Yeah, you can get lost there. They even have pages for facial hair. They also have a page for all of Optimus Prime's deaths, but that is pretty justified. Instead of letting a new leader pick up the reins(Rodimus) and let the characters grow, they just bring back Orion Pax. But at least it isn't as bad as Energon's character development, or lack there of. Decepticon with conflicted loyalties? Brainwash! Human who hates machines? Forget about it. Incidentally Transformers Energon was the first Transformers show I ever watched. It would have nostaglic value, but then I saw that...fighting tournement episode. Just avoid anything involving kiss players. Some things can never be unseen.

De'kra shakes his head in sadness that he was unable to harm any foe in any of the three battles the group had been in. Still, at least he had not been defeated in battle and now was a rank 4 rogue. The shade listened to hear how the rewards would be divided among the group.

OOC: I know, but I wasn't sure if the position has weaknesses. De'kra waited for the others to attack, hoping that the group could defeat the amphibian and the twin scorpions. The shade felt glad that the spider had been defeated, spiders after all were powerful foes that lived in massive hordes, ripping apart cities in their conquests. Though this spider here was alone, perhaps it was an exile from it's nation. Either way De'kra was glad that it now was rotting in the forest.

It's the former, just try to resist the urge to follow all the links.

De'kra clicks, "I attack frog, I weaken to help against scorpions." The short hero approaches the frog, hopping that it's attack power was something he could handle. He really didn't care to be defeated so early in a quest. Taking damage was fine, but not dying.

De'kra winces in pain as the scorpion pierces his form. The Hero doesn't collapse just yet, but he is in some pain. The shade glances around to see the others doing better, but doesn't dwell on it too much. Now the Sentiinal position should protect the team, so they can go all out.

[ Okay, right now I am on the cruel episode known as "And One Shall Fall." It has a cliffhanger bordering on pure evil, and things don't look good for a certain Autobot. Or maybe he is a Protoform infused with human DNA...no I trust them not to reuse that plot. Well there is a Transformers wiki, it has a lot of information on every franchise, starting from G1. I know for a fact that it has the prime voice actors listed on the Transformer's prime home page, but I must warn you of two things. One, it is not a Wikia, but an independent site. There is also a Wikia version, but it has less data. And two, the site is a little silly and some ways the site is laid out can be offensive.

That makes sense, hopefully I will remember to check in December, I keep missing out on the releases.

Wow, this is massive. The detail in the many body, tubes and beams and poles sprawled everywhere for great effect. The only thing that I am concerned with is that it s too big to be an effective fighter. Bombing would be fine, but I worry at this size it won't be very agile. By the way, why the green color?

Sorry, I keep forgetting that episodes don't air at the same time for everyone. Yeah, Jack is to balanced for me. Raf is interesting though, I wonder how he can understand Bumblebee so easily? The Autobots have an excuse, they worked with him for ages, but how can a human who has known him for a few months at most understand his beeps?

I am not sure, he/she has a stinger for sure, but it also possesses a proboscis. Perhaps it is intended just to be a random alien insect robot? Sharks don't have arms after all, but Jawblade does.

De'kra readied for battle and clicked, "Only glow scorpion not attacked. Last hero need to fight it." The shade didn't really flinch too much at having to fight these foes, the creatures would slay them if they didn't fight back. Of course, the Ranger could have tried to ask them to stop, but since they failed to dose De'kra assumed that the foes would not have listened.

De'kra deciders to attack the black Mopag Scorpion from the front row. That should leave the Mopag frog C, the Bioluminecent Mopag scorpion, and the snake unsttacked.

De'kra turned to the others and said, "Now good time for shovels? Also, Ranger might talk to creatures, creatures might have see raiders." The shade waited, to see what the other heroes would reply.

De'kra nods at the Mage and clicks, "Power dangerous in untrained hands, even kind hands. I remember villagers back home, but it not best recall. Villagers born powerless, and just work. But might-time villagers gain great power, and become heroes. It dangerous, home-heroes have no skill with power...or training, because no one know who gain power later. Heroes have to teach selves, and gain help of older heroes. Usually heroes good, thanks to teaching three veer chews, but few heroes think power means right. I not remember more, I only have memory of last year. I not know Eubric tongue when I wake up, only home tongue. Memories come back slow, I recall hero-memory after I see you great power."

Yeah, I can understand the appeal of Hero Factory, it just isn't for me. Bionicle had such a great plot, I remember writing my own stories based off of Bionicle. The first few stories started out pretty weird and ill formed, but in time they improved. And with the detailed back stories and mythology of Bionicle, you can easily create an alternate universe which is plausible. It was harder to understand and research than Hero Factory, unless you had early exposure, but in the end it was more rewarding. I can remember crying once while reading Wildfire in the BZPower library, when I finally understood what had happened that had doomed their universe. It was something small and insignificant, but for want of a nail had lead to a series of terrible events. Another thing that annoys me is how it effects my building style. I am horrible at making MOCs, at least of anything over the height of a 2008 Matoran. So instead I make tiny wildlife and weapons, and on occasion Agori/Matoran. I once made up an entire island of custom Matoran, using a body type made from a Vahki leg-waist, a four long rod, a Toa Metru upper leg joint, two three long cylinders, and two Inika feet. It wasn't very unique, but it gave me a way to create new exotic characters. But these new pieces have no easy way to link up with Technic parts, and I am not the best with creative use of parts. So the new parts have rendered me unable to make as many unique creations, like the Inika, though it may be only thanks to my own issues. I do like the sets, the joints and armor are well made and don't break for once, but I can't really use them to make small scale creations. Now I have seen some great creations on this site, like a double wide hero and many others. But for someone of my skill and price range, MOC has become much more difficult, in turn driving me away from the factory.

De'kra nodded that it might be a good idea to continue on their quest. They don't have to heal at the moment. The shade made a mental note to ask the Mage and dark power where she got her powers from, since she hadn't heard him the first time. There was something about her eruption of darkness that worried him.

De'kra nodded in understand, a rope could be useful. Thinking about using plants, De'kra got an idea. "Mage and green gem," the shade asked, "You control plants out of battle? Perhaps you clear path little?"

Good to know.

Currently I am reading the works of George Mann, specifically his steampunk series. The switch between the books taking place in victorian England to the ones in Jazz age United State is enjoyable, it really shows the contrast between the different eras and regions.

As De'kra slept a strange alien chatter flowed from his body. Inside his mind the shade saw flashes of something, though what it was escaped him. There was a familarity though, like he had seen it before. As he began to wake with the day, the Rogue caught sight of a memory of a strange blue and red figure, with a skull-like mask. De'kra looked around, and wondered who that figure had been.

I am not in denial that selling toys was how Bionicle started, but it grew to be much more. If it was only to sell toys why make the serials about characters we haven't see in years? There were no longer sets of the Nuva in 2006, but they were the main Toa of the first few novels in that year. Their last set was four years prior, and their pieces weren't even used anymore. Or why let fans create some content, since it stops you from making a set of that character? Sure, one could argue that fans might buy sets to MOC that character, but then why approve drawings and computer art, like all those Xian weapons and the images of certain characters? Why let a fan create the description for a creature sen briefly in a children's graphic novel? And even replica MOCs can be impractical, many pieces of the Tahtorak were out of circuation when that giant fan made Rahi was featured in a comic.

De'kra glanced over at the team, seeing the aftermath of Cinna's spell. Looking at the mage he clicked, "You have lot of dark power in you. How you get power in first place? You born with power, or you earn power?"

I have to say I enjoy it too, though I am native to the USA. It has a good plot by itself, and it is nice to see Megatron actually punishing Starscream. When you betray an evil warlord, you should be beaten within an inch of your life. I am curious as to how many times Optimus can say "One shall stand and one shall fall" before we all get sick of it. Yeah Airachnid's first episode is particularly dark, as the show can be in general. I think this is the only Transformers show where an Autobot died on the first episode, not to mention all those poor Vehicons. On the matter of their squishy pets, why do so many people hate Miko?

De'kra was glad that the team had succeeded, though he was a little annoyed that he had been unable to help in the battle. Still, the important thing was that they proved victorious over the two raiders. De'kra clicked, "Give reward to heroes who help most in battle?"
