This page is a repository for OC ideas , including things that are 'underdone' or just ideas that were too good to be ignored. Feel free to append to the list if you have a cool idea or picture.

Disclaimer: No approvability intended. Ideas contained on this page are not guaranteed to be approved by character staff, although ideas that are deemed inappropriate will be trimmed. Be sure to review the Rare and Rejected file.

Altmode Ideas

Vehicle Modes

  • Invisible car!
  • Half-track trucks
  • small- to mid-size construction equipment
  • Aquatic or amphibious vehicles


Bike Modes

It turns out there's a ton of crazy bikes out there!

Flying Vehicle Modes

  • Hoverbikes and hovercars.
  • Helicopters
  • Unusual or modified jet fighters.

Animal Modes

Animal altmodes are "rare" and generally require additional justification and application quality. Insecticon or animal cassette robots are more common. Felines, canines, and dinosaurs are particularly overdone.

some animal ideas that haven't been seen include:

  • Seahorse
  • Moth
  • Crab
  • Jumping spider
  • Ox
  • Iguana
  • Bighorn sheep/Ram
  • Sharks
  • Crow, Raven, Bluejay, Cardinal
  • Cobra


Name Ideas

Names that overlap G1 sources (Like G1 Marvel comic characters, the plethora of Micromasters or Nebulon partners) should be avoided. Names from non-G1 sources (Generation 2, Beast Wars, modern toylines like Powercore combiners, etc) can be ok at times, although a recycled G2 name, for example, should not be attached to a character who is a direct copy of the same G2 character ('For example, Blowout is a borrowed G2 name, but the character is not a ripoff of the G2 Blowout.)

TACS Build Ideas

Resupply is also a bit under-represented. E-Senses and Radar can be helpful in certain circumstances, but are not great choices for OCs on a budget. (FTL and Jamming are also technically under-represented among OCs, but are not particularly recommended for OCs)

  • Energon-management effects/abilities such as Charge, Refuel, Drain, Feed or Heavy also do not see a lot of use, presenting an opportunity for either characters that build up/steal Energon with Charge or Feed or characters that punish Energon use by their opponents with Drain or Heavy. Drain and Feed are often paired, but using them separately offers some different creative options!
  • There are several Damage Type that nobody is currently "specializing" in for a significant Protection or Weakness. Fire ,Sound, and Acid have been done, but that still leaves Electricity, Magnetic, Plasma, Ballistic, Explosive, Air, and Water. OCs can apply for as much as +8 (with a countering weakness).
  • Special attacks can help to differentiate a character. giant extendable claws, giant scary chainsaw, swarm of voracious robot locusts!

There are also other documents with build ideas such as Sample Attacks and Sample Builds.

Concepts

  • Insecticons! Typically Insecticons have third, tiny mode; The extra mode is essentially free, since it's tiny size costs minus 4 CP. Insecticons have a special dispensation concerning total sizes; They do not need to meet 13 total sizes. See the Insecticon page for more!
  • Junkions! Junkcycles are the standard, but not the only option. Junkions have some extra chargen rules, mostly concerning a lower armor value (but they get extra stuff to make up for it!)
Idea2

Unused Microman concept

  • An OC tape based on an unused Microman concept- A tape with a motorcycle mode, or a triple-changing tape with a robot mode and a motorcycle mode.
Idea3

Powerdive

  • toy molds from more recent toylines are ok, too, just have a look at Carjack who is based on the Smolder toy from the PCC line. (Note: Discussing OCs based on these toys, not as feature characters)
  • Rangers, poachers, hunters from the mountain ranges (Cuprahex, Manganese, Cable Jungles)
  • Hotel bellhops, managers, dealers, pit bosses from Altihex’s casinos, entertainers
  • Smelting Pool laborers, harvester operators, prison guards from Kaon
  • Submariners, professional surfers and sailors from the Mercury Isles
  • Wrecked shuttle salvage, starcruiser pilots, airport security, desert escort from the Rust Seas
  • Neutral armorists from Yuss, survivalists from Stanix (acid wastes)
  • Teachers, medical professors and students, test subjects from Protihex
  • Law enforcement from Tarn
  • Lawyer types from Tyger Pax
  • Pest control and mechanimal wranglers from the cybertronian swamplands
  • Miners from Cybertron Underground or the Sonic Canyons
  • Racers from Ibex
  • Dark science merchants/practitioners and shady salesmechs from Kalis
  • Refugee philosophers/theoreticians from Nova Cronum
