I've had some trouble deciding what kinds of vehicles team RWBY would use, as Yang already has a motorcycle, but motorcycles would wrod rather well all around, but on the other hand, they are rather limited platfroms.

So to heck with it I'll make two sets.

First, bikes.

If Bumblebee stay in the mix, I'd say that they all have to be primarily methods of transportation, not weapons in their own right, unless BB gets weapons. In this scenario, I'd say that Ruby's would be the fastest, maybe with something for sprints of extra speed. Weiss would also need something fast and agile. Blake I'me not sure about. Yang's BB should be the biggest and most powerful, maybe with armor.

If they had larger vehicles, then I'd say that all terrain is a must across the board. Ruby would have a sports car with retractable blades, an afterburner, and maybe some high caliber (semi-automatic) guns. Weiss would have a high end sports car with Dust tanks. Blake, maybe some grappling hooks and high capacity SMGS/SAWs. Yang would have a muscle car or maybe a larger vehicle with high caliber automatics, possibly 10 gauge. Hmm... I was thinking of giving Yang a bike that combies BB with EC, while the others have four-wheelers that matched each's specialization. I hadn't really considered giving all of them ranged options in their vehicles (f or Weiss and Yang, it'd make sense for them to have those), seeing how BF5 is just a cooler version of bumper-cars.

Ruby's Vehicle... I really don't see any use for a sniper weapon in a vehicle combat. Sport car, with a good afterburner and hooked blades work just fine, but the sniper seems unreliable.

Weiss could have some ranged properties, but mainly to cause any sort of field changes or setting up traps. Maybe a slender vehicle, with dust chambers to its sides.

The Grappling Hooks for Blake are actually good, since she can use them for all sorts of mobility and to trip the enemy, but the guns are also a bit of over-loadout. An ATV with good balance would feet this combat style.

Yang's bike would mainly focus on inmense fire-power, but I guess a more durable frame would also help if things get too short-haired... no pun intended.

So, yeah, that's how I'd set it up. Be free to object (respectfully, please).

What would you suggest for other characters?
