The Megatron call out is a bit tricky since his Megatron is a separate person in the same universe as (a) G1 Megatron (and named after a third separate Megatron...).

You'd want like "figure named Megatron" anyways since that's how those powers are worded in general now, and as long as you did name and not identity we'd be fine for futureproofing even if we ended up giving Beast Wars Megs an SI of some kind.

That would force him to pick G1 Megs currently but I think that's fine thematically.

Thanks.
Did he have a name before naming himself?

My local Walmart has the Beast Wars Transformers figures marked down to $17 right now, so I ended up buying the Bee figure as a bit of an impulse buy even though I knew the name (Buzzsaw) didn't look right. I had it in my head that your write up was about a Bee who thought Megatron was his Queen. The flying around part tricked me as I don't naturally think of flying ants. So now that I see Inferno is an ant and not a bee, is there a figure you had in mind for him? And does anyone have any desire to card the transformer bee? If so, I can get you pics!

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Beast Wars characters are roughly person sized, so the easiest figure for Inferno is just like a ant toy from one of those bucket o animal things you find at Walmart

[Yodaking]

Good to know.

[Tornado]

Yeah. Just an ant figure unless he gets a Nano figure.

NAME = BLACK BOLT
SECRET IDENTITY = BLACKAGAR BOLTAGON

SPECIES = INHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = KING
PERSONALITY = RESOLUTE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 6
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 330

TACITURN TACTICIAN
Immediately after you win initiative, you may move a figure you control. If you lose initiative this round and you roll the 20-sided die for a figure within 4 spaces of Black Bolt, you may add 2 to your roll.

BROKEN SILENCE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 8.
Choose 3 spaces in a straight line from Black Bolt. All figures on the chosen spaces, and all figures other than Black Bolt within 1 space of the chosen spaces, are affected by this special attack. Roll 8 attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. You may only use this special attack once per round, and only if a friendly Unique Hero has been destroyed this round.

MASTER BLOW
If there are at least four wound markers on this card, you may roll 1 extra attack die for each wound marker when attacking with Black Bolt. Immediately after using Master Blow and until he is destroyed, Black Bolt can no longer use this special power or Flying, and his Move, Attack, and Defense are reduced by three.

Had a lot of help from @MrNobody brainstorming this.
The goal is to finish off the original Illuminati team for 1.0.
I play a lot of Multiplayer with @IAmBatman and @Ericth74 , and with Illuminati's Visionaries being dependent on winning initiative, which becomes increasingly less reliable with each additional player, I want to explore having the King side of the team offer something on losing initiative, like Namor.

Though Black Panther was originally invited, he didn’t join the Illuminati until later.
Black Bolt also turned out to be a Skrull in New Avengers: Illuminati #5 (2007)
Having Black Bolt’s points at 330 means you can do:

ORIGINAL MEMBERS
Reed Richards (200), Iron Man (270), Professor X (190), Doctor Strange (320), Namor (280), Black Bolt (330), Spells (10) OR Skrull Infiltrator (10) (1600)
ORIGINAL INVITEES
Reed Richards (200), Iron Man (270), Professor X (190), Doctor Strange (320), Namor (280), Black Bolt (330), Black Panther (210) (1800)

[Ericth74]

Nice, I really like the design. What kind of Illuminati teams can you build with him at more typical 1000 to 1200 pts?

[IAmBatman]

He seems chockablock full of personality.

Seems pretty cool. So if he uses Master Blow twice, his stats go down to Move 1 and Attack/Defense 0?

I think he can only use it once then the power is negated.

[IAmBatman]

Ah, OK, I missed that part.

It does feel a little messy that you're subtracting three from his stats until he's destroyed but the ability that subtracts is negated. Like I *think* it works as worded, but it's not like the most intuitive thing in the world.

Slick design!

Looks like you could run Bolty, Namor, Strange, and Iron Man at 1200. I love the full combo possibilities as well!
