Time: 1998
Place: Los Angelos California, North America, Planet Earth

Another battle had waged out of control. The human city of Los Angelos was beig torn apart by the pockets of fighting - laser bolts and proton missles toppling buildings and tearing craters into the pavement.

Optimus Prime had not wanted this to happen, he was hoping to merely scare the Decepticons off like they had so many times before, but Megatron was unrelenting this time. It seemed like he wanted to claim the city for his own.

In the air above him, one of the Decepticon Seekers, Thundercracker he beleived, was on a strafing run, his purple energy bolts tearing into the ground as they traced towards him. Prime's laser rifle was heft, as he sprayed his own fire about the Decepticon, the lasers coming close enough to sizzle the armor on Thundercracker's fuselage and wings. The Decepticon pulled up as he closed in on the Autobot Commander, and streaked into the skies again, a loud sonic boom sending the giant red robot back against a building.

As Optimus rose from the rubble, Megatron stood before him, fusion cannon leveled at the Autobot's head, "I would have waited an eternity for this........"

Megatron's flexmetal faceplate grinned as the energy crackled in his cannons barrel, "It's over Prime...."

Megatron screamed in pain as a laserbolt peirced his back, spinning towards the incoming autobot attackers as they poured laserfire at the Decepticon Leader. "DIE AUTOBOTS!"

The fusion cannon, one of the most destructive Transformer weapons on the planet, unleashed it's fury, the Autobot attackers scrambling before it was to late.

For one of them it was, as Brawn was caught in the beam, his body picked up and thrown back, as his armor slagged off of him, his internals overloading and exploding in the energy beam.

When the cannon ceased fire, nothing was left of Brawn, and alarge gouge was dug into the city, buildings holed through, and the exposed ground beneath the pavement like glass.

"Megatron just killed Brawn....." came the sound out of the quiet.

Optimus chose that moment to attack, grabbing Megatron around the waist, and throwing the massive white robot to the ground.

"You bastard!"

Optimus pressed the attack, having seen one of his Autobots reduced to atoms by his enemy, his mind was clouded with rage, leaping upon Megatron's back, his massive fists raining blow after blow upon the back of Megatron's cranial plates. The sounds reverated throughout the city, as the cement beneath the two giants crack, splintered and flew upwards.

Minutes after the battle had begun, Optimus stood up, his red body looked like it was heaving, as a human would when they breathed heavy. Megatron laid still, his body cracked, the back of his head shattered and his cybernetic brain exposed.

"Optimus!" the voice of Powerglide crackled through the comm channel, "We got a problem! I just picked up a missle fired by a offshore sub, and it's headed right for the big L.A.!"

"Understood Powerglide, Autobots, get the hell out of here! Arielbots, stop that missle!"

With no reguard for the Decepticons, who even as they spoke, where picking up their fallen leader, and making their way from the battlefield, the autobots began their own retreat, and the Aerialbots flew off to intercept the incoming missle.

"Optimus" came the voice of Silverbolt, the Aerialbot commander, "We have a problem, scanners show this thing is Nuclear...."

"Don't let it impact Silverbolt, that is a order. Take any measures nessacry, is that understood." Optimus knew what he had just ordered the Aerialbots to do....they would die stopping the missle.

"Understood Optimus, Aerielbots..Merge into Superion"

Moments later, a nuclear explosion erupted over Los Angelos. Nuclear aste and fallout spread over most of Southern California as Superion's energon enhanced the explosion three fold.

Time: 2001

It's been three years since the Los Angelos incident, and the battles still continue. In the aftermath of that faithful day, most of Southern California was evacuated, and remains No Man's Land. The Decepticons loot the area regularly, using the high levels of background radiation to create Energon Cubes.

The World Goverments no longer trust the autobots, they see all Transformers as meanaces, the Autobots are only less so. the destruction and loss of life caused by the battles the two factions wage have made even most humans afraid of them.


the United States Goverment has a new president, one who hates and distrusts the Transformers more than most people would think, he views them as unstable powers, who use their advanced technologies to play god with human lives. he has vowed to find a way to stop them, and the military is behind him all the way.

There is one group of humans, who worship the Transformers. They call themselves the Seekers. They seek out any form of cybertronian Technologies, maintain a active spy network throughout the world, and worship all Transformers as gods upon the Earth.


You shall create a Transformer for this thread, either a Autobot or Decepticon, and take your role in this world.

Below is the character sheet you may use, I assume it needs no explination, but if nessacry, I will do so later:

Example Sheet:

Astrotrain
Allegience: Decepticons
Function: Military Transport

"In confusion there is opportunity."

Profile: Creating confusion is Astrotrain's specialty. As a Decepticon Triple Changer he can switch from robot to locomotive train to space shuttle almost instantaneously. This ability not only leaves unsuspecting enemies perplexed, but often vulnerable to his attack. His favorite ploy is to lure an Autobot to chase him as he enters a railroad tunnel in train mode and then exits in shuttle mode. The Autobot is usually ill-prepared to battle the shuttle-mode Astrotrain and rarely knows whether two Decepticons or one confront him. But it is that particular moment when his opponent realizes his mistake that especially delights Astrotrain. He truly lives for that moment and thrives on his foe's panic and fear. "It makes it all worthwhile," Astrotrain says gleefully. "That part I enjoy even better than destroying him afterwards!"

Abilities: As a space shuttle, Astrotrain can achieve, under his own power, planetary orbit, where he can attain a maximum speed of 20,000 mph. He can launch weapons and satellites while in orbit, and carry other cargo as well. If he carries an extra fuel supply, he can leave his orbit and is capable of true space travel, boosting his speed to 50,000 mph. He would be able to travel from the Earth to the Moon and back, but not much more. As a train, his top speed on rail is 400 mph and he has a range of 1700 miles. In robot mode he has great strength and carries a powerful ionic displacer rifle, which destroys by disrupting molecular bonds in metal alloys with its beam.

Weaknesses: Astrotrain is prone to mechanical breakdowns as a train in his wheel assemblies. As a space shuttle his communications systems often fail him and he must be wary of burning up while re-entering the atmosphere.

:newbies:


Name: Azure Dominia
Alligience: Autobot
Sub-group (if applicable): N/A
Function: Mechanical Engineer (Techbot)

Quote: "A fool is only as good as his parts."

Profile: Unlike most Autobots, Azure isn't a warrior. In fact, she'd rather be fixing fried curcuitry than out on the battlefield. Sure it's boring work and she'd love to see a change in pace, but it ain't gonna happen. She always has her hands full with something in Autobot city. When she isn't applying her trade, she's out racing with her brothers Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, as an azure/sky blue Lamborgini Diablo.

Abilities: She has more precision in her tiny wrist lasers than she has with a pistol. She can be sharp with words, and stubborn as hell.

Weaknesses: She's weak when it comes to strength, often employing other Transformers to do the really heavy lifting. Her firepower is limited to tiny wrist lazers and a short energon sword. She is not skilled in combat and would rather hide behind a transformer with better use of pistols and combat expertise.

Name: Reaper
Allegiance: Decepticon
Sub-Group: N/A
Function: Assassination/Close combat

Quote: "I am become death, destroyer of Worlds."

Profile: A nightmare given form in steel and energon, Reaper is Megatron's personal hatchetman. A sinister, jet black presence with a flowing cape, blood-red optics, and a four-foot chrome-plated scythe where his right hand should be mounted, Reaper is a feared and unknown quantity even among the Decepticons, thousands of whom he has dispatched over the years for minor slights or at his master's command. Silent, skilled, and deadly, Reaper is used by Megatron as an assassin and combat bot, all despite the fact that Reaper refuses to show what Megatron terms as "proper deference" to anyone, even to Megatron himself. Indeed, when given a looser rein, Reaper prefers testing his skill against Autobots, Decepticons, or anyone else in single combat, a form at which his strong, armored frame is very well suited. Few have ever spoken more than a dozen words at a time with Reaper, and fewer still can claim to know what dark thoughts brood beneath the surface of the dark Decepticon assassin.

Abilities: A consumate master with his arm-mounted scythe, Reaper is a holy terror in close-quarters combat. His cloak radiates a sound-dampener field that can make him inaudible, and his metalic skin absorbes sensor and radar waves like a stealth plane. A forearm-mounted wraparound grenade launcher on his left arm completes his arsenal of close-quarter weaponry.

Weaknesses: Reaper lacks any long-range weapons whatsoever, and is thus vulnerable to aircraft or heavy projectile weapons. His vehicular form (A black hearse) is strong and well-armored, but slower than many Autobot models, and less manuverable. Furthermore, Reaper can seemingly not resist the prospect of a duel to the death with his enemies, which can lead to a lack of focus on the "bigger picture" on occasion.

Name: Hornet
Allegiance: Autobot
Sub-Group: Pending (Aerialbots?)
Function: Pending (Light Reconaisance?)

Quote: "Hi there!"

Profile: Following the construction of the Dinobots, the Autobot scientist Wheeljack, with the assistance of Spike Whitwicky, a human affiliated with the Autobots, embarked on yet another experiment into Transformer psychology. This time, Wheeljack desired to create an Autobot which would be capable of the same infinitely complex growth structure that human are inately born with, through the mechanism of building the closest thing that Transformer's can have to a child. The end result was Hornet, a fighter-jet Aerialbot of diminuative size and strength, with a massively complex, personally-programmed spark that gave him the same temperment, behavioral patterns, and in theory, (mental) growth capability as a human child. As of the present, Hornet has not yet been fully activated, so the final results of Wheeljack's new experiment (considered mad by most of the other Autobots) have yet to be realized.

Abilities: In vehicular form, Hornet is a single-engine fighter jet aircraft of vaguely human design, but shrunk down to less than half normal size. Nevertheless, Hornet still packs a relatively impressive quantity of firepower, and his small size and superb manuverability make him difficult to hit or even detect. In humanoid form, Hornet's airplane wings double as his arms.

Weaknesses: By no means a combat bot, Hornet posesses almost no armored protection whatsoever, which when combined with his incredibly complex systems, makes him very liable to extensive damage. As a brand new Autobot, it is assumed that his lack of experiance combined with his rather unique temperment and mental programming may well result in a completely combat-ineffective Transformer, though only time will tell.

Woot woot!

Name: Ferran
Allegience: Autobots
Subgroup (If applicable): Demobot
Function: Demolitions/Explosives expert

Quote: "Oh, isn't life swell? Yeah, I think so, too! Wow!"

Profile: Ferran, surprisingly, is about 51 million years old. When he was younger, however, he was involved with an accident that led to a total memory wipe of his first 20 million years of existence. Also, his personality was also changed. Oftentimes, he'll slip into a child-like state and not realize it; his processors have become so used to it (as has everyone else) that it no longer gives him halt.

He is disgustingly lucky, and his pain receptors have a habit of shutting off automatically when he goes into battle. And, even though that may sound fun, it has caused some serious injuries in the past.

Personality: He's happy, cheery, bubbly, and slightly child-like at times. He's a great person and likes everybody, except decepticons, or pretty much anyone that he thinks can and would do him serious harm. When he encounters these sorts of people, he generally does his best to incapacitate or utterly destroy them.

Abilities: He knows his way around explosives to the point that he's gotten a reputation as an expert. Also, since his duty demands it, he has a fairly advanced array of sensors (optics that can see a larger chunk of the electromagnetic spectrum, and a special built-in device that can allow him to see the insides of things relatively deep into the ground/walls -- a bitlike sonar, but a bit more sophisticated) compared to the standard Transformer. He's also heavily armed and armored. He's also pissingly lucky.

Weaknesses: He has a limited supply of ammunition. As such, he often runs out of said ammunition, which can be (and normally is) a serious handicap in the middle of a fight as he has no sort of melee or energy weapons.

In character thread has been created.

Anyone else who wishes to join up, may create a character and post in here. I'll let you know when you join in.

Happy gaming people.

I didnt make all of you wait too long did I?

Missed all of you! Back from vacation and school stuff a bit. I'm going for slightly other characters than before. I'm going to make this up as I go... so...

Name: Nebula
Allegience: Decepticons
Subgroup (If applicable): Prismacons
Function: Hit and Run Combat Unit

Quote: "A war? This is more like a.... alright, it's a war."

Profile: In every war there are those who don't seem to understand the severity of the situation. Nebula is such a Transformer. She has never considered that the enemy might have feelings. And she likes it that way. For if she did.... well, that would only complify things, wouldn't it?

Fighting comes natural to Nebula and the grand advantage she holds over Human robots entertains her greatly.

Nebula and the other Prismacons were created to get an edge over the Autobots. But the leader of this group, Scarlet, has proven to be an overly ambitious follower time after time. After the fight in LA Scarlet tried to grasp power, but she was beaten in a fight with Astrotrain and her ambitions were crushed.

Because of her swift defeat Megatron decided to spare Scarlet. But the Prismacons were all apointed to diferent units and kept apart as much as possible.

Nebula had played almost no part in Scarlet's plan and was allowed to continue fighting at the front as a proud Decepticon warrior. Her skill as a hit and run attack unit soon became apparant. These days Nebula often functions alone or in small groups, sent out to destroy lightly protected targets.

Lately the succes Nebula has had in her missions has caught the attention of friend and foe alike. Though she is unaware of it, her life is certain to change dramaticly, for better or worst.

Nebula's colors range from purple to blue. In her robotic form she looks like a tall woman with wings on her back. She changed into a futaritic looking jet.

Abilities: Nebula has great reflexes that make her very hard to hit in both robotic and jet mode. In her jet mode she a series of missiles for both air and ground targets. In robotic mode she has claw like weapons attached to her hands. She also has a pair of lasers attached to her lower arms.

Weaknesses: Her lasers are weak, meaning she has to depend mostly on her missiles and claws, hampering her combat options. Nebula's high speed combat is tasking, she can't keep it up for long.

Added to this Nebula is an unexperienced warrior. She is known to pull the strangest maneuvers during fight. Though on rare occasions they've done wonders, mostly they get her in more trouble.

Name: Snow
Allegience: Autobots
Function: Front Line Fighter

Quote: "Feel free to applaud."

Profile: Snow is a proven warrior of the Autobots. She had partaken in a few of the most famous campaigns and has usually played a role of some importance in them. During the last of her battles, a fight that took place close to Earth she had gone missing. It was only a few years back during a random scouting mission that she was discovered.

After being refound she had to receive extensive repairs. When repairs were finished Snow appeared in her new somewhat sleeker form. She reaquinted with old friends such as Optimus. Others soon noticed that even after several melenia of frozen captivity Snow was still as arrogant as ever.

But one fundemental change had taken place. Though Snow had not changed, the world had. Suddenly Snow had become a hero of days of old. Snow's accomplishments were praized and often she would be questioned about what Optimus and the others were like back in the old days.

Snow now tells her stories of her old victories and her new to the less hardened Transformers. She has build up something of an image, one that she treasures above no other.

Snow is a colored in light blue and white. Her robotic form looks much like that of an armored female knight. While her armor is strong, the limbs covered by it aren't that thick. All her weapons seem to be made of ice. She carries twin blades and a spear which can be hurled at amazing distances. She turns into a lightblue speedscar.

Abilities: Snow is strong, fast and brave. In her robotic form she can use her weapons to great effect allowing her to take on fairly strong opponents.

Weaknesses: Besides having no arsenal in her vehicular form, she has alot of social flaws. Her arrogance and pride often play her parts, more than often overriding her commonsense.
