Hi everyone! I found you all through a link on the DC: United We Stand site. This place looks great!
It looks like you're looking for a Shockwave, which is brilliant, as he just happens to be my favorite Decepticon. If that's still true, then I'll be getting my character application up and hopefully approved shortly!
Looking forward to killing some Autobots and their mewling Earthling followers writing with everyone!

Hi there, and welcome to Transformers Prime: Convergence! I'm glad to know that our hard work affiliating and advertising is paying off and that you were able to find us as a result. At the moment, another member has posted a WIP for Shockwave, but if, for whatever reason, they do not complete their application, please do feel free to apply!
Do not hesitate to jump in and plot with others when you're ready. If you need help or have questions about anything, don't be afraid to ask, either, as everyone is happy to help. Feel free to PM me for an invite to the forum Skype group, if you feel comfortable sharing your Skype details + joining us. I look forward to plotting and roleplaying with you! c:

Hello~! Welcome to Convergence! I may be the newest Mod, but I'm also happy to help if the main admins are unavailable. We would love to RP with you, and I know that the Decepticons are a bit outnumbered at the moment. Even though Shockwave is currently undergoing an application process, there are still plenty of Decepticons available, especially the ones from Robots in Disguise 2015.

Excellent. I'll keep my eyes on the approvals thread. Quick question: how much canon are players expected to know? I'd consider myself a more casual fan. I've seen most of the original cartoon series, all of Transformers Prime, and the movies, and have only read a few issues of the IDW comics (currently reading the "All Hail Megatron" series). Will people help to keep me honest, or are things more casual so long as I understand site canon?

While our main plotline is an AU from the beginning of the first season, we still generally recommend our members to have at least seen Transformers: Prime. No knowledge of other continuities is really needed -- though it might help you understand some of the references we make in-character as well as in our plot-related threads! -- but certainly no one will be jumping on you if you don't happen to know a few obscure factoids. It's pretty casual cc:
((I also highly recommend reading More Than Meets The Eye if you get the chance! It's absolutely fantastic))

Hi everyone, I'm still here! Did Shockwave get submitted/approved? I don't see a character record under submissions or accepted characters, so would still like to claim him if he's available. If not, cool, I'd be happy to take center stage as Overload!

The person who was applying for Shockwave withdrew their application, so you're good to make an account and apply for him!

Hello~ From my understanding the one who initially was going to apply for Shockwave has changed their minds, so I believe he is fair game. As for Overload, I had once thought of bringing him in myself, but I am more than happy to let you take him. As a former Overload rper, I would love to see this guy in action again. Not to mention I'd love to have more RiD Decepticons for Steeljaw to interact with. Counter you ninja. Lol!!!!

When composing the character's history, how much detail are you looking for? I don't want to just copy & paste from the Transformers Wiki, but honestly there are pages and pages of data, depending on what continuity we're looking at. Am I okay to just rewrite the Transformers Prime data? Can I pick and choose from other continuities if I think it adds color to the character?

We aren't really looking for much detail for a character's history. Ideally, it would just be a short summary (two to three paragraphs) of the character's story before the beginning of Transformers Prime, and an explanation of how they ended up on Earth etc.
You can also absolutely take elements from other continuities, provided they fit in with the Transformers: Prime + Aligned universe lore.
