STUPID MARY SUES! STUPID BORING CHARACTERS WITH NO LIFE OR QUIRKS!!! DO THEY HAVE A PERSONALITY?! DO THEY HAVE EVEN ONE FLAW?!

Importance of a flaw makes your OC perfect. They make them good and interesting.

Like Nightcore. She may be strong in close combat, but she can't handle guns or anything related to shooting. She has determination, but she also has the stubbornness factor that mostly causes her disputes with others. She's impatient, but will listen if you are reasonable. And a suggestion would be to NOT bring her on a stealth mission

But let us move on to the 4 Types of Characters found in the Transformers Fandom.

CYBERTRONIAN

A species from planet Cybertron, they are similar to a giant 25-ft robot who have the ability to shift their metal into an alt mode, most preferably a vehicle. They are similar to humans in actions and personality, also in general idea.

So here is a general form for your OC, with a mini note to help.

~Designation: A name. A request was stated that I was needed to inform you readers that Human names is not allowed. So, we can not have a Cybertronian named Emily. But I use human names too, except in other languages.

~Age: How old are they? Add stellar cycles as the age. So Nightcore would be 24 Stellar Cycles

~Faction: They're in war, so they have a faction. That faction plays a key role in your OC's life and actions. Are they Neutral? Autobot? Decepticon?

~Alt Mode: That will determine they're general armor. If they transform into a ground vehicle/land animal, they will not be able to fly. It can also determine their function in the team. It's also alright to have no T-Cog (the organ for them to Transform) for it can be a flaw or a difficulty in transformation.

~Gender: Femme or Mech?

~Physical Appearance: What do they look like? ^^Protoform: Basically their 'skin' color. Like TFP OP's silver spots is his protoform, his face, ect,
^^Armor: Kinda their permanent clothes. TFP OP's armor would be red and blue, along with overlapping shoulder pads.
^^Optic Color: Choose any color honestly. It's optics
^^Extra: Do they have wheels as peds like Movie Sideswipe? Do they have door wings like TFP Bumblebee? Do they have a visor? Or mask? Maybe heels?

~Status Class/Rank: Is it scout? Wrecker? Maybe spy? Each class will somewhat add in to your OC

~Personality: Thats what I was talking about earlier. They need to have a personality that will make them unique. That is also what makes them themselves.

~Weapons: What's they're preferred weapon if they have one?

~Past: Experience forms the person. But no, you can not have your OC weep 24/7. Maybe a few times? Sure. Nightmares, fears, anything like that can form them. Nightcore lost her whole family, took awhile to get over with it, and now she got the habit of punching the wall and break her wrist plates instead of weeping because 'It makes her feel weak and useless'

So therefore, this is a practical Cybertronian.

And this is a simplified version:

Name:
Age:
Alt-Mode:
Faction:
Physical Appearance:
Rank:
Personality:
Weapon:
Past/Background:

Now, next chapter will be TOs, as we are still explaining OCs and their forms, then Humans, and Other

Adios!
