OMEGA SUPREME Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

The Contact Build for today is the massive robot guardian: Omega Supreme!

Noteworthy for their massive size, Omega Supreme was one of the largest Transformers to come out for the original series, until later additions like Metroplex and Fortress Maximus were introduced. Omega Supreme was a massive battle station, complete with a space rocket, launch pad and tank that would move across a track surrounding the base that made up their component pieces. All of these formed together into a single giant robot form.

In the old G1 cartoons and comics, Omega Supreme served as the protector of the Ark while the Autobots were away on missions. The sheer size of Omega made them problematic to bring on missions, and their firepower would usually only be called upon to deal with major threats like Decepticon Combiners... at least until the Autobots got their own Combiner teams with the Aerialbots and Protectobots. Omega was pretty much sidelined, as these combiner teams could easy go into the field at a moment's notice.

In the third season of the G1 cartoon, we learned the origins of Omega Supreme as the last of the Omega Guardians. 

As Transformers have been rebooted again and again, Omega Supreme continues to be a regular in most series, usually serving as a more neutral-aligned guardian to important Cybertronian relics and artifacts. Despite these differences in motivation, Omega Supreme still remains one of the biggest and strongest beings in the Autobot military.

OMEGA SUPREME

"Unyielding resolve has no conqueror."

Omega Supreme is one of the largest Autobots, and perhaps the most powerful. They aren’t much for words; their mountainous frame and vast firepower tend to do the talking. They are the last line of the Autobot defense, and this responsibility gives them a solemn, even grim personality - for they know that if a battle calls for their involvement, the rest of their team must have already fallen. This titanic last survivor of the Guardian robots instills fear and panic into the sparks of Decepticons foolhardy enough to stand against them in battle.

Influences

Security, Titanspark: Omega Supreme is the last of the Omega Sentinels; guardian robots created in the aftermath of the Quintesson invasion to help prevent such an event from happening again. The remaining Sentinels were destroyed in the early days of the Great War as Megatron knew they would stand against his tyrannical rule of Cybertron. With their brethren destroyed, Omega Supreme chose to side with the Autobots rather than remain neutral in the war.

How is Vlaakith Still a Thing?

I have been playing Bladur's Gate 3 (a magnificent game, I highly recommend it) and I'm still trying to wrap my head around something.... WHY IS VLAAKITH BACK??? HOW is Vlaakith back!? Oh, right... context... I am seeped in D&D lore. I LURVE me some lore! I specifically know a LOT about D&D lore --- from a multitude of different worlds and eras -- because I decided to based my D&D campaign setting (Embria) on the idea that the various D&D adventures (especially the big memorable ones) serve as the historical points of the setting. And due to this research, I have read deep into the adventures and what they entail. And there have been several adventures over the last two decades that focused heavily on githyanki and the destruction of their lich-queen Vlaakith. The first of these adventures is The Incursion, ending in "The Lich Queen's Beloved" in Dungeon Magazine #100 (published July 2003). This was an adventure for the D&D 3.5 rules. The next

Decepticon HISS Drone (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Imagine if you will a combined Transformers / GIJoe setting where the Decepticons have infiltrated the ranks of Cobra using their Pretender agents. Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam. A Cobra Strike Team infiltrates the Hoover Dam, taking down one Greenshirt after another in as they dive deeper into the facility, only to come to the center vault which contains... The AllSpark! Suddenly one of the Cobra agents -- secretly a Decepticon Pretender -- guns down her fellow Cobra Vipers and immediately calls in to Soundwave, seeking an extraction team on her position: "For the glory of Megatron, the AllSpark has been found!" Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes.

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h
