"The Time Is Now" is an adventure book for the Transformers Roleplaying Game. The adventure is optimized for 4 to 6 Autobot characters of 2nd level, which will reach level 6 by the end of the adventure. The adventure is set as a direct follow-up to the introductory adventure "Troubled Waters", published in the Core Rulebook, and can be played following "A Beacon of Hope", the adventure that came packaged with the Game Master Screen.

Contents

[edit]

Chapter 1: Roll Out!

[edit]

Part 1: Call to Action

[edit]

Blaster and Perceptor introduce the team to Doctor Tracy Pembrooke and ask them to escort her to a scientific symposium in New Mexico known as the Mobius Gathering.

Part 2: The Doctor is In

[edit]

On the way to the Mobius Gathering, the Autobots get to know Dr. Pembrooke better and learn more about the symposium. Once there, the team might attract the attention of a Decepticon Seeker if they don't blend in.

Part 3: Meeting of the Minds

[edit]

The Autobots join Dr. Pembrooke in a virtual gathering of genius-level conspiracy theorists, researchers, and xenoscience experts. There are some high-concept discussions about temporal displacement and intergalactic matter transports; some of which seem seeded by beings that know a little too much.

Part 4: Keeping Secrets Secret

[edit]

The Autobots discover a small unit of Decepticons gathering scientific data from the earthling geniuses and must track down the trespassing Decepticons. Why do these villains want this information, who is in charge of these spies, and why are they trying to kidnap these human scientists?

Part 5: A Wrinkle in Space-Time

[edit]

After finding a test site for temporal experiments, the Autobots must deal with the side-effects of this new scientific procedure, figure out where the Decepticons are performing this crime against quantum physics, and stop them.

Part 6: Base Camp

[edit]

The Autobots report what took place at the summit, preparing their commanding officers for what might come next.

Chapter 2: Looking Back to Go Forward

[edit]

Part 1: Lab Assistance

[edit]

The team are sent to Perceptor's lab in the new base camp to discuss the Decepticons' latest plans.

Part 2: Opening the Path

[edit]

As Perceptor, Dr. Tracy Pembrooke, and Professor Salvatore Etuscus work to understand a strange fluctuation in the space-time continuum, the Autobot team must protect vital scientific equipment from Decepticon attacks.

Part 3: The Lost Grove

[edit]

After connecting the patch of jungle in the New Mexico desert to Mindwipe's spacebridge energies, the Autobots enter a pocket dimension that has been invaded by Decepticons.

Part 4: A Time of Claws, Fangs, and Energon

[edit]

The Autobots follow Decepticon agents into the dangerous depths of the Lost Grove, where they encounter pre-historic Cybertronian life, including Reptaurica. They also come across a Decepticon mining operation lead by Runabout.

Part 5: Closing Time

[edit]

With the Decepticons' technology damaged, the pocket of space-time that holds the Lost Grove becomes unstable and begins to collapse spectacularly. The Autobot team must race to escape before they are trapped within!

Part 6: Putting the Past Behind You

[edit]

The team makes their report to Perceptor and can question any Decepticon captives they might have.

Chapter 3: Cybertron Never Dies

[edit]

Part 1: End Transmission

[edit]

While performing a routine survey in the American Midwest, the Autobot team in contacted by Ironhide and asked to investigate a transmission tower that has gone offline.

Part 2: Raids and Ambushes

[edit]

Once the tower is back online, the Autobots learn of attacks occurring across the globe, no doubt due to the Decepticons' new spacebridge technology! The team responds to some of these incidents and must try to predict where the next one could occur.

Part 3: Static Shock

[edit]

After discovering that Perceptor's long-standing orbital surveillance network has become corrupted (with numerous "dark areas" around the world likely being exploited by Mindwipe's new project), the Autobots must go to these locations and confirm this theory.

Part 4: Aggressive Cartography

[edit]

The Autobots take the initiative and map out locations where the Decepticons might strike next.

Part 5: Defensive Grid 2.0

[edit]

Using a new element of Mindwipe's targeting spacebridge tech, the Autobots upgrade Perceptor's surveillance and defense network.

Part 6: Looking at the Stars

[edit]

Knowing their next step will take them into deep space, the team must discuss their futures with Perceptor.

Chapter 4: Burning Bridges

[edit]

Part 1: Welcome to Outer Space

[edit]

From an Autobot satellite in orbit around Earth, the team discusses how to stop Mindwipe's weaponized technology.

Part 2: Dark Side of the Moon

[edit]

The Autobots journey to Earth's moon to secure a spacebridge platform that will allow them to travel deeper into space, only to learn that unfortunate lost aliens are holding the facility.

Part 3: The Omnicron flotilla

[edit]

The team must navigate an alien space station called the Omnicron Flotilla to collect the technology needed to hijack Mindwipe's targeting spacebridge and follow it all the way back to his base of operations!

Part 4: A Sinister Hypothesis

[edit]

The Autobots are all alone on a Decepticon-controlled moon. They must battle against the odds and some of Mindwipe's dastardly horrors to reach the spacebridge control center.

Part 5: Shutdown Protocol

[edit]

The team must breach the base's shield, get to Mindwipe's command core, and destroy the targeting spacebridge system.

Part 6: Down to Earth Again

[edit]

Stranded on a distant moon and surrounded by more enemies than friends, the Autobots need to find a way to get back home to tell everyone the good news.

Notes

[edit]

Trivia

[edit]
  • Throughout the book, there are several images depicting a team of Autobots used as stand-ins for the player characters. Members of this rather eclectic group include: Gauge, Hound, Novastar, Seaspray , Smokescreen, and Springer.
  • Among the more established Decepticons, four brand new 'Cons are presented in this book, including the seeker Blazewake, the spy Spikestrip, the engineer Static, and the brawler Trasher.
  • Despite him featuring in the synopsis of the adventure, as well as being on the cover of the book, Soundwave is relegated to little more than a bit player in the escapades that unfold, especially after the conclusion of the second chapter, after which he’s only mentioned in passing. It can be reasoned that the recognizability of Soundwave trumps that of actual big-bad, Mindwipe, in terms of marketing.
  • This book includes rules for Combiners! They're basically an abridged version of the rules for combining Zords in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Roleplaying Game, also developed and published by Renegade Game Studios.

Transformers references

[edit]
  • The book features a few noteworthy alien races pulled from various corners of the Transformers mythos, including:
  • The Devourers, Meanaconda, Reptaurica are all described as being proto-versions of established Transformer factions, specifically, the Terrorcons, Predacons, and Dinobots, respectively.
    • The Devourers bear a striking resemblance to the Terrorcon Sinnertwin.
  • Mindwipe's fascination with the dead is an allusion to his original characterization, an aspect of him that's never been that much in focus whenever he's been included in stories.
  • Unicron appears in two separate images in this book, but isn’t included as a threat or even alluded to at all within the story. Of his two appearances, one depicts him in his traditional Generation 1 design, while the second features him in the planet-mode of his Armada toy incarnation.

Errors

[edit]
  • There are several issues with the overview sections of each chapter, as many of the details presented there are just flat-out wrong when compared to the actual events of the chapters themselves.
    • In the overview of chapter one, Dr. Pembrooke’s first name is spelled "Tract", instead of "Tracy". It also states that the Autobot player characters return to the Ark to deliver their report, something that doesn't happen, as they just call in for assistance.
    • Chapter two’s overview states that Optimus Prime has a part to play in the beginning stages of the chapter, but he doesn't.
  • When the player characters and Dr. Pembrooke are offered a chance to get to know each other in chapter one, the book states: "After a brief period of travel, Tracy asks whichever character is transporting her to open communications with the rest of the team so she can start a dialogue. Read or paraphrase the following."—only that the block quote meant to lead into the back-and-forth appears above this particular bit of text, not below it.
  • In the intro to "Part 6: Base Camp", in the book's first chapter, Meanaconda is referred to as "Maniaconda"—despite his name being written correctly several other times on that very page.
  • In the write-up of Spikestrip's abilities, an editor's note lingers, explaining what art to use in relation to the write-up.
