TFBlogs Bitching

Because it's my journal and I can whine if I want to.

Warning: I am bleeding copiously from my crotch. This is affecting my judgement in regards as to whether or not anything is a personal attack. It is also making me extremely angry. Deal with it.

So, I play the Constructicons on tfblogs. Because I'm a crazy little bitch who likes trying to write six different people who share the same user account. My characterization probably sucks, too, but what the hell.

Anyways, the Constructicons. Who are kind of bored without Megatron around to tell them to build silly weapons. So, they've been building people, repairing people, repairing the ship, and otherwise keeping themselves occupied. Once they even got to go off and attack the Ark.

All fine and dandy, right?

What I'd like to know is why in the Nine Hells of Baatezu, most of the Decepticons want to avoid Hook when they need repairs?! I'm not playing him as a sadist, though I'd be more than happy to if that's what they want! I've been playing him as aiding and abetting Scrapper and being the straight man in some of the gags with the Constructis... So why avoid him? I can get avoiding Scrapper, but Hook? Especially when you're broken six ways from Sunday because you decided to tangle with a whole bunch of Autobots after escaping from Ratchet?!

So, yeah, not getting that. At all.

Note: This next little bit is from an IC point-of-view.

And then there's the new Decepticon medic showing up. Okay, fine, he's for whatever plot Shockwave is working on. And apparently Shockwave, ICly, doesn't feel he can trust the Constructicons. (Hint: Don't give a massively skilled architect plans for how to build something cinchy. Just tell him what you want it to do and let him design the thing his own damn self.)

But, wow, is the shit ever going to hit the fan when Hook runs into this guy. 'Cause, hey, getting replaced as the major Decepticon repair specialist on Earth? Not going to thrill him. Was Shockwave thinking at all when he let Klank just announce himself to God and everybody?

Hands up, everyone who wants the Constructicons turning passive-aggressive against the rest of the 'cons, while they otherwise work on making their unhappiness known to the world at large?

The mess that's going to result from this might be enough for me to bring Megatron back from the back of beyond. Because it looks like it'll be a while before he can run into Jinx, and I can royally mess with him for fun and whackiness.

I would like to disclaim that as the player, I rather like Klank. However, Hook doesn't. Scrapper is not going to. Mixmaster is not going to. Long Haul is not going to. Bonecrusher is not going to. Scavenger is going to be pressured into not liking him.

Megatron, Reflector, and Oikodomopolis don't really care right now. And I need to decide if I'm going to do anything with Blitzwing or just toss him at the mods and say, "Catch."
