Darkness and Chaos. You will also get to play characters from all across the Power Rangers timeline, maybe a canon, maybe an OC. Either way, you'll get a new mentor and new powers to help you stop the bad guys.

We have been called criminals, but we are not. We are rebels, fighting for the people, fighting for you. I'm not that old, but I remember a time when things were better on Lothal. Maybe not great, but never like this. See what the Empire has done to your lives, your families, and your freedom? It's only gonna get worse…unless we stand up and fight back. It won't be easy. There will be loss and sacrifice. But we can't back down just because we're afraid. That's when we need to stand the tallest. That's what my parents taught me. That's what my new family helped me remember. Stand up together. Because that's when we're strongest... as one.
These words have rang out across the Empire, an unknown Rebel gave this speech and now the downtrodden and oppressed have began to stand up and resist the imperial jackboot at their necks. You are one of the many that has taken the call to resist.

Long ago the ancient world of Primus lived in harmony. King Greyskull ruled the kingdom of Eternos, Queen Light-Hope ruled the kingdom of Brightmoon and King Hsss ruled the lands of Snake Mountain. All was well, until a meteorite hit the Snake Kingdoms, a meteorite full of magic that seeped into the very soil and spread across Primus. Turns out that Primus' soil was the perfect conductor and stabilizer for this magic, as by the time it had reached Brightmoon and Eternos, it had turned from a corruptive green into a brilliant gold. This magic simply known as “The Power” was put to great use by Eternos and Brightmoon, creating vast magical wonders the likes of which Primus had never seen. But the original Meteor that carried the green magic was not able to stabilize in Snake Mountains soil, staying corruptive and driving the inhabitants into a frenzy. King Hsss at first beseached Light-Hope and Greyskull to help rid his land of this corruption. Light-Hope went to assist immediately, but Greyskull hesitated, not wanting the infection to spread to his people. By the time he did send anyone, it was too late. Hsss and his people had been infected with this green and began mobilizing for war, to take revenge on Greyskull and Eternos for abandoning him in his lands time of need. He would take not only Eternos' lands but also this new golden power that Brightmoon had been using to heal some of them. Brightmoon managed to maintain a neutrality in the war, but was constantly hounded by both sides to side with them, as the war was mostly a stalemate with both sides being able to push into each others territory, only to be beaten by the counter-attack as both sides were able to use their new magics to develop newer and far more terrifying powers. A tie-breaker was needed and if Brightmoon refused to be that tie-breaker, then both sides were going to take drastic measures.
King Hsss developed his first, a sceptor designed to harness the raw green power he dubbed “Havoc” calling it the Havoc Staff. Taking to the battlefield, this staff was able to call down terrible powers upon his enemies. Seeing the attrosities that Hsss was performing. Greyskull had also developed a similar weapon, but this was a sword that, once bathed in the golden powers at Castle Greyskull became The Sword of Power. A weapon of unimaginable power, capable of transforming the wielder into a mountain of a man. Greyskull and Hsss' battles were the stuff of legends. Although Greyskulls powers dwarfed Hsss, Greyskull quickly found the fatal weakness of The Power. It was completely incapable of killing a living being. A weakness unshared by the Havoc that powered Hsss. He begged Light-Hope to help him find a way to remove this weakness so he could kill Hsss, but Light-Hope refused. In order to save her kingdom, Light-Hope activated Brightmoon's secret last defence mechanism.
In a bright flash of light and a surge of energy that rocked the whole planet, Brightmoon disappeared... Gone... Not just scooped up and displaced, but it seemed as though the whole planet had re-written itself so that Brightmoon's entire kingdom had never existed. That night is when people looked up into the sky to see a Moon had appeared above Primus. However, Greyskull was eventually able to deal that decisive blow, Hsss was defeated, the Snakemen destroyed and Primus saved. King Greyskull renamed the planet to Eternia in recognition of the only great power left.
However, the victory was short lived as a fiendish army from space calling themselves "The Horde" invaded. They were also swiftly defeated by King Greyskulls immeasurable power. Hordak, their leader, swore that no matter how long it took, he would take Eternia for his own. Every 100 years or so, the Horde attack and a Champion is called upon to weild the Sword of Power and defeat the Horde and Hordak himself, although the Hero almost always perished in defeating Hordak and saving Eternia.
Flash forward 3000 years to today. The Horde haven't actually attacked for over 400 years. The last great hero Wondar died killing Hordak once and for all. He walked into the throne-room, threw Hordaks severed head at the Kings feet and proclaimed "Let it be known, Hordak is finally dead." Before collapsing and succumbing to his injuries. Now, Eternia is ruled over by King Randor, but this is only in name. The TRUE one pulling the strings is his beloved brother Keldor. 10 years ago, Randor's Wife, 2 children and his Man At Arms were killed in a tragic shuttle accident and the king has been in secluded grieving ever since, only coming out in public very rarely and leaving all affairs of state to Keldor.
So, you guys will be given the opportunity to play either OC's, or your own reimaginings of canon characters. Wanna be a Princess of Power like Perfuma or Mermista? Go for it. Want to play a Master of the Universe like Ram Man, Fisto or Buzz-Off? Sure. Want to reimagine a villain like Catra, Beastman or Merman as a Master of the Universe in this continuity? Absolutely fine.

This is a lot like the standard Young Justice/Young Avengers RP's you are no doubt aware of as they have been a staple of this site since its inception. This is an Amalgamverse RP, meaning that it's mainly Marvel x DC, but there's a few other things crossed into it. The big difference here being that you are actively encouraged to do weird and wonderful stuff with the premise. Actively encouraged to pair characters that have otherwise never had the chance to be paired as well as to play their offspring. The idea of this is that the Superhero boom happened a while ago and this is the new generation of heroes that have yet to properly make their mark on the superhero scene. Want to play the son of Batman and Spider-Woman? Go ahead. Want to play a reimagining of Robbie Reyes as Jaime Reyes' brother? Want to play May Day Parker that's been accepted into the Green Lantern Corps? Why the hell not? I am actively encouraging that you go crazywild with the idea's of these two universes melded together.
Since the dawn of writing, man has talked about otherworldly titans that walk the Earth. The Greeks creating gods in their own hubristic image. The Norsemen who wove tales of other worlds ruled by Giants. The Celtics who told of humans that slew giants. Even as recently as the Americans who told the tale of a giant who carved a pet out of a mountain. But these were abandoned as myths, fairytales to boast of ones accomplishments or to frighten supersticious travellers.
In 1948, the world was given a grim lesson in the myths it had abandoned. Gojirra, The God-Lizard, an apt name of this force of nature. Awoken by Mans meddling with powers he should not have, the creature tore a bloody swath through Japan as the rest of the world stood by, either powerless to help, or so trapped in their own petty affairs that it seemed ill important. Eventually, with the power of an even more terrible fruit known as "Oxygen Deatroyer" they were able to drive it away. But Gojirra was simply an omen, a herald of what was to come. For Gojirra was not the only one to awaken.
From the jungles of Vietnam came the creatures known as Gyaos. Where Gojirras rampage seemed more of territoriality and concerned with the destruction of man's defiance of the natural order than of malice, the Gyaos were the opposite. Sadistic, cruel and absolutely hell-bent on the annihilation of man itself. The Gyaos seemed especially interested in the children of man. But in humanities darket hour, another creature. Seemingly just as powerful and destructive as Gojirra appeared. A giant turtle that seemed to have an affinity for the children of man. A creature that put itself in harms way to protect man, not his accomplishments. The children of the world all cried out his name as if some mass hysteria "Gamera"
Then finally, from under the Australian outback came a third threat, one not of this world. One that came from beyond the stars to attempt to use both the protectirs and destroyers of Earth to its own evil ends. The Goodas. Seeded millenia ago by extraterrestrials of unfathomable complexity to wait for Earths mightiest beings to show themselves. But the enemies of these ancient beings were not far behind.
Warriors of Nebula M78 arrived to prevent the Goodas from assimilating Earths natural ecosystem to assist in the war against the Nebulans. But, after the defeat of the first Goodas, the warriors came to a grim realization. Although their powers dwarfed those of the Goodas, the Earth itself did not take kindly to these unexpected guests. It turned out that the Goodas had been seeded into Earth millenia before they were needed not to await the Monsters Awakening, but to acclimatise to Earths atmosphere. Unable to survive on Earth, the warriors chose specific humans to grant their power to.
Now, as the Human populationf of Earth reached 8 billion. A plan of ancienct complexity has gone into action. The Gyaos have finally chosen their moment to strike. Now, Earth must decide if their petty squabbles are worth their own lives. One day, a number of children, impossible to say why they were chosen or what it was that wven chose them have awoken to find themselves the target of unspeakable horrors. But also have become perhaps the key to their species very survival. As they have become eother the hosts to the Nebulan Warriors, or the herald of one of the Godbeasts also known as "Kaiju"
