Toys to crossover SW RPG stats
|
While I was tossing and turning last night, I began thinking of some of my classic toys in RPG stats, and how to convert them. (Good sign of a bored mind that has gone over the edge into geekdom).
It started with a line called StarCom (Colleco, ~1987), but soon wandered arround to Centurions, ExoSquad, and others.
Questions I have: has anyone else come up with stats for this sort of thing? Would other people even be interested or care? In all of them, or just specific lines?
Bare in mind that I'm going to post strictly D6 stats, so D20 folks would have to convert. Anyone else who has already compiled stats will post in whatever formats s/he has.
Any takers, or is this too silly a topic?

I think, once upon a time, we did Predators, Aliens and a couple of mecha to D6. I'd have no idea where we left our conversions though...

Don't worry, Koohii, you're not the only one. I just hope you haven't been thinking of RPG stats for lego ships and characters from the various different genres and worlds like me.  
Though I'd certainly be interested in some d6 stats for the Zaku II, RX-78 Gundam, Guntank, and Guncannon from the original Mobile Suit Gundam; and GI JOE stats, especially in d6, have plenty of room for potential hilarity.
 @ the thought of Cobra Commander in d6.

The stats themsevles seem to be accurate, too. Well, as accurate as you can get for a GI JOE character.  Though if I had to nit-pick, I would imagine Cobra would have some skill in Willpower, but it's been forever since I've actually seen the cartoon, so I can't say for sure if that's suitable; all I remember are the ridiculous plots.
I like them.

When he says COOOOOOOOO-BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is it in a specific circumstance, or does he shout it at random. Because now I have the image of a man calmly eating dinner, then leaping to his feet and shrieking in a fit of rage: "COOOOOO-BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Yes, StarCom figs had magnetic feet. They also had the small vehicles that folded up into a std cargo-container size/shape. I thought they were very cool. Sold mine on eBay a couple months ago for a nice tidy sum over $800
Glad you liked the stats. Wasn't sure if you wanted comic book or cartoon. You're right about willpower--I forgot about that one and it wasn't one of the standards mentioned on the Cyborged Pirate template I based him on. 
I would see that as more of a toast at the beginning of the meal, or with the after-dinner cherry.

I love how the comic Cobra Commander is a disgruntled used car salesman.
Anyways, do a Transformer. How much damage would Megatron do in gun mode??

Transformers
Megatron (G1 original TV Cartoon Version)
Name: Megatron
Type: Decepticon Leader
Sex/Species: Male, Cybertronian
Age: ? (30's-50's)
Height: 32meters
Weight: 4000KG
Scale: Walker
Description: Giant robot with gun barrel mounted on right arm or a Walther PPK pistol.
DEX 3D+2
Blaster 10D
Dodge 7D

FP 3
DSP 9
Equipment: Command of Decepticons, Right Arm Cannon (10D), Energy weapon (Mace Str+2D requires 1 skill point per round to use), Alternate Mode--Gun(10D + up to 5 skill points)
Background: Some say the Decepticons were built as the military to defend Cybertron. Some say they were built by the Quintessons as their muscle to oppress the Autobot slaves. Some say other things. Some people will say anything. Regardless, Megatron is the first in a series of Megatrons to be the absolute leader of the decepticons. He is a skilled leader and diplomat, maneuvering any challengers to his leadership into exposing themselves and then destroying their possitions of challenge (and usually them too).
Personaliy: Slightly deranged, has anger-management issues. Not a bottle baby.
Objective: Galactic Domination
A Quote: "You may have won this time, Prime, but I will be back..."
Connection to other characters: Leader of all Decepticons, Enemy of every other sentient in the universe.
Notes:
Can fly both in atmosphere (100kmh) and through space (2D/4).
Before Transformers: The Movie, Megatron appears to have upgraded his firepower. This allowed him to add his DSP to the damage of his arm cannon, thereby greatly improving his killing power.
While he can hover in Gun-Mode, Megatron needs another Transformer to aim and fire. While in Gun-mode, Megatron can spend up to 5 skill points to increase his damage.
There are rumors that the stock and silencer of his gun mode can transform into a howitzer cannon, but like Optimus Prime's trailer/battle platform, this is never used in the cartoon.
Comic book versions some other time. Did I forget anything?

nah, although I don't understand the skill points/use (I never played 2nd edition d6 SWRPG)
also, armor?
I'd say going to gun mode takes a whole round, and he has no armor bunus while transforming or while in gun mode. He can take one un-aimed shot before he needs to be held to fire

Yeah, didn't think about armor. Part of the way I worked arround toughness was to make him a walker-sized creature (+6D to resist damage from human-sized weapons--He'd have 9D+2 to resist a human with a club doing a max of 5D+2, but that looks like armor is definately in order).
As for transforming, it is an action, possiblly 2. For each action beyond the first, all actions suffer a 1D penalty. Some episodes have Megatron transform and then fire immediately.

Megatron (G2 Tank Version)
Name: Megatron
Type: Decepticon Leader
Sex/Species: Male, Cybertronian

Tank mode:
Scale: Walker
MV: 2D
Speed: 3d+2 / 5 / 200kph
Equipment: Command of Decepticons, Cannon (12D physical Armor Piercing), Alternate Mode--Tank
Background: There appears to be some confusion about Megatron's history. At one point he was physically merged with Autobot Medic/Mechanic Ratchet during a SpaceBridge accident and placed into stasis to preserve both. Later, a battle-scarred Megatron emerges from space. What happened between these incidents is unknown. Another history has Megatron return to his previous form in order to later be turned into Galvatron by Unicron. Regardless, Megatron's return to Earth happened upon a Cobra test facility. Cobra had captured the USA's leading scientist in charge of a Rail-gun development program. While Megatron was busy entertaining himself by blowing up Cobra equipment, she aimed the prototype she'd developed at Megatron and fired. Megatron was so impressed by the damage wroght by the single shot (and the fact that the ammunition had achieved ballistic orbit AFTER passing though both sides of his armor) that he agreed to stop destroying Cobra equipment in exchange for a refit with this weapon as his primary offensive system. The US scientist included a virus in the software in an attempt to improve her situation and prevent an catostrophic loss of life should Megatron attack the US. Unfortunately, Megatron not only detected the "Crude & Childish" virus, but upgraded it and returned it to spread throughout Cobra's computers.
Personaliy: Domineering, but patient tactician. Truly believes in the supremacy of Cybertronians over all other fleshling species, and Decepticons superior to Autobots, inspite of the combat track record.
Objective: Galactic Domination
A Quote: "You may have won this time, Prime, but I will be back..."
Connection to other characters: Leader of all Decepticons, Enemy of every other sentient in the universe.
Notes:
Can fly both in atmosphere (100kmh) and through space (2D/4).
The RailGun turret is truly a devastating weapon. While based on physical damage instead of energy, it is none-the-less capable of punching through almost any armor, and destroying a battlecruiser with a single shot.
No explanation on the return to G1 Pistol version is ever provided.
History with Cobra derived from GIJoe Comics.
