I don’t HAVE the players handbook.

There should be a list at the start of the players handbook

Could anyone give me a run down on exactly which characters are in this game? The wiki doesn’t seem to have much info, either.

Same here.

The GM Screen along with the game’s first adventure module, A Beacon of Hope, just arrived on my doorstep yesterday.

Got the former. I'll look into the later link when I get a chance. At least some of the pregen Autobot characters *SHOULD* have been in the main book, IMHO, so we could see some example of what finished player characters look like.
Still looking for players over Roll20 and Discord. The game would be Tuesday nights from 6 PM to 10 PM Pacific (California) time, since that's the only night that I'm likely to have free next year. PM me if interested.

I dont know where else to put this, but I'd like to run a campaign of the TF RPG on Discord and Roll20. I'm actively looking for players. I'm in the US in California in the Pacific tome zone. PM me if interested.

Something like Palladium (or at least Palladium in the 90s, which is like the last time I played)? Like I'd want definitive armor ratings and such for Titsns, Combiner, Powermasters etc.

I was unable to convince my Discord group to give this a shot, unfortunately

I came across a review/overview of the game.
This appears to be an issue Dave brings up in the review above: way too little space on the character sheets.

I've got the Core Rulebook on order, and have been digging through the PDF and trying to figure out how to fill out the character sheet. It seems there are lots of spaces with no clear purpose (though I admit I haven't gotten very far in the book), but worse, there seem to be a lack of needed spaces. For instance: I've picked an origin and a role, but there's no place to note my focus. Does it just go in the same box as the role?
It seems like the character sheet and the rules were produced independently of one another. I wish the book gave examples of how to fill in the character sheet as it went.

The core book provides rules for Autobot player characters. Renegade designers have suggested a Decepticon book is planned, but nothing official has been announced.

Renegade released A Beacon Hope adventure for those that are interested.

ICV2 has some scans from the book. Seems like it must be autobot-centric as there is a whole section about Decepticons as enemy NPCs.

The group liked the idea of playing Transformers, with some positive feedback on the rules. Still, the consensus was that the core rulebook setting lacked detail, such as origins and equipment. There was also a question on the viability and planned release of source rulebooks.
The most significant criticism was the game company releasing three RPG IPs within a short time of each other, and would that impact support of the game itself? If it does, then TFRPG is not worth the investment of time and money.

Anybody make any interesting character sheets or campaigns?

Either way. Really just depends on what the module or campaign is. Post-war, an AU where Autobots and Decepticons have set aside their differences to fight a common enemy, etc.
It's really up to your imagination and what your GM is going for.
