BUMBLEBEE (Autobot PC build - Transformers Essence 20 rpg)

 This new build using the Transformers rpg by Renegade Games Studio features the favorite 'Bot from the film franchise: Bumblebee!

BUMBLEBEE

Bumblebee is one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobots. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. Maybe this is why he makes fast friends among the humans. He looks up (so to speak) to the other Autobots, especially Optimus Prime, but what he doesn't realize is that they look up to him. He may be small, but he's brave, and he's one of the most well-liked Autobots around. Bumblebee already has the respect he craves.



“The least likely can be the most dangerous.”

Acute Sense (Vision): Bumblebee gains an Edge when rolling an Alertness check requiring vision. Bumblebee gains ↑1 on a non-Alertness Skill Test when his vision can be applied.

Ally Awareness: If an ally has an ability that affects allies within a certain range, Bumblebee gains the benefits of that ability as long as he is within 5 times the range of the ability. Additionally, once per scene, as a Free Action, Bumblebee can use the memory of advice an ally once gave Bumblebee to gain the benefits of Lend Assistance.

Disappear: As a Free Action, Bumblebee can spend an Energon Point to turn invisible until the end of his turn.

For The Allspark: Bumblebee gains the following benefits:

  • ↑1 to Infiltration Skill Tests when in Alt Mode, or ↑2 if Alt Mode is appropriate to the environment.

  • Immunity to carbon-based diseases, but affected by electromagnetic damage and viruses that affect machines.

  • Roll Out! When Bumblebee rolls for initiative, if not surprised, he can choose to convert to his Alt Mode before combat begins without needing to spend an action.

Forward Observation: Alertness is both a Smarts and Social Skill for Bumblebee. When Bumblebee rolls an Alertness Skill Test and the creature Bumblebee is observing isn’t aware of Bumblebee’s presence, Bumblebee can score a Critical Success with a d2.

General Perks: All-Terrain Alt Mode (Swim), Human Companion

Hidden In Plain Sight: Bumblebee can Hide, even if he does not have cover, darkness, or another effect that limits the vision of observers.

Hindsight: Bumblebee has a 3D Holographic memory. When discussing a previous scene, Bumblebee can make a new Alertness Skill test with an Edge to recall information as though he was still there.

Look Out!: Bumblebee can defend with Evasion even if unaware of an attack.

Pop Out: When Bumblebee attacks while Hidden, he can make an immediate Infiltration Skill Test against the Willpower or Cleverness of the enemies who could have seen him. On a success, Bumblebee continues to gain the benefits of Hide after his attack.

Scavenger: Bumblebee gains an Edge on Streetwise (Transportation) Skill Tests.

Silent As A Shadow: All Bumblebee’s attacks and movement are considered Silent.

Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...
