G2 Roadblock and Dirtbag Bios (WIP)

Postby primalxconvoy » Mon May 11, 2015 6:11 am

Hi folks,

Below are some bios that I was playing around with, basically for the new "TF: Adventure"/"combined Universe" version of Roadblock (and a possible repaint of a possible remake of Landfill as Dirtbag).

I used Tfwiki, plus related sources for the bios, with a few tweaks here and there by me. Also, just as Roadblock's Targtmaster homages a certain Minicon collector, then I thought it fair to create a bio for a possible Targetmaster, based upon another (legendary?) minicon collector.

Pictures were taken from Tfwiki and edited via smartphone.

Image

Name: Roadblock (ロードブロック Rōdoburoku)

Alias: Dozermaster
ID number: EX P2/TAV 07
Function: Front-Line Demolitions and Clearance
Sub-group/s: Autorollers/Chaos Target Masters/

Strength: 8
Intelligence: 3
Speed: 4
Endurance: 8
Rank: 4
Courage: 8
Firepower: 6
Skill: 5

Motto: "Get out of my way... now!"

Bio: Roadblock is a loud and angry combat engineer who bullies anyone weaker or smaller than he is, especially his new Targetmaster partner, Groundbreaker. His other current mission partner, the Commando Rollbar , tolerates his abrasive behaviour, but detests his slow physical and mental abilities during scouting missions. Roadblock isn't scared of anything, though; preferring to bulldoze or blow up installations, while slicing-up and clearing away Autobot wreckage at the front lines with his combat saw.


Image Name: Groundbreaker (グラウンドブレイク Guraundobureiku)
ID Number: EX P2

Function: Geologist/Infiltrator.

Group: Target Master
Motto: "Out of sight, out of mind."

Bio: Formerly a disgraced Cybertronian geologist, Groundbreaker quickly joined the Decepticons to continue his studies. His reformatted cannon mode shoots specialised "Penetrator" shells, featuring explosive drill-tips. These can bore through enemy fortifications, Autobots and strata like a energon-blade through hot axle-grease. In robot mode, Groundbreaker prefers prolonged scouting missions, both to locate enemy installations for his belligerent partner, Roadblock, to demolish, and to continue with his studies of microminerals without being bullied.

Notes: The "microminerals" references the "yo dawg" meta-reference of micromaster collecting, while the long absense of Groundbreak(er) from Roadblock makes him perhaps the first "long-distance relationship" Targetmaster
in history.

Name: Dirtbag
Group: Auto Rollers/Targetmasters
Function: Supplies/Clearance

Strength: 8
Intelligence: 3
Speed: 2
Endurance: 9
Rank: 4
Courage: 6
Firepower: 7
Skill: 4

Motto: "Move it or lose it!"

Bio: When the Decepticon Commandos are entrenched in battle against the Autobots, the lumbering, highly armoured Dirtbag is the one tasked with carrying munitions to his fellow troops, or debris from the battlefield. His function requires the titanium/steel composite armor that both protects him and hinders his role in offensive attacks. Luckily, his double-shot missiles, new Targetmaster partner, Recon and crusher-claw can keep most long range and melee attackers at bay, even if he can't support his allies directly. His low intelligence and high endurance, helps him weather even his fellow Auto-Roller, Roadblock's, ornery.


Name: Recon
Function: Cybonicist/Logistician
Motto: "Never let your spear contradict your shield"

Bio: Recon is a fastidious collector of information; able to procure facts and evidence for his research in CNA as easily as ensuring Dirtbag's supply-load and route is always correct. Recon's weapon mode, a standard-issue electro pistol, is augmented by a built-in electrostatic shield, capable of emitting shock-pulses against melee attacks. However, shooting in pistol mode will immediately deplete the shield. Although Dirtbag won't admit it, he appreciates the logistics and extra protection Recon provides, while Recon can study inside Dirtbag's safe, protected armour on long hauls.

(NOTE:
- Recon is a homage to Italian Minicon collector, Alessandro "Rikkomba" Riccombeni. The name is a morphing of his surname into "Recon", with the shield mode a reference to the meaning of his first name, "Alessandro", which means "Defender of Man".

Recon's scientific field, "cybonics", is the Cybertronian study of "CNA", as a homage to Alessandro's PHD specialism in " Genomics".

Recon's motto is a paraphrase of a Chinese proverb, stating that owning an impenetrable shield AND an unstoppable weapon is impossible, which again homages Alessandro's name, with the shield and motto use homage to similar shields and mottos used in the "Borderlands" franchise games.)

As a bonus, i made this bio card for a young lad in the Uk. my mum wanted me to get him a "Japan only Transformer", so i got him "Green-Jeeper" (AKA: Rollbar) and made this for him to print, cut out and keep as a bio-card. This then inspired me to write the bios mentioned above, and elicited my idea of the Auto-Rollers currently acting as Combat engineers and Suppliers for (or under the protection of) the Decepticon "Commando" special team.

here's the bio card

(Please excuse any formatting errors, as I typed, photo edited and uploaded this to your screens via my smartphone. The comments about "Japanese English" are basically true, but I kept it simple for a child and his Mum to understand, without being more specific about L1 transfer errors into English by Japanese learners of English, etc. Apologies if they seem too generalised. No offense meant.)

Cheers. Apologies about the lack of pictures. The hosting company erased them and my original phone that made them went t*ts-up, so they're lost...
