Alright, so this is not intended to dumb down or allow more unbalanced or characters lacking development in. The idea is to allow a broader range of writers to enjoy RPing on TFG. Remember that a minimum is a minimum, and that nothing prevents you from creating beautiful and long descriptions and example writing.
Underlined or golden areas mean they were modified from Astrinal's current version.
So here it is:
BASICS
Designation: The character’s name. This should be obvious
Nicknames: What else is your character called?
Gender: Boy or Girl? Mech or Femme?
Age: If you don’t know your Cybertronian Calender or year, just put down how old they’d be if they were human. For those of you with canon characters, just guess..
Home Planet: Where does your character originate from? (Ex: Paradron, Cybertron, Jungle Planet, Velocitron)
[Optional]Home City State: For those fellows who wish to be fancy, state what City State your character is from! (Ex: Vos, Iacon, Kaon, Praxus..)
Faction: Autobot or Decepticon? If your character is rogue, there’ll be an alternative part for this little section.
Rank: What’s your character’s rank? leave this blank until either I, or the faction leader consents with your application. To have ranks approved, see the faction’s ranks thread.
Occupation: What do they do for their faction? (Ex: Warrior, Stealth Operative, Chemical Engineer.) list whatever apply

ARMOR AND WEAPONRY
Armor:
Armor Description: Describe your character's armor. Is it thick? What about weight? What's it made out of? (2 sentences minimum)
Weaponry
Primary Weapon: Main GUN Weapon. Don't list your character's melee here (Unless they are freakishly against guns. Then you may have a valid point.
Primary Weapon Description: Describe your primary weapon and what it does.(2 sentences minimum)
Secondary Weapon: Secondary GUN weapon. Again, don't put a melee weapon here.

Melee Weapon Description: Describe your melee weapon and what it does.(2 sentences minimum)
Abilities: (OPTIONAL) What abilities does your character have? EX: Fire control, regeneration, etc...
Ability Descriptions: Explain your abilities and their weaknesses. (2 Sentences minimum)
TECH SPECS
[Note: This is based off a 1 to 10 scale. One is the lowest, then is the highest. To ensure nobody is super-duper powerful, there will be a limit of points you can use on your Tech Specs. This will apply to all but the rank stat. Keep in mind that a rank of 10 is extremely powerful and rare.]
Strength:
How physically strong is your character? When adding your points, this will determine how hard a character can hit in melee combat. 10 is strong, capable of lifting small buildings while stat of 1 is the strength less of a human equivalent.
Intelligence:
The ability to solve complex problems whether they be mathematical, practical or social. Examples are decoding an encrypted transmission, coming up with a battle plan or deducing the fact that someone in the ranks is a spy. A stat of 10 is a genius, who could probably the equivalent to Shockwave. A stat of 1 however represents a character who cannot speak or has problems solving simple problems like opening a door.
Dexterity:
The grace in the character’s movement in both robot and alternative mode. 10 is the equivalent of someone with acrobat like abilities, and capable of performing complex flips and rolls. 1 However is someone who trips over there peds every other step, and has trouble driving straight in alternative mode.
Speed:
How fast is your character in ALTERNATIVE mode! This stat doesn’t count towards a character in robot mode, but only in alternative mode. Sometimes, there speed in car mode will roughly predict how fast they are in robot mode. 10 is supersonic, while 1 is slower than a turtle.
Endurance:
How much damage can your character take? 10 represents a character that can take a massive amount of damage function quite well with little fuel used. 1 however represents that a character can take little damage and easily consume great amounts of energy to remain fully functional.
Courage:
How fearless and brave if your character? Courage represents the ability to overcome one’s fear and preform a difficult or dangerous task. A stat of 10 proves that a character travels on a suicidal path, while 1 makes a character a plain cowards.
Firepower:
How much damage your character do by firing their weapons. 10 represents the ability to level a city block or greater in a single blast while a stat of 1 will only scratch a transformer’s pain.
Accuracy:
How good is your character’s aim with a ranged weapon? 10 represents that your character hardly ever misses with any gun, while 1 proves that your character is crap with a handgun.
Melee:
How skilled is your character with a melee weapon or with their bare hands [Ex: Sword, Mace]? 10 indicates your character is skilled with martial arts and various other fighting techniques, while 1 proves they suck at executing a proper punch to the face.
Tech Skill:
How good is your character with technology? A stat level of 10 indicates they can hack through even the toughest firewalls, and create bugs to even prevent Soundwave from Tweeting on twitter (Long story short: Skill Equivalent to Perceptor or Soundwave). A skill level of one proves that they can’t even use a simple GB control.
Charisma:
How easily does your character get along with others? A stat of ten means they get along pretty well, which they tend to be liked. A stat of 1 would prove they have trouble getting along, and are normally negative and a loner.

SAMPLE RP
( Required: Provide an example of yourself Roleplaying. If you don't write the best, don't worry, we'll help you improve.)
Alright so, not too different, but a few slight tweaks have been made to make things clearer and easier for people that don't write as well as others. Please provide comments and constructive criticism.
