So My Character Owns A Truck - Thaal Sinestro - 08-26-2015
So if I wanted a character to use their vehicle in combat, like, to run people over and to mount machine guns and shit on, I would assume you'd need the appropriate moves and etc. I mean, this goes for pretty much ALL big mounts I would assume, so I figure this might answer a few questions for people.
Ok, so, I would assume that I would treat the Truck as an Assist, because the character and the vehicle are separate entities and all. I guess the argument could be made that while she is outside the truck it isn't really doing anything, and inside of the truck she can't really be "individually targeted" so I can see it being a Power Up.
In either case, she would need to purchase the moves that the truck has, so:
Growth (because it's a truck)
Super Speed (because it's a truck)
Survival (because trucks are pretty resilient)
"Hit Them With Your Grill" move, where you run them the hell over
Plus any weapons mounted to it
Dubious ones:
Shapeshifting (If we're making it a Power Up, because the character is NOT a truck)?

Depending on what you would exactly want to do with it, you could just make it a Super Move. Like the truck rolls up, you hop in and run them down before it disappears into a plot hole. Or the mount could have an AI that initiates the attack, possibly making it an assist but less powerful. For it to be around for significantly longer and operated by the Prime, it'd get a bit sticky. Maybe make it a Utility super move that grants resilience, speed and the Run Them Over move at the cost of limited maneuverability/easier to hit and inability to use other moves?

Sorry haven't ignored this I just haven't had time to reply because it needs a comprehensive response.
Re: So My Character Owns A Truck - Trixie - 08-27-2015
I too want to know this, because I have a vehicle for Trixie on Coruscant that would act as a mobile platform for any situation. On Coruscant it would fly as a speeder and anywhere else it wouldn't.

On Coruscant it would fly as a speeder and anywhere else it wouldn't.Actually, that rule's been changed. I don't think Omni's had time to alter the rules page yet, but he's decided to allow flying vehicles/mounts everywhere now; as seen in this thread, in which Samus summons her ship (and then flies about in it), whilst in Camelot.
So your platform can fly in any verse now.

You can fly in Camelot, but pulling non medevil in Camelot was against the rules before

So, there are a couple ways you could go about this. One is by making your vehicle an assist. You would need the fusion power in order to "get in" to the vehicle, as awkward as this sounds, because in this case the vehicle is being considered as a character and they are as strong as one. As an answer to any side questions: yes, you can fuse with your assists. Obviously this would be expensive compared to the latter:
Another way is by making it an alternate form or power up. I imagine you would want to be focused on speed and defense, with TEC being 0 and ATK being secondary.
In either hypothetical scenario, you would likely want super speed (as this type of movement, with greater speed but harder to move/turn is essentially how vehicles work). Survival would probably be necessary. The move wouldn't be necessary unless you wanted it, because all you're doing is ramming into them with super speed.
Growth wouldn't be necessary, you're allowed to have giant forms without growth. Growth is a power that lets you actively grow and then shrink down to your normal size within any form. Big and little alt forms were still allowed before I introduced the growth and shrink powers, they just allow for people like Ant-man who can control their size totally. Shape shifting follows the same rules. You don't need it unless you're changing shapes WITHIN a form.
In either case, one consideration is that if the truck takes damage, you take damage. You can justify this is being fucked up by the crashes et cetera. But for rules purposes, it's you (or something you're fused with).

Re: So My Character Owns A Truck - Trixie - 09-03-2015
This helps. Trixie's isn't something she'd attack another Prime with so there isn't a need for it being a move or a fusion. It's literally just a vehicle that stores extra rations, a radio, medical supplies, ammunition, and basic survival gear. God I put so much time into my roster just to fucking lose motivation.
