Rodimus Prime's Logs Page

logs.gif (1592 bytes)


	This TP ran for about a month in Fall '96. Absolutely fantastic RP from all involved; these logs are a MUST-READ. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Cat's out of the bag	Caern discovers the "project" going on in the lab and isn't too happy about it.
Trouble with the femmes	Another ethical debate. Whiz goes ballistic!
Matrix theory	Spike, Daniel and Rod try to figure out the best way to retrieve Optimus' memories.
Inspiration!	A short one. Rodimus has an epiphany and asks Firestar about lucid dreaming.
It's aliiiive-- no, wait	The grand attempt at reawakening the big guy falls flat on its face, nearly killing Rodimus in the process.
The Return	Enough said. Very long log. Cons attack Washington DC and Optimus shows up to save the day (as per his usual).
The Untold Story	What really happened in the lab when Optimus woke up. Explains Whiz's discomfort later, though of course none of us knew ICly...
Angst	Rod struggles with the whole Chosen One thing, while Whiz tries to talk him down. This is a good one.
The Passing	Whoops, someone cracked. Exeunt Rodimus Prime... uh, hi, Hot Rod....
Trying to adjust	A brief "reunion" with Daniel, then a lot of blame-tossing with Magnus et al... and the Militants wanted to steal my BALL!
Death, life, and future plans	Dreamflight's suicide leaves the Autobots in shock, and Optimus confused. Oh, and Rod gets promoted, much to his chagrin.
Persecution	This is a short one. Chromia does her best to make Rod feel bad and gets clocked for her trouble. Hee hee.
War Council & Militant Ambush	Optimus reveals his plan to eradicate the Decepticons. The Militants later manage to lure him into a trap, resulting in a broken back for Tempest Mankiller.
Devastator attacks Memorial	A little retribution after Optimus demands the Decepticons' surrender. This log is mostly combat, degenerating into silliness in the medbay toward the end, when I lagged out.
Analysis	Some discussion in the medbay over Optimus' motives.
Stirrings of concern	Chromia comes up with the idea Optimus may be destroying the Matrix(?)
Whiz's confession	Whiz admits what she was really doing in the lab that night, and convinces Rod to ask Optimus to relinquish the Matrix.
Mutiny on the Bounty	Some wild theories fly, and outright mutiny becomes a distinct possibility, much to Hot Rod's chagrin.
Excursion into the catacombs	Part 1 of the grand finale. Hot Rod leads a covert team into the bowels of Cybertron, hoping to tunnel up under Darkmount and catch the Cons by surprise.
The Last Battle	This one is LONG. First part is mostly combat, wherein Rod finally finds his spine and takes command back from Optimus, then the wrapup in medbay.
Epilogue	Rodimus and Whiz and some injury-induced silliness. A nice capstone to round off the Revival TP.

	The Army of Darkness TP was intended as a campy Halloween idea, but scheduling difficulties pushed it up to November '96. No one seemed to mind the time-shift.
	Part One	Mostly setup. Lots of Junkion stuff.
	Part Two	This is where it gets weird. Ash-Gar is great.

	The Humanizing TP, based loosely on the episode "Only Human," was run in winter '97. I've only found a few logs from it, but will accept donations if you have any.
Intro Part 1	The transformation and initial confusion. Spammy.
Intro Part 2	Rod gets his hand chomped by Slag; we get back to Iacon and raid the pantry.
Intro Part 3	Rod whining to Whiz and Krystal, mostly. What happened to the Matrix?
Alex Roberts, Deadbeat Dad	Hard Copy takes advantage of the humanized Rod in the form of a child-support scandal. This one's great.


	Refugees from 8 million years in the future travel back in time to stop a catastrophic revolution before it can occur. Some very nice (and occasionally poignant) RP from all involved. This ran in spring '97. Another MUST-READ!

Back from the Future	The first bit is broken by puppetspam. Anything prefaced by "Rodimus Prime>" is stuff happening in the present, while the rest is from the future travellers' perspective.
Reunions	The travellers try to explain their position and meet a few old (and sometimes dead) friends along the way.
Before the Storm	The travellers try to deal with the first stirrings of the Uprising.
Reflections	A conversation between Rod and Flamediver, then with Whiz and Outrun.
More Matrix angst	Legend breaks into the AHQ lab to destroy Prime's body, and the Matrix ends up -- briefly -- in Rod's hands. In the meantime, the Primitives set up shop in New Vilnacron.
Bull session	Magnus and the future people try to figure out a plan to stop Sky Lynx; Rod tries to come to grips with the Legend incident.
Playing catchup	Rod spills the beans on the Legend thing to Whiz. Short but sweet.
Confession	Whiz admits what's really been bugging her the past 8 million years.
The Chase	The raid on Vilnacron and subsequent tracking of the fleeing Sky Lynx to Monacus.
The Confrontation	We track down Sky Lynx on Monacus and try to talk him down.
Accusations fly	Rod & Co. try to talk some sense into the captured Sky Lynx, without much success.
Coordination	The future travellers meet with Galvatron and the Decepticons to discuss battle plans.
The Mind's Eye	Rod, Whiz and Krystal make a VR journey into Sky Lynx's neural net to communicate with his real self.
Introspection	Rod beats himself over the head with the Matrix idea some more. Ethics, morality, and speculation as to what'll happen if they DO succeed...
Sky Lynx escapes!	Relatively short log. Sky Lynx grabs a hostage and breaks out of Iacon while the other Primitives beat down the gates.
Grand Finale	With the Quints' help, we come up with a countervirus and deploy it at the battle royale with Trypticon. Present selves wake up to mass confusion, but what happened to the time-travellers...? (NOTE: I am missing the log previous to this, where we coerce the Quintessons into helping. If you have a copy, please contact me.)
Epilogue	The final showdown between Rodimus and Sky Lynx in the future, with the Matrix caught in the balance. Was the whole mission in vain?

The Monacus Olympics are held every two years (one year realtime), offering Tranformers, Humans and myriad aliens alike the chance to pit their skills in races, battles and team sports.

'97 Racing	Opening ceremonies, and both land and aerial races.
'97 Rodimus vs Motormaster	We both get disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct. This one's good.
'97 Smashball	The evil Quintessons' involvement in this year's Olympics revealed.
'98 Racing	Opening ceremonies for the 2011 games, and both race events.
'98 Basketball part 1	The Autobots versus an independent alien team.
'98 Basketball part 2	The rivalry heats up on court between the Autobot and Decepticon teams.
'98 Combat	Sky Lynx vs Cyclonus, Trigger vs Spoiler, Sideswipe vs Divebomb. For those of you who like watching combat RP. :>

	We've done a series of Flashback TPs here and there, where we turned the clocks back to 2005 and RP'd events right after the movie. Fun for those of us who missed out on the very beginning of the MUSH, and great for building character backgrounds, too.
Flashback 1	This one picks up right after the movie. Some great RP, despite the bad lag that night.
Flashback 2	A few days after the movie, Rodimus and Whiz discuss changes.
Flashback 3	A few hours after the movie, Sky Lynx finds Rodimus alone and gives him a piece of his mind.
Flashback 4	This picks up just after Flashback 1 left off.
Meeting Krystal	A day or so after the movie, Krystal and Rodimus meet for the first time.

	The Junkitive FX is a wanted bot; wanted for a crime he didn't commit! It was the one-armed Quint, honest! Join Autobot Marshal Caern as he attempts to track down his quarry. (logged by FX)
	Part One
	Part Two
	Part Three

	My Audition for Rodimus Prime is ancient (Feb '96), but I'm still pretty proud of it, despite some lines that still make me wince because I was typing too fast. Scenario by Brent Stocking, assisted in running by Brandie Tarvin.
	Rodimus Prime Audition	Rodimus travels inside the Matrix and has to face his greatest fears.

Male-bonding	Rodimus and Ed Bryant share a tender moment. I left some of the OOC commentary in this one.
The Three Stooges	The most incompetent trio of robbers in history tries to hold up the Lincoln Center. Bored TP staff with puppets!
Seabase Attack	The Autobots launch a massive assault on Charr and use the Spacebridge there to transport into the Decepticon undersea base on Earth, resulting in its destruction.
Quacks	Brent lends the Autobots his medical.. err, expertise.
Militant Mudfight	The Militants and Benefactors being... well, themselves... (adult language)
Drinking Contest	Rod, Kup and Firestar challenge each other to a drinking contest, resulting in a rather... surly Rod.
In the Afterlife	Rodimus and Whiz convince Headstrong he's killed them all. Now to bury him...
Caern's Autopsy	Logged from the technician Fielder's perspective, a medical team tries to determine the cause of the Autobot Security Director's death.
Fight with Elita	What started out as an angry shouting match took a dive in a different direction when a rebuilt Megatron showed up and threatened Elita's and Ultra Magnus' lives.
Twins	It's a girl.. and a boy! Krystal finally gets down to business and has those babies.
Karaoke	Rod and Whiz do an improv rendition of "I Got You, Babe." This one had us all rolling on the floor laughing.
Moonshine Zombies	An OOC log of Scourge (Shaun2) and Brent screwing around on channel. And you thought Army of Darkness was bad....
Photon's Return	Photon rejoins the Autobots after a long stint with the EDC, and Computron has some fun at Polyhex. (logged by Photon)
The Magic Box	Some impromptu RP between Scur-Vee, Snowball, Pathfinder, and FX involving a practical joke about the nature of the relationship between Junkions and the television. (logged by Scur-Vee)
When the Server's Down...	Ever wonder what the characters are doing when we're not connected to them? (written by Whiz)
