My first thought when i saw this: TFP Ben 10

Given how this 👇 is Ben's canonical car:

You aren't too far off lmao (mostly on the colour at least).

You might not be particularly a fan of CNA from your sphere of headcanons, but considering that Ben can access another biomechanical species in the galvanic mechamorph, I'm sure there's enough of an Omnitrix work around to sample cybertronian data. Seeing as it's a Camaro you could probably have a TFP x Ben 10 crossover equivalent to TFA Waspinator maybe, a green Bumblebee (or a green hornet if you of/remember that) but it's Ben. Considering how the biomechanical Upgrade has a few biological translation issues to the point of not quite technically being a fully integrated transformation, maybe Ben would speak with his own voice like Upgrade does or maybe even through radio depending on how physically different cybertronians are to human anatomy.

Sallah and/or Marion could've been in it more. Maybe Sallah should have come with Indy and perhaps have been killed by Voller, instead of that random new guy introduced as Indy's old friend? Or would that be a bad idea?

(I've seen some people saying Indy should've gotten to stay in the past, but i wouldn't do that because he would propably have died soon from his battle wounds because ancient medicine sucked. Also not sure what i'd do with Marion then, i can't just ignore her in this)

I think Marion being pretty absent is a pretty big issue overall since we don't get her POV. But given how I wasn't that big of a fan of how Indy/Marion was written in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull either...

I actually think the way they included time travel was smart and fitting for the franchise. The supernatural elements in the IJ movies are beyond human control and the actual plot is always more about Indy's character arc than actually having to save the world; The mechanism actually being just a trick that was always gonna be useless to the Nazis and that is related to a mystical phenomenon we don't get a clear rules for fits for an Indy movie.

Having more free time travel could work well in a fic but not in an actual Indiana Jones movie.

I knew asks can't be saved as drafts, but i thought they could be scheluded on the queue and didn't have to be posted instantly. It isn't in the bottom with the other specifically scheluded posts... Did i make a mistake in my exitement again?

It was a little funny. I got all the alerts right in a row, but I went to read your response first! I do like the idea of intentionally choosing less "evil" looking color schemes for some characters. I need to go read what you've posted. It's on my TBR, but I've been caught up writing too.

The time and energy issue.

Tumblr has been weird about some queue posts being delayed. Glad it came through though!

Also, yeah Devcon! One of my favorite underused characters! I was really excited when his toy came out and managed to get one from a friend who didn't really want it but did want the Ratbat from my Miner Megs+Ratbat 2-Pack. It made me feel like I was in kindergarten again. 😂

My Tfpsg Bumblebee's design (at least for now) is yellow and black paint switched in the s3 color scheme, with unpainted metal etc. remaining unchanged. His eyes and biolights are still blue.

Jewish and Muslim characters - what would they pray in a dire situation?

Jewish answer

“Hear, Oh Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One / Blessed is God’s Glorious Name For Ever and Ever” (Shma Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad / Baruch Shem, K’vod Malchuto, L’Olam Va’ed) -- this is the shema, there are plenty of times to say it and this is just one of them. My flippant way of describing it in my head is that if we’re mobile phones this is the way we ping the tower.

--Shira

Definitely agree it would be the Shema. 

The only exception I can think of is if it's the time of day for ritualistic prayer (either shacharit, mincha or ma'ariv), they might prioritise that over reacting to the situation as an affirmation of their faith in face of death. There is no obligation to risk your/others' lives in order to pray at the correct time, in fact this would be against Torah, but if the situations seems hopeless anyway then I can think of some stories of people saying 'it's time for *insert daily prayer*' and proceeding to go through the relevant service with no obvious signs of fear. 

Similarly, you might want to research how to make sure your character's attitude towards the situation is in line with their unique Jewish identity.

If they're very religious, for example, they may have an easier time accepting this fate than the average person. Jewish theology involves a belief that everything ultimately comes from G-d and is therefore good. We do have a strong emphasis on protecting life as one of our main obligations in this world, but there is also an acceptance towards death as something that G-d created and so is ultimately for the good - the first thing we say on hearing that someone has passed away is 'Baruch Dayurn Ha'Emet', 'Blessed is the True Judge.'

 Unlike Christianity, we don't have a concept of the Devil as a being independent of G-d who is capable of introducing fundamentally bad things into the universe. This may or may not play out in your character's thought process and decisions in the situation you're describing, it depends on their relationship to Judaism and Jewish theology, so that's something I recommend including in your research.

--Shoshi

As you can see, Shoshi and I have varying levels of knowledge about how much prayer belongs when, and that's something to keep in mind -- if your character is Reform they might sound more like my answer and if they're Orthodox go with Shoshi's -- but that difference is only relevant at specific times of the day.

Muslim answer - open to followers

The Muslim portion of this character is open to followers.
