User:John3637881/Character concepts

This is where I will put my character concepts. If you remember, these characters used to be in the Super Smash Bros. Dream project on this wiki. After that project ended, I decided to put all my characters here in an attempt to save space, room, and to cut down on the edit count in the "Recent Changes" section.

This list should not be seen as a "prediction list" of any kind. In fact, I highly doubt most of these characters would ever be added to Smash.

“	Optimus Prime Has Got The Touch!	”
—Introduction Tagline

Optimus Prime is the first representative of the Transformers universe to be featured in Smash. His respective voice actors, Peter Cullen and Tesshō Genda, reprise their roles as Optimus Prime.

Attributes

Similar to Ganondorf, Optimus Prime sports slow but incredibly hard-hitting moves. Many of his moves are based off of those seen in various Transformers media. Optimus is a force to be reckoned with, as he is both taller and heavier than even Bowser. However, Optimus is vulnerable to both combos and gimping due to his high weight, extremely fast falling speed, and limited recovery options. On the plus side, the first two of those traits make it difficult for Optimus to be KO'ed vertically.

Up tilt		–	10%	Optimus swipes upwards. Based off of a move in Transformers: Devastation.
Down tilt		–	9%	Optimus sticks his Energon Axe out in front of him. The move has upwards knockback so it can lead to combos at lower percentages. Based off of the finishing move of a combo in Transformers: Devastation.
Dash attack		–	12% (clean), 10% (late)	Optimus shoulder rams the opponent. Resembles an attack from Optimus's fight with Megatron in Transformers: The Movie.
Forward smash		–	25%	Optimus crouches slightly and performs a two-handed swing. An extremely powerful attack, this move can meteor smash airborne opponents. Based off of the blow he hits Megatron with at the end of their fight in Transformers: The Movie.
Up smash		–	20%	Optimus performs an uppercut that causes high knockback. Resembles an uppercut Optimus used against Megatron in their fight in Transformers: The Movie.
Down smash		–	15%	Optimus transforms into a truck and quickly drives around in a circle three times. Long-ranged. Based off of a move in Transformers: Devastation.
Neutral aerial		–	9.8% (clean), 8% (late)	Optimus swings his Energon Axe, similar to Ike's neutral aerial. Resembles a move Optimus performs at the end of the opening cutscene in Transformers: War for Cybertron.
Forward aerial		–	12%	Optimus extends his legs forward. Similar to Squirtle's forward aerial. Resembles similar moves Optimus performs in DreamMix TV World Fighters and Transformers: Devastation.

Pummel		–	3%	Optimus slaps the opponent's shoulder. Based off of an attack he hits Megatron with in Transformers: The Movie.
Forward throw		–	9%	Optimus lifts the opponent like a weight and throws them forward. This move is used frequently in The Transformers cartoon.
Back throw		–	10%	Optimus lifts up the opponent and tosses them behind him over his shoulder. Seen during his fight with Megatron in Transformers: The Movie.

Side special	Default	Transform	10% (Truck), 12% (Trailer)	Optimus transforms into a truck with a trailer and drives forward, damaging opponents in his way. Hitting back on the control stick will cause Optimus to spin around and swing his trailer at the opponents. This segment of the move is very slow, but has incredible range. After releasing the control stick, Optimus will transform back into robot mode. Can serve as a horizontal recovery move, but in the air, the move functions similarly to Egg Roll in that Optimus will descend quickly and be left in a helpless state. Optimus commonly hits enemies in vehicle mode in the Transformers cartoons, but the trailer swing is based off of an attack in DreamMix TV World Fighters.
Up special	Default	Axe Slash	11% (clean), 7.5% (late)	Optimus slashes upward with his Energon Axe. Very similar to Marth's recovery. Leaves Optimus helpless. Based off of an attack seen in Transformers: Devastation.

Final Smash		Roll Out	10% (initial hit) 40% (remainder of attack)	Optimus yells "Roll out!", transforms into a truck, and drives offscreen. If he fails to hit an opponent, Optimus will reappear where he started the move, and the attack fails. If he hits at least one opponent, a short cutscene will begin, similarly to Captain Falcon's Final Smash, in which Optimus runs over the opponents in vehicle mode, transforms back into robot mode while jumping upwards, fires at the opponents in midair, lands behind the opponents, and fires a few more times. The opponents will be sent flying as the cutscene ends. Opponents not hit by the move will stay in place. After the move, Optimus will fall from the middle of the upper blast line back onto the stage. The attack is based off of an iconic scene in Transformers: The Movie.

Taunts

• Up Taunt: Optimus's torso opens, revealing the Matrix of Leadership.

The Transformers 9/1984

Transformers: Devastation 10/2015

Optimus Prime (Alt.)

Optimus has some extremely powerful attacks at his disposal. Opponents have to be careful when approaching the Autobot, or else he'll use one of his mighty smash attacks to send them flying! In particular, his forward smash is unique in that it can meteor smash airborne opponents. Try using it against opponents who are over the edge and watch them fall!

The Transformers 9/1984

Transformers: Devastation 10/2015

Roll Out

Although this move was never given an official name, it has proven to be one of the most famous in Transformers history. When performing stunts like this, Optimus proves he can change the tide of a battle single-handedly. In Smash Bros., it's the perfect move for KOing opponents at relatively low percentages!

“	Megatron Guns For Domination!	”
—Introduction Tagline

Megatron is the second playable Transformer and first Decepticon in Super Smash Bros. His respective voice actors, Frank Welker and Keiji Fujiwara, reprise their roles as Megatron.

Attributes

Megatron has perhaps the most unique ability in all of the Smash series: the ability to turn into an item with his down special, Transform. In robot form, Megatron is the largest and heaviest character in the game, while in pistol mode, he is the smallest and the lightest. Megatron’s singular traits make him well suited to doubles matches, where he can use Transform and his teammate can then use him as a weapon. Megatron’s strengths include his powerful and effective attacks, while his primary weakness is his large size, which makes him vulnerable to many attacks. Failing to use his pistol mode properly is also a sure-fire way to get KO’ed.

Trophies

Megatron

Megatron is the evil leader of the Decepticons, a powerful faction of Transformers that seeks to conquer the universe. Megatron would love nothing more than to defeat his nemesis, Optimus Prime, and rule Cybertron unopposed. Fortunately, Optimus and the Autobots always find a way to stop Megatron's schemes and preserve freedom in the world.

The Transformers 9/1984

Transformers: Devastation 10/2015

Megatron (Alt.)

Megatron's abilities are unorthodox, even for a Decepticon. Being one of the only Transformers capable of transforming into a gun, the battle is always interesting when Megatron is on the field. As a pistol, his attacks are extremely powerful. Because of his strengths, few ever question Megatron's leadership. Now if only he could keep Starscream under control...

The Transformers 9/1984

Transformers: Devastation 10/2015

Galvatron

Left drifting helplessly through space, Megatron is found and reformatted by the mighty Unicron. Galvatron is even more powerful than Megatron, striking fear into the sparks of all who encounter him. In Smash Bros., you can only use Galvatron for a while before he reverts back to normal, so use the time you have to deal maximum damage!

Transformers: The Movie 7/1986

Alternate costumes

• Default – Megatron as he appears in The Transformers cartoon.
• Blue - Based off of Soundwave, the Decepticon Communications Officer and loyal servant of Megatron.
• Purple - Based off of Shockwave, the high ranking leader of the Cybertron Guard and one of Megatron’s most loyal Decepticons.
• Green - Based off of Devastator, the large and powerful combined form of the Constructicons.

• Gray - Based off of Astrotrain, another triple-changer whose deep-space travel capabilities make him a useful minion.
• Purple - Based off of Beast Wars Megatron.
• White - Based off of Megatron from the Shattered Glass continuity, in which the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are good.

Trivia

• Ironically, Megatron’s series symbol is the Autobot logo, despite him being the leader of the Decepticons.
• Megatron’s crowd cheer is a reference to the scene in Transformers: The Movie where the Decepticons on Cybertron cheer for Galvatron after he takes power.
• Upon being KO'd, Megatron will sometimes yell "Retreat!," a word he uses frequently when he has been defeated or one of his plans has been thwarted.
• If Megatron is Star KOed by Starscream, he will sometimes yell out "Staaaaaaaarscreeeeeeeam!", a reference to his reaction to his betrayal at the hands of Starscream in Transformers: The Movie.

Starscream is a playable Transformer in Super Smash Bros., as well as the second Decepticon. Doug Parker, who voiced Starscream in Beast Wars, reprises his role as Starscream as a substitute for Chris Latta. Armada Starscream, who is playable in five of Starscream's palette swaps, is voiced by his respective voice actors, Michael Dobson and Jin Yamanoi, who reprise their roles from Transformers: Armada.

Attributes

Starscream's attributes are like an exaggerated version of Wario's, in that he boasts a high weight and a strong air game. These traits, combined with his heavily projectile-based special moves, can lead to him easily dominating engagements with opponents.

Down special	Default	Shockwave	30% (maximum charged)	Starscream uses his Shockwave ability from Transformers: War for Cybertron, blasting enemies away while causing great damage. Like Wario Waft, this move charges over time, and Starscream will flash red when the move is fully charged.

Trophies

Starscream

Starscream is second in command among the Decepticons, just behind Megatron. This irks Starscream greatly, as he believes it is his destiny to overthrow Megatron and lead for himself. So far, his treacherous plans have never come to fruition, but he's followed Megatron to Super Smash Bros. to settle things once and for all. He may be underhanded and arrogant, but one thing can be said for Starscream - he never gives up!

The Transformers 9/1984

Transformers: Devastation 10/2015

Starscream (Alt.)

Despite being one of the largest characters, Starscream is among the fastest in midair. But Starscream is also prepared to take out enemies in the skies. For his up smash Starscream fires a large beam - perfect for dispatching airborne foes!

Transformers: Devastation 10/2015

Aerial Assault

Starscream was the pride of the Cybertron War Academy, and he really lives up to that title when it comes to fighting from above. For a short but deadly period of time, Starscream will rain doom upon his enemies when he has activated the Smash Ball. Maybe he should try this against Megatron sometime...

The Transformers 9/1984

Alternate costumes

• Default – Starscream as he appears in The Transformers cartoon.
• Purple - Based off of Skywarp, a slow-witted Decepticon jet who has the ability to turn invisible.
• Blue - Based off of Thundercracker, a Decepticon jet with second thoughts about some aspects of his side's cause.
• Yellow - Based off of Sunstorm, a Decepticon jet with limited appearances but no small amount of flattery for whomever he wants to impress.
• Green - Based off of Acid Storm, a Decepticon jet with the ability to attack with acid rain.
• Armada - Starscream as he appears in Transformers Armada.
• Armada Blue - Starscream after he becomes recolored after a battle against Nemesis Prime.
• Armada Green - Colored after Thrust, a treacherous but insane jet with motives of his own.
• Armada Yellow - Colored after Demolisher, a low-intelligence Decepticon tank who is loyal to his cause.
• Armada Maroon - Based off of Starscream as he appears in Transformers: Cybertron.

Trivia

• Like Megatron, Starscream ironically has the Autobot logo as his series symbol, despite being a Decepticon.
  • However, this is partly fitting in for Armada Starscream, as that iteration of the character briefly joined the Autobots.
• Unlike most characters, Starscream does not clap at the results screen. Instead, he crosses his arms and has an irritable expression on his face.

Tor

Designed by	John3637881

“	Tor Delivers!	”
—Introduction Tagline

Tor is a playable character in Super Smash Bros.. First appearing in Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, he represents the Neopets universe. Wally Wingert, who voiced Tor in The Darkest Faerie, reprises his role.

Attributes

As a swordsman, Tor's moveset is similar to characters such as Link, Marth, and Shulk. Of the aforementioned characters, Tor most closely resembles Link, sharing several similar moves. What sets Tor apart from the other sword-wielding characters in Smash is his ability to change his alignment through use of his neutral special, Mote Toggle. The advantages and weaknesses of the different alignments force Tor to play each matchup differently.

Like Little Mac, Tor has a gauge located near his character portrait. This gauge is his Magic Meter. The gauge becomes active when Tor chooses an alignment via Mote Toggle. The meter starts out full, but when Tor attacks while equipped with a mote, it goes down. The meter also always goes down over time. When the meter is entirely depleted, Tor's mote status will end immediately. The Magic Meter resets itself after a while. Eating Food has a small chance of randomly resetting the gauge. Like Shulk's Monado Arts, the effects of Mote Toggle will last for about 15 seconds and it takes about 10 seconds for the Magic Meter to recharge.

Alignment strengths/weaknesses

Tor can use his motes to protect himself from various attacks or go on the offensive. Conversely, his motes can leave him more vulnerable to certain attacks.

Alignment effects

Tor can use one of six different motes. Each represents a different elemental alignment from the Neopets universe.

• Fire: Represents Fire. Attacks cause flame damage. Increases the damage and knockback of attacks. Weak against Water.
• Water: Represents Water. Attacks have a chance of freezing. Weak against Fire.
• Leaf: Represents Earth. Attacks have a chance of causing the flower effect. Weak against Air.
• Wind: Represents Air. While equipped, Tor will be faster overall and his smash attacks will have windboxes. Weak against Earth.
• Light: Represents Light. Attacks have a chance of stunning opponents as if their shield was broken. Jigglypuff will not be instantly KO'ed if this occurs, and instead will be stunned like any other character. Weak against Dark.
• Shadow: Represents Dark. Attacks have a chance of temporarily creating a purple cloud over opponents' heads, causing them to have weaker attacks.

Hit with same alignment

If Tor is hit with an elemental attack while using that attack's mote, he will take less of the effects of that attack. Following is a list of such strengths:

• Equipped with Fire, hit with Fire attack: Tor will take less damage and knockback.
• Equipped with Water, hit with Water attack: Tor will take less damage/knockback to water attacks, will not be moved as far/as fast with pushing water attacks such as Mario's F.L.U.D.D., will be frozen for less time, and will have better mobility when swimming.
• Equipped with Earth, hit with Earth attack: Tor will take less damage/knockback, will be affected less by the flower effect, will be buried for less time.
• Equipped with Air, hit with Air attack: Tor will not be pushed/pulled as fast/as far by wind/pulling attacks. In addition, Tor will not be paralyzed for as long.
• Equipped with Light, hit with Light attack: Tor will take less damage and knockback. If Tor’s Shield is broken or any item used against him which causes dizziness, the effects will not last for as long.
• Equipped with Dark, hit with Dark attack: Tor will take less damage and knockback, and will be put to sleep for less time than normal. Witch Time will have less of an effect on Tor.

Hit with opposite alignment

If Tor is hit with an elemental attack while using that attack's opposite mote, he will suffer from increased damage and knockback, and sometimes, other effects. Following is a list of effects that can happen:

• Equipped with Fire, hit with Water attack: Water attacks, such as some of Greninja's moves, have a chance of freezing Tor. Mario's F.L.U.D.D. will push Tor much further and much faster than normal. Tor will accumulate 2% damage per second while in the water of stages like Pirate Ship.
• Equipped with Water, hit with Fire attack: Fire attacks such as Bowser's Fire Breath will cause drastically increased knockback and damage.
• Equipped with Leaf, hit with Air attack: Any effect that can push opponents back, like Donkey Kong's Storm Punch, will push Tor much faster and farther back than normal.
• Equipped with Wind, hit with Earth attack: Earth attacks, like some of Ivysaur's moves, will give Tor the flower effect.
• Equipped with Light, hit with Dark attack: Dark attacks, like Ganondorf's Warlock Punch, will give Tor the cloud effect, temporarily leaving him with weaker attacks.
• Equipped with Dark, hit with Light attack: Stuns Tor as if his Shield was broken.

Moveset

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack		–	2% (first hit), 2% (second hit), 1% (loop), 4% (last)	Tor slashes twice, then jabs forward with his sword repeatedly, finishing with a final, more powerful slash. Comes from The Darkest Faerie.
Forward tilt		–	11%	Tor slashes in front of himself.
Up tilt		–	10%	Tor swings his sword above him, resembling a grounded version of Corrin's up aerial.
Down tilt		–	6%	Tor pokes diagonally downwards with his sword.
Dash attack		–	8% (clean), 7% (late)	Tor uses the thrust attack from The Darkest Faerie, dashing forward while stabbing.
Forward smash		–	16%	Tor moves back slightly, charges up his sword with one hand, and swings hard. Tor's strongest KO move when fully charged. The charge attack from The Darkest Faerie.
Up smash		–	14%	Tor stabs upwards, much like Marth's up smash. As there is no sweetspot, it is more like Lucina's up smash.
Down smash		–	13% (first hit), 6% (second hit), 5% (third hit), 4.5% (fourth hit), 2% (fifth hit), 1.5% (last hit)	Tor spins around with his sword pointed downwards, much like Shulk's down smash. A multi-hitting attack that makes proper DIing a must. Tor's spin attack from The Darkest Faerie.
Neutral aerial		–	2% (first hit), 1.5% (second hit), 1.5% (third hit), 2.5% (fourth hit), 2.5% (fifth hit), 4% (last hit)	Tor spins around in mid air. The hits do not link, making the move better for comboing at lower percentages. Identical origin as his down smash, although the individual hits are generally weaker.
Forward aerial		–	13% (clean), 9.5% (late)	Tor chops downwards. Can spike if sweetspotted.
Back aerial		–	12% (sword), 8.5% (body)	Tor stabs backwards, similarly to Robin's back aerial.
Up aerial		–	14%	Tor stabs upwards, similarly to Link's up aerial, although the move does not have a lingering hitbox like Link's move.
Down aerial		–	10% (descent), 4% (landing)	Tor chops downwards and brings his sword to the ground. A stall-then-fall move. Can spike if sweetspotted. Tor's aerial attack from The Darkest Faerie.
Grab aerial		Rope Gun	3%	Tor fires the Rope Gun in midair, similarly to Link's Clawshot.
Grab		Rope Gun	–	Tor fires the Rope Gun, trapping any opponents caught by the grapple.
Pummel		–	2%	Tor hits the opponent with the hilt of his sword.
Forward throw		–	1% (throw), 8% (stab)	Tor throws the opponent forward, then steps forward and stabs them. Visually similar to Roy's forward tilt in Project M.
Back throw		–	2% (throw), 8.5% (swing)	Tor throws the opponent behind him and swings at them with his sword. Out of all of Tor's throws, this one causes the most knockback.
Up throw		–	1% (throw), 6% (slash)	Tor throws the opponent up and slashes them.
Down throw		–	0.5% (throw), 8% (slash)	Tor throws the opponent down and chops at them, similarly to his forward and down aerials.
Floor attack (front)		–	8%	Tor chops forward with his sword and gets back up.
Floor attack (back)		–	7%	Tor swings behind and gets back up.
Floor attack (trip)		—	3% (each hit)	Tor swings to the left and the right before getting back up.
Ledge attack		–	7.5%	Tor chops his sword onto the stage and stands back up.
Neutral special	Default	Mote Toggle	0%	An interface appears above Tor with seven possible options. Releasing the B button will cause the interface to disappear. By moving the control stick, a player can hover over one of the seven options and release the B button to confirm their choice. Releasing the B button over the mote Tor is actively using will cause Tor to unequip that mote, as will releasing the B button over the blank option in the center of the interface. Each of the different motes represents a different alignment. If Tor is hit with an elemental attack while using that attack's opposite mote, he will suffer from increased damage and knockback, and sometimes, other effects. For details on the effects of Mote Toggle, read Tor's Attributes section above.
Side special	Default	Sword Combo	3% (first hit), 4% (second hit), 10% (last hit)	Tor swings his sword three times, similar to Dancing Blade and its variants. The first two hits have set knockback so that they can easily combo into the third hit, which deals more substantial damage and knockback. Landing all three hits causes an elemental effect to be put on the opponent if Tor is using that mote.
Up special	Default	Rope Gun	3% (rope), 15% (tip)	Tor fires his Rope Gun upwards. A tether recovery. Hitting an opponent with the tip of the grapple meteor smashes them. Missing the ledge leaves Tor helpless.
Down special	Default	Shield	1.5x damage for reflected projectiles	Tor makes a defensive stance with his shield. He can move slowly forward or backwards if the down special is continuously held. Enemy projectiles will be reflected back at the firer if they shoot at Tor's shield. Additionally, attacks from the front will not harm Tor, but he is still vulnerable from all other directions.
Final Smash		Supernova Mote	16% (sword swing), 5% (each hit from tornado)	Tor charges his sword in an animation similar to his forward smash and swings. He becomes surrounded in a rainbow tornado that deals damage and knockback to any enemy that touches it. Dealing enough damage to one enemy will cause them to suffer the effects of one of the six alignments, although the alignment is chosen at random. The move functions like Superspicy Curry in that Tor can use his entire moveset, except for Mote Toggle. After a while, the effects of the Supernova Mote wear off.

Soon, he found himself on a spectacular adventure in which he battled the forces of the Darkest Faerie. After saving the realm from the great evil, Tor became the hero he always wanted to be.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie 11/2005

Tor (Alt.)

Tor has brought his moves from The Darkest Faerie into Smash! With the power of his motes, Tor has a wide array of techniques at his disposal and the ability to counter almost any attack. Just be careful not to use the wrong mote or else you'll give the opponent the advantage instead!

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie 11/2005

Supernova Mote

In The Darkest Faerie, the most powerful mote was the rare Supernova Mote. If Tor charged his sword while using the Supernova Mote, he would become protected by a rainbow tornado that did damage to all who tried to attack him. In Smash Bros., the mote functions similarly. Use it while you can though, because the effects of the Supernova Mote don't last forever!

Trivia

• Tor's introduction tagline is a reference to the first major quest in The Darkest Faerie, where Tor must deliver a package to the Army Recruitment Center in Meridell.
