Within the Iron Cross Empire, the Thule Society serves as the arcane arm of the Emperor. To operate as a spellcatser within the Iron Cross without license under the Thule is to live a life in hiding. The Thule seek out rogue sorcerers, druids, as well as celestials, fey, and fiends using their Inquisitors. Each inquisitor is armed with Martian-tech weaponry and provided a personal unit of stormtroopers to aid in the hunting of their quarry.  Here we have a high-ranking Thule Inquisitor, known for striking fear in the hearts of their enemies.

For this post, I decided to go with everyone's favorite femme-chassis Autobot: Arcee. Since being introduced in the original TF Movie in 1986, this character has enjoyed the heights of popularity as a character, even if not always being given the best of roles to play. Future TF series turned Arcee from "the girl character" to a badass warrior who every Deception feared to cross.  Whether she is pink or blue, Arcee has become a staple character of the TF universe. This build use the Transformers rpg rules by Renegade Games Studios. “Looks are always deceiving.” ARCEE Champion Warrior (Sentinel) 12 Size : Large/Long Health : 5 Movement : 40 ft.

 Bensozia, the Queen of Hell, and wife of Asmodeus, is a fiend of great power and importance. She deserves to be every bit as interesting a character as her husband (and daughter); deserving to be much more than a means for which Asmodeus to reorganize Hell in the event of her death. I honestly hate that TSR did that to her. And that WotC kept it as a backstory plot point for the Nine Hells. Levistus is an uninteresting villain; there are many other scheming archdevils from which to choose. Whereas Bensozia has tons of potential! Thus, in my personal campaign, she is still around and has her own machinations. Here is my personal build for the archfiend Bensozia...

 Windcharger is an underused and underappreciated character. He has three listed traits in his tech spec: he's fast (the fastest of the original 1984 Autobots), he has magnetic powers, and he's a bit rash in the use of said magnetic powers; which often causes him to go through his fuel reserves. He suffered an ignoble offstage death in the 1986 movie, his corpse being seen next to Wheeljack and briefly mourned by Arcee. But here he is for use in your Essence20 Transformers rpg game.

 Here is my NPC build for the Autobot City Commander, Brother-In-Arms to Optimus Prime himself: Ultra Magnus! In my personal TF: MASK '88 campaign, Magnus is the rebuilt Dion; just as Optimus is the rebuilt Orion Pax and Elita-1 is the rebuilt Ariel. He looks like a white-chassis Optimus, but due to wearing the Manga Armor, has a larger build and outer appearance. “Consistency is victory.” ULTRA MAGNUS Field Commander 19 Size : Huge/Extended Health : 8 Movement : 20 ft.
