Starscream Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
Today's article features a Decepticon who is perhaps even more infamous that Megatron himself. Here we discuss the Decepticon Air Commander Starscream ! Starscream functions as Megatron's executive officer; second-in-command to the Decepticon army solely because of his vaunted position as the leader of the Seekers, who form the backbone of the Con Military. Previous to his joining the Decepticon army, Starscream was a less-than-noteworthy scientist who worked alongside Jetfire. Both were persuaded by the anti-Functionist speeches of Megatron during his gladiatorial days, and eagerly joined the Cons as a means to improve their lives.  Ever the ambitious one, Starscream became envious of Jetfire's position as leader of Megatron's Seekers and constantly sought means to replace his companion. When Jetfire became disillusioned with the atrocities committed by the Cons and joined the Autobots, Starscream immediately placed himself in the position as leader of the Seekers. He ...

Skywarp Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Starting in on the Contact Builds for the Seekers, we have the coolest Seeker of them all: Skywarp ! Growing up, Skywarp was  my favorite of the Decepticon jets. Not only were they stylish in basic black with purple highlights, but they had a super-cool -- and unique -- power: Teleportation. No other Transformer has this power, to my knowledge.

YMMV Alternatively, given the fact that Skywarp is eventually reforged into Cyclonus during the Unicron Singularity, it could also be that, following the eventual destruction of Unicron (when his head is cast into the Alpha Centauri star) and Skywarp is restored to their  original form, they take the time to readd...

Sharkticons!!! (Transformers Essence20 rpg Threats)

Image
It's Shark Week come early! For this article, we check out the ravenous Sharkticons and the many individual characters that have appeared in the TF Universe who identify as "Sharkticons." When the Sharkticons were first introduced to the public, it was by the 1986 Transformers: The Movie where they served as the minions of the mysterious Quintessons. Much like the Seekers and Insecticons, the Sharkticons all looked alike -- basically making them "drones." This article is unofficial, fan-made material using the Transformers Essence20 rpg by Renegade games Studios. If you enjoy this content, please support my friend Owen and his fight with cancer. Please donate $1 or you might get eaten by a shark! SHARKTICON Sharkticons are generally big, dumb, plentiful and voracious — in short, perfect soldiers for the Quintessons, or whoever happens to be the one letting them off their leash at the given moment. Sometimes they're near-mindless army units for the tentacled ...
