Building an OC is like building a house; first you need a foundation. So let's begin with the obvious (and maybe not-so-obvious) basics.
Faction
Choosing your character's faction is a surprisingly big deal. This will help determine what they transform into, what colour they are, their backstory, and how they act.
Here are the options:
Autobot - The "heroes" of the universe, this will make your character part of the good guys.
Neutral/Rogue - These guys are neither good nor bad. They might never have gotten involved in the war in the first place, or perhaps defected from one of the factions.
Decepticon - The "villains" of the universe, this will make your character part of the bad guys.
Other - Some people choose to make up their own factions or groups; this is entirely up to you on where they fit!
