Transformers Universe Theme

The Transformers Universe MUX is a place to roleplay in the Transformers/ G.I. Joe universe.

The MUX is primarily based on the Transformers cartoon and G.I. Joe comic. The MUX takes place in the present, in real time.

Most of the major G.I. Joe characters are considered themely, and with a few exceptions, most of the Marvel run of the US G.I. Joe comic is canon, and considered past history. General Hawk leads the Joes; Cobra Commander leads Cobra. Although the new comic hasn't been worked into theme (and can't, directly, without modifications, since we have had ongoing Joe RP since 1997), many aspects of the comic will be added as the comics progress, and with luck a cool synthesis will emerge. If you have any specific theme questions concerning the TFU theme, ask the admin!

For the Transformers, a unique history has been crafted for the MUX, inspired by the U.S. pre-movie cartoon. The MUX takes place where the first two seasons leave off -- Optimus still leads the Autobots, and Megatron leads the Decepticons. It is the year 2001, and Unicron arrived early -- in 1997 -- and has been destroyed. Players can RP Autobots, Decepticons, Junkions, and Quintessons, as well as humans.

Transformers players can play any character from the first few seasons of the Transformers cartoon (Prime v. Megatron), in addition to many movie characters (Daniel, Springer, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Arcee, Wreck-Gar); Sky Lynx; the Battlechargers (Runabout and Runamuck); the Jumpstarters (Top Spin and Twin Twist); the Terrorcons; the Technobots; the Predacons; the Triple-Changers (Broadside, Octane, and Sandstorm, as well as Springer, Astrotrain, and Blitzwing), and a few others inspired by the comic (Circuit Breaker, G.B. Blackrock, et al).

NOT themely (except for TPs) are Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, or any characters introduced during "The Return of Optimus Prime" (Punch, the Throttlebots, etc), "Rebirth" (*Masters, etc.), or any of the Japanese episodes (Star Saber, etc). Cyclonus and Scourge have a slightly different history, and are available right now only as TP characters.

G.I.Joe players can play most of the characters from the Joe comics that are still alive (for those no longer living/available, see the G.I. Joe Team Casualty Report at JMM's G.I. Joe Comics Home Page), and most of the never-seen toy-based Joes, as well, subject to admin approval. To get a list of available Joe FCs, log onto the MUX and type +fcheck. Unthemely are any Joes or Cobra exclusive to the movie, including all Cobra-La characters (Sorry!).

Player-created Joe characters are extremely rare, but may be available upon approval of the MUX Charstaff and G.I.Joe CoC. Players are welcome to apply for OC Vipers, who may have the opportunity to eventually advance to code-named status. For Viper ideas, try YOJOE.COM.
