Hello, and welcome to the TransFormers: End of the Road OOC Thread! Here you can put in your application for the RP thread, post story ideas, keep up-to-date with the latest episode of TransFormers EotR, and just chat out-of-character with friends!
Link To Story Thread: COMING SOON!
CURRENT EVENTS: COMING SOON! CHECK BACK HERE FOR CURRENT EVENTS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE STORY THREAD!
STORY THREAD MODERATORS TO BE ANNOUNCED!
What is TransFormers End of the Road?
TransFormers End of the Road is a planned RP set in an alternate universe similar to the one seen in TransFormers: Twilight's Last Gleaming 1-5 and the one glimpsed in the Decepticon campaign ending cinematic of the 2007 TransFormers game.
In the final days of the Great War, Megatron eventually succeeds in obtaining the Allspark inspite of the Autobot's valiant efforts to defeat him. Earth soon shares the same fate as Cybertron, poisoned to the core and now almost incapable of supporting life human or otherwise. Optimus is dead, and the Matrix of Leadership is nowhere to be found.
But all hope is not lost however, pockets of resistance still manage to survive underground, employing guerrilla tactics on unsuspecting Decepticon soldiers. These brave rebels have made it their mission to cause as much trouble as possible for the Decepticon Empire, and they will stop at nothing to defend what little family they have left.
This is where your story begins, dear reader. How will you survive in this harsh environment? Will you join the terrifying army the Decepticon Empire, or will you stand against all odds by the side of the Autobots? You will be faced with many tough decisions along the way, and each will not only influence you, but also the world around you. Choose wisely, dear reader, and pray that you'll survive long enough to see the next post...

How Does This Thread Work?
This Roleplaying thread is different than most in terms of rules. Since the main plot is planned, all cannon characters are considered NPCs. As the creator of this story, NPCs will be controlled by myself and designated Thread Moderators who each have been given extensive knowledgeable on the overarching storyline of the series.
That being said, if you'd like to join in on this RP, then you must create an original character. We've heard the tales of legends like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream before, now is the time to tell YOUR story.
Throughout your adventures, you will be able to interact with your favorite characters and even go on missions with them. Do keep in mind however, we live in a dangerous world, and just because he/she is a fan-favorite character doesn't give them a safety blanket against all harm, and it certainly won't prevent them from dying. Just look what happened to Optimus!
Do's and Don'ts:
1) Multiple OCs are Allowed. TransFormers End of the Road covers a vast universe in which many-a-character can live. Feel free to get creative!
2) Be respectful to other players. Keep in mind that just like you, other players are participating in the game to have fun too. No Out-Of-Character drama will be tolerated. If you absolutely can't contain yourself, take it somewhere else.
3) Don't godmod. Like all other RP threads, this thread is based off an honor system. I am very lenient when it comes to powerful characters. I've seen Mini-Cons being used, Combiner Teams be played, and even ancient Primes rise from the dead. But remember this: There's always a bigger fish, think realistically and you'll be fine.
My reasoning for this is, some of the situations you face will be almost unwinnable without the help of your fellow players. If you desire to create a super-crazy-powered-being who can kill everyone in a blink of an eye, other characters may not want to play with you anymore and when you face a situation that requires help, you will fail.
If you're unsure whether or not something is considered godmodding, feel free to pass it by myself or any other of the Thread Moderators for confirmation. Other veteran RPers on this site can help too.
4) Remember to Make Scene Headings. This thread's story spans an entire universe, and it's easy to get lost in it. When you or one of your OCs are changing to different locations, be sure to let us know where you are by making a Scene Heading:
(EXAMPLE)
-Autobot Base: 20 Miles Below Area 51. (Earth)
Or...
-Decepticon Cruiser Hand of Fate Flight Deck. (Epsilon Caru Asteroid Field)
5) Be Descriptive! Since this is a text-based game, the more details the better! Challenge yourself to paint elaborate pictures in your posts.
(EXAMPLE)
Boring Post: Hot Shot ran up, yelled, and punched the Terrorcon in the mouth, killing it.
Exciting Post: Charging towards the undead Terrorcon, Hot Shot let out a angry battlecry as he brought his fists down on the monster's jaw. He winced as the Terrorcon's rotted helm chassis caved in, spewing drops of it's tainted Energon onto his faceplate. The corpse crumpled to the ground.
6) Have fun! The purpose of this thread is of course, to enjoy yourself as you embark on breathtaking adventures with your friends. Now go on out there and have a good time!
How This Story Came About:
It began as a simple social experiment. Back during the year 2012, the Jagex news posts of the MMO TransFormers Universe where very few and far between. During these 'Dark Ages' many a creative TransFormers fan began to create beautifully engaging and remarkably complex roleplay stories in which other TransFormers fans could participate. This thread's plot was one of the many stories forged lovingly and carefully in the Roleplaying section.
Originally labeled TransFormers: Time, the gist of the story was supposed to tie into the story of TransFormers Universe. Megatron beat the good guys, forcing a group of Autobots and Ex-Decepticons to escape a post-apocalyptic Earth and travel through the ages to a time when Autobots and Decepticons where on equal footing: both sides unable to fully eliminate the other. At the time I was a newbie to RPing, and most certainly didn't anticipate how popular the series would become! As more and more eager and creative players joined, the story began to evolve from a simple time traveling story to a whole universe that explored the possibilities of the question ''What If?''
What if Megatron took over the known universe? What if Earth could no longer support humanity? What if Optimus Prime was deceased and all that remained of our Autobots allies were left to die in holes in the scorched Earth. What if Unicron was reactivated and we where forced to leave our homes like the people of Cybertron during the Great Exodus? Many such questions where explored and many more where asked as participant's OCs where thrown into situations that where never seen before and sometimes required making decisions between life or death. As the plot unfolded, my original story began to progress in a brand new direction and eventually the time traveling idea was replaced with the collaborative piece of art you will experience now.
This Looks Fun! How Do I Sign Up?
In order to bring in any new character, one must create a character sheet on this OOC Thread. Post up some bios and pictures, something to let other players know who your characters are and what they look like.
Once posted, your characters will need to be approved by myself or one of the Thread Moderators. Once you get the green light, you're good to go!
Story ideas follow the same process that character sheets do. We'd love to hear your input and if there is any way we can incorporate your stories with the main plot we will. Post your ideas here in the OOC thread and we'll discuss them together.

Sounds kind of similar to my Transformers Rebels idea a while back, but I dig it. Time for Lord Death Wish and Rebel Bruiser to get going. If they happen to seem like another popular cult character from another genre then that is merely coincidence

Cant we revive Transformers Time? That was a great RP and due to TFU closed, we never finished it. It worths a proper ending.
