Right, I'm writing a Middle Years era fic (many of you know this already - it's taken many forms and evolved lots, but it's now actually reaching fruition) and basically need to know who I'm free to use and abuse as I please.

I know Sixshot was never in the comics, nor were two of the Deluxe Insections.

A whole bunch of Actionmasters, that's fair game and always fun.

Did Wingspan and Pounce crop up in the Headmasters mini? Or anywhere else?

Anybody else? I might kill Fangry for the hell of it. Because that's always fun.

Help me and receive credit in an exectutive consultant capacity*

Pleeeeeeeeease.

clones didn't pop up anywhere.

Reflector is an obvious one, as are slugfest Sqwalk talk, Beast Box and overkill.

Roadblock
Roadgrabber.
Counterpunch

Pretender Monstors only ever appeared in an alt universe so they are game.
Seascons were apparently on Cybertron before coming to earth.

Then you got your e-hobby types, like Magnificus.

That's it really - apart from Micro's and Action Masters.

Oh, and Gnaw.

Quite impressive how many characters made some sort of appearence really.

Tres bon. As they say.

Aaah, Reflector. Generic cannon-fodder if ever it were.

Counterpunch

This blighter I already have down for a key role, though technically he's an Autobot.

******* excellent point. And one that can tie in well... maybe

Ta!

nay bother son.

Leegeeown is right about the Japanese uns an all. Some Blue Bachus action maybe?

I think I have all I need. Have some of BrestForce sketched down for possible fringe action.

My disposables quota has been met, I think. The rest of the cast can be those wot we see later, I reckon.

There is always the red shirt option - which i tend to prefer as it gives the war a greater sense of scale.

True, but I find myself taking the approach of "why should I take the time thinking up new characters when there are already dozens of blighters who never got time on-page?"

If I kill them off in the past, it can help explain why we don't see them in the future! Or something. I don't know. I want instantly recognisable people for dramatic impetus! Or something.

Trotting out somebody new is telegraphing the death... or whatever.

not if you give them a bit of development, or have a few of them.

-Sixshot has lot of potential. I always imagined him asa freelancer, working for the highest bidder, since he's so powerfull he doesn't really have to take orders from anyone.

A whole bunch of Actionmasters, that's fair game and always fun.

Don't forget some cool UK exclusive guys, Take-off, Charger (who's like an even more evil version of Slag) and Slicer, umm, Wheeljack's evil clone.

Nope..

Anybody else? I might kill Fangry for the hell of it. Because that's always fun.

Don't make me Fangry. You wouldn't like me when I'm Fangry...

The Pretender Monsters are cool. Slog and Icepick especially, writing Cons who doubt what they do is always fun.

Overlord... of course the Powermaster process was not discovered back then.

Also show Thunderwing as a promising liutenant somewhere. And it would be nice to show Ratbat's rise to power.

Sounds like you're going 'Furminator' already...
