[Captain Zymmer]

I have a couple of the Handbooks to the Transformers from Marvel if that will help at all?

Okay as a quick and silly conversion system:

Strength+Endurance /4 round down, min of 1 = Fitness

Speed /2 rd dn, min 1 = Coordination

Intelligence /2 rd dn, min 1 = Intellect

Courage /2 rd dn, min 1 = Presence

Rank *10 = Renown on a scale of 1-100

Firepower /2 rd dn, min 1 = broad Weapon Skill/damage

Skill *10 = available skill points to spread as determined.

Well, its a start

Plus remove Psi all together.

There is only 1 Transformer I can think of who has this, which is simply a tech add on.

He's the Decepticon MindWipe btw

As another point, from the early cartoons. The TFs had cool special add ons.

Both Megatron and Optimus Prime could change their hand/arm into a energy melee weapon.

Ironhide could retrack his hands to release a fire extinguishing compound.

Someone could fire nets from their hands to.

Watch the first season of the cartoon and you'll see all soughts of cool things.

Mind you as to background content I have about 75 of the 80 issues of the US comic.

Plus about 200+ of the 330 UK comics

And most of the other little titles

Hey, would anyone check to see if there's a Brent Eric Reiersen on the letters pages in the last few issues of the original US series or any of Generation 2? By the way, how did the original US series end?

Games. The Final Product. These are the books of the Star Trek RPG. Their five year license. To explore strange new roles. To breathe new life into get togethers. To boldly play what no fan has played before!

From the sounds of it, ICON required slight adjustment for Dune, and that was a future Sci-Fi featuring humans and Aliens in space...

So a setting about Alien sentient Machines in 20th Century earth (and their past and future counterparts) are probably going to require the ICON setting adjusted to them...

Take if from me Sir Sig,

Designing a TF game is a lot of fun. My players real seem to enjoy it. And their characters have a lot of depth to them. Not just cardboard cut outs. I know many online resources out there on the web that you could use if you like.

My game is based on the D10's. After a number of playtests and input from the players and non-players. We have game system that works for transformers, and has the proper game balance.

The core book is 121 pages (more if I added pictures).

Even if people don't want to play the game, the core book is packed with information on the Transformers universe. Cannon and Non-cannon info.

I plan on drafting some outlines for future supplements.

Headmaster and Target Masters
Victory!!
Beast Wars Neo
Beast Wars 2
Robots in Disguise/Car Robots

[SIR SIG]

Care to share any of this info?
