Bludgeon Threat Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
As of this posting, last night I ran a short session of the GIJoe Roleplaying Game for some folks on the BAMF Podcast. You can find the video for that game here . If you dont want to watch the full thing, tl/dr is that they are undercover GIJoe agents in Cobra who discover that Cobra's new weapons supplier are actually a faction of alien robots (Decepticons). In the session, their Decepticon contact is the Pretender Bludgeon, who is just a cool character. I was introduced to Bludgeon through the Marvel Comics, where he first appeared as the leader of the Mayhem Attack Squad. In this story, they hunted down a bunch of Autobots unto the Cybertron underworld and discovered the hidden chamber of Primus himself. The events of this story led to the big Unicron battle of the comics... so, highly memorable! Bludgeon would go on to become a major character in the series from this point on. When Thunderwing, Scorponok, and Shockwave -- all the Decepticon leaders who came before him -- had be...

Circuit Breaker Threat Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
For today's article, we focus on one of the unique villains from the Transformers Marvel Comics: Circuit Breaker! If you enjoy this article, please support me on my Patreon . Or buy me a KoFi . This is unofficial, fan made material using the Transformers Essence20 rpg by Renegade Games Studios. I am 100% convinced that Circuit Breaker, who was released as a  character in 1985, was the inspiration for the Borg in Star Trek: TNG in 1989; and almost certainly the inspiration for Seven of Nine... just look at that haircut! Circuit Breaker (aka Josie Beller) Circuit Breaker is a villain whose pathological hatred of robots knows no bounds. She refuses to make the distinction between Autobot and Decepticon, blaming the Transformer race as a whole for the attack which left her crippled. As such, she is more likely to do harm to the Autobot cause than to be of assistance. Circuit Breaker was originally the genius Josie Beller. Hired by Blackrock Enterprises only a few years out of high scho...

Ransack Contact Guild (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
Today's Contact Build is for another Deluxe Insecticon: Ransack! This is unofficial, fan-made content using the Transformers Essence20 rpg by Renegade Games Studios. RANSACK " The sight of ruin only makes me crave more ." Ransack is a fairly simple being. A tough-talking and straightforward warrior, he craves combat and longs for each new battle. He'll level a whole town, destroy natural wonders, and kill hundreds to complete his mission without batting an optic. Ransack notices such things, sure—he just doesn't care. This, of course, makes him one popular Decepticon, as they see him as the type of awesome dude who tells it like it is! The only downside is they have to let him go in first, since he keeps forgetting to shoot around them. In either insect or robot mode, he still possesses the same incredible strength and vibrational power in his legs. Influences Disenfranchised, Scavenger: Ransack has to make due with what he can find, like any other Insecticon on C...

Chop Shop Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
 I've been focused on making the Unofficial Guides to my personal Transformers rpg campaign that I've pretty well been neglecting this thread. Sorry about that, folks. But I hope the guides have been fun to read as well. If you want to see them all, check them out in my Transformers RPG Unofficial Guide Google Drive . But now, we return to our regularly scheduled bug hunt and bring you more Insecticon action with... CHOP SHOP! This is a character I have little knowledge of, as the TF comics and cartoons of my era focused on the three normal Insecticons, not the four Deluxe versions. He did have an appearance in Transformer: Robots In Disguise has an escaped Decepticon criminal. But Chop Shop could make for an interesting foil for the PCs, as they are a  notorious thief. Security-based PCs can have Chop Shop as a regulars enemy -- or perhaps a confidential informant! This is unofficial, fan-made content using the Transformers Essence20 rpg  by Renegade Games Studios. CHOP ...

Barrage Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been working on the four Unofficial Guides for the last little while, forgetting to make any updates to this series of pages. So, back we go to the Insecticon ranks. We have always done the three most popular Insecticons, leaving the four "Deluxe" Insections undone. Unlike the other three, these four break the color scheme by having their own individual style and color themes. We start with: Barrage! This is unofficial, fan-made content using the Transformers Esence20 rpg by Renegade Games Studios. If you enjoy this content, please send me a tip on KoFi . Or maybe consider becoming a supporter of my Patreon , and check out my art!               I had an appearance in that TF show everyone hated! BARRAGE " Nothing left standing means nothing left to change ." Barrage believes winning is not enough, all must be leveled to the ground, and then the rubble should be burned and the ashes scattered to the wind. Merciless and cruel, he feels kindness...
