Very interesting, thank you for clearing up the confusion. This does make me wonder about personal weapons though. The book mentioned that you could automatically use them in missions, but they had to be made between missions. I am wondering if I misunderstood though, and it is not possible to create personal weapons or gear that you can use any time and instead you must requisition equipment.
So for both external and integrated hard points ... the number of "hands" in the weapon profile is equal to the number of hard points? Edit: Is it even possible to have 6 hands' worth of external weapons?
Think of the "six hands worth of equipment" like a backpack, or Weapon storage, for those of us who collect the actual transformers toys. 😁 To use a weapon in bot mode, you have to have the appropriate number of hands free. Think of Optimus Prime, he has the Ion Blaster, which, by game terms probably uses two hands, but he also has his Energon Axe. The axe is stowed most of the time, and has to equip it when he wants to chop up Megatron.
I have like 5 characters put together but can't seem to figure out the skills... like is there a list of specializations man I'm having so much trouble
There are 3 ways to spend skill points. Raise a skill you have up a die size, gain a new skill, or gain a specialization. A specialization is a smaller subset of the main skill, its up to you to select, there is no master list. But specilizations let you roll all the dice up to your current skill die and select the best rolled dice. The spec needs to be narrow enough not to apply to everything, but not so narrow that it only applies to 1 specific scenario
Thanks... now I just need to figure out how to give my little girls the gear they want... blades I'm arms like optimus.Optimus.. and guns like ironhide from thr live action movies..

Hey thank you! This is perfect, aligns me in the right direction to figure all of it out.

So can a weapon be fired from the hardpoint or does it have to be in your character's actual hands?
What about non weapon hard points like support gets?

You have a number of skill points per stat equal to your stat. If you have a Speed of 3. You have to have 3 skill points spent under Speed skills.
