Part one. Preliminary background.

Featured characters:

Blitzwing

Octane

Astrotrain

Galvatron.

Cyclonus

Scourge

Sweeps

DCharr galvatrons throne room.

"Blitzwing" Galvatron shouts his voice rining through the caverns of charr.

The triple change in jet mode flys into the throne room and transforms. "Mighty galvatron you bellowed." Blitzwing says as he lands.

Small unnoticable sparks appear on galvatrons head and he rises from his throne. "you are the reason we have not defeated the autobots" Galvatron shouts and kicks Blitzwing square in the chest. The triple changer flies accross the room and slams into the rock wall. Galvatron transforms and shoots him in cannon mode. Blitzwing is smashed through the wall and lands on top of his fellow triple changers. Now laughing Galvatron in robot mode walks out of the hole he has created. "Triple changers you are to bring me the fabled blue energon." He speaks in his sane voice.

"But mighty Galvatron... Octane starts

"You dare to question the emeperor of ash!" Galvatron roars the sparks playing about his head once more. He fires at octane sending the decepticon into another cavern wall. Laughing maniacally he then fires at the stalactites above blitzwing and astrotrain. The rocks falls and the two triple changers scatter. They grab octane and leave the cavern and the insane Galvatron behind them.

On board astrotrain enroute to the location of the blue energon.

"Damn that galvatron If he wasn;t our leader I'd pound him." blitzwing says as octane helps repair him.

"Whats Stopping us or any of the other decepticons from taking over?" Octane asks.

"Nothing" blitzwing replies a glint appearing in his eyes. "Is not this blue energon some kind of super fuel?"

"Yeah so whaa.. Oh I get it he he he" Octane chuckles at the thought. "But we need a plan."

"Blitzwing plugs his arm back into its socket and rotates it. "Lets finish repairing ourselves then think of a plan."

"agreed" octane replies.

Contempt IV a planet that orbits a ;larger planet which orbits a massive red gaint sun.

The red dust blows everywhere on the surface of the world as the triple changers exit astrotrain. all are now in robot mode so that they can use there scanners.

"Primus damnit we can't get any readings through this slagging dust." Octane retorts

"You think you have it bad the dust is clogging my joints" Astrotrain moans.

"Shut it we have to find that energon" Blitzwing shouts his voice distorted by the sandstorm.

"Signature detected. 300 meters, 150, 20.... Octane is dragged under the sand suddenly and then he is gone.

"What the slagging" blitzwing shouts.

Astrotrain dissapears in his vision and blitzwing transforms into his tank mode but the sand clogging his mechanisms traps him mid transformation. The sand wells up and he is sucked down through it. He is bash around and this dislodges the sand. He completes his transformatio and his tank mode it slung around as if he was in a pinball machine. He crashes into a solid lump of rock and is smashed clean through it. He strikes another rock and his armour crumples. He is thrown clear and strikes another rock. Blitzwuing loses consciousness and all goes dark.

Galvatrons throne room chaar. Ten breams after the triple changers disappear

"Cyclonus" Galvatron shouts and the decepticon jet walks in and Kneels.

"mighty galvatron." he speaks. Galvatron shoots him.

"Do not kneel" Galvatron shouts. "Find those Triple changers and tear them apart."

"Right away mighty galvatron" Cyclonus says as he leaves the throne room.

After gathering scrouge and the sweeps Cyclonus and his troops approach Contempt IV

As they enter the atmosphere a massive blue tinted explosion throws them back into orbit. The massive detonation tears the planet into small chunks. The blue shockwave passes over the decpetiocns and a single figure is highlighted by the flames of the planets destruction.
"Decepticons your judgement is upon you" The figure speaks with a menacing voice...

Motor master

Dead end

Wild rider

Dragstrip

Shrapnel

Kickback

Contempt IV orbit

The shockwave from the destruction of the planet fades away Earthshaker simply scans the five decepticons hovering before him. "You are of unicon's design. All corrupted designs must be purged." He bellows.

"Fire" Cyclonus shouts and energy weaponry comes form the three sweeps and scourge.

The shots impact on earthsahkers chestplate and there energy is absorbed. "You fools have no idea." the blue energy grows in brightness and Earthshaker releases a shockwave. The blast hits the decepticons and they flash once. The screams of the decepticons reach Earthshaker "Your screams are music to me."

The shoke clears and five decepticons still stand. Skywarp, Thunder cracker, Bombshell, Shrapnel and Kickback stand there. "Purge complete are you loyal to megatron?" he asks.

"Yes but he doesn't exist" Skywarp replies. A sword appears at his throat.

"He does but he is trapped within the body of galvatron." Earthshaker roars. "You will come with me to charr and we shall purge galvatron."

"who are you you" Shrapnel asks.

"We are many that have beocme one." Earthshaker replies "we are the judgment and destruction of everything that ever was or ever will be."

Two bream earlier interior of Contempt IV

Blitzwing awakens in near darkness he stands which he finds odd as he was in tank mode before he blacked out. He looks around and sees his fellow triple changers there armour battered worse than his. A glow lights the chamber as another entity enters. "At last you are awake. I have been waiting an eternity for you to arrive. We have been linked for eons Blitzwing."

Fallen walks into the center of the chamber the triple changers fire and there shots pass through him. "Thats not very nice" Fallen says. "Come."

The triple changers follow The fallen as he leads them into a room covered in blue energon.

The triple changers fall over as they enter the room as the blue energon radition shorts out some of there systems. "You came for this I assume Fallen mocks as his ghost form removes a spear of blue energon from the rockface and he calmly walks over to a very large crystal with the spear in his hand.

"Nooo" Blitzwig shouts as Fallen rams the spear into the blue energon crystal.

Charr five breams after earthshaker leaves Contempt IV

Motormaster carries the offline carcass of dead end who has been blasted once more by Galvatron. "he lost the race eh boss" Dragstrip mocks.

Motormaster smashes him in the faceplate and he goes down onto his back. rock cracking from the impact. "Shut up" motormaster shouts harshly.

"ha ha ha ha He got smunched" Wildrider shouts. Motormaster gives him a lok that shuts him up.

"oh its a battle no a war on galvatron then." Breadown jitters.

Motor master shoots him in the chest with his gun. A harsh blue light blinds the stunticons as a group of decepticons land ahead of them. Motrmoaster transforms and heads for the landing site followed by his troops.

The landing had been flawless

Skywarp looked at there new ally and wondered 'what is he really'. Earthshaker had transformed into a tank and was making speed towards galavtrons thron when motormaster slammed into him. The tanks didn't move and motormaster was thrown backwards. "not very smart" Earthshaker remarked. "You are not corrupted do you wish to be rid of galvatron once and for all?" he akss them.

"very much so" motormaster replies.

"Come then we have much to do." Earthshaker replies.

In the distance a black jet watches and waits

"Just the distaction I need" he speaks quietly to himself before continuing to shadow the new warrior.

Galvatrons throne room.

Predaking and bruticus stand sentinel over the doorway as Earthshaker and his group approach.

"none shall pass as is the will of galvatron. "predaking says. Earthshaker stops.

"No one but megatron shall order me" Earthshaker replieas and fires his cannon.
The plasma shell fired from the weapon penetrates predakings chest and explodes spilling liquid plasma over the gestalts interior mechanisms. With smoke trailing from his chest predaking falls. The cannon rotates towards bruticus. "open the door or suffer the same fate as him." Earthshaker says calmly.

Bruticus opens the door and Earthshaker rolls up the slight incline and enters the throne room.

"who dares interupt my kingdom of silence." Galvatron shouts. and fires. the shot glances off Earthshakers armour. The return attack blows galavtron through the rear wall of his throne room.

galvatron tumbles down the incline and slams into a rock as earthshaker rolls towards him. A shot from galvatron lifts earthshaker from the ground and he transforms into robot mode sword out he lunges at galvatron. The decepticon rolls out of the way as the sword shatters the rock. Galvatron goes to fire again and Earthshaker grabs him around the head. Galvatrons body, spark and mind are scanned. Earthshaker throws him to the ground. "You are not megatron and never were" He speaks calmly.

"How dare you question me I am galvatron"

"oh its very simple" Earthshaker replies as he grabs galvatrons right foot. "You are made from the body of megatron but not the spark." he throws glavatron into the air and shoots the decepticon once with his plasma artillery cannon. Galvatron hits the ground with smoke pouring from half of his chest. Earthshaker pulls out his energon disrupter pistol and prepares to fire. A large black jet thrusts overhead and knocks earthshaker to the ground.

"He is mine" It shouts.

"Starscream." Galvatron roars at the jet and he starts to fire at it.

"my work here is done" Earthshaker says as he takes off.

"I am undefeatable I am Galvatron" Galvatron roars as starscream comes into for an attack run.

Five breams later - Charr

The decepticons finish rebuilding the coronation site under orders and they stand in attendance to witness:
Image
The ascension of Starscream to leadership...

charr - bottom of a deep chasm.

A single purple hand is all that is visible under a pile of rubble. Skywarp and Thunder cracked do a final sweep for energy signatures. "No energy signatures detected Galvatron is definately dead.@ Skywarp shouts to thundercracker.

"Yeah lets return to base for some energon." Thundercracker replies.

"Fine by me" Skywarp replies.

As the roar of jets fades away the hand twitches..
****************************

part 3 :- loose ends
Featured characters:

Warstorm.

Deadly Silence.

Sky shadow

Starscream

Galvatron.

Megatron - disembodied spark.

Overcast.

Charr.

Galvatron pulls himself out of the rubble with a mighty heave. Both his legs are shattered and only his left arm remians but he still drags himself slowly from his tomb. "I will not die." He moans.

"No you won't" A voice answers him. Galvatron looks around and sees two three figures standing near him.

"Who" galvatron starts.

"I am warstorm and these are my companions Deadly silence. and overcast. You now belong to us Galvatron." He says.

"I belong to... Galvatron goes offline due to lack of power.

"You don't have a choice you peice of scrap." Deadly silence says and kicks Galvatrons offline form.

"Now my dear he is already offline so lets just take what we need" Overcast says. A spark extractor in his hand.

Altar of knowledge. 2nd Cybertron.
Earthshaker enters clamly and quietly. This world made by the decepticons as a last resort remins secret to all but a select few. In fact it is the real cybertron. Galvatron made the switch during the activation of the plasma energy chamber. He moved the real cybertron away and replaced it with his mock version.

A spark floats in a stasis tube.

"Lord Megatron" Earthshaker says kneeling before the spark.

"Yes my loyal minion." the spark replies through its external speaker.

"Galvatron has been destroyed. Fortress maximus will never function again. Optimus prime is depressed. and your master plan is proceeding according to your specifications."

"Excellent. Begin phase two."

"at once my lord" Earthshaker leaves megatron in his stasis chamber.

Charr.

"you mean there were no remains of Galvatron?" Starscream asks. heads shake. "I'll have to look myself."

Starscream transforms and flys off leaving his decepticons to there own devices and he flys low over the ravine. Transforming and coming to a halt near the remains of Galvatron. Smiling Starscream picked up the sparkless carcass and flew back to his throne room.

The gathering - Location unknown.
Galvatron feels the body around him but this is different. his mind has changed but his aprk remians the same. He is in darkness and silence.
A light appears along with the scrolling words:
Unit: Destoroyah
Hydraulics: online
Powersupply: online
Sensors online
Optics: online
motor functions: online
Weaponry: online

The light gets brighter and the world comes into focus. the edges of his cocoon split open and he takes a step forward. He sees Warstorm, deadly silence and Overcast who he remmebers from before.

"Welcome Destoroyah" Warstom says "To the gathering"

Galvatron looks at his arms. one ends in a three pronged claw and the other is a nest of weapons. missileuanchers, lasers, machine guns and other more exotic weapons. "What have I become?" He asks. his voice surprises him in its difference to his old one.

"You are a cybertronian destroyer tank." Overcast replies.

"They were never constructed how did you get the plans?"

"I designed them" Overcast replies.

"Do you have somewhere I could test this new body." he asks.

"Follow me Destoroyah" Deadly silence says.

"Fine by me." Destoroyah replies following the robotrix.

Each of these stories is self contained and details an event from a single characters history. Each of my many characters will eventually get this treatment. Where required you can look up the other characters here:
http://www.lordvulcan.esmartdesign.com/darkfuture.html

The primary focus characters bio will be posted with updates prior to the short story.

Image

Motto:"My home is when darkness surrounds me"

BIO: As the chief spy amongst the decepticons he is completely undetectable but his jamming generator does not function in his vehicle mode leaving him open to detection. He feels safer in the shadows and when he reports he does it by sneaking into the decepticons HQ and leaving a message for the present commander.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: This perticular piece of data is N/A due to the fact that he was created during the army building phases of the decepticon army. He was specially retrofitted and programmed for stealth/spy work.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Silenced laser rifle: standard tech with no normal modifications.

Stun shuriken: weapons that stun an opponent but do not do permanant damage.

Laser nun chucks: Dark hawk is equipped with these but he has average skill with them and is rather useless against a very skilled opponent.

Jamming generator: puts up a shield over the frame of dark hawk that prevents him from being detected by any form of sensors apart from optical.

WEAKNESSES: Subjects shadow can be seen when he flies below 100 feet. Robot mode has very weak armour.

_________________________________________________________________


Date line [earth standard years] - 201,163,094

Decepticon rapid message system log.

<Lord Valnir>[to Dark hawk]: I have sent you the specs for your mission.
<Dark Hawk>[to Lord Valnir]: Received.
<Lord Valnir>[to Dark hawk]: Can you do it?
<Dark Hawk>[to Lord Valnir]: Affermative.
<Lord Valnir>[to Dark hawk]: Good I look forward to seeing the results.
<Dark Hawk>[to Lord Valnir]: They will be in your quarters within your specified time frame.

End of message system log.

***************************************************

That was how it normally started. Dark hawk had been in the employ of the decepticon cause longer than he could remember and served many a decepticon emperor. Valnir was more ambitious than most but he was still as slow in enacting his plans as any other con emperor. Dark hawk thought many things as he closed in on the autobot installation. It was a sizable satellite laboratory with minimal staffing. It had a small garrison of military forces to guard the work being carried out within but as it was a few hundred light years into autobot controlled space it was believe that it would never come under attack.

Dark hawk had used a space battle as a cover and had hitched a ride on a fleeing craft. It had not been easy to get this far into autobot space having to pass multiple checkpoints and autobot installations. Had it not been for his jamming generator he would not have made it. Valnirs mission seemed very simple. take all of the information on a perticular item and make off with the data and the object. Then to deliver it to him. Seemed like a simple task.

***************************************************

Dark hawk drops down form the air vents of the station and presses himself against the nearest wall away from the harshness of the lights in the area. Sliding along the length of the wall he takes a peek around the corner and then shys back immediately. A pair of autobot scientists stand at a few meters away chatting. Dark Hawk holds position to listen to them.

"Well is it secured?" One asks

"Yes. we have the latest security in place to protect it." the other answers

"How does one gain access then?"

"Go to the garrison and provide the commander there with Gold level or higher clearance and the required ID and he'll lead you into where we have secreted the item."

"Oh thats makes sense considering what we found out about it"

"Come on lets get back to work."

Dark hawk watches as one of the scientists leaves in the opposite direction and the other turns towards his position. Drawing a pair of Stun shuriken Dark hawk prepares to pounce. The autobot scientist comes round the corner and two of the weapons embed into his chest plate. The weapons do there work and stun the scientists systems. Dark hawk drags him to the nearest door and after making sure the coast was clear drags him inside.

The room was small and yet functional as befits the style of the autobots. Darkhawk punches in a decepticon code to lock the door and turns to his captive. He pats down the mech and finds a silver security clearance and some tools. Taking one of the tools he scrappily disconnects the bots power supply. After relieving the now deactivated scientist of his lab coat and putting it on as well as the silver security clearance card key Dark Hawk stuffs the inactive body into a scientific specimen locker and locks it with another decepticon code.

Returning to the door he initialises a small device that gives out an autobot energy signature and makes sure the lab coat conceals his decepticon insignia. After making sure everything is ready he leaves the room.

He walks calmly past some more autobot scientists ignore his presence and stroll past in the opposite direction. All of them wearing Silver security passes. Dark hawk silently curses this fact but carries on walking in an attempt to avoid suspicion. He enters what could only be described as a mess hall. A few silver rank scientists are sitting around a circular table. All of them obivously drunk on energon.

"Heaa dad yu her bas ss commin her" One slurrs.

The autobots are going to move the item. Drat I must hurry and complete my mission before they arrive. Dark hawk thinks as he rapidly makes his exit through the door helpfully labelled Personal quarters. He enters and starts looking around. Whilst not paying attention to where he is going he slams into and bounces off a large autobot. The autobot turns round revealing his gold level clearance card.

"hmm are you new here boy I don't ever recall seeing you here before" The autobot says

Dark hawk nods and stands up brushing himself off as he does so. "Yes, recently rotated to this installation" Dark hawk replies

"Faces change almost daily here" The large mech says "Can you tell me your name"

"Dark hawk glances at his silver clearance but in the absence of a name he just says "Hawk. Call me Hawk."

"Very well Hawk. You can call me Maulbane. Terrible name I know but thats the one I was given and thats the one I'll keep until my spark burns out." The autobot rants. "So Hawk what brings you here?"

"I don't know." Dark hawk replies "I was working on R&D one moment. The next I'm shipped off to this site"

"Well with the cons on the offensive again everyone is feeling the pinch. OUr garrison has been halved over the last solar cycle and our primary project will be taken from us in prescisely one more." the autobot grumbles "Apparently its too important to remain here."

"Pardon me if its rude to ask but why is it too important to remain at this secure site?"

"Well Hawk normally I wouldn't reveal classified info to a silver rank scientist but I really like you kid." Maulbane says "Its a weapon that was discovered embedded in a meteorite. If we can discover its secrets and then mass produce it this war will be ended once and for all."

Dark Hawk's fluids run cold at this but he tries to stop it from showing in his voice. "Sounds intriguing. I guess I'll live to see one of these mass production models eventually"

"That you will boy" Maulbane says "Now if you will excuse me I have to go and compress the data we have on it into a transportable form."

The large autobot walks away and Dark Hawk moves deeper into the quarters area. He finds the place reserved for gold level scientists and he is dismayed to find an autobot warrior on guard. He lurks and watches for a about a megacycle when a small mech wearing decepticon symbols is escorted from the area. by a further pair of autobots. Dark Hawk observes and identifies the mech as Overcast. Spotting Dark Hawk Overcast winks before pretending to fall over. The autobot escorts grab him and life him up again unaware that he had slid one of his duplicate gold level passes into Dark Hawks possession.

Dark Hawk moves back through the scientists quarters noticing that more autobot warriors seem present now than were here previously. One was asking a group [the same group that was drunk earlier] questions while others were checking those passing through for weapons or illegal equipment. Dark Hawk heads into the closet set of quarters and he works the vent grill loose before clambering into the small space. He pulls teh vent cover back into place before heading down the poorly lit tunnel.

It is another megacycle before he reemerges near to where he first entered the station. Following the map he had been given by Valnir he soon found himself near to the garrison. Hiding round the corner he opens one of the maintenance hatches and carefully hides his weapons and silver pass within. He looks back around the corner as Maulbane walks away from the garrison with Overcast being escorted behind him. Dark Hawk listens in on the words of the large mech.

"Don't fight us decepticon. All of the data and the item have been stored and are ready for departure. You will be going along with it as for the moment you belong to us"

"Bah" Overcast retorts "Autobots are all the same, ruthless"

Maulbane punches the smaller mech square in the forehead knocking overcast offline. As soon as he and his entourage have moved out of sight Dark Hawk attaches the gold level pass and walks towards the garrison. One autobot warrior scans him while another checks for weapons. After getting the all clear he walks inside and is directed to the security commander.

The mech before him has armor plates on his shoulders that are constantly in motion being formed from large circular frames that must have something to do with his alt mode. Down his back tracks can be seen, there are more spinning cogs forming his chest and arms. He sits there with head bridged on his hands and looks over Dark Hawk. He then turns his attention to the gold level pass. He looks it over and looks back at Dark Hawk. He motions to an autobot warrior that Dark Hawk had not seen behind him. Dark Hawk turns to the autobot as he draws a slender pistol from his holster. The mech motions for Dark Hawk to take point as the commander hands the gold pass back to him.

Dark Hawk is acutely aware of the autobot following him keeping the pistol aimed squarely at his head. They reach a sealed door after passing through multiple groups of sentry weapons. The autobot taps in the code and the door slides open and he nudges Dark Hawk inside before closing the door. The room beyond is empty. Dark hawk spins round to looks at the autobot.

"As if you thought we didn't know of your presence." The autobot says his finger tightening on the trigger of his pistol. Dark Hawk moves fast and snaps the autobots wrist with a swift strike while disarming the soldier.

Dark hawk points the gun at the head of the autobot as he fals to his knees grasping his wrist. "Tell me what I want to know and I promise I shall not kill you" Dark hawk says speaking in his normal decepticon voice. "Where is the charged metal sword and the accompanying data?"

The autobot chuckles. "I'll never tell you that" Dark Hawk pulls the trigger on the pistol and the now headless corpse of the autobot crashes to the ground.

The door opens again and a fusilade of fire erupts from beyond as Dark Hawk dives into cover. He leans out of cover and fires three shots. one autobot falls to the ground with a crash as more start to enter. he fires again with the pistol and knocks another bot to the ground before the weapon clicks. The firing halts and a heavy tread can be heard.

"Decepticon Dark Hawk surrender and we will not harm you." The voice of the commander sounds out. Dark hawk sheds his white lab coat and slides into the shadows and clambers up onto the girders in the room. He sees the commander give a hand signal and the autobots start moving in as soon as they reach where Dark hawk had been he swings through the now open door extends his middle finger before tapping in a decepticon code to the lock the door.

"Have fun" He says jokingly waving goodbye to them. Transforming he jets off past the sentry weapons and finds his way back to where he left his weapons. Picking them up he heads towards the scientists quarters. As he runs through the area he hurls stun shuriken at those in his path.

When he's back in the right area he shoots the guard autobot dead with his rifle before entering the gold level quarters. He skids to a halt when he finds a door flanked by two guards. Two shots and two injuries result. He enters the codes he was given by Valnir and the door slides open to reveal a very bored looking Overcast.

"So they pulled a fast one eh?" He asks

Dark Hawk nods. "Where is the item?"

Overcast chuckles. "Valnir wants it eh. Ok then follow me"

Overcast gets up and stretches before walking off down the hallway. Dark Hawk starts following him. Overcast doesn't even bother to go the security center instead leading Dark Hawk into a poorly maintained part of the installation. He points to a pressure door and says "Its in there"

Dark Hawk taps in the required codes and the door slides open to reveal a large box and a box of computer disks. Dark hawk swipes them and puts them into his sub space compartment. When he exits the room Overcast is gone. Not waiting to reflect on this event Dark Hawk hacks into the closest terminal.

Warning. Self Destruct Sequence Activated The bases speakers chime.

Dark hawk reaches the closest Airlock and takes off. He reaches a safe distance and watches the fireworks of the installations destruction.

Epilouge : - decepticon

A few solar cycles later Valnir returns from a strategy meeting to find a large box and a shielded case containing data storage crystals. He opens the box to find a large sword made from an odd metal. He takes the sword from the case and holds the grip. Circuitry embedded into the atoms of the blade energize and charge the blades metal with energy. Valnir swings the very light blade around before touching his desk. The blade cuts straight through the thing. He releases the grip and puts it back into the case.

This weapon is far too powerful to belong to anyone but me. Valnir thinks as he swiftly puts the box into his subspace compartment. He then breaks open the case and shatters the data crystals. Now no record of this weapon will ever exist and it will be mine forever.

___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - Autobot

The autobot craft that was dispatched to pick up the charged metal blade and its data arrives to find nothing left of the installation. After recovering a few black boxes and analysing there contents the eventual recorded result as accidental. The data and traces of the blades existence eventually get lost in the reams of information that comes in shortly after from the multiple battles and losses suffered by there factions army.

Motto: "Success is measured in oil; Yours or your enemy's"

BIO: The greatest functioning autobot battle tactician. His methods were considered too bloodthirsty and he was expelled from cybertron. Only after Lord_Vulcan came to power was he called back into service. A flaw in his core programming meant that he never learnt the teachings of the autobots but he only knows that he is an autobot. Other autobots tend to alienate him because of this flaw. The only autobot to not alienate him is his brother Rakx. But where Rakx leads from the front Straight prefers to know exactly what he has to work with and what his forces will face in combat. As such his plans are highly complex and mutable to enable his forces to respond to any situation mid battle.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: [earth date] 52000. One of the cybertron scourging massacre survivors.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Multi tracking module:
Able to detect and keep track of four hundred separate energy signatures and entities at any given moment. Combined with Straights excellent communications systems this enebaled him to alter his tactics mid battle to exploit the enemies weaknesses while playing on the strengths of his own forces.

Linear disruption rifle:
Firing a shot at more than double the speed of sound each impact disrupts the targets circuitry disabling there communications and motor functions.

Ornamental energon saber:
Fashioned in the shape of those carried by earthling admirals this weapon is more an ornament than a true close combat weapon but can be used in a pinch. Straight is very awkward when using it though.

WEAKNESSES:
The appearance of an unknown element in a battle can make him panic and overreact.

Vehicle mode: heavy cybertronian combat aircraft.

Strength: 6
Speed: 10
Intelligence: 10
Agility: 5
Endurance: 8
Courage: 7
Firepower: 8
Accuracy: 6
Hand-to-hand skill: 5
Technical Skill: 10

Bio:
Galrauch is an adept tactician but he prefers to avoid direct combat if possible as he is awkward with his alternate mode. Despite showing potentail Galrauch doesn't have enough drive to be anything more than an excellent strategic planner. Being able to turn a desperate defence into an excellent counter attack.

Weapons:
4 X heavy combat lasers:
Galrauch has modified his standard seeker weapons to fire with twice the normal charge. These give him excellent stopping power at the expense of rapid fire capabilites.

Galrauch is also aremed with a seeker launcher and a pair of short combat blades.

Weaknesses:
Galrauch is an adept tactician but a medeocure warrior.

_________________________________________________________________


Straight tapped his fingers on the top of the holotable as he looked over the terrain in which the decepticons had there base. He was well aware of the numbers and capabilites but the enemy concerned him. Each autobot he spoke with gave a different estimate to the numbers and firepower of the enemy. He had sent out a few scouts to determine the enemies numbers and positions. None of these scouts had returned. This annoyed him as his strategy relies on obtaining an accurate overview of the enemy force. He again looks over the terrain and starts moving small icons representing his available squads into where he would like them to be positioned for the battle. He intended to move them forward slowly and monitor there advance from the air. He was worried however that the terrain would interfere with his sensor systems, thus he finalised his plan to enable each unit to cover those on there flanks.

Walking from the command tent he approached each combat group in turn giving them there preliminary breifings and movement orders. He added that he would supply further orders when they were required otherwise they were to use there own initiative.

It took only a short time for the autobot forces to move into position after there orders had been delivered to them. Straight regarded them on his sensors from his position above the battlesite. Seventy autobot signatures registered on his advanced sensors. His forces moved forward according to his plan. He silently worried about the lack of his data on the enemy force and there composition. His sensors remained dark on any trace of his enemy.

Below camped under the natural carbon formations a group of decepticons lurk safe from detection by Straights sensors. Weapons drawn they and there brethren await the signal from there commander. Each had been fully briefed on the nature of the plan and each knew the part they were expected to play. Straight however was still monitoring the situation flying high above the sector, unaware of the threat to his forces.

In the center of the decepticons base in the war room Galrauch watches the tactical holomap as the players move into position. Parts of his aerial alternate mode present on his robot mode. As his features are lit up by the glow of the map. Soon we shall test this autobot fools tactical prowess. Let us see how well he deals with a Galrauch special.

Straight was now worried his forces were within 800 cybertronain meters of the enemies installation and there was no response. I do not like this. He does another sensor sweep before sending each group a new order. "All forces have a member of your group watch the rear. This feels like a trap so be ready for my orders and any movement." He says through his com system.

Below on the ground the autobot units do as ordered and start to move more cautiously with each group now watching behind them. Straight watches as the meter reader starts counting down 700, 650, 600, 550, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100. Something shifts and Straights sensors light up. "All forces take cover" Straigth shouts into the com system as a force of decepticon energy signals spring into being. One hundred and sixty Decepticon signals appear after his sensors finish there sweep. Below his forces start taking cover in and around the decepticon installation.

In the decepticon war room Galrauch starts laughing as he hits a pair of buttons. One intiates the bases self destruct while the other opens the bases skylight. Galrauch transforms and rockets upwards heading towards Straight.

He flies up level with the autobot tactician. "Well fool you have fallen into my trap. The greatest transformer tacticain is my The great Galrauch." He gloats " Soon my base will detonate and take all of your pitiful autobots with it."

"I know" Straight replies "But that hasn't impaired my tactical planning."

"What in the name of primus are you on about?" Galrauch says. He sins round mid air to witness the detonation of the installation. Multiple secondary detonations start spiralling outwards from the staring point.

"Checkmate" Straight replies as the blasts reach and then tear the decepticon forces apart.

"No" Galrauch hisses "You autobot ******* how could you?"

Straight chuckles before repling. "You speak as if I should care about the lives of those under my command. Doing that means facing definative defeat."

"I would never expect an autobot to do something like that" Galrauch gasps

"The unexpected element lead to your defeat" Straight says

"How was I defeated?" Galrauch hisses "I wiped out your forces"

"That you did but you lost all of your forces which had outnumbered mine two to one." Straight chuckles

"Thats it" Galrauch cries. Opening fire with his cannons as he does so. Straight transforms and drops to avoid the shots drawing and firing his linear disruption rifle as he does so. The shot slams into Galrauch left wing sending him towards the ground. Galrauch transforms as he wing starts smoking. Both combatants slow there descent with a burst of jets.

Galrauch deploys his combat blades. And straight brings his linear rifle to bear. Galrauch charges and Straight fires. The shot slamming through Galrauchs left leg and sending him into the dirt. Straight fires again hitting the decepticon in the back. Galrauch hisses and looks up at Straight.

"You've beaten me now what?" Galrauch coughs after speaking. "Under autobot law I must be placed into custody."

"I know" Straight replies drawing his ornamental saber from its scabbard. "And I don't care" The sword is stabbed through Galrauchs neck severing the link between his metaprocessor and his body before Straight sheaths the blade.

He turns round and starts to walk away, body parts and components from both factions scattered everywhere by the earlier explosions.

Galrauch though he could not move and was in a near stasis lock state starts shouting curses as Straight continues to walk away.

___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - decepticon

A few solar cycles later after the base missies its routine transmission a expediatory force is dispatched from the primary hub. After five more solar cycles in transit the ship enters the system and makes landfall. The small group reported the carnage of what had transpired at the site that had once been the location of the base. The report states that there was one severely wounded survivor.

The report also concludes that due to the lack of any evidence to the contuary that the autobots had gained control of the installation while the decepticons were on routine patrol. They then planted explosives and were trapped before they could retreat. The bases self destruct had probably done the rest of there job for them. The entire incident was cataloged and was then forgotten during the decepticons leadership struggles.

___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - Autobot

Straight submitted his report about a solar cycle after the event. The autobot HQ ignored the report due to the preceeding exile of Straight due to his methods. One of the many archivists working on updating the many profiles of the autobots on active duty. The report of the Naamaah liberation gave Straights profile another black mark to add to the many already present upon it.

Years later autobot recruiters used Straights record and punishment as an example to those who tread the thin line between autobot and decepticon to scare them back into line.

(total:60)

Vehicle mode: Monster truck:
Image

Motto: "If it move I crush it."

Bio:
Motor monster is very large, powerful and incredibly stupid. He is always the one the other road elite members play practical jokes on or give him orders to go and ask for a long wait. He gets very angry at these antics but normally loses interest or forgets about them very quickly. In battle he is a near unstoppable juggernaught is accuracy is very questionable through as it seems he just enjoys the noise his weapon creates rather than getting a confirmed kill. When engaged in close combat he will commonly attempt to bear hug and then crush his opponent. In vehicle mode he enjoys accelerating to his top speed of 300 Mph and crashing into anything he can find with his centralised shield generator active.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: 73,432,100

weapons/abilities:

Centralised shield generator:
Covers his armour in vehicle mode with a very strong force field. He can drive through nearly any material without harm to himself while it is active.

Rapid fire plasma cannon:
Formed from his vehicle modes engine. This area effect weapon emits a deafening noise and unleashes a ball of superheated plasma that explodes mid air showering the nearby area in plasma.

Weaknesses:
Very stupid and can be easily tricked.

Vehicle mode: sports car:
Image

Bio:
The fastest transformer ever constructed Speed daemon can achieve speeds far in excess of all other ground vehicles. He has been rumored to be able to outrun a seeker travelling at its maximum speed and continue to accelerate off into the distance. He gained leadership of the road elite due entirely to his sheer speed. His metaprocessor works 1000X faster than normal and this allows him to react before his foes can register his movements. As of yet his maximum speed has not been registered.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: 73,432,100

weapons/abilities:

Lightning Rifle:
Fires a ray of charged particles that flay an enemies circuitry on contact. The weapon is notoriously inaccurate as even a change in air temperature can alter its tragectory.

Razorwind blades:
Speed daemon has four of these made from his wheel covers. On the interior of the free spinning blades there are handles designed specifically for speed daemons hands. They can be thrown and act as bladed boomerangs. They are also very effective close combat weapons due to the speed of the users movements.

Anti grav unit:
Allows Speed Daemon to drive on any surface.

Weaknesses:
In extremely low temperatures his internal fluids will freeze.

Bio:
The slowest member of the road elite and also the most fuel efficient member. Road king enjoys odd pursuits such as observing plantlife and stesaling anything that isn't nailed down with industrail magnets. He has compromised many missions by refusing to fire upon autobots partially concealed by fooliage. He has no reservations about annihilating organic life though. Of all of the road elite members he is the mosty competant with ranged weaponry and as such he is very heavily armed.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: 73,432,100

weapons/abilities:
2 X artillery cannons:
Mounted on his shoulders these weapons have an effective range of three miles and are reloaded from his subspace compartment. They fire standard HE shells.

Hand held Ion cannon:
Single shot weapon that disrupts the flow of an enemies electrons slowing them down. Three shots before 20 second recharge.

Weaknesses: Fondness for plantlife means he is compromised in jungle operations...

Motto: "You can never have enough explosions."

Vehicle mode: armoured transport:
Image

Bio:
An unpredictable explosives maniac who mixes up new explosives in his moments of inaction. Then he will test these concoctions at the first opportunity to do so. There results however are unpredictable at best and his fellow Road Elite catalog his experiments on a specail chart. With bands including Firework, Stand behind him and 200FT mushroon cloud. This wouldn't be a problem if he just stuck to planting his special weapons rather than crudely strapping them to the missiles for his shoulder mounted launcher. Sometimes these bulging warheads fire and create a massive detonation, sometimes they will get jammed in his launcher and explode. This has led to him being rebuilt countless times but every time he was rebuilt he just blew himself up again. One time he ended up in the medical bay of a mech called Lightning Storm. Since he left that medical bay he has blown himself up multiple times but the armor Lightning Storm equipped has held firm.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: 73,432,100

weapons/abilities:

Custom explosives:
Ragnarok has hundreds of thousands of home brewed plastique explosives stored in his subspace. He can arm and use them separately or he can strap or fuse them to the missile he loads into his shoulder launcher. Ragnarok is immune to damage from his own and any type of explosives.

Shoulder launcher:
A standard issue decepticon weapon. It has been stripped down to the basic unit and then reinforced with blast shielding. Lightning Storm switched out the barrel of the weapon with one made of an odd material that has survived even the most extreme of blasts.

Bang stick:
Ragnarok has a similar number of impact detonation explsives that he straps to crude detonators on the end of steel poles. These detonate when he slams them into a foe. He catches most foes off guard with his reckless attacks as his close combat weapon will detonate after one use. He will then draw another one from his subspace and continue to attack.

Weaknesses:
Home made explosives are unpredictable and can be harmful to allies as well as enemies.

Road wrecker

Primary function : Heavy assault
Sub group : Four robot combiner

Bio:
Road Wrecker like most combiners takes the four separate minds of the decepticons that form him and mashes them into a fine paste. He is incredibly resilient to damage but as bright as a burnt out lightbulb, couple this with his emmense strength, unbelievable firepower and his loyalty to the decepticon cause and you get every decepticons perfect warrior. Road wrecker is highly fuel dependant and as such a time limiter has been installed to force the members of the Road elite to separate before they fall into stasis lock.

Weapons/abilities

Asphalt annihilator:
A weapon formed by linking together all of the weapons of the individual members of the Road Elite. When fired whatever it hits will normally becoming a red hot crater. The weapon would be far more effective if Road Wrecker didn't hold it in his left hand though.

Suspensor systems:
A unique type of energy field that enables Road Wrecker to move much faster than should be possible for his size and wieght.

Energon Glaive:
Close combat weapon with a large energon blade.

Weaknesses
A side effect of his suspensor systems is that unlike other combiners he cannot stride through artillery fire as this will blow him off his feet.[A very powerful close combat blow will have the same affect.] It is then very difficult for him to stand back up again.

_________________________________________________________________

Speed Daemon puts his hands behind his head and lays down on the slope of the hill. Why was he here on this primus forsaken planet for what Road King had called a vacation. Sure it was good to have a break from the insanity of the last few vorns. Darkshock had said that his dark star fortress would force the autobots to leave them alone. Of course he was very wrong and the autobots had launched an assault on the place and being led by the bull headed Storm Hawk they had succeeded and the remaining Decepticons had fled. Speed Daemon was sure that the bots were still searching for them hence why he was on this planet.

All he had done was ask for options. Ragnarok had wanted to blow the bots into fragments, his usual responce. Motor Monster had asked what he was on about, Again what he had expected from the big lummox. Road King had sugested going on vacation to hide from the bots and then reemerge once they had a new leader. Speed daemon had accepted that this was there best option. The planet Road King had selected bored Speed daemon. He'd already blasted round the planet a few times. Ragnarok had truned one continent into a cratered wasteland, Motor Monster had gotten trapped between a rock and a hard place and was too stupid to think his way out while Road king had vanished.

The only thing lacking was something to kill. The entire planet was empty apart from a few forests. Speed Daemon was just slipping into a stasis nap when he com activates.

"Boss, I've found something very interesting wreckage at the following coordinates" Road King says over the system. Speed Daemon transforms and takes off so fast he leaves a mech shaped dust cloud in his wake.

Speed Daemon had been a few thousand miles away from Road Kings location it took him just half a megacycle to cover the distance though. Upon arriving he transforms like liquid metal sliding to a sudden halt right next to the larger form of Road King. Before them is an old rusting hulk overgrown with vegetation. It is about six times larger than there ten mech landing craft on a patch of the hull that is not totally overgrown shows a corroding autobot symbol.

"So how old do ya think it is?" Speed Daemon asks

"Construction is Pre great war three. Id say its at least 90 million years old." Road King replies.

"Fancy takin' a look?" Speed Daemon asks

"Might as well" Road King says following his commander as he moves like liquid towards the ship.

Speed Daemon taps his foot on the earth as it takes Road King 3.5 seconds to tear the old pressure hatch from the autobot craft. As soon as there is a gap large enough for him to enter he draws a pair of razorwind blades, turns on his chest lights and like an orange streak he zooms past Road King in a blurr. Road King shakes his head and ducks into the hatch to take a look for himself.

Speed daemon had rapidly combed the areas he could access. One room stood behind a sealed and undamaged blast door. Annoyed at his lack of a code and the inability of Road King to break it open he had done the unthinkable.

"Ah die cast contruction" Ragnarok says as he looks over the door. "This Vill require my special brew" He adds in the fakest german accent possible. Pulling out a plastique that has a red substance leaking from the detonation pouch Ragnarok looks at it in disgust before scraping it back into the puncture in the device. He plants the thing on the large blast door.

Speed Daemon and Road King evacuate the area so that a thick piece of metal is between them and the plastique. Ragnarok just presses the manual detonation button on the plastique. A few moments pass before the device detonates.

Speed Daemon and Road King wait for two things before reentering the area. For the smoke to clear and the ringing in there auidio receptors to stop. As they walk back into the area the blast door still stands albeit with a large jagged hole blasted through it.

"Works every time" A very black looking Ragnarok says "satisfaction garanteed."

Speed Daemon enters the room beyond and returns a few seconds later. "Run" was all he said before a large claw slams through the blast door behind him.

In a flash of orange he is gone followed by Road King and Ragnarok. The guardian robots stored in the hold of the ship having been brought back online by the detonation tearing there way out of there restraints.

As he escapes from the craft Speed Daemon activates his com while still running three or four times faster than his fellows. "Motor Monster where you at"

Motor Monster had been between the cliff and the really big boulder for longer than he could remember. He had breifly been laughed at by Ragnarok who had make some quip about being between a rock and a hard place. He had forgotten about it a few moments later. He had been trying to think his way out of the situation when he got the call from Speed Daemon. He stops thinking and crashes straight through the boulder and heads towards the transmissions source. "Me head toward you" He says into his com device. He straight lines the terrain towards his fellow Road elite. Smashing through trees and boring holes through mountains.

Speed Daemon spins round and fires his Lightning gun at the Guardians he misses despite there size as the Lightning bolt refracts into a large tree. Ragnarok rams a bang stick into the leg of the lead guardian. The impact detonation device goes off with the same power as a small roman candle. The guardian kicks him aside. Road king hits the thing with his artillery cannons and his ion cannon it shrugs off the shots and reached for him. Moving faster than the guardian could think Speed Daemon runs up its arm and slashes his close combat blades accross its head. He cuts into the optical cable for its left eye and leaps claer as it reaches up to feel its head. A fast moving object slams into its feet knocking it over backwards.

Glowing [the telltale sign of his force shield being active] Motor monster transforms and the glow fades. "What you want me for?" He asks.

Three more guardians crash into view. Speed Daemon smiles "You guys know what to do right"

Each member transforms into vehicle mode and then the four vehicles combine. Road King's vehicle mode splits down the center splitting in half before the legs that have been formed elongate and the upper part of the newly formed pieces transform into a crotch plate and the legs recombine. Linkage ports emerge from Speed Daemon and Ragnarok as the hands of the combined robot emerge from there limb modes. Motor monster's rear quarter folds back and his rear wheels split open to reveal the link ports for the combined robots arms. Speed Daemon and Ragnarok link into The ports and Motormonster links into the legs. Motor monsters roof [the chest of the combined robot] opens to reveal the chest armor of Road Wrecker. The head of the large decepticon slides into view.

Road wrecker looks at the guardians who are now slightly shorter than him. One thought runs through the mush made of the minds of the individuals and that is Destroy. His left arm with his asphalt annihilator grasped in its fist rises and fires three shots in quick sucession. The first ploughs into the ground creating a glowing crater, the second slams into a guardian turning him into instant slag. The third shot misses but brings fourteen trees down in a blazing display.

Unfortunately for the rest of the group of mushed minds Ragnarok's love of explsive weapons takes over the left arm and the asphalt annihilator weapon. The next few seconds pass in a blurr and when the other parts wrestle back control from the raging mind of Ragnarok all that ia ahead of them for a few hundred meters is a burning cratered landscape. Glowing craters and fallen trees smoulder as well as the melted remains of the guardians is all that is left.

A beeping emits from the timer built into the Road Elite as it forces them to disengage. Speed Daemon looks on first in disbelief at the ruined area and then at Ragnarok who was sadistically grinningat the carnage. He turns to Road King.

"I think we'll need to keep a close eye on him from now on" He whispers to the big mech. Road King nods. Speed daeon raises his voice back to normal before speaking again. "Well then let's get off this mudball before we find out that its slagging unicron in disguise"

Soon after the Road Elite leave the planet behind.

Epilouge : - decepticon

A few decacycles later the flagship of the decepticon leiutenant Valnir come accross a small ten mech shuttle of decepticon origins. After picking up the craft and its crew Valnir greeted the crew and had them identified then watched for a few days the results were odd to say the least.

Speed Daemon: After boarding this mech hasn't stopped running laps of the ship. He has slowed down just enough to recharge with a cube of energon but this event is rare. Recommendation: Put back on active duty

Ragnarok: Has had a maniacal grin on his face plate since arrival. Was thrown into the brig for blowing up a landing craft in hangar 14. Random muffled explosions can often be heard through the rooms thick and near indestructable walls. Recommendation: Keep incarcerated until he destroys himself or we go to war with the bots.

Motor Monster: Proceeded to get his head caught in an air vent duct. This mech shows little intelligence but is quick to anger. Recommendation: Tell him to do nothing until needed.

Road King: A silent mech who seems to be the groups heavily armed peacekeeper. He times Speed Daemons laps of the ship, calms Motor Monsters anger and has attempted to get the stupid grin off of Ragnaroks face. He has had little effect on the latter though. Recommendation: take no action.

After getting and reading the report Valnir starts to plot and plan for his rise to power.

Epilouge : - Autobot

One of the craft assigned to the mop up operation lands on the planet Exis IIV. The groups commander Vanquisher leads a survey team out into the wasteland of the once lushious world. He finds the cratered ground, the corrdoed autobot craft and the remains of the guardians. It takes the autobot mop up operation four full solar cycles to complete there survey. The data is logged into the system by Vanquisher.

Mission 560.kmop.897 date line 82,250,000 Unit commander Vanquisher Final report

We reached the planet Exis IIV five solar cycles ago. All of our previous data on this planet indicated that is was a paradise for plantlife and the small organisms that fed off of them. I regret to inform the one who reads this that this is no longer the case. Most of the planets southern hemishere has been carpet bombed into ash. The central rainforest reported during a previous survey has been reduced to a cratered wasteland.

In addition fragments of six guardian robots have been found along with a lost autobot ship that dates from before the third great war. I would recommend that an extraction team takes this priceless thing and puts it in a display where it belongs. We have found no trace of any significant enemy presence on this world so we will now be moving onto our next recon location within the next solar cycle.

So in conclusion it is my belief that this world has been used as a weapons testing ground by the cons and as such I request that a full scientific team be dispatched to follow up on and try and replicate the weapons that caused this damage. It could prove decisive when the cons regroup as we all know they will.

Bio:
Storm Hawk is the leader of the legendary autobot combat group known as the Iron warriors. Storm Hawk prefers to lead from the front carrying out his complex and precision dependant plans. His style of leadership inspires his troops to perform great feats far beyond what they would normally be capable of. Whilst he is an excellent strategic planner Storm Hawk is an accomplished warrior and can fight toe to toe with just about any foe. The method of his construction are a mystery but his frontal armor is very strong. When not in battle Storm Hawk will meditate for megacycles at a time if needs be this can make him seem ignorant or patient to other mechs.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: Date unknown - first noted appearance 57,100,000

Weapons/abilities:

Siege cannon - Alt mode: fires a heavy shell that is capable of breeching fortifications and destroying a building with one shot.

Thunder hammer - Robot mode: this mighty close combat weapon can fracture cybertronian metals with a single blow. It is capable of knocking smaller decepticons into stasis lock with a single blow. It can also be configured to release a blast of energy upon impact although this method requires the weapon to be charged beforehand but it doubles the power of its strike.

Dozerblade - alt mode: Used to annihilate/push through rubble. In robot mode it forms his chest plate giving him strong torso armour.

Note: He is unable to use the siege cannon in robot mode unless he is prone.

Weaknesses
Storm hawk is formidable in close combat but in robot mode he lacks any kind of long range weapon. In vehicle mode his shell because of its sheer wieght can only be fired 200m at maximum elevation. he also has weak armour on his back in robot mode and his rear in vehicle mode.

guest appearances:

Sharpspike - Blue cybertronian seeker
Rank: Decepticon Leadership candidate

__________________________
Name: MegatronX
Rank: Decepticon Leadership candidate
Alt Mode: Cybertronian Hover Tank
Weapons: 2 Atomic Fusion Cannons, Energy Flail, Twin Beam Sabers
Special Abilities: Personal Force Field

Profile:

When the original Megatron was reconfigured by Unicron his spark was exchanged with that of the being known as Galvatron. Both sparks retained the memories of Megatron. When unicron was destroyed Megatrons spark was dispersed and then eons later his spark was reformed through use of black listed technology by a group of decepticon exiles. From there ashes he forged himself a new body drawing the very life from the world he found himself on. This when combined with his cybertronian metals crystallized and formed a material a great deal more resilient.

Instead of relying on what his spark was telling him and what the other decepticons laughed at, he chose to reforge his legacy with his own hands blazing himself a trail and gathering followers as he did so. His unserving belief that might makes right has led him into constant conflict with other decepticons who share a similar position to him in the decepticon hierarchy.

Abilities:

He is one of the most feared Decepticon in the Cybertron’s history. He uses his reputation to get what he wants and if it doesn’t then he crushes those that stands in his way. To crush those he uses the power of his alt mode and fusion cannons. In robot mode he uses his fusion cannons with just as much deadly force as when in his alt mode. He also wields an energy flail, twin beam sabers, and his personal force field in close quarters combat. His armor is made of Trintinium, the hardest known material in the universe and it can with stand a full on assault from nuclear weapons.

Weakness:

His only known weakness is his temper. Once he become engulfed in his rage he tends to make foolish mistakes.

Center Stage 04 - Date line [earth standard years] - 57,190,765 - Planet Karovka
_________________________________________________________________

Storm Hawk sat motionless with his arms crossed while the young autobot warrior in the cell with him paced back and forth.

"You hear terrible things about what these decepticons do to POW's. The slave pits, the tar pits, the smelting pools, backbreaking labor, spark removal, forced reprogramming, gladatorial fighting, summary execution and hundreds of other more gruesome ways for them to kill you" The young mech says as he paces. Storm Hawk still doesn't move or acknowledge him. "How can you be so calm? Don't you know what they are going to to do us? Doesn't that worry or scare you in the slightest?"

Storm Hawk looks up making optic contact with the young mech as he does so. "I don't fear them. I wish they'd just get on with whatever it is they want to do to us."

The young mech goes silent as Storm Hawk returns to his meditation. "Strange guy" the young autobot says before continuing his pacing and ranting.

Storm Hawk thinks about what has happened ignoring his cell mate. The operation had seemed straightforward. Take out the decepticon lieutenant Sharpspike. He had planned the attack perfectly except for one detail. A bounty hunters ship just happened to be in the system when the Iron Warriors attacked. The bounty hunter had done something, perhaps fired something at them and then his memory goes black. He had awoken in this cell with the clearly insane young mech, stripped of his weapon and ammo. His siege cannon no longer gave him a feeling of safety seeing as it would not work.

After another few megacycles he comes out of his meditative state and looks around. The young autobot was in a feotal position on his bunk. The pale stream of leaked lubricants coming from him a testament of this. Storm Hawk stands up and walks over to the far wall. Out of sight of both the door and the camera he had detected in the area. Transforming he rams the wall revealing an energy pipe. Undoing the external valve he holds up one of the empty energon cubes he had been saving and it draws the energy from the valve into itself. Shutting off the valve Storm Hawk downs half the cube and walks back towards his bunk.

Sitting down he puts the cube in his lap and glares directly at the lens of the security camera.

One solar cycle later the door to the cell is flung open. Five heavily armed and armoured decepticons enter One grabs the young mech who starts yelling about the apocalypse and his fate being nigh. The other four advance on Storm Hawk weapons drawn.

"On your feet autobot scum" One says

Storm hawk stands and looks the con square in the optics. "Don't push me" he says stepping into the center of the group.

As they leave the cell block Storm Hawk keeps pace with them while the young mech struggles and fights with the cons. Storm Hawk already knew that he could offline all five assailants faster than they could move but he had decided against it, well at least until he figured out where he was being taken.

He didn't have to wait long. The seemingly endless and featureless metallic tunnel came to an end and opened up into a massive ampitheater. One hundred meters above the main floor was a tradition grandstand only packed full of decepticons. On the far side above a fifty meter high gate Sharpspike lounged in his royal box, on his throne whilst surrounded by a group of femcons who were caressing his armor.

"Fellow Decepticons" Sharpspike Says. Storm Hawk now notes that the five burly cons are gone and that the young mech is whipering and clawing at the door that had closed shut behind them. "I Sharpspike the one true heir to the decepticon leadership will grant you your traditional bloodsport. We have a pair of ruthless autobot assassins...The crowd of cons boo...but fear not for there deaths shall entertain us. Presenting there opponent a very rare Exoor salamander attack drone." The decepticon crowd cheers as the gate below Sharpspike opens and a large creature appears. It is a mechanical lizard for the most part. A large red blister contained within a force field on its head gave away its secret.

Storm Hawk looks around for something to use as a weapon and he finds nothing. Shrugging he casually walks towards the lizard mech. The creature seems to hesitate as if no one had dared approach it before. It then runs forward on its four limbs. As it rears up to strike Storm Hawk transforms and slams into one of its remaining legs. The impact breaks something vital inside the limb and the lizard thing topples forwards. Storm Hawk was already moving in again though. He runs up the things spine and jumps onto the force field generation device. Storm hawk puts his fist into the box and the shield around the blister fades.

Feeling this act perhaps the lizard attempts to swat Storm Hawk with its forelimbs. The autobot grabs a hold of one and the lizard swings him round into its mouth. As its slams its jaws shut over the bot the crowd cheer but only for a moment as the red blister suddenly erupts outwards in a spray of brain matter and circuitry. The creature slumps to the ground and Storm Hawk heaves himself out of the broken blister before collapsing onto the ground. The crowd of decepticons go silent and Sharpspike claps his hand together.

The burly guards reappear and physically drag Storm Hawk and his cowardly fellow back to there cell. Storm Hawk just slumps against his bunk as the last of the blister fluid drips off his frame. He had earned himself a day at most before they tried again and he would be ready for them.

"I told you they would try to kill us" The young autobot remarks.

"Shut up" Storm Hawk snaps. "You are not fit to be a maintenace drone much less an autobot warrior."

"Stop" The young bot says receeding into the corner of the room.

"Listen to survive and escape this slagging place in once piece I will have to put you through basic training." Storm Hawk says. He grabs the young mech by the arm and drags him aside. "Come I have a lot to teach you"

******************************************

It had taken a few solar cycles to get right but Storm Hawk was happy with the progress he was making. "Alright Fairy Dust that's enough for now" Storm Hawk says before retiring to his rest slab.

He watches the door as he hears the sound of footsteps approaching. The door is slammed open and thirty guard cons move in. A blue cybertronian seeker with a cape and crown walks in. "you caused me a lot of grief autobot scum" Sharpspike says glaring at Storm Hawk "Nevertheless you shall serve my purposes. A while longer anyway." Sharpspike turns to the burly cons. "Take this pair to the prep room. Make them ready for the gladatorial contest"

Storm Hawk didn't resist as the guards led him and the now calmed Fairy Dust to a room which they sealed after tossing them into it. A set of flood lights activate revealing an extensive armory. A lot of pillaged weapons adorn the walls. Storm Hawk starts looking for something specific and it doesn't take him long to find it. He removes the prized hammer off the wall and checks its charge pack. He grumbles that it is empty before going off in search of shells for his primary weapon. He only finds one...

*******************************************

Another door slides upwards revealing the ampitheater. Storm Hawk holsters the small pistol with a self recharge and walks forward. His fellow bot has a laser sword and shield along with a shoulder launcher with about five rounds. Storm Hawk notices that another two members of the decepticon leadership were now present in Sharpspikes box. From his mission briefing Storm Hawk could identify them as Darkshock and Megatron X. Darkshock and Megatron X were not his targets at the moment but if he could get rid of all three it would be a bonus.

More doors open around the area. More heavily armed mechs walk out of them. Each sporting two things, a unit number and an ownership symbol. Storm Hawk had noted that he lacked these. His attention is drawn to Sharpspike as he addresses the crowd.

"My fellow decepticons I have collaberated with my brethren Megatron X and Dark Shock to bring you oil bath. A free for all contest of epic proportions."

A crash signals the start of the contest and instantly a wall of fire rings the edges of the ampitheatre. It starts creeping inwards to push the contestants together. Storm Hawks companion runs towards the fight while he holds back. The flames didn't bother him. It was his homing signal that was giving a return signal. He smiles to himself and then calculates the distance to the box containing Sharpspike and his fellows along with a large number of robotrix's. After a few quick sensor sweeps he moves into a run towards his target point. A decepticon looms before him and he swings his hammer at his foe. The strike snaps off the cons jaw plate in a spray of oil. Storm hawk follows this up with a punch to his foes midsection before finishing the con by caving its head in with a strike from his hammer. He kicks his foe aside as he falls over.

Transforming he literally ploughs mechs aside with his dozerblade and drives into the flames, going unnoticed by the cons in the box due to them being captivated by the brawl in the center of the ampitheater. He pushes on as paint starts to peel from his armor and he gets into position and raises his primary weapon to its maximum elevation. He fires the shell he had liberated from the armory. A blast of compressed air throws the shell from the barrel where the fire ignites the propellant sending the shell upwards into the box. The resulting explosion sends femcon limbs and parts raining down into the ampitheater, the energon cubes and dispensers present in the box detonate in a chain reaction tearing through the structure of the box. It then collapses dumping Megatron X and Sharpspike into the ampitheater although Darkshock had vanished.

The fire cuts out and Storm Hawk transforms. Charging towards Sharpspike who has lost most of his armor in the explosion and the use of his left leg in the fall. The decepticon was not able to defend himself. Storm Hawk sets upon him with his hammer. He keeps pounding and pounding on the prone decepticon until something smashes him aside. He goes into a roll and comes back onto his feet to see Megatron X standing there. The large silver con with a stylized X on his chest. Megatron X's right hand cannon is shattered and unusable, he fires the left hand one at the immobile Sharpspike. The weapon breaks and the con discards it after killing Sharpspike.

In the background guard cons rush to execute the survivors of the conflict in the center of the ampitheater. Megatron X draws a pair of energon sabers from his subspace compartment. "You are mine autobot" He snarls before charging.

Storm Hawk meets the first strike with his hammer and finds they they have a near equal strength. But Megatron X has a second weapon. Slashing downwards he cuts into Storm Hawks torso and kicks the autobot to the ground. "Prepare to... Megatron X never finishes speaking as a blast cuts straight through him annihilating his spark in a single strike, with a beam of light that defies all logic. Storm Hawk looks upwards to see a dark shape holding a strange weapon at the top of the ampitheater's seats a split second later and it is gone.

A few more moments pass as the dust settles following the execution of the final gladiator. Storm Hawk's short range com system crackles into life breaking the silence and drawing the attention of the three remaining guard cons. "We have your location commander. Prepare for teleport"

The guard cons rush forwards. Storm hawk manages a headshot with his looted pistol despite his chest wound. The teleport initiates just as the other two get within arms length of him.

******************************************

Storm Hawk finds himself on the teleport deck of the small Iron Warriors craft.

"Care to explain how you manged to get captured despite having the GIGAN?" Sentinel Magnus asks

"No. Just destroy that base" Storm Hawk replies "The GIGAN is in the orbital dockyards of the next planet over. We'll pick it up after you put a pair of cyclonic torpedoes into that deceptinest."

A few moments pass after the torpedoes are fired before a swirling vortex comes into being over the base below. The vortex tears the base and all those caught inside into there component parts. Storm Hawk watches as decepticons are reduced to a pile of components and cease to function. He continues watching until the vortex's subside leaving a pile of spare components lying everywhere on the world below.

"Now Sentinel Magnus. Let us acquire my ship and collect our prisoners from down there." Storm Hawk says

Sentinel Magnus nods and walks over to his command console.
___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - decepticon


A shielded decepticon walks from the pile dislodging some small peices as he does so. Dark Shock shuts off the force field he had liberated from the frame of the now vanquished Megatron X and tosses it back onto the pile. As the rays of the systems star shines over the scene Darkshock rubs his cold metal hands together in anticipation. With the two most powerful contenders for the leadership of the decepticons now dead by the hands of the evil autobots...Oh how he loved using that term...power was now his for the taking. He already knew in his metaprocessor what he was going to build, he just had to get the mechpower to do so.

Looking down at the Spark charge ray that he holstered he tosses it onto the pile as well. As long as that weapon is never again used Megatron's spark will remain stored within it in its memory banks and solid state storage pods. So much for the Mighty Megatron As he walks away to where he concealed his stealth craft he starts laughing to himself.

___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - Autobot

Storm Hawk taps his fingers on the edge of the GIGAN's command throne as he finishes collecting the debris left behind by the vortex strike. He had already made the required log entry detailing every painful detail of his capture and imprisonment. He had filed it with his other unsubmitted reports that he would give to the information offciers of his faction upon his next visit to cybertron. He had achieved most of the Objectives that the autobot high council had given his group within the space of the twenty solar cycles of his imprisonment. Something was missing and he knew exactly what was bothering him

The dark shape that had felled Megatron X with a single shot. Who was he and where did he run to. Storm Hawk moans and consolidates himself by believing that if he was destined to see the mech again then he would but he would be ready for any tricks that the dark mech would pull.

Bio:
Sixstrike was the most feared decepticon assassin in the history of cybertron. He trained a lot of pupils in his time with Deadly silence and Deadstop being the most successful of them all. He was silent and could hide in plain sight despite not being equipped with any form of stealth system. However he is a loner and will never call for aid. Ruthless and strong he remains silent until he wishes to speak. Normally this will be a short, blunt remark.

Weapons/abilites:
Dragonian fang:
A deadly knife made from a material not found in normal space it has the ability to warp at the users command strike a critical blow and return to its owner without him revealing himself. This weapon is capable of cutting through any armor.

Optical illusion:
Sixstrike can not be seen unless he wants to be seen.

2 X silenced laser rifles
weapons with a 400X optical zoom and precision mounts, stabilizers, flash supressor. Combined together this means that Sixstrike can hit targets to within 2mm at up to twenty miles away and to within 20mm at fourty miles.

Starblade:
A weapon forged in the heat of a sun. It's edge never dulls and it is capable of slicing through any metal.

Center Stage 05 - Date line [earth standard years] - unknown - pre start of the third great war - cybertron
_________________________________________________________________

Sixstrike was perched on the top of the autobots com antenna and surveyed the area of Tagan Hieghts below. The new weapons he had been presented with seemed odd to him but he couldn't figure out why. The sword was very sharp and extremly light while the knife seemed to want to move of its own accord whenever he held it. Ignoring the odd feeling he was getting from his gifts he jumps from the top of the com antenna landing perfectly in a pre-prepared cushion thus preventing any damage to his person. Jumping from the landing site he blends into the crowd of autobots. His weapons and insignia having been concealed through the use of an energon casket. Keeping pace with the crowd Sixstrike scans the areas he passes for potential hiding places and escape routes for when he was finished in this area.

"Come all you unbelievers in the covenant of Primus" an autobot preecher shouts "Hear of the terrible fate that awaits you unless you believe and follow the teachings of our great forefather. Firepower, wealth and or skill at arms will not save you from his wrath, only by submitting fully unto his teachings will you be saved from your own doom."

Sixstrike hurries past and finds what he is looking for. Moving quietly through the crowd he darts into an abandoned machinists shop. Within one of his assassin brethren waits for him.

"Sixstrike my brother. I assume your journey was bloodless." the assassin begins "but that is none of my business. you want my information right?"

Sixstrike nods taking a medallion from his subspace compartment and throwing it at the other mech who catches it and looks at it.

"You already knew I was going to aks for this didn't you?" The assassin says, Sixstrike simply nods his hand straying towards the concealed hilt of his new sword as he picks up on a sound outside. "Well then master assassin Sixstrike in the name of the autobot high council I declare you...

Sixstrike cuts the imposter down where he stands. "Violating the life of a member of my brotherhood invites death" Sixtrike mutters from memory, snagging a grenade off of the falling body as he does so.

A bright flash detonates and the autobot enforcers charge in through the ground level openings. Sixstrike perches on the rafters of the building as the enforcers systematically search the structure. Two begin setting explosives and Sixstrike starts to move. Heavy fire follows his movement as He transforms into his lizard mode and bounds out of one of the rear windows of the building. Transforming back to robot mode and hurls the scavenged autobot grenande into the opening before running towards the closest hiding place.

A few seconds later the building detonates sending large chunks of metal raining down on the civilians. Though some are injured there are no fatalities. Sixstrike waits in his hiding place until the medical corps arrive and then using them as cover he dives down a side street and heads towards the message drop site.

Standing on the top of the die cast forge he looks at the deserted square that serves as the assassins drop point for messages. Pulling out his multi scan binoculars he looks at the area below. He identifies fourteen separate anomalies in the level of the ground below. Sixstike puts the binoculars back into his subspace compartment and jumps off of the roof and into the back alley. He slides the grate off of the sewer access and slides into the tunnels below.

*****************

The autobot police sergeant tapped his chronometer. The designated time that they had extracted from the captured informant had expired. Tapping a code into his com system he gives the clear signal. His troops shut off there holo camoflauge systems and he moves over to the assassins drop point. Pulling off the hidden lid off the stash he finds it to be empty.

"What in the name of primus" The sergeant says leaning further forward and looking at the hding pace in full. He slams the lid down and walks towards his forces. "Get me the detectivebots I want to know how the message was taken from under our guard."

*****************

Sixstrike lay motionless and prone on top of the structure. Around him the exhaust fumes being pumped from the forges below gave him natural cover and masked his heat signature. He had drawn one of his rifles and dug in a tripod for stability. He takes one of the link cables from the rifle and plugs it into the side of his head. Instantly the small camera inside the rifles chamber transmits to his HUD. Moving the weapon slowly he surveys the target area. According to the tip he picked up his target would make a tour of the hieghts within the solar cycle. The autobot inforcers were everywhere by now. He coud see them fortifying the area. Noting there displacement he realised that they were attempting to stop him. His sniper's scope shows him the modified hovercargo transport that the target would be using. Sixstrike identifies the weaknesses of the transport and stores the data for his future use.

He remained stationary for a further 12 megacycles before he catches sight of his target. His finger tightens on the trigger of his rifle but he releases it once he detects that something was blocking his shot. As his target moves he notices the sheen of the armourglass over the window. Silently cursing he continues to watch the activities going on below.

*****************

The target, autobot senator Nomel emerges from his lodgings and with an honor guard of enforcers and together they board the hovercargo. More Enforcers take up position on the vehicle as Sixstrike watches. He notes that a VTOL craft was now on the top of the structure, however it is silent. Sixstrike allows the hovercargo to proceed on its tour of the hieghts. As soon as the vehicle was out of sight Sixstrike notices movement on the roof of the structure. Zooming in he observes a few figures entering the VTOL craft. As the building below him vents he fires a tracking device from his rifle which lodges into the outer structure of the vehicle. Reseting his rifle he continues to wait as the VTOL craft rises and flies off.

He hones his sight onto his target as the hovercargo reappears. He had waited for 3 megacycles for his chance. Streching his trigger finger he lightly depresses the trigger and holds out for a clear shot.

*****************
The sergeant relaxes. "It would seem as if our security was unneeded as our friend must have chickened out" He says

"Not home free yet" The hovercargo replies

"I know just be ready" The sergeant says as the senator walks from the hovercargo and into his honor guard. The instant he is not covered by the armor glass of the hovercargo a shot lances down and cuts right through the senators head.

*****************

Sixstrike curses as the target flickers then walks through the stunnder honor guard. A frakking hologram, then that means. The enforcers below start firing at his location as the hovercargo starts to transform. Sixstrike sub spaces his rifle and transforms into his lizard mode. Taking a run up he leaps into the air bullets and lasers filling the air around him.

He lands on the head of the hovercargo mech before leaping off and skidding to a halt on top of the senators building. Transforming into robot mode he throws his knife which slices through a cooling tower on the next building over. It returns to his hand on demand and he spends a nano click staring at the weapon before transforming into his dragster mode. Igniting his engines he rockets forward. accelerating up the fallen cooling tower gunfire chases his path as he jumps into the air. Transforming again he changes into his helo mode.

Tilting right he lowers his altitude and starts putting buildings and distance between him and the enforcers all the while following thr tracer he attached to the VTOL craft.

*****************

"Hexagonal nuts" The sergeant shouts punching the wall of the senators building, the metal buckles under his hit. "How can one fragging mech evade us so easily and make us look like a bunch of fools."

"We win though. Senator safe" the large mech behind him says.

"Your right, just make sure the elite we have placed around him of what has happened." the sergeant says

"I done that"

"Good"

*****************

Sixstrike had made anough distance to alter his modes into his own VTOL mode and thus the increase in speed had allowed him to find where the autobot craft had ended up. It was a sealed building though so he transforms into robot mode and lands in a crouch on top of the structure. Drawing his sword he starts cutting through the metal.

****************

The senator cowers in the far corner of the 'safe house'. His enforcer bodyguard had been discussing the events that had happened at the site where he had been scant breams earlier. They had attempted to calm him down by saying that he could not and would not be found by the one who was hunting him. Hearing a sound they had walked off leaving him alone. The door to the room slams and he hears the electronic lock kick in as they leave. The darkness in the room is near absolute but he senses that something is in there with him. He feels a sharp pain in his chest for an instant before he feels nothing.
___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - decepticon

Sixstrike having performed the deed he had been tasked with returns to the top secret lair of the decepticon assassins. He finds that his teacher and master has vanished. He finds a note with his mentors personal seal on it in his personal quarters though. The contents of the manifest he finds with the note gives him the reasons behind his most recent mission and why he was presented with the knife and sword.

Within a cybertronain year the decepticon assassins vanish from common knowledge leaving behind little behind the deeds that they commit. Sixstrike becomes a near mytical figure with his very name being mentioned enough to have his intended victim kill themselves rather than face the inevitable. In the hieght of his infamousy he was able to use his Dragonian Fang to strike at his target if he could draw a line of sight from his location to theres. These events lead to mass hysteria and mysterious legends being spread amongst the population of cybertron.
___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - Autobot

The enforcers come back to where they left the senator. After opening the sealed room they find him with a hole throuygh his chest and his spark chamber. Quarantining the room they searched every square cybertronic mini inch of the place but could find no evidence that anyone besides them and the senator had been in the room. The air vents were two small for any mech larger than a minicon and the door which was the only entrance had been secured by the electronic lock to which only the enforcers on duty knew as they had made it up on the spot when locking the door. There was no weapon indicating a suicide and there was no trace. Yet carved into the ground the senator had fallen on was a message.

I strike in six places at once
I can do what you think impossible
For to me its a challenge
This is my job.


The autobot authorities keep this information quiet in a attempt to reduce the panic the senators death would cuase amongst the population. Fortunately the enforcer sergeant had other plans and employed the specially crafted hologram he had created to represent the senator in his public appearances. During one of these however the senators platform explodes reveailing the hoax for all to see.

BIO: Burnout is brash and arrogant too much for most decepticons. He believes himself superior to all of the others and rarely engages in conversation. his commanders have punished him for failure to follow orders on numerous occasions but burnout still pulls the same old stunts. If he was not an excellent scout he would have been reduced to hot slag more than once. Secretly burnout's ambitions lie with the rulership of the decepticons so he has tried to find weaknesses in his commanding officers in order to climb through the ranks. Due to his personality he is not well liked and as such when his dirty underhanded tactics work he is not considered to replace the officer who was lost. Unfortunately for the replacement Burnout never loses sight of his dream and as such will start planning more accidents, such as tipping off an autobot base to expect and attack, rigging a faulty demolition charge to detonate, tampering with a drop pod or backstabbing or further his dream.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

With the ability to see in all known vision types nothing escapes his recon. in vehicle mode he is fast and yet silent. He can see what is happening for about a mile all round himself due to his advanced sensor systems.

1 X standard issue decepticon laser rifle with flash suppressor.

1 X laser blade bayonet. [can be wielded like a kinfe or clipped onto the laser rifle for advanced melee.]

Tactical grenades:
Burnout usually carries a disproportionate amount of these 'tactical grenades' He often fogets to check which type he pulls from his subspace and becuase they range from containing luminous paint to a strong EMP field they are hard to predict when he uses them.

WEAKNESSES: Arrogance can lead to infighting with other decepticons.

Firepower: 7
Accuracy: 9
Hand-to-hand skill: 2

Vehicle mode 2: Assault tank
Image

BIO:
Isolator is what you would call a textbook decepticon warrior. While he is a triple changer he does not exhibit many of there normal trends such as insanity and/or transformation difficulties. He is a very hard worker and a capable combatant. While he is not as strong as some other multi changers Isolator is blessed with a very strategic mindset where he will isolate and destroy the weakest of his foes during combat and then repeat the process until no targets remain.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Tank/arm cannon: As this weapon draws its energy from a highly unstable but powerful isotope that is contained within a magnetic force field deep within the weapons circuitry Isolator has a near unlimited amount of shots. When fired the combination of the cannons barrel and magnetic force field speeds the resulting blast of concentrated radiation to five times the speed of light, this blast is then capable of annihilating the force that binds atoms together thus turning whatever it hits into a fine ash like substance.

Combat dagger:
A very short laser blade that is more ceremonial than practical due to Isolator having 'butter fingers' according to his drill sergeant.

WEAKNESSES:
If his cannon is damaged beyond the point where it can sustain the magnetic force field it will explode with a force that is almost equal to an old omega bomb, But releases the same radiation fired from his cannon rather thna a conventional plasma charge.

BIO:
Guillium became lieutenant due to his ability to follow and give commands and his formidable skills as a warrior. Although he is equipped with a pair of missile launchers mouthed in his chest he prefers to fight his foes in close combat where is physical might counts for so much more. Being heavily armored he was few weaknesses apart from his reduced speed. He is a strict follow to the code of decepticon law and will always enforce it where it is needed.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Chest mounted MML:
The multiple missile launchers are concealed inside heavily armored compartments mounted in each side of his upper chest area. These missiles can fire a barrage of about 50 missiles in a few seconds. It then takes about two minutes for the missiles to be restocked from his sub space compartment.

Combat staff:
With a massive kinetic circular saw mounted on the tip of this weapon a full on impact is capable of fracturing a whole space craft into peices. The only problem is that its is very heavy and cumbersome and can overbalance the user if they act recklessly whilst using it.

WEAKNESSES:
Guillium has no known physical weaknesses.

Courage: 9
Firepower: 7
Accuracy: 10
Hand-to-hand skill: 9

Vehicle mode: Modified seeker
Image

BIO:
Scythewing is a thug pure and simple. He enjoys beating up and anyone and anything that he considers to be a lesser lifeform than himself. This to him means anyone with a lower rank than himself. In combat he loves committing passes on his foes beheading them with his bladed wings before blowing them to bits with his rocket launchers on a return trip. When required to follow orders he wil always bend the order to it breaking point when he gets bored with the task, unfortunately this happens a lot as Scythewing is short on patience.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Combat blades:
His wings and deployable melee claw are made from a material that channels a negative magnetic field so it can cut through almost anything with ease.

2X standard issue HE rocket launchers:
Standard seeker weapons, Scythewing has about 70 missiles stored in subspace at any given time.

WEAKNESSES:
Scythewing has a problem following orders.

Speed: 7
Intelligence: 8
Agility: 5
Endurance: 10
Courage: 10
Firepower: 8
Accuracy: 7
Hand-to-hand skill: 9
Technical Skill: 6

Vehicle mode: Decepticon mark IIX destroyer class shuttle craft (very similar in design to the nemesis)

BIO:
Archeagle rather than hate where he has ended up in the decepticon heirarchy relishes it. He takes pleasure in adminastering the many punishments his rank allows him to apply. When called on to fight he is a formdable opponent as he is faster than his size would suggest. He lacks firepower in robot mode but he is perticulary skilled in close combat with his choice weapons. He also takes great pride in his jobs and commonly instills fear in most base commanders.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

2 X combat staffs
Each of these weapons are very heavy and transfer a great deal of momentum into whatever they hit. A single strike can send a foe flying. The weapons can also be transformed into barbed electrified whips that are designed to rends through armor and cuase pain. While normally used to administer punishments the weapons can be used to incapacitate and capture enemies during combat.

Alt mode standard weapons
14 X heavy repeater cannons :- fires heavy explosive shells capable of cracking open a ship. Fire rate estimnated as 20 rpm.
4 X seeker torpedo tubes :- Fires either implosion armour crusher torpedoes or infernus class incendary torpedoes.
2 X matter/anti matter fusion artillery cannons :- Weapons that have a massive destructive capability as they are more than capable of cracking open a planet's crust

It should be noted that Archeagle can make use of a single repeater cannon whilst in robot mode.

WEAKNESSES:
Archeagle cannot fire the repeater cannon in robot mode unless he has a fixed base for his feet otherwise the recoil will throw him off his feet.

Burnout leaned back in his chair and planted his feet on top of the communications console. Putting his hands behind his head he relax's.

"I swear that if you spent enough time on your plans as you do on your breaks you'd suceed." Isolator says as he enters. Burnout activates one of his optics and looks at the other mech. "Oh what is the point you never listen to me anyway."

The triple changer with his part said sits down in the other seat and starts working away. Burnout just optics him before taking a stasis nap.

*******************************

His chair is kicked over waking him from his nap and a harsh voice shouts at him "Get to work you lazy piece of scrap"

Burnout makes a show of stretching before looking up at Guillium the bases commander. "Just making sure I'm ready in case of a sudden attack commander." Burnout says "You need to be fresh to perform best"

"I swear that if you could fire your arrogance you would destroy a slagging galaxy." Guillium says crossing his arms "As for your current state I want forty laps of the base's perimeter out of you before you can recharge." The mech activates his com system "Scythewing report to launch hanger 12. Make sure Burnout completes forty laps of the base's perimeter. Remember you have the green light to give him appropriate guidance if he strays from the course."

*******************************

As Burnout speeds round the course that follows the bases perimeter he takes the time to think. Having already got the course programmed exactly into his nav systems he contemplate how he can rid himself of Guillium and put himself in command.

Above Scythewing was already very bored and Burnout was following the course too perfectly. The seeker decided to have some fun. Loading some missiles he opens fire.

Burnout is snapped from his meticulous planning by the seeker firing at him. Damn Scythewing why can't he just count the laps like any of the other mechs in that station. I'll have to get him back for this and I know just how to do it. Burnout swerves to avoid another detonation. He starts multitasking as the very impatient seeker continues to fire at him and he avoids the fire and maintains the course.

*******************************

When his forty laps are up Scytheiwng lands behind him and punches him in the back of the head. "Next time don't slack off or I won't fragging miss and you'll end up in the care of our very helpful mecidal officer. A quick request and I'll make sure you don't slack off ever again. Now slag off and recharge before I rip off your head shove it forcefully up your exhaust pipe." Scythewing punches Burnout again putting the decepticon on the floor. He walks away chuckling to himself.

Burnout mumbles a standard decepticon curse before climbing to his feet. Muttering about the annoying seeker he drags himself to the mess hall and grabs an energon cube. He takes a seat and puts his feet up onto the nearest table. He downs four cubes before deciding upon what he would do to Scythewing.

******************************

Four solar cycles later

Scythewing looks up from where he had been working on his weapons and moves over to his door. Looking around he mumbles something about the base being haunted. He had been on edge since Burnout had remained under Guilliums radar since the com room punishment and since Burnout was the least likely mech in the universe to learn his lesson. He was planning something Scythewing was sure of it. Turning back into his quaters he returns to his work. Behind him the ventalation shaft opens quietly and his personal locker is dragged into the opening and replaced with a near identical one. Burnout drags the old locker deeper into the vent system reaching the hub he flips open the lid.

Inside Scythewings locker he finds a few vid disks marked 'Fembots gone wild', 'Mechbunnys oil spill special' and 'Horn hooters' amongst others. A few old images of emperor Galvatron a case of malt energon and a few old issues of a discontinued Decepticon magazine. Digging in deeper Burnout finds some old trophies and a broken autobot com unit. Taking the com unit he simply shuts the lid and leaves the box in the vent hub.

******************************

3.7 Megacycles later - Scythewings quarters

Quartermaster Archeagle walks around the room as Scythewing watches along with Guillium from the doorway. After walking around for a half a bream he turns his attentions first to the repair bench and casually looks over what is present. He then very calmly slides Scythewings locker into view and opens the lid. Inside is a large number of petrorabbits and all that is recquired to maintain them. Archeagle flicks one of his combat staffs from his forearms and slowly turns to face Scythewing.

"Corperal Scythewing, The keeping of petrorabbits is against the laws of this installation. The punishment is as follows. You shall be stripped of your rank and shall never again be eligable for promotion. Second you will receive a public physical punishment and once that is done you will be shipped off planet for reassiagnment." The quartermaster says

"But..." Scythewing tries to say but only suceeds in getting hit on the chin by the combat staff.

"You will not speak until you are told to washout" Archeagle says spinning the combat staff down to his side. "Lieutenant Guilium, you are required to prepare this non entity for punishment or face the same punishment as him. You must then choose a member of your staff for promotion to corperal which must be announced after they have witnessed the punishment."

The Quarter master starts to walk away before he adds. "You have four breams"

******************************

Central assembly room - Four breams later

Burnout rubs his hands together as quarter master Archeagle leads Scythewing into the room via an electrical impulse collar. A rather distraut looking Guillium follwoing closely behind. Archeagle locks Scythewing into place with electromagnetic clamps.

"I bring before you today Scythewing. He has been found guilty of possession of contraband and will now be punished." Archeagle pronounces to the assembled crowd of decepticons.

In an instant both of Archeagles combat staffs are in his hands. He depresses a pair of buttons and the ends segment into bladed whips. Pressing a second button releases a charge of electricity he then starts raking the weapons across Scythewings back. Sparks fly off the impacts as the weapons chip chunks from Scythewings armor. The seeker refuses to cry out instead clenching his hands to concentrate his mind on something other than the pain. Archeagle continues his punishment for another bream before he sheathes his weapons. Scythewing once released from the electromagnetic clamps spits a large glob of energon from his mouth onto the ground. Archeagle then leads Scythewing away. Guillium then shudders as he realises just what archeagle had said when he had walked off.

"Fellow decepticons with the expulsion of corperal Scythewing our great quarter master has instructed me to choose a sucessor. I have chosen the best possible candidate for this placement. Despite his many acts of stupidity he is the next in line for a promotion according to high command." Guilium says to his fellow cons. "Therefore I bregrudgingly appoint Burnout as the new corperal. I should also note that even with his new rank he is still unable to give commands unless something happens to make me unfit for leadership."

Burnout slyly smiles at this for he had not yet finished with his plans for Guillium yet.

******************************

Guilliums quarters - 10 Megacycles later

Guillium paced back and forth being as he was too tense for a stasis nap. Come sunrise Archeagle would be inspecting his personal quarters and annoyingly The quartermaster had deemed the quarters belonging to Burnout the best he had seen at this outpost. Sure burnouts quarters were never tidy and he had a voodoo doll shaped like the current autobot commander but why did he get the thumbs up. Guillium takes another swing from his personal energon stein as he walks past it. A disolveable pill drops from the vents above and lands directly in the energon. Guillium takes another swig and almost instantly feels the effects of the additions.

He drops to his knees before collapsing of exhaustion. The vent above creaks open and a figure drops down from above. The figure produces a meltacutter tool and gets to work.

******************************

6 megacycles later

Archeagle stands in Guilliums doorway. The door smashed in behind him as he looks down at Guillium. He rubs his hands together in glee as he notices that Guillium had lost his head, quite literally though as someone had removed it. Behind him Corperal Burnout manages to just restrain himself from laughing. Archeagle turns round and grabs Burnout's hand.

"I know you've been up to your old tricks again my freind" he says

"Heh heh. Like I said last time you old con artist. You can't prove anything." Burnout replies

Guillium stirrs from his slumber to find himself looking at the interior of his wast disposal unit and he starts shouting. A hand reaches in a pulls him out. Thye hand belongs to Quarter master Arch eagle. "I am ashamed of you Guillium. Losing your head before a vital inspection. I am taking you off planet for reassignment. You will not be subjected to any punishment from me as that is high commands descision. In your stead corperal Burnout shall assume command of this facility until such time as a replacement is assigned to this place."

Guillium remains quiet knowing that he had been beaten by the mech he had considered to be a slacker. Burnout had fooled him into false security then taken advantage of it. He knew though that eventually Burnout would get his commupance when the universe balances itself out once more.
___________________________________________________________

Epilouge

With guillium, scythewing and Archeagle gone life returns to normal for those stationed in the base. Burnout with his temporary post of lieutenant commander of the base appoints Isolator as his second in command for the duration of his time as commander. It takes a very long time for this data to filter through to merit high commands attentions. By the time it was looked at the base had been decomissioned due to the energon mines underneath it running dry. The request for a new lieutenant was simply ignored with Burnout being granted a permenant rank instead.

***********************

Scythewing caught the eye of the decepticon emperor Valnir and for a time served as a member of his elite guard forces. he was eventually killed in year 96,001,034 by the predacon Galrauch when his group was ambushed while on a rescue mission.

***********************

Guillium was reassigned four times and ended up being charged with in subordination in the year 94,270,000. He was incarcerated in a high security prison and remained there until he was killed during a riot in the year 160,000,080.

***********************

Archeagle

Continued doing his job flawlessly unti he was declared missing in the year 96,500,000.

***********************

Isolator

Served under Burnout for many vorns before being transferred between commanders and posts. Was found to be an autobot spy in the year 107,045,000 and was killed while trying to escape from a top secret laboratory with vital data and experimental prototypes.

***********************

Burnout

WAs never officially granted any rank above that of lieutenant. Using his influence and connnections he gets posted to a remote sector that is primarily concerned with ore mining. He remains in this post until the year 234,763,901 when the ore runs out and he is transferred to another ore mining facility. He remains at that site until the year 368,072,615 when Lord Vulcan recruits him and those under him for his perposes.

Name: Vulcan

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: 400,001,150. Date of the completion of this body by the tyrantrope technicians

Alt mode 1:
decalto dragon {white}
Image
Alt mode 2:
Delkalt dragon {white}
Image
Note: Each alt mode's respective robot mode is slighty different in appearance to the other alt modes robot form.

Weapons:
2 X linear lasers
Each fire a laser between a matched pair of electromagnetically charged blades that increase the weapons speed and destructive power to about 40 times more than a fusion cannon. Fired as a matched pair in his alt mode they are mounted above his combat blades in his first robot mode form and can then be individually fired. He does not possess them in his second robot form.

2 X charged metal scythes
Only usable in his robot forms. Vulcan can utilise a pair of matched short scythes. By utilising laser mesh and gyro balance tech the scythes are not as cumbersome as his previous version being able to sustain drastic course changes with the minimum of effort.

2 X charged metal combat blades.
Forming the tips of his wings in his first alt mode, the claws of his second alt mode as well as retractable combat claws mounted within both of his robot form's wrists these weapons can cut through any material. Be using a monomolecular blade combined with laser mesh and sonic vibration transmision technology the weapons are much lighter and stronger than most equivilents.

Abilities:

Self restoration:
As long as his core is not damaged Vulcans form will regenerate through use of CR circuitry. This process is quite slow but is very effective.

Pre emptive logic:
Vulcan has the capacity to predict what his opponent will do next in a close combat environment therefore most opponents are dead before they know what hit them. It is known that Vulcan can use this ability to predict the spread of incoming fire from projectile weaponry and avoid it.

Reconstructive structure alteration:
To switch into his second Alt mode {and therefore his second robot mode} by creating a minicon from parts of his structure. By recombining with this minicon he can return to his first alt mode.

Broken speech circuitry:
Vulcan cannot say certain vowels while in either of his alt modes. He cannot say a or o unless he is in either robot mode.

Psychic link:
Through use of a psychic link Vulcan can communicate with his minicon and see through its eyes if nessessary.

Psychic shielding:
This protects vulcan from psychic intrusion/attack but he must deactivate it when he wished to use the psychic link he shares with his minicon.

Mercury energon:
They never needs to recharge as long as they have enough 'mercury energon' blood in there systems. they can generate more of this substance by absorbing energy through there outer layer.

Vulcan retains interplanetary flight capabilites and heat shielding.

Center Stage 07 - Date line [earth standard years] - 400,001,450 - Planet Caladaris
_________________________________________________________________

The wish granter. A relic from a time long before it was ever recorded. It eventually became a legend to almost all races that came to exist in the vast universe. No proof has ever been found that the relic even exists. Vulcan had been told this many times since he first became the commander of the decepticons. Thus he had discarded an old data file from when he was on Caladaris during the dark years. A file that mentioned the wish granter which he had downloaded from a dead husk of a mech. Only when Gigatrion rose up and struck after a peaceful end to the fourth great war had finally been found did it return to Vulcan's metaprocessor. Leaving Radnar in command had been easy, the riotcon had proven his abilities since the start of the fifth great war.

Without his aid Vulcan knew that he would have never been able to force the rebels off cybertron. Vulcan had taken an excavation team with him to help him in his objective.

The strike cruiser was small fast and very cramped. Vulcan was sure he could achieve a faster speed under his own power but he endured the boredom for he might end up needing the excavation team and there drilling equipment. He watches as the orb of the world known as Caladaris, the world he considers his homeworld, comes into view. Vulcan initailizes the landing system and starts calibrating them to compensate for Caladaris's irregular orbit and chaotic axis that resulted in its 15 earth hour day having 11 hours of darkness. This meant that the multiple deadly varieties of plants and animals that thrive in the dark continue to live.

***************************************

Landing site. Caladarian time 02.40 - darkness.

The strike craft lands with a blast of retroes and lands on the rocky outcrop that Vulcan had identified as a landing site. Massive floodlights mounted on the underside of the craft come to life and illuminate the immediate area around the landing site. Gnarled crusher vines retreat from the light into the darkness beyond the ring of light around the ship. The landing ramp lowers and Vulcan walks out in his first alternate mode. He sniffs and analyzes the air before turning to the excavation unit.

"Light in thr brams" He says to them. In response they nod having gotten used to Vulcan's speech impediment during there time aboard the strike cruiser. "Bring th drill and th sptlight whn w mv ut."

As he had known the weak sunlight from the distant and blackened Caladarian star covered the land in a semi light. this was enough to ward off the caladarian vegatation and predators. Vulcan moved off with the excavation team following closely behind. With his expert guidance they reached the Caladarian landmark know simply as 'the crater'. A vast meteorite had once impacted upon the planets surface. The meteor had then been mined by the natives of the planet and used to create the many machiens they used during there wars. Those machines had long since been buried under the surface of the world. The crater was one of the few places on Caladaris where the killer plantlife didn't grow and also the place where according to the data the wish granter could be found.

**************************************

What Vulcan did not anticipate however is that Gigatrion knew what he was doing and had dispatched one of his top lieutenants and a strike force to steal the artefact once it was uncovered.

Burnout brushed the plantlife aside and observed Vulcan and the group he had brought with him setting up powerful spotlights, a generator and a large drilling apparatus. He watches them activate the spotlights and can't understand why. He turns to his strike team and whispers. "Maintain a watch from this excellent cover. Move in once they've uncovered the wish granter and kill them all."

Darkness falls suddenly and the spotlights come on. A single spec of light in a near pitch black world. Something hot splatters onto Burnouts visor as a gurgle is heard from the mech next to him. Burnout activates his headlights and they reveal that the mech next to him was already dead. Caladarian gnarled crusher vines had snapped every robotic muscle in the robots body and then crushed his skull. They were sucking out his energy as Burnout stumbles back away from the sight and falls onto his back. His lights illuminate more of his strike group whom had suffered the same fate. A burst of flame from nearby indicated that Pyro was still functional. Burnout shifts his view in Pyro's direction just in time to see something shoot out from the darkness impale him through the chest and tear him into fragments in less than a second. Pulling the remains back with it.

Burnout grabs his laser bayonet and stands ready to face whatever comes for him. Something grabs his legs and before he can react he is throw aside. Crashing down onto the ground he bounces a few times skidding out into the edge of the crater. He tries to stand but finds that his legs no longer work. he shines his headlights down to reveal them only to find that they have been ripped clean off below the knee. He starts pushing himself away from danger as more Gnarled crusher vines snake towards him. Something grabs him from behind and he is lifted clear of the vines which pull back.

"Well well. What do we have here?" a voice says from behind him and he looks round to see Vulcan [robot mode] standing over him. Burnout scrabbles for a weapon but finds that he is now unarmed. "So you tried to outsmart Caladaris itself...Vulcan makes a tutting noise...not a smart move considering that this is one of the deadliest death worlds in the known universe." Vulcan then picks him up and holds him at arms length.

"Don't look down on me you fragging loyalist" Burnout retorts.

Vulcan taps a finger on his chin for a few moments before smiling and looking directly at Burnout. "OK" He says before slinging Burnout into the sky "Now I have to look up at you instead". Vulcan starts chuckling at his own joke.

As Burnout vanishes from sight the word 'slagtard' can be faintly heard from his direction. Vulcan then returns to observing the drilling operation.

**************************************

It takes almost four megacycles to break through to the chambers underneath 'the crater'. It takes another megacycle to set up and deploy the ranger drone.

Vulcan taps his fingers on his forearm as the drone transmits back footage. 12 seconds of it before something smashes the drone into smithereens.

"I could have told you that wouldn't work." Vulcan says "The catacombs are the permenent home of some of the deadliest creatures on this death world. If the wish granter is down there I will be the only one who will have a hope of staying alive. Prep the light towers and follow me down in precisely 0.2 breams."

Before anyone could stop him Vulcan had dived into the hole and into the darkness below. His systems, sensors and even optics instantly adjust to the pitch black conditions. Something moves then screams as its claw gets disected by Vulcan's charged metal scythes. Before it can recover its bleeding to death on the ground with its internal organs torn to shreds. A large cylinder lowers through the drill hole and instanly the chamber is bathed in light to reveal four more creatures the same as the first all lying dead. Each creature has two arms each ending in razor sharp claws of hardened bone. Bony armor covers almost all of the creatures body which now being torn open reveals its second internal skeleton and its centralized organ system where only surgically applied melee strikes could bring the creature down. Vulcan had carved holes into the beasts hearts and he stood there with there purple blood dripping of his armor and weapons, pooling around his feet. He turns to look as the members of the excavation team descend into the chamber. He kicks a ragged chunk of metal over to them which clatters to the ground.

"Don't use drones, they won't last very long" Vulcan warns as he sheaths his weapons. "Follow behind me with portable illuminators. Deploy them every twenty cybertronian meters. Do not stray outside there sphere of effect."

Vulcan leads the excavation team forward into the next chamber. No further creatures emerge to confront the group but when the lights illuminate the area they reveal nothing but a few rusted hulks of ancient caladarian machines. Part of what would appear to be a massive tank with fifteen peeling layers of 4mm thick armor, Four sets of articulated tracks and a massive cannon with a strange coil around what is left of it embedded into its hull. In another segment a variation of the caladarian fighter bomber chassis speciaised for the bombing aspect of its design. A few of what would appear to be APC's with armored and reinforced chassis adapted for all terrian use and a front that opens like a flower bud, now though smashed and dented as if it had suffered an explosive impact.

Vulcan then leads the group deeper into the caverens and again they find another area full of wrecked and corroded ancient caladarian vehicles. Variants and different designs litter the ground and joust out of the walls. Vulcan looks at them carefully, taking in all of the details of there construction and design aspects. Turning back to the excavation team he leads them down another path and the walls start to glow.

"Glowmoss" Vulcan says "Gives out weak anti light, only the harmless stormbats eat them"

The next caveran again was full of old relics of caladaris's warlike past and the glowmoss. Vulcan walks between them before punching the wall and removing some of the glowmoss. This reveals the outline of a door and strange caladarian symbols. Putting his hands into indents he speak aloud a caladarian code phrase. The excavation team watch as the wall segments and slides open. Beyond is a large circular room with what appears to be a set of pillars around the edges. Vulcan steps into the room and his footsteps clang as he walks on the metal floor. The excavation team follow and Vulcan says aloud another command phrase and the door slams closed. The pillars start rotating and the floor starts accelerating downwards.

The excavation mechs start to panic and Vulcan's voice sounds "No not panic. Its just an elevator." The floor comes to a sharp halt throwing the excavation mechs off there feet. Vulcan remains standing as another doorway opens. Walking past the mechs entangled on the floor Vulcan emerges into another chamber. A cracked half tube of caladarian armor glass is before him. Looking through the semi intact parts of it the area beyond seemed to have flooded and that meant trouble.

Vulcan knew that compared to the land based predators those that dwelt in the black water of caladaris were much worse. Vulcan holds his arm out to stop the excavation team from advancing.

"Wait this is a very dangerous situation." Vulcan says "Wait here until the way ahead is clear."

Deploying his linear lasers he starts to boil off the water chocking up the path ahead. walking forward his sensors sweep the small lake in the cavern beyond. He turns back to face the excavation team.

"I detect no life in the water but it would be best to be careful" Vulcan says grabbing them both and he flies accross the water to the opposite edge of the lake.

He then leads them upwards past an old Kroozer shark lair that has collapsed with age. A hallway with specially positioned Glowmoss providing light stretches before them. Vulcan leads the way until they reach a door that is more ornate than the others that they have encountered before. Vulcan skim reads and translates the text on the doors surface.

"In brief this reads 'Here lies our greatest creation and greatest fear the granter of wishes'" Vulcan says running his fingers over the corroded metal composite that the door had been constructed from. Finding the hidden activation key the door begins to slide open.

Beyond is a circular chamber lit by what seems to be powered purple crystals that give out a strange light. For some reason nothing seems to be growing or present in the room, not even the prevailent glowmoss grew in the area. As the three enter the door slides shut and three large tubes slide into place.

Electricity starts playing around inside the tubes as they begin to rotate.

"Who dares reawaken me" An electronic voice booms.

"Show yourself" Vulcan replies

"None dare question the wish granter. I was created to be the ultimate weapon by the people of the central continent of Kaolerast." The voice booms once more

"Ah now I understand. So you can read and grant our wishes then?"

Electronic laughter greets the statement. "In order to grant your wishes you have to pay the price"

"Which is?" Vulcan asks

An array of strange devices rise from the floor and emerge from the walls. "Your lives" The electronic voice chimes.

Vulcan goes into action as the devices activate. Scytheing down a swathe of the devices while firing a pulse from his linear lasers into the core of the device.

The cyclinders shatter showing the area in razorsharp shards of armor glass and causing the contained electical power to spark out of control taking out the devices and cuasing them to detonate throwing the entiure chamber into chaos. Ignoring this Vulcan sends a concentrated pulse from his cannons into the door.

Scooping up the excavation mechs he accelerates to maximum speed as the Wish granter device's core implodes detonating its power generators and sending a powerful shockwave of energy outwards. As the hallways reduce in size Vulcan's wings scrape against the walls but rather than reduce his speed he maintains it so he can stay ahead of the shockwave that is tearing the entire complex apart.

Epilouge : - FDTTPOC {Forces Dedicated to the protection of cybertron}

Vulcan and the surviving member of the excavation team eventually reach there craft. Both are worse for wear, Vulcan's armor is dented and scratched and one of his wings has folded back on itself. The excavtion mech is missing the entirety of its right arm but is still functional. As soon as he takes off Vulcan starts work on a report of the mission.

"The mission was a complete waste of time if our only intention had been to find and harness the wish granter. unfortunately this was not the fabled object that we had intended to find but instead a psycotic superweapon with advanced Ai that had been constructed by the long dead warlike race that once dominated this planet.

This device referred to the planet we know now as Caladaris by teh name which this race knew there world. Kaolerast.

In addition to this knowledge I have acquired detailed specifications on many of the machines used by this race in there war. The technology that they once possessed surpasses that of our race and yet the wreckage dates from about 480 million years ago. I feel that these vehicle scans should be reserved for use by only those whom myself and my lueitenants agree to be the most loyal and powerful members of our faction.

We will win this war without the need of this 'wish granter' The original of which I believe to be a myth. This is acting commander Lord Vulcan signing off"

With his report finished Vulcan sets the ships autopilot and heads towards the onboard repair bay.

___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - UROTNO{Untied rebels of the new order}

Gigatrion had heard nothing of the assault force he had dispatched to Caladaris. He would end up sending another 300 or so transformers to there deaths on that fateful death world before a freaked out surivivor ends up giving him details of what occured to him when his group had landed on the world. This survivor also brings with him a face long thought lost.

The once decepticon Burnout had not only survived Caladaris for a period of four hundred years he had rebuilt himself using discarded mech parts and a new vehicle mode scan based on a wreck he obtained while hiding within the crater of an active volcano. The tank which burnout now transformed into had four sets of tracks, fifteen layers of 4mm composite armor and a fusion javalin rail gun embedded into its hull.

Gigatrion had never seen anything like it. The new level of power afforded to him went straight to Burnouts head unfortunately for the fellow members of his faction. He wrestled control away from Gigatrion through use of guile, low cunning and strategically placed explosive devices.

After another few very short decacycles he had gained total control and had started planning his counter attack on the FDTTPOC who by then had an iron grip on cybertron and the many worlds around it.

Speed: 9
Intelligence: 10
Agility: 8
Endurance: 5
Courage: 7
Firepower: 8
Accuracy: 9
Hand-to-hand skill: 8
Technical Skill: 6

Motto: "Let the galaxy burn for all I care."

BIO:
Harsh, strict and ruthless even for a decepticon, Akron is highly skilled and very intelligent having outlived most other seekers. He is what is called a demi triple changer being able to deploy legs whilst in his jet mode enabling him to adapt to multiple situations. While engaging in combat Akron tends to be hard to hit and counter as he uses his own transformations as weapons[along with his missiles and sword]. In his cybertronian jet mode he can reach mach 5 in an atmosphere and mach 6 in outer space. While recognized as a commander of seekers Akron is highly independant and shows a complete disregard for his allies during combat being known to fire indescriminately into the melee. Throughout his long existance he has gained vast knowledge and honed his skills to perfection.

ORIGINAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: 42,057 [earth date]

weapons/abilities:
Armed with multiple misiles and bombs in his cybertronian jet mode and his demi robot [walking jet] mode.

Energon sword:
A standard short energon sword that has been modified with a lighter material added into its construction to aid in the type of attack Akron prefers.

Weaknesses:
Armour is very weak.

Starscream

Alt and robot modes : as machine wars SS

bio:
A pretender to the throne who gained power by defeating Galvatron. Starscream is not very good in a commanding role, as he is too cowardly to lead his own troops in battle and thus leaves the job of the war up to his many lieutenants most of which he selected on the basis of whether they liked him or not.

Weapons/abilities
Multiple missiles and bombing mechenisms:
Starscream is able to regenerate his own ammunition at the same rate as that he can use it. He uses the same ammo for both his missile launchers and his bombing runs.

Null ray projectors:
Starscream has these embedded in to his forearms and he needs to deploy them before he can use them. They work as they have always done though.

Galvatrons cannon:
A trophy of his victory this weapon has been hardwired into Starscreams right arm and he is fully capable of using it as effectively as Galvatron once did.

Weaknesses:
Starscream even though he is primarily a coward believes himself to be invicible.

Speed: 7
Intelligence: 6
Agility: 6
Endurance: 6
Courage: 9
Firepower: 4
Accuracy: 7
Hand-to-hand skill: 3
Technical Skill: 2

Bio:
Striker is in a word the perfect seeker, he is loyal, powerful and yet he possesses no drive to better himself seeing as he is content with his place in the grand scheme of the decepticon army. When given an order by a superior he will do it without asking questions regardless of what that order may be. Despite this he is a feirce warrior when engaged in combat as he will strike at the weakest parts of his foes to disable them as swifty as he can.

weapons/abilities

He is armed with four standard seeker laser cannons.

Weaknesses:
Striker is vulnerable to hand to hand attacks.

Cryden

Alt and robot modes: Silver, black and purple G1 guardian robot

Stats:
Strength: 10
Speed: 3
Intelligence: 9
Agility: 4
Endurance: 10
Courage: 8
Firepower: 10
Accuracy: 6
Hand-to-hand skill: 7
Technical Skill: 0

Bio:
Cryden is Akrons second in command and is one of the few decepticon afiliated guardian robots. Cryden is not a lumbering idiot though as one would expect by simply looking at him, he is highly intelligent and will often advise his commander on what his course of action should be. In combat there are few that can match Cryden for sheer firepower or strength much less damage his reinforced and thickened outer structural armor.

Weapons/abilities

Cryden is able to transport a full batallion of decepticons inside the hold of the rocket part of his alt mode. When he leaves his launch pad, it is transported into his subspace compartment for the duration of his journey only reappearing when he lands at his destination.

In robot mode his right arm is a close combat claw that can crush any known material while his left arm is equipped with a larger version of the fusion cannon once used by Megatron.

In base mode only his patrol tank is armed. It is equppien with two concussion missile launchers and a laser cannon.

Weaknesses:
Cryden has a high center of gravity and he is a large target.

_________________________________________________________________
Akron watched as Starscream drank again from his gold colored chalice. He despised the current decepticon commander but as of yet he had not been given a chance to take the irritation out of the equation. He had watched this 'Starscream' turn what was already a flagging fighting force and turn it into a disaster. He had lost count of how many missions had been failed due to orders that had been given prior or during combat. Akron knew that many of his fellow decepticons had already started arranging themselves under the higher up lieutenants in case of a shift in leadership.

This to Akron seemed inevitable and as of yet he hadn't aligned himself with any of these groups. Cryden had advised him as such and he stood there waiting for the expected mission he had been summonded to discuss.

"Commander Akron" Starscream says and Akron approaches the throne bowing when he stops in front of it.

"My lord Starscream" Akron replies

Starscream throws a data disk to him and says "This is your mission. Do not fail me!"

Snatching the disk off the ground Akron turns and walks away.

*******************************
In the briefing room for his command group Akron notices that his trusted soldier Striker and his second in command the hulking Cryden in the room as well as his normal troops. Sliding the disk into the holo projector in the rooms center he activates it.

A planet with its spacial coordinates appears and Starscreams voice comes over the devices speakers. "Planet designation Kystas. There is a massive energy deposit present in this worlds southern hemisphere. You are to acquire this energy reserve for our use. You have been granted permission to do this via any means nessessary."

As the hologram fades Akron turns to his troops. "Cryden, load up on as much energy as you can get ahold of. Have swindle help if you run into trouble. Call in my tab if you need to." The large mech nods and walks off. "Striker, I need twenty anti matter detonators. Acquire them."

The seeker is gone before Akron can say another word. He spends another bream or so dividing and breifing his combat groups. As soon as he is finished Striker returns.

"I have the anti matter detonators." he says

"Good" Akron replies handing Striker a data disk. "This is your assignment once we reach our intended destination you will carry this out to the letter."

Striker takes the disk and nods "you can rely on me" Akron looks up to find that the seeker is gone.

******************************

A few megacycles later Cryden is fully loaded with both energy and Akrons strike force and preparing for take off. Moments later a massive cloud of exhaust covers the base around the rocket disguising its shift into Sub space. The rocket section of Cryden heads at maximum speed towards its destination.

******************************

Planet Kystas - fifteen megacycles later.

The large form of Cryden lands in a cloud of retroes and as the cloud fades his base becomes visible, having been summonded from subspace upon his landing. His landing ramp slams down and Akron walks down leading his forces from the craft. Striker flies off in another direction as the rest of the combat groups deploy according to there predetermined orders. Cryden transforms and cradles the energy siphon device with his clawed hand. Moving to where there mission breif had indicated he slams the thing into the ground.

Akron walks over to it and starts making some fine adjustments before activating it. "Spread out and stay alert" Akron snarls at his troops as they linger around.

At his tone the troops scatter and he begins the energy harvest. Cryden looks down at him. "Are you sure you wanted to do that?"

"Of course. The next mech who doesn't follow orders shall be cut down were he stands." Akron replies.

"Of course. You've made that clear and done that before and it will still work now." Cryden adds. "Your troops will always react in the same way to your actions. Only Striker seems immune to the effects."

"He is immune to my actions becuase he is entirely fearless. Nothing no matter how vile wil affect him."Akron says altering the device. "He is the perfect warrior as he seems to respect the chain of command and knows his place in it."

"We all know that Akron." Cryden says

"No more talk, transform back into base mode and prepare for power input"

******************************

Fourty cybertronian miles away

Striker fires a shot into the ground before he casually drops one of the anti matter charges into the hole. Pulling up his holomap he checks off another mark from the display. "Commander Akron, Mission 65% complete proceeding with orders."

"At least theres someone I can rely on"

Striker shuts off his com and proceeds with his orders.

*****************************

High orbit - Krystas defense platform

"Commander Fastsight" The Large autobot commander with a gun as his alternate mode looks down at his subordinate.

"What now?"

"We have decepticon energy signatures present on the planet."

"How in the pit did they find this place?"

"Unknown"

"Nevermind that. What is there unit strength?"

"42 units confirmed." The subordinate replies checking the data readout again.

"Prepare the interceptor unit. We need to deploy in the next bream, take out the intruders so we can send a message to those fragging decepticons." Fastsight says as he heads towards his quarters to get his weapons.

***************************

A short time later

Akron looks up as the last of the energy is loaded into Cryden. Something catches his attention in the distance. He dives backwards as the energy siphon device takes a direct hit. Ignoring it becuase it had already been disconnected from Cryden he barks out oreder to his forces as more energy bolts rain down from above. A group of jets fly overhead in perfect formation. These jets look like cyclonus only with autobot colors and markings. The lead one has a strange gun mounted under its nosecone.

"Defensive positions. Counter attack when the enemy are in range." Akron shouts "I want a constant barrage shoot them out of the sky."

The autobot troops sweep round for another attack run and are met with a hail of fire. The autobots pull up away from the fire. Akron hisses before transforming and blasting after the bots.

Autobots

"interceptor 7 here theres something following us and its faaaaa...." The autobot says as a pair of seeker missiles slam into his engines causing him to explode in a chain reaction.

"All forces scatter" Fastsight sends over the radio as Akron transforms, lands and plunges his sword down through the bots spark chamber.

As the bots scatter Akron takes down another bot by pulling alongside him transforming and sweeping his sword through the center of the enemies fuselage.

"What the hell is that thing?", "We are being outmanuvered and outclassed", "Arrggghhh.....", "Oh dear primus four of seven down in seconds." Come over Fastsights com system.

"Land, Land, take away his advantage." Fastsight shouts. Instantly the three remaining autobots dive downwards. Transforming and skidding to a halt two of the bots draw guns while the third grips Fastsight.

This doesn't stop Akron who dies downwards and goies into a spin. As shots fly past him he switches into his robot mode. Removing the head from the first bot somersaulting into the second, slipping his sword into the bots armpit and into his spark chamber before flinging the husk into the third bot knocking him off his feet and sending Fastsight flying from his grip.

Akron switches into his walking jet mode and offloads a pair of cluster missiles which saturate the third bot with explosions sending him offline. Akron switches back into his robot mode and brushes himself down.

Decepticons

Akron looks at the dead autobots in disgust. Hearing something behind him he spins round to find Fastsight aiming a pistol at him.

"Oh please" Akron says moving his hand to indicate the dead interceptor bots. "Do you think that will work?"

"You'll be dead shortly anyway. My entire battalion has been ordered to follow me down here." Fastsight says

A pair of lasers fired from another presence slam into Fastsights hands reducing them to molten slag. Fastsight screams in pain and keels over.

"Allow me to introduce you to my faithful lieutenant Striker" Akron says slicing the long range com adapter from the bot. "Now then about your loyal troops Striker here has rigged a little surprise for them."

"Affermative" Striker says "Mission 100% complete."

"Who are you?" Fastsight says looking up at Akron.

"that is none of your business." Akron replies running the bot through with his sword.

Akron lets the dead bot fall to the ground and calls Cryden on the com."Take off in stealth mode. Striker and myself will baord in the air."

Akron turns back to Striker. "The timers were set to my pre determined detonation point. They will explode shortly."

"Acknowledged" Striker replies "Autobot signals are present and are approaching. We should pull out"

Akron shrugs and transforms, striker does the same and they fly upwards towards the stealthed form of Cryden.

*********************************
One megacyle later

The autobot lieutenant spews up energon at the sight of his now dead commander. Another bot comes up to him with an egg shaped device in his hands.

"We found this but we don't know what it is"

The lieutenant looks at it and his eyes widen. "Thats an anti matter detonator."

Four rods spring out of the device.
___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - decepticon
Akron watches as the anti matter detonators explode. The planet is torn apart by the interaction of the anti matter and the energy reserves. A large fragment of the planets crust smashes into the orbiting autobot defense platform. The stations shields hold for a few moments until more debris from the planet overload them. The station is then pumeled and crushed before detonating in spectacular fashion.

Akron from the bridge of Cryden watches this happen. "Another pitiful world is destroyed, its use was over and we have denied its use to our enemies. Mission accomplished"

Striker was standing guard over his commander and had heard everything Akron had said. "You never intended to allow the planet to live." He says "You intended to destroy that planet even before you witnessed it."

"Exactly." Akron replies "What use does a world in the hands of the enemy matter. It is a weapon to be used in there destruction"

"Starscream will not be happy"

"He never is." Akron snaps "So I'll do what I fragging well feel like doing."
___________________________________________________________

Epilouge : - Autobot
A few solar cycles after contact is lost with the defense platform a survey craft appears in the Krystas system. They find very little in the way of autobot remains. After four megacycles the survey crew finish there investigation and eventually submit the following short report.

Planet Krystas and its defense platform were destroyed by a massive chain reaction in the planets vast energy stores. There is little evidence of any foulplay and so we have to give a verdict of unresolved. Further geological and evironmental studies are needed to determine what exactly happened here. Recommend sending a scientific craft to perform a full array of tests.

Vanquisher

Alt mode:
Image

Bio:
An adept sniper. He will never fire unless he can garantee a hit on his target, oddly he prefers to do his sniping in his alt mode. This may be due to his camoflage in this mode or just becuase his armour is stronger no one knows but him. Throughout the war when he served with multiple units before he was commissioned with the Iron warriors he was commonly the only survivor of his units normally returning with the objective and some new kill markings. While he normally likes to keep it quiet he is an adept tactician and has intimate knowledge of all known weapon types.

Weapons/abilities

Vanqisher cannon: A long range sub munition weapon that can penetrate almost any armor. It is pinpoint accurate when combined with Vanquishers powerful sensor array. The longest recorded distance for a single shot kill by Vanquisher has been 3.2 earth miles with a single headshot. It cannot be fired at a target within 100m due to it requiring that distance to arm and discard the external shield.

Notes: Vanquisher has a few different types of shell available for his cannon. They are listed below. {those marked with a * are RARE and he will have access to one on occasion but no more.} [he always carries 8 normal shells but he can carry another four if needed]

Hyper Velocity anti tank shells:-
The primary shell Vanquisher uses. These sub-calibre rounds are a solid dart of super dense metal contained within a lightwieght exterior shoe. The dart is only a third of the calibre of the actual shell. The exterior part drops away after firing leaving only the speeding dart.

*Illumination shell
A shell that explodes and create a bright light equivilent to that projected by forty suns. While this shell doesn;t cause any damage as such it is more than capable of blinding anyone that looks directly at it when it detonates.

*Hunter shell
A shell with similar characteristics to the normal Hyper velocity shell except that it contains a small logic engine. Once it is locked onto a target the hunter shell will alter its course mid flight as it tracks down and eliminates its target.

Sensor array: Able to read the smallest energy spike within 4 miles and register movement beyond the two mile mark.

Additional weapon:-
Laser rifle:-
Modified to be more accurate at longer ranges it doesn't include any extras as Vanquishers sensor array is far more capable than any manufactured scope when it comes to long range targeting. While not as powerful as his cannon the rifle is still a deadly tool when in Vanquishers hands. He is able to take out a foes optics at the four mile distance mark with ease.

The old oil house

Sitting in the corner booth Vanquisher glanced down at the stien in his hand. The energon was of poor quality but he could not afford anything better. He takes another mouthful of the brew still trying to wash away his shame after he was discharged from the army. The drinking never helped but he carried on regardless. Time healed all wounds they said, he cursed his predessors for lying. Taking another long daught of his drink his mind wanders back to the time when he was discharged and the events that led to it.
----
Planet Tiras - 250 earth years earlier
The rain beat down from above creating a clattering sound that rang throughout the temporary shelter. Vanquisher looked over the tacital map that was fluxuating as the power generator struggled to meet the demands placed on it. The chief scout a mech by the name of 'Isolator' had identified the enemies location and provided accurate numbers on there troops. Vanquishers troops appeared to outnumber the enemy by a ratio of 2:1 so he had divised a suitable strategy based on a classic pincer manuever and had evenly divided his forces.

Later and before the battle was to take place another of his scouts a mere rookie reported more enemies were present than in Isolators report. Vanquisher had ignored the data from the rookie and had simply stated. "Your optics must be playing tricks on you rookie, the constant rain on this soggy rock can be decieving."

Mere hours later Isolator gave another report that complimented his first. The enemy numbers he had said were confirmed so Vanquisher gave his go ahead for the plan to proceed. He got a few reports of Isolator acting strangely but again he dismissed it due to rookie error.
----
Vanquisher walks slowly through the darkness of the planets night the rain beating down on him and his troops. They were to move into position under cover of darkness and signal dampeners. He soon had confirmation of the troops being in position, they then concealed themselves. Some of the better scouts were allowed to move around, there reports actually indiacted that there were less enemies in the base than mentioned ion Isolators reports. Vanquisher dismissed this as some were probably not visible due to having a stasis nap or recharging. With everything set and his troops in position Vanquisher waited, through the night the planet's infernal weather continued to lash down on the concealed troops.
----
When dawn broke the attck began, the troops under him rushing forwards from concealment and sweeping into the base. The enemies present were caught off guard and easily taken out. Vanquisher can remember trudging through the dead bodies of enemies and noticing that they were little more than drones. Before he could issue another order or shout a warning an artillery shell had slamed into the base and detonates throwing him aside. Something vital gives in his chassis and he blacks out.
----
When he comes to a medic is kneeling over him. Faint sounds of combat can be heard and the medics voice comes through all silent as Vanquihsers audio receptors start ringing.

"Keep calm, your OK, just a bit deafened from the shell explosion." The medic says.

"What the frag is happening?" Vanquisher says

"The enemy knew we were coming sir, While we were surrounding this base they were surrounding us."

"They set a trap for us" Vanquisher says slowly standing up.

"I don't think so sir, I think we have a traitor amoungst our ranks who's been feeding the enemy our plans."

"That can wait till after the mission. First we have to survive"

Vanquisher transforms and rumbles forward. Another artillery shell detonates nearby blowing the limbs clean off four mechs parts of which clang off his hull. He doesn't stop to help them as he know they were probably already dead. As he runs towards the piles of rubble that had been heaped He draws his rifle and fires off a few quick shots. Something falls out beyond the defensive perimeter. The base was in a natural bowl and thus as the artillery shells continued to crash down they inevitably struck the base. As it started to crumble Vanquisher noted that it showed signs of lacking the normal defensive measures incorperated into the structure. Sliding into cover beside two mechs of his command that he did not immedately recognize he fires his rifle over the lip of cover picking off another opponent with a short burst of fire.

"We can't stay here this is a murderhole" Vanquisher says

"Nowhere to run to commander, were surrounded." one of the mechs replies.

Isolator dives into cover beside the mechs as heavy machine gun fires rakes the cover. "Commander Vanquisher, to the south theres a gap in there encirclement."

"Probably a trap" The final mech behind the bit of cover adds. His voice low and gritty.

"Isolator. Take one of the other scouts if there still online and makes sure there are no traps." He says flicking on his com."All forces when I give the signal disengage and move south." He turns to look at Isolator again "When you have confirmed your original findings send me a short signal pulse."

Isolators nods and runs off avoiding the fire nimbly.

"If I may speak commander" the gritty mecvh says

"Yes you may." Vanquisher replies

"I don't trust that mech, he seems dishonest and fickle."
----
It takes only a few earth minutes for a smoke screen to form to cover the retreat. An all clear signal is recieved from Isolator shortly afterwards and his forces had started to pull out. Without effort they seemed to be able to fall back due south finding no trace of the enemy. Vanquisher by now had made his troops move cautiously still it hadn't made any difference in the end anyway.

A slight ping noise a fraction of a nano click before it happened was all the warning they got and it wasn't enough. Vanquisher remembered being thrown off his feet by a massive explosion that seemed to carpet the whole escape route as if someone had been notified of what to do to catch all of his forces in one blast.

His memory was blank for the next few moments but he awoke to find Isolator crouched down over him laying camoflauge over his armour. "Commander. I'm sorry but we didn't know."

"No one could have known Isolator."

"Nervertheless our enemies are looking for you, In order to repay my debt I will lead them away so that you can escape the fate that would have otherwise awaited you. Good luck commander, just stay still and you'll be fine." With his part said Isolator was gone and Vanquisher would never see him again.
----
Vanquisher takes another long draught of his energon and the last few memories of the planet hit him as a rapid series of images.

The scorched ground littered with the remains of his forces.

A enemy calously stabbing the few survivors to make sur ethey they would never see anyther day.

The time spent in hiding.

The one shot that took out the enmies commander.

Vanquisher pauses and forces his memory to stop dead on that particular image. He scans it again to make sure but there can be no doubt. On the edge of the image, not bound in any way and simply casually standing and boasting with those around him is Isolator, the very same Isolator who had provided all of the wrong intel, the very same mech who had pointed out the escape route and the very same mech who had made it seem as if Vanquisher had been the one to get all of those young mechs killed. All of it had been planned even down to the fact that Vanquisher had claimed vengeance as a sick game, part of a wasteful act of senseless suffering.

The stien shatters under the pressure Vanquisher had unknowingly applied to it. Standing up from where he had been sitting Vanquisher wipes his hand clean and walks away from the oil house, slamming the door on his way out.

"So you want to rejoin the army" Sentinel Magnus says calmly. "And why would you want to do that my dear friend. You were afterall discharged for gross negligence."

"The answer is simple. I was decieved and so where you." Vanquisher says calmly

"I trust that you have sufficient proof of this."

Vanquisher smiles before plugging into the nearest screen.

Sentinel Magnus thinks for a few moments before saying anything more. "You request for reassignment is granted, you will report to Crash Course at 0400 tomorrow to give you a refresher course on the art of combat. Dismissed."

Vanquisher salutes before walking out of the room.

"well Isolator. Is our plan on schedule?" Gigatrion asks.

"Yes commander, agent Vanquisher while dormant still possesses the evesdropping circuitry I planted within him on Tiras and as per the larger plan he has now been allowed to see the truth of that world via his own memories and has rejoined the ranks of Vulcan's little upstarts. Soon we will have an unwitting pawn letting us in on all of there military secrets."

"And what of yourself. Now that your cover is blown."

"Trust me I know what I am doing." Isolator says calmly shutting off the com feed.

Such a gullible fool. I work for noone but myself and soon with the help of my unwhitting pawns they shall come to fruition Ironic then that Gigatrion and Vanquisher now had given me the means to get what I want and to think they both once thought that I worked for them. Ha

Isolator sat back in his hideout and waited for his plans to reach the critical point where he could cash in on all of his work.

The following series of Centerstage fics detail the events leading up to and including the rise and fall of the decepticon emperor Darkshock, as well as the formation and eventual fate of the Iron Warriors autobot combat group. All of these events take place in the dark future universe and are co written by myself and a friend of mine who helped with the design and formation of the bios for these autobots.

Crash course.

Faction: autobot

Modes
Image

Bio:
A strict but fair teacher who alongside the twin mechs Crash & Burn trained the Iron warriors into a formidable fighting unit. While he is useful in excavation tasks he hates doing them preferring to deliiver a blow from his crusher arm to an errant trainee who had overstepped his boundaries. Those who train under him learn quickly to do things right or expect a solid whack to correct them.

Weapons/abiliites
Crusher arm:
While perfectly capable of picking up and crushing any remotely car sized object it makes a far better weapon that can be thrown 300m or more by Crash Course. He can then crush and draw in anything the claw gets a hold of.

Mark II laser rifle with flashfire optical laser prescision enhancement and power settings gauge:
A standard weapon that Crash course has modifed to allow for stun blasts to be fired from it in addition to more letahl power settings for actual combat. He uses it to test his trainees reflexes by firing a stun blast at them without warning or as he calls them life or death test runs.

Primary Function: Double agent

Stats:

Speed: 7
Intelligence: 9
Agility: 5
Endurance: 9
Courage: 8
Firepower: 7
Accuracy: 9
Hand-to-hand skill: 2
Technical Skill: 7

Vehicle mode 1: High speed sports car
Vehicle mode 2: Assault tank

BIO:
On the surface Isolator is what you would call a textbook decepticon warrior. While he is a triple changer he does not exhibit many of there normal trends such as insanity and/or transformation difficulties. He is a very hard worker and a capable combatant. While he is not as strong as some other multi changers Isolator is blessed with a very strategic mindset where he will isolate and destroy the weakest of his foes during combat and then repeat the process until no targets remain. Buried deep inside his circuitry however his original Autobot personality and spark remain quiet while around decepticons. He can switch to his autobot persona at will but this will also change his energy signature. Which side he is truely on remains a mystery even to those he reports to.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Tank/arm cannon: As this weapon draws its energy from a highly unstable but powerful isotope that is contained within a magnetic force field deep within the weapons circuitry Isolator has a near unlimited amount of shots. When fired the combination of the cannons barrel and magnetic force field speeds the resulting blast of concentrated radiation to five times the speed of light, this blast is then capable of annihilating the force that binds atoms together thus turning whatever it hits into a fine ash like substance.

Combat dagger:
A very short laser blade that is more ceremonial than practical due to Isolator having 'butter fingers' according to his drill sergeant.

WEAKNESSES:
If his cannon is damaged beyond the point where it can sustain the magnetic force field it will explode with a force that is almost equal to an old omega bomb, But releases the same radiation fired from his cannon rather than a conventional plasma charge.
____________
Sword Storm

Vehicle mode: ferarri enzo
robot mode:
Image

Faction: autobot/decepticon/assassin

Bio:
Sword storm is perhaps the greatest ever sword master to ever come online. His skills are legendary and his reputation alone is enough to deter a foe from taking him on. He was trained by the assassins who commonly serve the needs of the decepticons but hold themselves as a separate faction. When his training was complete he elected to leave the assassins guild and return to his own kind. Sixstrike gave his consent to this and allowed Sword Storm to leave. Upon returning to his brethren Sword Storm was shunned for eons becuase of his background but he was patient. When he was finally deployed it was against a much larger opposing force. Due primarily to his effectiveness his side suffered minimal casualties. When measured his reactions were faster than anything previously recorded. Due to his primary training being done as an assassin he is perfectly capable of fitting in with any faction.

Weapons/Abilities

2 Star metal sabers.
Made of a strange light metal that is formed in the heart of a dying sun. There edge never dulls and they are capable of channeling the energy of the sun they were formed from into the blade if the wielder is skilled enough.

2 cybertronian desert eagles
A pair of matched pistols that can spring from Sword Storms forearms at his command.

Dodge:
Sword Storm can catch solid shot bullets and dodge energy weapons effortlessly. While doing this he appears to flash between locations.

Ledgendary swordmaster:
There are few that can match Sword Storm in close combat, much less best him.

Stats:

Courage: 7
Firepower: 5
Accuracy: 8
Hand-to-hand skill: 10

Weaknesses:
Sword storm has thin armour over his superstructure and is vunerable to flamethrower and blast weapons as he is unable to dodge them effectivally.
____________
Vanquisher

Alt mode:
Image

Bio:
An adept sniper. He will never fire unless he can garantee a hit on his target, oddly he prefers to do his sniping in his alt mode. This may be due to his camoflage in this mode or just becuase his armour is stronger no one knows but him. Throughout the war when he served with multiple units before he was commissioned with the Iron warriors he was commonly the only survivor of his units normally returning with the objective and some new kill markings. While he normally likes to keep it quiet he is an adept tactician and has intimate knowledge of all known weapon types.

Weapons/abilities

Vanqisher cannon: A long range sub munition weapon that can penetrate almost any armor. It is pinpoint accurate when combined with Vanquishers powerful sensor array. The longest recorded distance for a single shot kill by Vanquisher has been 3.2 earth miles with a single headshot. It cannot be fired at a target within 100m due to it requiring that distance to arm and discard the external shield.

Notes: Vanquisher has a few different types of shell available for his cannon. They are listed below. {those marked with a * are RARE and he will have access to one on occasion but no more.} [he always carries 8 normal shells but he can carry another four if needed]

Hyper Velocity anti tank shells:-
The primary shell Vanquisher uses. These sub-calibre rounds are a solid dart of super dense metal contained within a lightwieght exterior shoe. The dart is only a third of the calibre of the actual shell. The exterior part drops away after firing leaving only the speeding dart.

*Illumination shell
A shell that explodes and create a bright light equivilent to that projected by forty suns. While this shell doesn;t cause any damage as such it is more than capable of blinding anyone that looks directly at it when it detonates.

*Hunter shell
A shell with similar characteristics to the normal Hyper velocity shell except that it contains a small logic engine. Once it is locked onto a target the hunter shell will alter its course mid flight as it tracks down and eliminates its target.

Sensor array: Able to read the smallest energy spike within 4 miles and register movement beyond the two mile mark.

Additional weapon:-
Laser rifle:-
Modified to be more accurate at longer ranges it doesn't include any extras as Vanquishers sensor array is far more capable than any manufactured scope when it comes to long range targeting. While not as powerful as his cannon the rifle is still a deadly tool when in Vanquishers hands. He is able to take out a foes optics at the four mile distance mark with ease.

Endurance : 10
Courage : 10
Firepower : 10

Gigatrion

Faction:- Autobot

Sub groups:- Iron warrior, self contained combiner

Alt mode: Three interplanetary space stealth fighters of unknown type.
Image

Combined robot mode:-
Image

Bio:
One of the most powerful Autobot warriors of all time. As a three robot combiner Gigatrion can act as either one unit or as three separate independant robots. As three each has a specific role. (one is a sniper armed with a long range rifle[Giga], one is a rifle man with a standard laser rifle [tr] and the other is a heavy hitter armed with a shotgun and a rocket launcher [ion].) In this form they are quite small (30 feet each) and are skilled at both general combat and steath missions and are linked together via one overruling personality. When combined they stand collectively at 70 feet tall there combined strength value is triple that of a normal combiner and armed with a concussion blaster in addition to all of the weapons of his sub components. In his alt modes they each have the same specs which follow later.

Weapons/abilities:
Alt mode specs:
Length: 20 feet
Wingspan: 30 feet
Top speed: Mach 7-8
Weapons: dual ion lasers

Dual ion lasters: Alt mode only - Standard lasers with a twist when they hit a target they disrupt the flow of energy through the enemies systems thereby weakening them furthur.

Giga rifle: A standard high power energy weapon with a thin beam. Capable of firing up to 200 miles with his radar scope on his rifle he can place the shot to within a cybertronian mini inch of his target.

tr Assault rifle: A clip based energy weapon that does little bar wear down the enemies armour with small effective rounds.

Ion launcher: A standard cybertronian rocket launcher. Good against armour.

Concussion blaster: Fires a round with a sonic detonator embedded within it. upon impact the considerable weight of the round strikes the target causing the sonic detonator to activate sending a high frequncy burst in every direction around it for a astrosecond. This disorientates the target and all in his local proximity.

Close combat notes:-
Gigatrion while not as skilled in close combat as some of the other Iron Warriors can use his hands quite effectively but only when he is in his combined form.

Specail Ability:- manueverment jets
Gigatrion when combined into one unit can make use of these jets to avoid danger and/or make sudden moves during combat.

Stats individual:-
Strength: 6
Speed: 7
Intelligence: 9

Storm Hawk

Primary function : autobot commander

Vehicle mode:

Robot mode:
Image

Stats:
Strength: 9
Speed: 4
Intelligence: 10
Agility: 3
Endurance: 10
Courage: 10
Firepower: 10
Accuracy: 9
Hand-to-hand skill: 10
Technical Skill: 7

Bio:
Storm Hawk would eventually become the commander of not only the most effective autobot combat unit ever created but also for a very breife period he would be in complete control of every single fighting mech in the autobot army. For now he is a young recruit who shows considerable promise.

Weapons/abilities:

Siege cannon - ALt mode: fires a heavy shell that is capable of breeching fortifications and destroying a building with one shot.

Thunder hammer - Robot mode: this mighty close combat weapon can fracture cybertronian metals with a single blow. It is capable of knocking smaller decepticons into stasis lock with a single blow. It can also be configured to release a blast of energy upon impact although this method requires the weapon to be charged beforehand but it doubles the power of its strike.

Dozerblade - alt mode: Used to annihilate/push through rubble. In robot mode it forms his chest plate giving him strong torso armour.

Note: He is unable to use the siege cannon in robot mode unless he is prone.

Weaknesses
Storm hawk is formidible in close combat but in robot mode he lacks any kind of long range weapon. In vehicle mode his shell because of its sheer wieght can only be fired 200m at maximum elevation. he also has weak armour on his back in robot mode and his rear in vehicle mode.

Function: Iron warrior scientist, tactical aid and transport.

Vehicle mode: combat assault shuttle transport craft
Image

Bio:
One of the most highly decorated autobots following the wars. He declined the offer of becoming supreme commander for reasons unknown and always seeming to help the then [AKA Rookie] Commander Storm hawk. Why he took this course of action only he knows. while he is a skilled combatant at any range and possesses an intimate knowledge of military tactics he prefers to remain outside direct combat. He does this becuase he prefers the logistics part of a battle to actually taking part. He will defend himself if attacked though. His armour is thinner than normal for mechs of his size but that is to allow him to move faster than he should be able to.

Weapons/abilities.
Standard alt mode weapons and inegrated devices
Enhanced communications suite:-
A complex set of scanners, transcievers and encrypters that allow sentinel magnus to control a military operation with delecate precision.

8 X ion cannon turrets :-
standard weapon that created localised low energy EMP pulse on whatever it impacts. These need to be operated by his passengers as per the design of his alternate mode.

2 X dual barreled pulse lasers : -
Rapid fire weapons that rely on there fast repeating attack to cause damage.

It is known that Sentinel magnus can reach speeds of 100,000KM/h and has light jump capabilities. He can carry a full compliment of autobot passengers {~30 normal sized mechs} and still reach this speed.

Robot mode.

SM can utlize his pulse lasers {which are on his shoulders like those on G1 scorponok} in addition to the following:

Combat halbeard: A blade of energon forms the primary attack of this weapon.

Weaknesses:
Has to be in vehicle mode to utilize his extensive communications systems to there full extent.

Starshot

Alt mode: Heavily Armored Plane
Image

BIO: Descended from the autobot hero Star Saber. [Who was nearly destroyed in battle and was fused with the systems of the GIGAN]. A portion of star sabers spark was removed from his body and implanted into a newly constructed autobot. Retaining starsabers sword and flying skills Starshot is a excellent soldier.

He still lacks experience. Sometimes this can lead to him biting off more than he can handle.

Weapons/abilities:

Saber blade:
An amazing sword made from a strange metal that is nearly indestructable. It has shards of the original blade embedded into it.

Space flight: can use ramjet thrusters to fly in outer space.

Alt mode:

2 Heavy impact high yield laser cannons:
Unguided and massively powerful. These weapons have been modified so that they are capable of damaging spaceship grade materials. A hit from these can be catastrophic on anything with less armour.

4 linked high fire rate 105mm cannons:
Fixed to fire forwards these weapons carry a limited supply of ammo {160 rounds in total. 40 per gun} but can be quite devastating against most targets.

Strength : 8
Intelligence : 6

Courage : 7
Firepower : 9 {Alt mode only}
Accuracy : 6
Hand to hand skill : 10

_________________________________________________________________

Crash course shooks his head and chomped down on his energocigar as he looked over the new recruits. "I don't know what you see in them myself. Sentinel Magnus sir." He says clearly not in the best of moods.

"Give them a chance before you write them off old friend." Sentinel Magnus replies

"I could still teach you a few things despite the high rank you have acquired Magnus but like them you are green when it comes to real combat. Being a slagging magnus at pen pushing isn't anything to be proud of." Crash course says Glaring at Sentinel Magnus. "Now get down there and stand ready."

Sentinel Magnus shrugs and walks off into the rabble that occupied the floor of the training facility. Crash course takes another look before taking the cigar from his mouth and shouting."Attention!" The mechs present in the area immediately stop milling around and stand in a line. He places the cigar back into his mouth and stalks before the line with his arms crossed behind his back. "I am your drill instructor and you will do what I say immediately or face the consequences. You have been assigned to me so that I can whip you into shape ready for what you will face as a combat group. The more you pay attention to and learn from my lessons the longer you will survive. Now recite out your names."

"Sword Storm"
"Sentinel Magnus"
"Vanquisher"
"Starshot"
"Isolator"
"Gigatrion"
"Storm Hawk"

"Now that we are better acquianted I need to test your skills. Who'll be the first to try?" Crash course says shifting his stance as he speaks.

Sentinel Magnus knew what was coming next. Crash course would humiliate everyone here and declare that they were weaker than a maintenance bot then he would give out a series of barked commands for each recruit to do. Sword Storm steps forwards and Crash Course gives him a signal for take your best shot. Sword Storm moves forward with blistering pace swinging both of his blades at the instructor. Crash Course flips the mech over onto his back effortlessly and holds Sword Storms own weapons against the mechs throat.

Crash Course drops the weapons next to Sword Storm and turns back to the recruits. "Who's next?"

Storm Hawk steps forward and begins to circle Crash Course. Jumping off one of his steps he swings his hammer at the instrcutor who spins downwards underneath the swing taking out Storm Hawk's legs with a sweeping kick. The mechs hammer crashing down very close to his head as he hits the ground.

Crash Course yawns. "Boring" He says "How about the next two come forward at once."

Isolator and Starshot move forwards. They nod to each other before launching simultanous attacks. Crash Course again was ready for them leaing backwards to avoid being hit while grabbing a hold of both of the mechs forearms. He then slams them together and allows them to drop to the floor. He grates his teeth against his cigar.

"Sentinel Magnus and Gigatrion have already undergone this aspect of my course once before but even if they tried it they know they would fail as badly as you bunch of maggots just have." Crash Course says "As you are all still worse than a bunch of maintenance bots at combat so to remedy this I have a few low level tasks for you that will be finished faster with teamwork. Storm Hawk will be in charge of the teams as the top brass seem to think primus's light shines out of his exhaust port. Now follow me, lag behind for any reason and I will drag you along the ground at speed until you need medical attention."

Crash Course starts running and the recruits immediately rush to follow him. They run solidly for three megacycles before the reach an old abandoned barracks that sits in the middle of nowhere. Crash course walks inside and the recruits follow. With a flick from his cigar he lights the age old photoposperous lamps present on the structure. Satisfied he leads the group into a store room with an age old console and a series of cleaning instruments scattered about.

"Your first training task is to clean this barracks and bring the computer monitoring and communications systems back online."

"May I ask what the point of this exercise is?" Vanquisher asks

"When you are marooned becuase of a space craft crash or similar mishap and come accross an abandoned post similar to this one then you will be glad I put you through it." Crash Course says "Storm Hawk you have command over this rabble. Remember I will be watching you so get to it."

Crash Course comntinues to chomp on his cigar as he stands back to observe.

"Err...well...what are your strengths?" Storm hawk asks.

"being able to split into three smaller units" Gigatrion replies.
"My speed" Sword Storm replies
"Working with computers. Telling truth from lies." Isolator adds.
"Logistics" Sentinel magnus says
"Being very fast" Starshot says swiftly afterwards
"Accuracy" Vanquisher mumbles clearly not happy with the situation

"OK. Gigatrion, Sword storm and Starshot get cleaning. Sentinel Magnus will make sure each group stays on target and will monitor group coms. Vanquisher and Isolator will work on the computer and external com systems. I will remain with Sentinel Magnus to relay orders." Storm hawk says

Crash Course nods once. The kids got drive and that must be what the top brass see in him. His combat skills like all these maggots don't even rate but they'll be passible once I'm throgh with them. Still not a match for me but good enough to beat the energon out of any stray decepticons that come there way. He thinks but does not openly say as he continues to observe the recruits as they go to work.

Elsewhere

A strange battleship with needle like crystals growing on its hull spears through the void of space slowly to a halt in the designated sector. Darkshock gives a hand signal as Speed daemon flicks the secure transmisison system online.

"Leiutenant Burnout report." Darkshock says from the command pulpit of the ship which had more of the odd crystals growing on it.

"Work is proceeding on schedule." Burnout says only his voice being broadcast on a secret sub frequency and triple encoded for good measure.

"Is the site still secret?"

"Affermative, with all of the visual and sensor jamming systems in place along with the orbital cycle we are locked in it would be very difficult if not impossible for someone to discover our location."

"So the transmission nullifiers and intruder silencer weapons have been completed in the asteriod field as requested."

"Installed and tested with irratic combat drones. Its in place and ready if it is needed."

"Good. Next communication in fourteen solar cycles. Push up the schedule and get phase 1 90% complete or better by then. End communication"

Speed Daemon cuts the communication link. "43.24 nanoclicks of burst transmissions. Any potential trace would have been impossible."

"Good. Make sure you remember the plan. Tyrol will probably not take well to the negotaitions in which case plan A will need to be used. Plan B is off limits unless his troops do not take kindly to me taking control."

"As you command" Speed Daemon says taking his leave from the control bridge as he does so.

Darkshock brings up the data on Tyrol and his primary command base. I must take care not to damage the sub space communication array during my visit. My specially designed ship will make a mockery out of his energy weapon defenses as they meerly feed me more power to fire back at them but that will only be if negotiations fail before they start. I shall give him the choice I gave to a few of my other competitors for the rank of decepticon emperor but I already known what his reply will be. He thinks to himself as he continues to look over the data he had acquired.

Continuation from Center stage 11 Crash Course
_________________________________________________________________
Center Stage 12 - Date line [earth standard years] - 51,010,022
_________________________________________________________________
Crash Course taps his foot as Crash & Burn run around the room madly missing each other by inches.

"How much longer will this take. I'm starting to rust solid."

"You've said that before but you're still here so can you please remain quiet for now" Crash & Burn reply ending each others sentences as usual.

Below each of the recruits is being tied into a simulation pod having already been breifed on how they operate. Crash Course was niether happy nor unhappy. This batch had completed his teamwork tasks to an average at best standard and they were still not much to do a merry dance about. Still they woudl improve with training.

"We are ready to start at any time you want"

"Don't stand there yapping like petrorabbits start the fragging simulation. Level 4 difficulty."

"On green recruits is that wise?"

"Time was we just dropped them into a warzone and hoped for the best but with this tech and that setting we can determine whether this unit is destined to fail or succeed. Oh and just to make sure. For every checkpoint they reach without a casualty increase the difficulty setting by one and only stop if you reach 10" Burn goes to say something and Crash Course interupts him. "For once don't argue with me and just follow my orders. I wish to determine there true combat skills in a realistic setting."

Both of the other mechs nod before taking each others control seat. This is going to be a very long solar cycle
___________
Storm Hawk's vision swims and turn turns white. As focus returns to his optics an explosion goes off right next to him. Diving into the nearest cover he flicks on his com.

"Iron warriors, acknowledge."

"Sword Storm, active."
"Sentinel Magnus, ready."
"Vanquisher, prepared"
"StarshotReadyForAnything"
"Isolator here"
"Gigatrion acknowledges"

"Our first target is the bunkers ahead." He says. "Lets not waste time and make ourselves better targets by regrouping. Just get there in one piece, see you there." Storm hawk sends flicking the com off and transforming. Gunning his engine he charges forwards his dozer blade clearing a path and deflecting the small arms fire coming from the bunkers ahead. Storm Hawk turns one into flaming rubble with a well placed siege shell.

To his left he notices Sword storm diving and weaving through the fire returning fire with his own weapons only when he had an ideal target. Further afield in the simulated battlezone the other Iron warriors were faring equally well as they proceeded to annihilate the bunker defenses. As the last bunker falls the area goes white.

"Very good performance. We are loading the next combat situation. Please be patient" Comes over the internal intercom system of the simulation as Crash & Burn wiegh in on the performance of there new playthings.

The world around the Iron Warriors materialises into a ships hangar with an autobot boarding craft nearby. A voice comes through the intercom. "Intruder alert all personell prepare to repel boarders."

Storm Hawk issues a few swift commands and his troops spread out to cover the entrances. He takes cover next to sentinel Magnus.

"This strategy seems risky commander" Sentinel Magnus says

"Considering where we are this is the best plan." Storm Hawk replies.

"This plan is sound in my opinion."

Storm Hawk performs the hand signal for silence. The doors on each end of the hangar burst open and Decepticons armed with makeshift weapons charge forward. Storm Hawk counts down from three on his fingers before closing his hand. As one the mechs with them fire there ranged weapons. Cutting down those decepticons too slow to avoid the fire. Storm Hawk starts another count from four. As he closes his hand for a second time the mechs who are able to counter charge the enemy and dispatch the suirvivors with swift melee strikes, the enemies fading away into nothingness as they are dispatched. Storm Hawk leads thye countercharging units into one of the open doors. The second wave of enemies begins to emerge at that moment becoming bottlenecked as the autobots maintain there momentum. Heads and limbs fly in all directions vanishing into nothingness in the process. Those mechs who lacked a close combat weapon maintained a constant rate of fire cutting down those enemies who were moving into the hangar from the other doorway while walking backwards into the tunnel that the melee orientated mechs were carving there way through.

_______
Storm Hawk comes to a halt at a fork in the road. The enemies third waves had been dealt with and there was a tempory silence. "Sentinel Magnus. Which way?" He asks.

"Left leads to the engine room while right will bring us to the bridge." Sentinel Magnus replies.

"I have an idea. If Sword Storm, Isolator and Gigatrion head to the engine room and remain undetected they can cut the ships power enabling the rest of us to easily capture the bridge."

The mechs nod. "Iron Within, Iron Without" They all chime.

Storm Hawk leads his troops right while the other mechs slip into the shadows of the left hand tunnel. Storm Hawks group meets resistance but a more organized and well armed bunch of mechs. Taking cover Behind a support pillar Storm Hawk looks to Vanquisher.

"How many?" He asks

"Ten." Vanquisher states. His targeting reticule goes green and he fires. His shell speeding downn towards the enemy. It sparks off the weapon of the first, glances off the sheathed sword of a second before slamming into a volotile pile of ammo. Thne resulting explosion takes out five enemies. "Five" Vanquisher adds correcting himself.

Sword Storm dives sideways from his hiding place firing off a few rounds from his pistols and taking out another before rolling into cover on the other side of the hallway, enemy shots missing him all the while.

Storm Hawk mutters to himself before transforming and creeping out from his cover. The thickness of his dozer blade making the enemies fire useless. He offloads a heavy siege shell into the hallway blasting apart the barricades an enemies present in his path. Transforming he turns back to his troops. "I think we are clear"

Sword Storm fires a shot over Storm Hawks shoulder and an enemy vanishes from view. "Now we are clear"

"Good good. Lets keep moving."

Crash & Burn

Faction: autobot

Alt modes:-

Crash - Aston martin vanquish

Burn - modified F22 fighter

Bio:-
Crash & Burn are near inseparable until Burn flies off and leaves Crash stranded in a high place, which he tends to do a lot. They are aerial and ground combat experts and as such make excellent tutors for some of Crash Course's more promising trainees. There advanced combat regieme or ACR is very punishing and consists of four different aspects of combat. There is always an unhappy medic around to fix the inevitable injuried these combat tests cuase. There tutoring can be invaluble to those they train so these minor incidents that occur are tolerated.

Crash:-
Anti grav friction generation module.
A strange device mounted deep in his circuitry that means he can take a corner at any speed and not suffer any under or oversteer whilst doing so.

Arkansaw

Vehicle mode: Large scale earth mover
Image

Faction: autobot

Bio:
Arkansaw is a medic only in the loosest possible term. He not only has a few screws loose, he has lost the screws down a drain, used a garden knome to fish them out then dumped them in a fish tank and put the fish tank back in his head. While this would normally mean that he would be expelled from the autobots he does good work despite describing himself as a 'white puffy cloud' on more than one occassion. Becuase he doesn't really know what he is doing he has been known to attempt to repair perfectly good condition mechs and also decepticons when he finds them half dead. On the battlefield he can normally be found wandering aimlessly through the gunfire repairing anyone who has fallen. Oddly he has never been shot while he was doing this. When he is spoken to he is so out of it normal speech is nearly impossible for him to form from his mouth.

Weapons/abilities
Arkansaw is armed only with an earth moving bucket {or as he calls it big circular thing with diggy bitz} but he is more likely to hit himself in the face with it if he attempt to use it. [seeing as it is on one of his shoulders to enable him to use his hands.]

He has a full medical kit stored in various places on his body which he can use at any time.

Stats:
Strength: 6
Speed: 5
Intelligence: 4
Agility: 4
Endurance: 10
Courage: 10
Firepower: 0
Accuracy: 0
Hand-to-hand skill: 1
Technical Skill: 10

total 50

weaknesses
Arkansaw has no known physical weaknesses but his own disjointed mind makes him his own worst enemy.
_________________________________________________________________
Center Stage 13 - Date line [earth standard years] - 51,010,050
_________________________________________________________________
The clash of blades sounds out as Sword Storm and Crash duel. A sharp crack of weapons discharge comes from the firing range as Burn roams the line giving advice, from Vanquishers near perfect aim to Storm Hawk's grenade throwing technique he had something to add.

Crash Course nods, this group of recruits had finished the VR sim with the highest ever recorded score, there individual stats reflected his own observations of the group.

A clatter sound from below attracts his attention. Sword Storm lay on the ground disarmed with Crash standing over him.

"Next will be Isolator" Crash and Burn say

Sword Storm picks himself up retrieves his weapons and heads over to the firing range as Isolator moves to take his place. Isolator draws and instatly drops his combat knife almost stabbing himself in the foot in the process.

"You can't be trained for close combat Report back over here soldier, Storm Hawk come over here" the pair of mechs say.

Isolator looking rather sorry for himself switches places with Storm Hawk who takes up a defensive stance as he and Crash start circling each other. Crash strikes first and is countered by Storm Hawk's hammer which knocks Crash off balance. Storm Hawk adjusts his hammers path and brings it back round knocking Crash off his feet with a precisely aimed swing.

Crash looks up from where he found himself on the floor. Storm Hawk simply stood there looking at him. Crash nods and Storm Hawk helps him up.

Arkansaw the rather crazy medic of the group came forward and looked at Crash. "Minimal damage, thank the dull colors that you did not suffer the warth of thor and lose your light"

Crash nods not fully understanding the crazy mech gets the gist of the sentence but knowing what he meant, they are however interupted before anything else can be said or done.

"Attention" Crash course says entering the room. All present spin round and stand to attention as a pair of guardian drones with large halberds flank the door.

A mech with a flowing metalic cape enters with a small entourage that included a dictating machine. Unseen to those present however the device was offline.

"I have come to inform you that it is the councils descision that you are ready for real combat. The construction work on you craft dubbed the GIGAN has been completed and is ready to launch." The council member states. "A new enemy has arisen on the eastern frontier and is systematically destroying our early warning stations. You will intercept this foe at Krall IV and eliminate them. Your mission will then be expanded to include the pacification of the known decepticon lieutenants behind the current decepticon uprisings. All of the information you need has already been loaded into the data stacks of the GIGAN."

Storm Hawk nods. "As Iron warrior commander I shall see that the will of the council is done."

See that you do The counciler thinks as he turns and walks away.
_________
Storm Hawk and his combat group, collectively dubbed the 'iron warriors'boarded the GIGAN and were immediately awed by the scale and detail present in its construction. Each hallway, room and arch had been designed to easily accomodate a mech larger than a guardian robot. The ships main section was functional seeing as it contained about fourty quarters, a few brigs, a medical bay, a few launch and storage hangars along with the usual command bridge. Mechanical maintenance drones that looked like spiders roamed the maintenance tunnels ready to repair any damage that the ship suffered.

Crash & Burn while they were not assigned to the Iron warriors had one last training exercise to complete. They along with the Iron Warriors and Crash Course stood in one of the GIGAN's hangars.

"We have one last lesson for the Iron warriors." The pair say together. "Space Navigation"

Crash Course stands up and stretches his limbs. "My obligation to train you lot is now at an end. You still can't tell how to orcestrate a real combat situation but from what I have taught you, you should be victorious. Farewell" Crash Course says chomping down on his energocigar and walking off. Jumping from the hangar and down to the ground below. He lands in such a way as to not damage any of his components a trick he had taught to his pupils.
_________
The GIGAN lifted off slowly with Crash & Burn at the controls showing the Iron Warriors how to use the controls of the spacecraft. Each was then made to perform some simple actions under the watchful gaze of the tutors. Once each had been put through there paces Crash & Burn left them to there orders and left the GIGAN in there hands.
_________
*********
Location Unknown

Tyrol had begged for his life in the end and Darkshock was bored, he had implanted something into the mech that would make him obey but make it seem like he was still normal. He had been too valuable to simply destroy out of hand. Fallen Angel had proven useful and was now under heavy sedation and secured within the sheilded room needed to contain her. The Needle Talon was flying at speed towards an empty sector of space. The ship shudders as the front of the craft starts to vanish into a dark barrier field. The bridge goes dark for a few moments before the area before it is illuminated once again. A massive amount of debris from meteorites and the odd destroyed planet were now ahead of them.

A signal pulse from the front of the ship causes the meteorites to separate opening a path. Each meteor on closer inspection held engines and a railgun and there were millions surrounding Darkshock's secret base. Any unfortunate intruders would not get past this point. The ship passes through another dark shield and emerges into the next subdivision of the area. This section held the backup defenses as series of interlocking weapons platforms were strung everywhere each with all angle targeting adaptations. They ignored the Ship as the beacon was still transmitting the access codes.

Darkshock casually glanced at his crew before the third dark field passed over them. This third sub division was massive with a few barren planets circling slowly around the core. Each being mined for there reasources by work crews. A massive shipyard containing thousands of completed and still under construction vessels. The Needle Talon moved past its sister ships the small but agile Needle Shard and the massive but still not completed Needle Claw. Each glistening as the light catches the crystals growing on there surfaces.

The ship goes dark again as it passes through the final dark field. Before the craft a massive object awaited. It was the size of a large star and was covered in a black substance that defied decepticon science when it came to trying to recreate it. Massive weapons each the size of the Needle Talonwere mounted on the upper and lower surfaces, countless smaller turrets and weapon systems were on just about every surface of the object. The really striking point were the five large cannons mounted centrally on the structure, each was 50 times the size of the decepticon battleship. The upper and lower segments counter rotated each other slowly but otherwise it was silent and dark.

The needle talon Moved into the docking bay that could hold five or six ships of its size easily before a crude decpticon docking tunnel attached to it. A trio of similarily crude decepticon docking clamps activated as well to secure the ship. {Crude compared to the magesty of the technology of the place}

Darkshock walked down the tunnel and was greeted by Lieutenant Guillium.

"Lieutenant a progress report please"

"The work proceeds slowly commander. This technology has been dated but as best we can tell its hundreds of millions of years older than our race. And yet while it predates us the technology present in its construction is far beyond anything we can produce." Guillium says "And if I may say so your technology while it surpasses decepticon tech it still pales in comparison to this place."

"Yes, I know this Black Star fortress is the most advanced thing ever found. It survived being inside a sun for all that time and remained undamaged. We may never be able to recreate this technology but we can at least learn from it. So how has the reverse enginerring progressed?"

"Very well commander. Those three new mechs you sent last time have just about managed to make an equivalent the this places armour."

"And what pray tell did you do with this metal they created."

Guillium smiles. "We found a volunteer"
______
Darkshock walks into the large chamber along with Guillium. Portable lights were set up around the area which was normal for this place. Down in the center a mech stood. Weapons were being fired at him and having little to no effect. The entire platform he and Guillium had been standing on clicks before lowering itself to the ground. The weapons fire ceases and the two decepticons approach the mech.

"How does it feel?" Guillium asks

"The weapons fire tickled." The mech replies

"Interesting." Darkshock says eyeing the closest weapon. "phased assult blasters have such a small effect on you. What is your name soldier?"

"I'm not a soldier, the names Obelisk. Guillium here grabbed me before I could recieve training." the mech says

"Ok, Obelisk how would you like to perform some more field testing for us." Darkshock says

"Sounds good, but who are you?"

"I am Darkshock, the one who green lighted your upgrade." Darkshock says as he writes out a contract on his data slate. He signs it at the bottom and offers it to Obelisk. "This is a contract saying that you will recieve periodic payments or upgrades for testing out both your armour and a set of weapons I will be giving you."

A group of mechs lug in a trailer and at the press of a button on its side it opens up and stands up revealing a heaviliy loaded weapons platform. Another button is pressed and it folds away.

Obelisk grabs the slate and signs it. "Sounds good to me, where and when do I start?"

"Guilium, give Obelisk the scout ship you upgraded and also the nueral training gear."

Inertia

Alternate and robot modes: As shadow commander {Does not have nemesis prime uncombined robot mode.}

Faction: decepticon

Bio:
Cruel and fickle are both used repeatedly to describe how she operates. Having once served as the head of Galvatrons elite guard she was promoted to head of the decepticon black ops units. With her unique spark energy composition she lacks mercy and compassion, this dates back to her activation where her spark was exposed to a special form of radiation by her creator. In combat she remains silent until her foe is lying broken and about to be executed, she may then bless them by uttering a word or curse at them. Her armour plating is extremely dense but while this reduces her movement speed it provides near unparrelled protection from enemy attacks. During the current timeframe she is Galrauchs second in command.

Weapons/abilities

In vehicle mode Inertia can reach speeds of

Laser sword:
Standard single handed weapon. Can cut through most materials easily.

Fusion shotgun:
When fired a pair of opposing chemical projectiles are fired. The violent reaction that occurs between the chemicals acts like a small nuclear blast. Inertia is shielded from its effects.

Railshock cannon:
This weapon fires a projectile with a high kinetic force. Any object struck will be thrown aside as the kinetic energy is transferred into them. {this weapon is capable of doing this to guardian robot sized targets.}

Pulsar laser cannon/multiple missile launcher:
Capable of firing six concentrated armour penetrating laser blasts or 8 focused or diffuse blast missiles at once before needing a few second to reload. This weapon is highly destructive but is extremely heavy and has a massive recoil when fired, thus reducing its effectiveness.

Strength: 9

Intelligence: 8
Agility: 4
Endurance: 10
Courage: 10
Firepower: 9

Image

Alt mode: peterbuilt truck cab with storage trailer.
Image

Bio:
Obelisk never went through decepticon academy training and owes his only loyalties to Darkshock during the current timeframe, acting as a hired gun performing his masters orders. He gets paid in upgrades and energon chips for every mission he performs.

Weapons:-
Stationary volcano cannon platform:-
Formed from the majority of his trailer this weapons fires an incredibly concentrated heat beam that can melt just about anything in less than a second due to its 8000 degrees temperature blast. Its maximum range has not been recored but according to combat stats it is lethal at any distance of less than two miles. The trailer is composed entirely of a rare composite alloy composed of adamantium, titaniun and an unknwon substance dubbed 'black rock' making it invulnerable. The weapon barrel is not made from thsi composite and can be damaged shutting the weapon down.

2 X five barreled high velocity seeker RPG launchers.
These weapons are either mounted on the platform weapon or they can be detacted and used as shoulder cannons by Obelisk. They fire special issue Hunter Killer missiles with mass reactive warheads. these lock onto and track down a target and are nearly impossible to evade once fired. The warheads remain solid until a few moments after impact allowing there armour peircing tips to penetrate a foes armour before detonating and cuasing maximum damage to the unfortunate target.

1 X High speed gatling
Magazine discharge weapon mounted on his right wrist. Has built in range finders and can fire off its 100 exposive round payload in less than a nanosecond. It then automatically reloads which takes two cycles.

2 X samurai katana's
Obelisks close combat weapons, adapated to be made of the same metal as his trailer platform and with charge metal viens running throughout, they are capable of slicing through anything.

Fusion blaster [1]
Handheld rifle, a scaled down fusion cannon that retains the destructive force of its larger predessor. It can fire once every 3 cycles.

Saw off Pulse shotgun [1]
A small weapon that fires a sonic pulse that fades rapidly once fired. At extreme range it can shatter optics and temporarily deafen foes.

Abilities:-

Black rock composite armour {Passive}:-
The blackish protions of his armour are made from this rare and near indestructable composite substance, it is far more resilient to damage than any other known compound. Only a weapon delivered with powerful force {Strength 8+ minimum} could potentailly damage these parts of his armour.

Remote manipulation{active, give him three shots max with it, in a RP situation any more would be exessive, as its capable of melting a city into sludge with a single blast}:-
He can control his weapon platform remotely.

Agility: : 7
Endurance : 10
Courage : 10

Bio:
Galrauch is an adept tactician but he prefers to avoid direct combat if possible as he is awkward with his alternate mode. Despite showing potentail Galrauch doesn't have enough drive to be anything more than an excellent strategic planner. Being able to turn a desperate defence into an excellent counter attack.

Weapons:
4 X heavy combat lasers:
Galrauch has modified his standard seeker weapons to fire with twice the normal charge. These give him excellent stopping power at the expense of rapid fire capabilites.

Galrauch is also aremed with a seeker launcher and a pair of short combat blades.

Weaknesses:
Galrauch is an adept tactician but a medeocure warrior.
______________
Ironhawk

Alt Mode: Salamander zoid
Image

Bio:
Once a maximal Ironhawk was captured by Galrauch. Under the hands of Razah one of Galrauch's highest ranked lieutenants his beast mode was flayed constantly and tortured daily. The constant onslaught eventually ended with every organic part of Ironhawk failing but conversely raising his pain threshold beyond that of most other transformers. When the Iron warriors found him he was withdrawn and the moment his cell was opened he flew into a rage. The Iron warriors that had been sent inside pulled back to the GIGAN While Ironhawk went on a rampage. When he had caused too much damage for the ships structure to manage Razah's ship detonated. As the debris cleared all that remained was Ironhawk. Storm hawk was the one who brought Ironhawk into the GIGAN. Impossibly Ironhawk still held onto conciousness despite being heavily damaged. After the Iron warriors repaired him he stayed with them to satisfy his honor.

Weapons/abilities:
2 X He missiles (single use only)
A standard feature of his alt mode. These weapons have a large blast radius and pack a hefty explosive payload for there size. They are unguided.

2 X belly lasers.
Standard cutting lasers, short range with a high energy output.

Extremely high pain threshold.
Ironhawk has probably got the highest recorded pain threshold ever recorded. He is able to maintain his function cycles long after other mechs would be in critical statsis lock. As long as he can stand he will continue to fight on.

Ironhawk is also highly skilled in the cybertronian martial art of Crystalocution.

Sentinel Magnus in vehicle mode swoops down through the clouds of the contested world and through his target finders the other Iron warriors get there first glimspe of the battleground. It was a dank misty swamp that would provide a harsh terrian for combat purposes due to the angles from which an opponent coudl be waiting in ambush.

Sentinel Magnus sets down on a flat rock with a blast of retroes. Vanquisher was the only mech not present as he had been left on the GIGAN to make sure that the craft remained safe.

"Touchdown successful. I will stay on station to relay communications." Sentinel Magnus transmits.

"Understood." Vanquisher replies.
_____________

A short distance away

Galrauch and Inertia watched as the autobot craft landed and the Iron warriors disembarked.

"Why not just deal with them and be done with it" Inertia says calmly observing the autobots.

"Negative. It took a lot of manipulation to get them here as well as Darkshock's little science project. My plan will test out the full capabilites of these pawns. Razah should be in position shortly to forcibly acquire the autobots unique craft" Galrauch replies

"Very well commander. Let us hope this is interesting."

"Indeed."
______________

Sentinel Magnus remained in vehicle mode to use his sensors but the misty swamp was interfering with his readouts. He soon lost track of Storm Hawk and the other Iron warriors.

A transmission came through over the com. "Enermy detected, one unit moving to intercept." The readout matches Storm Hawk voice pattern and Sentinel Magnus relays the communication to Vanquisher.

Something blinked on Sentinel Magnus's sensor net and moments later three decepticons emerged from the swamp.

Death Atlas, Kinrade and Denkari moved in on Sentinel Magnus thinking that he was just a normal shuttle. Sentinel Magnus remained motionless to keep up the charade of being a normal shuttle becuase the odds were not on his side.
______________

GIGAN - bridge
Vanquisher noted that Sentinel Magnus and thus the troops on the ground had gone dark. A message flashes up on the main screen of the GIGAN as well as being spoken over the internal com.

"Hostile object detected on closing course. Activating time pulse jump systems."

"What the frag?" vanquisher says as the ship around him pulses blue for a breif moment. When colour floods back into view the craft had moved.

"GIGAN time pulse systems are now online. Use them to perform long distance moves in a fraction of a nano click."
_______________

Razah's battleship
"Commander Galrauch, your slagging prize just vanished in a blue sphere of light" Razah says into the com slamming his hand into the command chair.

"That is odd, simply hold position. You can torture the prisoner if you need something to do." Galrauch replies over the com system.

"Acknowledged commander."
_______________

Krall IV

Death Atlas stepped inside Sentinel Magnus and he disconnected his com unit. This done he walks outside and nods to Denkari.

"There com relay system is now offline. Now disconnect the orbital navigation systems thus making this craft useless for spaceflight." He says calmly.

Denkari sighs. "Leave it to me as always."
_______________

Storm Hawk dived aside as there enemy continued to fire at the Iron Warriors. Despite outnumbering him five to one he was still winning. Gigatrion and Isolator had knocked out the control systems for the decepticons trailer battle platform but there weapons were useless against his armour.

All of Crash Course's training had been proved useless against the mech who could take anything.

*******

Obelisk was enjoying himself. Darkshock had sent him to 'convince' a 'Galrauch' to join his forces. He summons his high velocity RPG launchers and opens fire. The autobots scattered giving him a moment to unequip the weapons.

*******

Sword Storm landed a double blow with his swords on Obelisk but the star metal weapons had no effect. The decepticon swept his hands down with his katana's in his grip. Sword Storm dodged sideways the attack of his enemy missing him by a very small fraction.

Gigatrion fired his concussion blaster at Obelisk while he was distracted. The soundblast seemed to stun Obelisk for a breif moment. During which Storm Hawk struck him in the chest with a swing of his fully charged hammer. This knocks Obelisk off his feet but cuases little in the way of damage.

Starshot dashed forwards to strike at the downed decepticon but instead found himself being blasted back by a discharge from Obelisk's Sawn off Pulse shotgun. Obelisk rises and draws his Fusion blaster A demolition shell from Storm Hawk [whom had switched into vehicle mode since hitting with his hammer.] slams into a explodes, the hit drives Obelisk back but fails to cuase any damage.

"Iron Warriors, fighting retreat." Storm Hawk shouts.

In response to his words the Iron Warriors pull back into the swamp leaving Obelisk on his own in the clearing. He however did not pursue them but instead he resumed his mission.
__________

Denkari walked away from Sentinel Magnus after she had performed the required actions.

"Death Atlas, get your squad out of there now, we have lost sight of the other autobots."

"Roger that." Death Atlas replies. He and the other cons turn there backs on him and Sentinel Magnus chose that moment to attack. His Pulse lasers spin and lock onto the decepticons before opening fire. With his communications gone this was the only way he could draw in his fellow Iron Warriors.

The three cons dive into cover after taking a few minor hits as the rapidly firing lasers liberaly carpet the area with fire. Sentinel Magnus powers up all of his atmospheric flight systems in preparation for a swift takeoff.

Storm Hawk and the other Iron Warrior autobots run into the landing site from the opposite area as Death Atlas's squad manage to slink out of view.

"Sentinel Magnus status?" Storm Hawk asks

"No time for that now, get on board" Sentinel Magnus replies with an insistance tone.

The Iron Warriors do as he says and board. He is soon airbourne and flying just above the clouds of the world.

Sentinel Magnus interior

"Why can we not go into orbit?" Storm Hawk asks

"Those decepticons disabled my navigation systems. I need you to reconnect them." Sentinel Magnus replies.

"Allow me, I have the sufficient skills to do that" Isolator says moving past Storm Hawk and flipping open the panel that had been clearly tampered with and he started to reconnect the broken wires. He was soon done. "Its not pretty but it will serve for now."

"Sentinel Magnus?"

"Systems check out OK. Hang on and get ready for combat we are heading into orbit."

"Say what?" Storm HAwk manages to reply before a sudden burst of acceleration locks his limbs into place with the G forces involved.
_______

Low Orbit

Sentinel Magnus having accelerated to his maximum speed came up out of the atmosphere into the sensor blind spot of Razah's flagship. Altering his course he bringes himself into a borading heading with the craft. His rear ramp opens and Starshot leaps clear transforming and accelerating past Sentinel Magnus.

The young autobot reaches the flagship first and starts flying circles around it, taking out the defensive weapons and generally causing as much havoc as he could Sentinel Magnus paid him little heed as he slid unnoticed into one of the decepticon craft's hangars.
________

Razah's flagship - hangar 32

Storm Hawk and the Iron warriors deploy and as soon as they are clear of him Sentinel Magnus transforms into his robot mode. As he does so he picks up a foriegn autobot energy signal.

"Storm Hawk. There is an autobot energy signal present on this ship." He says calmly.

"Possibly a POW. We should free him, perhaps he can be of use in crippling this ship." Storm Hawk replies.

"A sound plan commander Storm Hawk" Gigatrion replies.

"Still we have no idea of where the enemy is or how many we have to face. So lets remain cautious and careful until we can determine our goal." Sentinel Magnus adds.

"Very well, Sentinel Magnus guide the way, Sword Storm and Isolator recon. Gigatrion and I will stay in the rear in case we have guests" Storm Hawk says

The Iron Warriors move into the ship as Starshots continues his banzai attack on the crafts exterior defences.
________
3 cycles later, holding cell block A4

Isolator peers into the room and gives a thumbs up. Sword Storm follows him into the room which like most of the other parts of the ship was deserted. Sentinel Magnus entered next followed by Storm Hawk and Gigatrion. Without hesitation Sentinel Magnus walked over to the largest sealed cell and removed the lock with the blade of his combat halberd. The door collapsed outwards revealing the torture chmber within. A dark blue autobot was chained to a slab and he looked up at the noise.

"You're not that good for nothing predacon lackey." He says his voice gravelly in tone.

"No we are Autobot warriors...

"Bah, Autobot warriors you motly bunch. How many battles you seen greenhorn. I'd say none if you don;t count history vids."

"Thats enough of that you. How dare you speak to a magnus in such a manner." Gigatrion barks.

"Ohh a Magnus, having a fancy title doesn;t make you a good warrior."

"I take it that you have experience then" Storm Hawk says holding his hand up for silnce from his fellows. "For the moment however that is irrelevant. All we need to know is do you know how to cripple this craft and will you help us."

"Oh I know the answers to both of those questions. Yes. Now can I have a gold star or be allowed a recess break" the mech says in a way so that he was taking a snipe at Storm Hawk's attitude. "Stop standing there with your jawplates fused and cut me free and I'll do what is needed to fulfil your mission."

"First, who are you exactly." Storm hawk asks.

"I'm Ironhawk. Happy now."

"Sentinel Magnus cut him free." Storm Hawk says.

Sentinel Magnus reaches forwards with his halberd and cuts one of Ironhawks chains. Before Magnus can cut another Ironhawk beings his now free hand down onto one of the other chains and it shatters under the blow. He rapidly frees himself from the chains.

"Storm Hawk. Get off this ship and leave it to me. You've got 4 cycles" Ironhawk says calmly walking past the Iron Warriors. "Don't waste time you don't have"
______________

Four cycles later - Sentinel Magnus interior

Starshot flies up and lands on the open ramp. Behind him the decepticon craft ruptures in multiple places before breaking into large segments. An object is blown clear and unconsciously Sentinel Magnus moves to intercept and pick it up. Storm Hawk clambers out onto his hull and catches the still consicous Ironhawk. He could not believe it when Ironhawk insisted on walking despite having what would normally be crippling injuries.

As He gets the mech inside Sentinel Magnus a blue sphere appears before them. As it fades the GIGAN comes into view.
______________

Krall IV

Galrauch doesn't turn as he senses Obelisk approach. Inertia does turn and observe him though.

"I know why you are here my friend." Galrauch says calmly. "Darkshock should have just come here himself as I bear him no ill."

"So you know that I was sent here as an emmissary to try and get you to join his army." Obelisk replies.

"Yes, I trust you enjoyed being able to play with the autobots new elite combat unit."

"You set this all up?"

"Precisely" Galrauch turns and tosses Obelisk a data card. "Give that to Darkshock, it contains all of the combat data on this new elite autobot combat group and tell him that should he wish to become the next decepticon emperor that he has my backing."

Galrauch looks up as part of Razah's ship streaks into the atmosphere he checks his chronometer. "As I predicted, right down to the astrosecond."

"Razah, had evacuated the ship on time as well commander Galrauch. Our backup battleship has been hidden on the planets darkside all this time. It will take one full solar cycle to pack up all of the equipment and load all of the troops. " Inertia says calmly.

"That suits me fine" Galrauch says as Obelisk walked away. "We have time to spare."
_____________

10 megacycles later - GIGAN - medical bay

Isolator, who was the most qualified medic was baffled by Ironhawk. There were still deep gashes on his frame some revealing some of his exoskeleton and yet he didn't pay them any heed or show any sign of them causing him pain when they were repaired while he was still online. Isolator finished what he could do with his skills and stepped back.

Sentinel Magnus walks in to check on the patient.

"How goes it." He asks

"Well I've fixed all of the circuit damage but I still need to whip up some replacement armour plates." Isolator replies.

Sentinel Magnus looks at Ironhawk who was showing no signs of any aftereffects from the treatment or his injuries. "How you feel?"

"Fine." Ironhawk replies bluntly. Isolator had by now wandered off to go and make the replacement armour plates. "I reckon I could teach you upstarts a thing or two, you know as repayment for rescuing me."

"Why not join the Iron Warriors instead." Sentinel Magnus replies. "Your skills would be put to much better use that way. and you could enact payback for whatever they did to you whilst they held you prisoner."

"Considering what they did, the debt they owe me could never be repaid. Still I have to start somewhere." Ironhawk says. "You're on, I'll join your little group but don't pull any of that respect my rank slag on me or I'll snap off your arm and plug your exhaust pipe with your own fist got it."

"Very well Ironhawk." Sentinel Magnus replies.

Isolator returned at that moment with a pile of spare parts. Sentinel Magnus stepped back to allow the standin medic to do his job.
