Moonracer Contact (Transformers Essence20 RPG)

Our next Wrecker Recruit is the unlikely optimistic Moonracer! One would think her youthful spirit and optimism would preclude her from joining the Wreckers. However, he exceptional bravery, loyalty, and sharpshooting skills makes her an asset on any battlefield.

Moonracer was one of the first four female Transformers introduced during the original G1 Transformers cartoon in 1985.



MOONRACER

“I’m the sharpest sharpshooter in the galaxy.”

Moonracer is full of joy and laughter. The bubbly little sister, Moonracer is full of naive optimism and, to the dismay of her colleagues, pratfalls. She worries about her friends and enemies not taking her seriously. She’s on a mission to show them all she’s not one to be dismissed so easily.

Influences

Bureaucrat, Security: Nine million years ago, Moonracer was one of the younger Autobots, mentally a teenager. She was locked in this mindset when Decepticons attacked the facility that was overseeing one of her upgrades, and the damage to the equipment resulted in stilted emotional growth. While she hadn't made her way to full functionality, she was still quite capable, if perhaps too impetuous for her own good. In the meantime, she functioned as an attaché to Alpha Trion.

Origin

Champion: Moonracer is extremely fast in both modes and her hovercar alt-mode is capable of flying for short distances.

Role and Focus

Gunner (Sharpshooter): Moonracer was considered to be brave and loyal by Thunderclash, being counted among his potential recruits for the Wreckers.

Essence Scores and Skills

Strength 3: Athletics +d2, Brawn +d2, Might +d2

Speed 6: Driving +d2, Initiative +d2, Targeting (Pistols) +d6

Smarts 3: Alertness +d4, Survival +d2

Social 4: Persuasion +d4, Streetwise +d4

Gaining Moonracer As A Contact

Fellow Autobot: If this Contact is on the scene, the player characters can summon them for 1 round.

Live in the Moment: Moonracer loves a good time, whether hanging out with her friends or going on a joy ride. If the PCs spend their downtime having fun with Moonracer and succeed at a DIF 14 Culture, Driving, Performance, or Streetwise Skill Test, they gain Moonracer as a permanent Contact they can summon once per mission.

Allegiance Points: 3

Contact Perks

Brazen Confidence (2 Allegiance Points): Mooracer likes to press her advantage in battle. When a PC hits a Threat with a ranged attack, they can make an additional ranged attack ↓2 as a Move Action.

Long Shot (1 Allegiance Point): Moonracer is an expert marksman able to hit a nailhead from 1 kilometer away. A PC does not suffer Snag when attacking from long range with a ranged weapon on their next attack.

Youthful Optimism (3 Allegiance Points): Moonracer is endlessly optimistic, reminding her fellow Autobots that the future is in good hands. All attempts to induce the Frightened Condition on the PCs suffer Snag until the end of the scene.

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...
