OVA: RID

Post by Malancthon »

There has been some discussion lately on Discord about Transformers. Those that have seen Saber’s Legion thread will recognize that I’ve statted up some Transformers characters, so I thought it might be useful to put up a Robots in Disguise thread.

Some basic notes: I generally give Transformers Life Support 3 and Vulnerability (Electricity) 2 to represent their mechanical nature, as the sample characters Miho and Karis’ companion Arasuni use those Abilities too.

While Awkward Size is a subjective Weakness, for Transformers I apply a bit of toy logic. If a character is about the size of a car, they would be a deluxe sized figure, and therefore Awkward Size 1. Mega/Voyager sized characters are Awkward Size 2, and Leader class and beyond such as Titans and Combiners are Awkward Size 3.

Some characters use a few new Weaknesses, such as Duplicitous (cheats and liars such as any Starscream or G1 Megatron) and Ambitious (again, Starscream wanting to lead the Decepticons or Megatron’s desire to rule the universe). By the book, they could be the Compulsion Weakness, but I thought the Weaknesses would serve better as additional new Weaknesses.

Salvia Prominion

Legends tell of the ancient 13 Prominions, three of whom loved her, and how her death at the hands of one by the machinations of another splintered the order. Resurrected through the body of a modern femme, Salvia is hesitent to trust many of the current cyberforms as they engage in a violent war across the planet and beyond.

Black Convoy (+20/-15)
Image
Destronger Dark Commander
Transforms into a tanker truck. His amazing physical resemblance to Fire Convoy is the result of a simultaneous scanning of a tanker truck and Fire Convoy, but besides that, he seems to have a number of secrets yet hidden. His tanker portion can split apart, unfolding to become a battle base that boasts enough firepower to equal 12 Combatrons. Black Convoy specialises in swordsmanship, and is after not only Fire Convoy's head, but Gigatron's as well.

Alternate Forms:
Devil Gigatron is able to channel vast amounts of energy, called his Devil Power. Usually the best way for Gigatron to channel his Devil Power is by reconfiguring his body into alternate forms, with the most common described below. Image
Devil Jet: Gigatron's preferred form for transport, the Devil Jet form flies at incredible speeds. Flight +3, Devil Shooters: Ranged; R: 4, DX: x4, En: 0 (20 En)

Devil Hand: One of Gigatron's more unusual forms, the Devil Hand cycles his energy to increase his physical strength. Strong +3, Devil Slam: R: 4, DX: x7, En: 0 (20 En)

Devil Car: While a form Gigatron does not assume often, the Devil Car can be useful for quick getaways. Quick +3, Devil Shooters: Ranged; R: 4, Dx:x4, En: 0 (20 En)

Devil Bat: Another unusual form, Gigatron channels the Devil Bat's dark aura for metaphysical attacks. Psychic +3 (20 En)

Devil Dragon: An excellent form for combat, Devil Gigatron is able to use the unnerving weaving of the Devil Dragon's twin heads to attack from unexpected angles. Agile +3, Devil Flamethrowers: Ranged; R: 7, Dx: x4, En: 0 (20 En)

Devil Elephant: The Devil Elephant is a mode Gigatron rarely needs to take, but when he does he has nearly impenetrable defenses. Armor +3 (20 En)

Devil Saurer: A powerful, balanced form, the Devil Saurer combines the savage grace of the Devil Dragon form with incredible destruction. Agile +2, Attack +2, Devil Slash: R: 6, DX: x6, En: 0; Devil Beam (20 En)

Image
Pretender: Probably Devil Gigatron's most useful form, he is able to weave a transdermal shell and shift his mass to appear as an organic being. Transformation +1 (5 En)

Image
Kyūkyoku Hakaishin: Not technically a transformation, Devil Gigatron's Kyūkyoku Hakaishin mode unleashes his full destructive abilities, living up to his nickname as the Ultimate God of Destruction. Attack +2, Strong +3, Devil Lancer: Effective, Weapon; R: 4, DX: x10, En: 0, Devil Cutter: Ranged; R: 4, DX: x6, En: 0 (30 En)
