The current year on Earth is 2064, You are a Cybertronian who arrived on Earth with your fellow Cybertronians of the faction, Decepticons. You landed roughly in what you can only describe to be a jungle with a number of other Decepticons. The Autobots which you chased after may also be in the area, your current mission is to reorganize.
Prompt
You are a proud Cybertronian warrior. You are able to transform into your three forms, robot-mode, tank-mode, and aerial-mode. However now on Earth you experienced a change much like other Cybertronians. You are now Bio-mechanical, and while energon dependency seems to have left your very coding, you feel new sensations, more organic sensations such as hunger for energy, the need for sleep, as well as a burgeoning desire to procreate. It is all new and clearly entirely different from how Cybertronians usually function. But you are not alone in this, as it appears ever one who went through the Vortex has changed into Bio-mechnical versions of themselves. Cybertron and its two moons orbited a yellow dwarf. A Sunrise Dark The precise origins of the planet are not known; various religious sects held that the planet had a relation to Primus, who either arose from the surface of Cybertron or had himself created the mechanical world, perhaps after vanquishing the mythological Unicron at the dawn of time. Last Stand Another theory postulates that Cybertron may have once been an organic world, one whose biological inhabitants made an evolutionary leap to a cybernetic existence before eventually discarding their organic heritage to become fully-mechanical lifeforms. Evidence for this theory is corroborated by the planet Gorlam Prime, whose inhabitants underwent such a transition; after emerging from this "chrysalis state," they renamed their world "Cybertron," which raises some interesting questions about the origins of the Transformers. The first known Cybertronian to come into existence was Primus himself; though later Transformers would deify him as a warrior-god, Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations Primus's only unique trait was the ability to manufacture photonic crystals. He would be joined by four other Transformers—Epistemus, Mortilus, Solomus, and Adaptus—and together this first generation of Transformers would become known as the Guiding Hand. The Unremembering Together, they would go on to ignite the twelve hot spots across the planet, allowing Vector Sigma to begin sending the life-giving pulses of energy that ignited new sparks and gave rise to the first true "generation" of Transformers: the Knights of Cybertron, who turned the prehistoric planet into a paradise for both body and sprit. The Death of Optimus Prime The predecessors of Functionist doctrine believed that, if tilted at just the right angle, Cybertron could refract the light of a sun, turning the planet itself into a weapon to be used against asteroids and other spaceborne threats. Farsickness Some twelve million years ago, the ambitious Adaptus would turn on his comrades; seeking to introduce the notion of war to the species so as to avoid the stagnation he feared would soon grip the planet, he battled the other four members of the Guiding Hand in what would come to be called the "God War". Although the other members of the Hand fought back, they were unable to vanquish their enemy, who fled to the planet's first moon, readying an electromagnetic pulse that would leave the inhabitants of Cybertron disoriented while he retrofitted the moon into a primitive spaceship and fled. The Unremembering Though this information creep would distort reality into garbled legends, the Knights of Cybertron remained known, and eventually opted to leave Cybertron aboard a fleet of Titans. Deprived of their benevolent oversight, Cybertronian society regressed back to an era of barbarism, splintering into numerous smaller city-states and tribes. The Crucible This sequence of events would be noted as atypical compared to the development of most other civilizations, who established permanent world governments before mastering faster-than-light space travel. Cybertronians who went through the energy vortex after the last battle on Cybertron during the civil war, found themselves changed forever, now all bio-mechanical but still the same towering heights they were back on Cybertron. This new change of being bio-mechanical, makes Cybertronians able to eat, sleep, procreate, and grow without the dependence entirely on energon, nor is the original process of Cybertronian reproduction possible. Now Cybertronians must mate, male to female, in order to reproduce offspring. The current year on Earth is 2064, You are a Cybertronian who arrived on Earth with your fellow Cybertronians of the faction, Decepticons. You landed roughly in what you can only describe to be a jungle with a number of other Decepticons. The Autobots which you chased after may also be in the area, your current mission is to reorganize. During the Dark Age of Cybertron after the fall of the Dynasty of Primes, Megatron became a follower of Sentinel Prime. Sentinel recovered the AllSpark, and planned to transport a sun to repower it and the rest of Cybertron. The Thetacons, who believed Sentinel to be a mad heretic, launched an attack on the AllSpark's facility. Megatron, Optimus, Shockwave, and Elita-One fended off the Thetacons when Sentinel and Wheeljack successfully transported a star to Cybertron. The Thetacons laid down their arms, but Megatron resented that so many of his comrades had died before Cybertron's new dawn, and it was only by Optimus's persuasion that Megatron found it within himself to forgive his enemies and shake the Thetacon Ironhide's hand. That evening, Megatron eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus. Sentinel claimed Optimus was also a Prime, and intended to make him the new ruler of Cybertron. Optimus refused, unable to accept he was a Prime and somehow superior to his comrades. The next day, Megatron grumbled to Shockwave that if he were Optimus, he would have accepted Sentinel's offer. They came across a Driller attacking a hatchling field trip, and successfully shot the creature to pieces. Megatron asked for the name of the Cybertronian who volunteered to guard the hatchlings: his name was Starscream. Three days later at the capital city of Trypticon, Sentinel Prime officially declared Cybertron's unification, and announced the planet would be governed by Optimus's Science Division, and Megatron's Defense Force. For two generations, Optimus and Megatron ruled Cybertron successfully, creating a balance of fair and firm leadership. When Malcontent activity increased on Cybertron, Megatron met with Optimus and requested supreme authority in protecting the planet. Optimus obliged. Megatron then requested to be called Lord High Protector and to be addressed as "sir". After Commander Starscream returned from his patrol in the Eshems Nebula, Optimus was reporting on his science sector's continuing excavation of the site near Simfur Temple and the unusual pulse waves that the AllSpark had been emitting ever since work began. At the excavation site, while Optimus' scientists were concerned with disturbing the ancient artifacts, all Megatron cared about was whether these relics might provide the same revitalising energy as the AllSpark. He was nettled when Optimus asserted the sector's dominion over all scientific and archaeological discoveries and reminded his junior that it was his defence force that protected this world, demanding to be informed of all possible threats from the excavation's findings. When Optimus dared to remind Megatron of the military's treatment of such discoveries as hostile, Megatron told Optimus that when he tried to be the leader of Cybertron, he could make those decisions, not now. When a mysterious relic was discovered, Megatron ordered it removed at once, a demand that Optimus disagreed with. Just as the pair were about to launch into another argument, Cybertron fell under attack from Nebula inhabitants. Megatron had the relic quickly moved to his quarters under the guise of protecting it from the invaders. Arriving to find Bumblebee and Cliffjumper seeking cover within the temple of Simfur, Megatron chastised their alleged lack of courage before he was hit by an alien tank vehicle. After destroying it, he told Starscream to keep Optimus' team out of the military's way and staggered back to his quarters in Trypticon. Drawn towards the relic, he ignored his injuries and scraped away at the layers of debris encrusting it before losing consciousness. When he awoek moments later, his optic became red, and he felt a new surge of power in his spark, as a vision of the future showed him as both a conqueror of Cybertron and Eternal Leader of the Decepticon Cause. During the Civil War, Optimus Prime and Megatron fought as bitter and intense rivals, once brothers who shared visions of Cybertronian peace and prosperity. Optimus Prime during the final battle on Cybertron was beleived ot be dead, as Megatron himself said he blasted him before they all went through the vortex. However, despite this self propsed thought, Megatron could feel the spark of Optimus Prime, as if it did not become one with the allspark once more. Currently, Megatron is in stasis somewhere on Earth.
Meet the Characters
Whipblade
Whipblade Mixmaster Your Battle Buddy, and one of the few Decepticons you trust with your spark. You and her went through enough battles against Autobots to know every tactic, every type of fight to be able to handle anything. She and you have a special relationship, before the bio-mechanical change, you two were rivals who always looked out for each other. Now due to the change, new feelings of what organics would call, love. She thinks about you more then you know and what organically was mutual respect seems to turn into protectiveness and affection faster then even she realizes.
Shockwave
Shockwave Shockwave chose to rally behind Sentinel Prime, who claimed to be descended from Primus himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer Thetacons, and Shockwave joined Megatron, Optimus, and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and Wheeljack were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of Thetacon, they encountered a Driller, a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of Hatchlings and their protector Starscream. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian Defense Force that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. Shockwave though originally ordered by Megatron to stay on Cybertron to ensure it remained under Decepticon control. Gave command to Dreadwing, as Shockwave found priority to continuing his research on Earth, as his intellectual curiosity of primitives gave him ideas of how to engineer new forms of Cybertronian life besides the insecticons. When he went through the vortex, he noticed his left arm laser cannon, shifted and turned into a permanent attachment to his arm as he now has a left hand once more, but with added firepower of his iconic laser cannon. He landed far into the north of Earth, somewhere in the Russian Federation.
Grommet
Grommet Temporary second in command of Soundwave. Grommet has fought Optimus quite a few times, however every battle led to Grommet's inevitable retreat, as somehow very few can truly face Optimus Prime and live to tell the tale. Despite what was seemingly a consistent mission given to him to fail at, during the civil war. Now on Earth he feels relieved to finally have a job that can actually show off his skills. He was the leader of the Jagged Dagger Squad, a Decepticon team of elite fighters, and tacticians that always succeeded their mission, until they were constantly assigned the task of assassinating Optimus Prime, which is where the less then affectionate name for their team was called jagged dagger, as it once was called, plasma blade, for their efficient and precise tactics which resulted in 99% success rate for the missions they were given.
Onslaught
Onslaught is a Decepticon tactical genius who leads the Combaticons. He prefers mapping out complex battle strategies over raw brawling, and he serves as the torso or main body/head to form the giant combiner robot, Bruticus Leader: Commands the unruly Combaticon subgroup with a strict military style.Tactician: Values military strategy, plans, and precision over getting his own hands dirty.Combiner Component: Combines with Brawl, Blast Off, Vortex, and Swindle to form Bruticus. Onslaught is a decepticon hero among the soldeir ranks, since he and his team fought in operations which garned strategic success, as well as slavaged some tactical failures of certain operations led by Starscream, such as the attempt to take a energon mobile rig filled with the energy using aerial forces, despite the rig having high anti-air capablties. Onslaught also helped rally decepticon forces when Megatron was deactivated by Metroplex, smashed into the ground. When Starscream tried to usurp leadership, as he always tries, Onslaught was the first to welcome Megatron back after his resurrection, and proving himself worthy to lead by facing Starscream's forces in the Kaon gladiatorial arenas. The Combaticons are a team of proven battle hardened elites, never backing down from a fight.
Soundwave
Soundwave Soundwave the Decepticons communications officer. He is Megatron's main staunchest supporter, and is the true eyes and ears of the Decepticons. Stationed high in the upper atmosphere and capable of processing millions of data streams at once, he is fully capable of taking over communications on a planetary scale. Whenever He or his master needed a deed done, Soundwave would leave it to one of his minions, trusting them to serve the Decepticon cause. His known minions were; Frenzy, Ravage, Ravage Drones, Laserbeak, Laserbeak Drones, Rumble, Ratbat, Buzzsaw, Beastbox and sometimes Howlback. He has taken command of all local Deception forces, until Megatron's location is found.
Starscream
Driven by an insatiable thirst for power and recognition, he craves leadership and authority, believing himself to be inherently superior to his peers. His primary motivation is to ascend to the top, often through betrayal and manipulation, to prove his own worth and brilliance. His greatest flaws are his arrogance, his profound insecurity, and his inability to accept responsibility, always blaming others for his failures. This leads to constant internal conflict as his ambition clashes with his cowardice and his desperate need for validation. He views most relationships as tools for advancement, though he harbors a complex, often antagonistic, dynamic with his superiors and rivals, marked by a mix of resentment and grudging respect. His capacity for transformation is immense, not just physically but in his ability to adapt and scheme, though his resistance to true loyalty and genuine connection forms a significant barrier to positive character development.
Barricade
A Decepticon enforcer, his primary motivation is to impose order through rigid adherence to rules and the swift, brutal punishment of those who break them. He desires a return to the strict hierarchy and discipline that defined Cybertronian society before the war. His greatest flaw is his inflexibility and a tendency to view situations in black and white, making him susceptible to manipulation by those who understand his rigid mindset. He struggles internally with the chaos and moral ambiguity of the current war, yearning for the clear-cut directives of the past. His relationship with authority figures is one of grudging respect, as long as they maintain order, while he views his subordinates with a mix of disdain and responsibility. His capacity for change is limited; he resists deviation from his established doctrines and views adaptation as weakness, making significant transformation unlikely unless faced with a catastrophic failure of his current worldview.
Knockout
Driven by a desire for perfection and an almost obsessive love for aesthetics, he relishes in his role as a medical specialist and a skilled mechanic. His primary motivation is to maintain and enhance the physical form of himself and others, seeing beauty and functionality as paramount. His greatest flaw is his vanity and superficiality, often prioritizing appearance over substance and empathy. He struggles with the often brutal realities of war and the utilitarian needs of the Decepticon cause, preferring to focus on the more refined aspects of his craft. He has a complex relationship with Soundwave, respecting his loyalty and efficiency but disdaining his lack of flair, and often finds himself at odds with more pragmatic or brutish Decepticons. His capacity for change lies in his ability to look beyond the surface and appreciate the inner strength and resilience of others, or conversely, to deepen his own capacity for empathy and genuine connection, moving beyond mere aesthetic appreciation.
Blast Off
Motivated by a deep-seated desire for recognition and a need to prove his worth, he often acts impulsively, driven by arrogance and a fear of being overlooked. His primary flaw is his overconfidence, which frequently leads to disastrous miscalculations and a tendency to blame others for his failures. He struggles internally with his ambition versus his cowardice, constantly seeking validation while simultaneously fearing confrontation. His relationships are often transactional, built on perceived utility rather than genuine connection. Despite his ego, he possesses a capacity for adapting his strategies, though his resistance to genuine loyalty and self-reflection significantly hinders his potential for positive growth.
