Transformers?

[Thuvasa3]

Just to aggravate my friend, I came up with the following idea. He got a kick out of it, so I thought I would share it with you all too.

Here goes:

Iron Gods could have the same plot as the original Transformers cartoon. Intelligent, giant robots fight a war across space. Their ship crash lands on a primitive planet. Millions of years pass...then...they wake up.

What CR is Megatron?

trolling or serious question bout Megatron's CR?

[Fergurg]

75

[Xzaral]

CR 29. Simply so we can up him to 30 as Galvatron.

[Thuvasa3]

re: Galvatron--Nice!

And no, not trolling (a bit harsh, don't you think?). I suppose I don't really want the CR, but I did think that it was somewhat interesting that in many ways the Numerian concept is similar to the original transformers cartoon, in that you have a giant, ancient, alien spacecraft on a planet of relative primitives who have no idea what to do with it/make of it.

There is a (horrible) episode in the 3rd or 4th season where the Transformers go to a sword and sorcery world by falling through some ancient quintesson portal where a quintesson who was banished for the "crime of sorcery" has set up shop as a ruling wizard, etc.

I.e. Dungeons and Dragons and Dinobots.

Just wondering if anyone else got any delight out of the idea of it.

I just went and hunted this down on Netflix. It's season 2, episode 22, A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court.

Spoiler:

It's really terrible.

Isn't there a Transforming Construct Template in the Advanced Bestiary?

[Samy]

No, Thuvasa is talking about the episode in 3rd season, quintessons didn't exist in seasons 1-2 yet. Daniel and Grimlock go through a portal and are transported to a medieval prison world or something, Ultra Magnus, with Blaster and the cassettes follow to rescue them.

I like the idea!

Megatron's Cannon:
60-ft line that deals 10d6 Fire Damage + 10d6 Electricity + 10d6 Arcane damage.

PEW PEW!

I think I made a joke in one of these threads about Megatron being the APs final boss, before correcting myself and going with Galvatron or Unicron

[Pendagast]

curious, why do people think galvatron is more powerful than megaton?

Because he looked cooler?

I was always under the assumption it was pretty much the same villain, in space…

[Samy]

Pistol vs cannon.

Probably because he was given greater strength from unicron.

[The Black Bard]

Galvatron: Megatron with Advanced Template.

Or it could be a complete rebuild, but I'd have to dig out my Transformer Universe issues and look at their actual stats and abilities.

That does prompt a big question: which Megatron? Bayformers, Prime, Beast Wars, or Gen 1? Or Armada, Energon, Beast Machines, etc etc.

Lets not go with G1. 3/day Black Hole Cannon is going to be a bit over the top.

Galvatron when Unicron functioned was more powerful then Megatron. When he died Megatron is more powerful. Galvatron's cannon was electricity damage only. Granted he turned Starscream to ash but still just electricity. One spell and no damage from him. Megatron's cannon was a Fusion cannon untype energy and then he tapped into a black hole for increased damage.
Galvatron was only cool in the movie because it was voiced by the late great Lenoard Nimoy
