Please disregard this thread I am a completely blind idiot who can't read apparently.  Sorry for making more work for the mods.

Tactical Operations / Is C3 supposed to work with Chameleon LPS?
« Last post by Lincolnator on 18 April 2024, 23:45:56 »
I know that a unit is not allowed to mount C3 or boosted C3 with stealth armor or nullsig, and even if they did those two systems explicitly cause a self-ECM effect while active that blocks the C3 connection or causes the stealth to be ineffective (in the case of boosted C3), but I can't find any rules about CLPS interacting with C3 systems.  I might just be blind.

I know that Nova CEWS is an exception specifically for nullsig, and presumably for CLPS as well, but I couldn't find anything about that interacting with CLPS, either.

No, that was Challenge of the Go-Bots were they developed the ability to transform as part of the war.  Though I haven't seen every episode of Transformers G1, they could have put it into an episode that I didn't see.  There were at least two mutually exclusive origins for both the Dinobots and Constructions in the cartoon, after all.  But like I said, the standard explanation was that they were built as a slave race by the Quintessons with the ability to transform as part of their roles: Autobots, built for domestic labor and construction, turned mostly into cars and trucks, while Decepticons, built primarily for combat, mostly turned into jets and other war machines.

In the comics, Transformers had "evolved from naturally occurring pullies and gears" and the ability to transform was innate from the get-go.

I rarely if ever saw the cartoon, but collected MOST if not all the comics in the UK..  And that's how i remember it too..  PLUS if they were 'supposed to have been built" by the Quintessons, HOW THEN Does that explain Primus (their planet) or the creation matrix/??

Exosquad ripped off the Mad Cat, that lawsuit is what led to Harmony Gold suing FASA and the emergence of the Unseen.

The Periphery / Re: Independent Periphery Worlds- HBS paradigm shift
« Last post by RifleMech on 18 April 2024, 23:05:51 »
I think many border worlds would have consulates and merchants that favor one faction over another. Dropping troops on independent worlds though comes either under invasion or special ops. If the former, the world may not be independent long. If the latter, they're going to be operating away from the locals to keep their operations secret. Considering the size of a planet, a military or business can easily operate out of a sparsely populated planet without anyone knowing. I would think that they would be clandestine operations. If others knew about it, they'd seek to shut it down.

The Periphery / Re: MoC MIM

Yeah, there's still a little bit of mystery, but nothing that really goes one way or another beyond the obvious. I was thinking maybe the MIM might have used Augmented Personnel during the Succession Wars to get a boost on operations, but nothing really indicates that.

How are the Mad Cat and Commando technically from other games?

1.  I missed Commando was even on the list. Doh!

2.  I was thinking the MadCat was ripped off from Exosquad, but maybe I have that reversed & the toy came after the T-Wolf was released?

Either way I'm still saying Atlas since I was ignoring the Robotech models.
