Ransack Contact Guild (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

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 Cybertron.

Origin

Insecticon: Ransack assumes the alt-mode of a locust.

Role and Focus

Raider (Seigemaster): Ransack is an expert at the destruction of structures and fortifications.

Essence Scores and Skills

Strength 8: Athletics (Leaping) +d6*, Brawn +d4, Might +d4

Speed 3: Initiative +d2, Targeting +d4

Smarts 5: Alertness +d4, Survival +d6

Social 5: Animal Handling +d4, Performance +d2, Streetwise +d4

Gaining Ransack As A Contact

Decepticons, Rise Up!: If this Contact is on scene, the PCs can summon them for 1 round.

Insecticon Hivemate: Fellow bugs need to stick together or be crushed under the heels of the largest Cons. If a PC is an Insecticon, they gain Barrage as a temporary Contact.

Frontline Trooper: While the Seekers and gunners fight in the back ranks, Ransack likes to be in the frontlines of battle. Other Decepticons with the Warrior Role who excel in melee combat, if they succeed on three DIF 14 Brawn, Intimidation, and Might Skill Tests, gain Ransack as a permanent Contact.

Allegiance Points: 3

Contact Perks

Electrical Antennae (1 Allegiance Point): Rasack’s antennae can shoot bolts of electricity. A Threat suffers 1 Electrical damage 

Leaping Bug (3 Allegiance Points): Ransack can leap up to 200 feet in a single bound. All PCs have an Edge when making Athletics (Jumping) Skill Tests until the end of the scene. Their jumping distance is doubled.

Vibratory Demolition (2 Allegiance Points): By rubbing his legs together, Ransack generates vibrations that can crumble a brick wall. All objects and structures in the combat scene have their Toughness Defenses reduced by 2.

Till All Are One!

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...
