Welcome to Gaia! ::


Welcome, one and all! This is my own alternate-universe Transformers tale, in the tradition of Robots In Disguise, Armada and Energon.

Quote:
For millions of years, on the distant world of Cybertron, a civil war has been raging between two opposing factions of intelligent machines- the noble Autobots and their duplicitous rivals, the Decepticons.

Four million years ago, this bitter conflict spilled onto a veridian world that would come to be known in the ensuing eons as Earth, where a volcanic eruption buried the ships carrying these metal titans for untold millenia.

Until the year 1984, when tectonic upheavals revealled a starship that had crash-landed to Earth in a prehistoric era- the vessel harboring the evil Decepticons. Led by the despotic Megatron, these ancient constructs, armed with advanced weaponry and the awesome ability to assume the form of tools and vehicles, cut a swath of destruction unseen in the eyes of mankind. When their heroic counterparts, the Autobots, were surfaced soon after, all the world's nations assumed them to be no better than the Decepticons- despite the protests and valiant efforts of their courageous leader, Optimus Prime. To the humans, there was no distinction between these alien robots- the only good Transformer was a destroyed one.


Quote:
Flash forward to the present day. Thanks to their advanced "sub-space compression" technology and know-how in the art of disguise, the Autobots walk among us in secret, disguised as the very humans they have sworn to protect from the Decepticon onslaught. Much to Optimus Prime's chagrin, the Decepticons have their own human guises, or "Pretender Shells." The battle between heroic Autobot and evil Decepticon rages on unseen, by those who are More Than Meets The Eye!

A WORD ON PRETENDER SHELLS

In this alternate Transformers universe, each Autobot and Decepticon has what is known as a Pretender Shell. This is an animatronic outer casing designed to look and feel like human skin and clothing. Thanks to sub-space compression technology, a Transformer can shrink down to a size sufficient enough to fit inside this outer covering. In addition, the Pretender Shell can be controlled by remote while a Transformer is in his/her alternate form. Thus, an Autobot who can transform into a car can use his Pretender Shell to simulate a driver. In the case of Transformers who can turn into tools or weapons (such as my character, Victory Saber), sub-space compression allows them to shrink down to be able to be used by their Pretender Shells. Thus, Victory Saber can be wielded in sword mode by his Pretender Shell Anton Canterbury if neccesary.

A WORD ON NAMES

In any Transformers story, a Transformer's name often reflects the character's personality or alternate form. However, there are some names common in any Transformers universe- which explains all the different versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron over the years. Here are some examples-

AUTOBOT
Wheeljack
Prowl
Sideswipe
Grimlock
Perceptor
Ironhide
Inferno

DECEPTICON
Starscream
Cyclonus
Scorponok
Scourge
Skywarp
Thrust
Thundercracker

AND ONE MORE THING- Since this is an alternate Transformers universe, all characters will be made-ups. Feel free to use pre-existing names, but other than that, feel free to create your own Transformers. We need an Optimus Prime and a Megatron, of course!

Name: Megatron

Alias: Trent Magnus

Race: Decepticon

Gender: Male

Function: Decepticon Commander

Alternate Form(s): Missle carrier tank.

Weapons and Abilities: Missles and tank barrel his organic shell can persuade ordinary humans to do his bidding rather easily with the help of a mind control device.

Physical Description: The missle batteries are stored on his back, with the missles facing skyward, for vertical launching on enemies. The tank barrel attaches to his forearm much like the G1 Megatron. He resembles the War Within Megatron.

Pretender Shell Description: 6' tall and muscular but not overly so. His shell always wears a black buisness suit and has very short silver hair. His human alter ego runs a mafia-type organization, consisting of a few humans and his Decepticons. He always carries a Walther P-38 in his coat. He frequently carries a silencer, a scope and a stock that can attach to the gun in a briefcase. When he is feeling particularly vain, he will wear sunglasses. His expression is almost always one of extreme confidence.

Personality: Megatron is driven by the desire to use the advanced technology of the Transformers to conquer worlds. He wishes to do this by turning Cybertron into a gigantic warship that will overpower nearly any type of alien race.
((I have a Transformers RP of my own. If you are interested.))
Awesome! Thanks, Malignus- now all we need are a few more Autobots and Decepticons, and of course Optimus Prime!

His color matches that of the Dragon and his feet take on the back of the Dragon's legs as well.

Pretender Shell Description: Tobias stands at around 5'11" He has gray hair that falls to his about his chin and is a little longer in the back. He typically wears a Black button shirt and black slacks with Steel toe boots.

Personality: Draconis is usually a over thinker, the only time a decision will be made fast is if he is in battle. He tends to be extremely viscous in his fighting style, often suppressing the urge to kill, he will toy with his prey. He often feels he doesn't get enough credit as he is very Full of himself.

Background: Draconis held the Alias ?Swoop? before on Cybertron until a vicious battle in which he had with Grimlock damaged him. A underground group of Scientists discovered the Flimsy Swoop on the near verge of Termination. They had removed his spark form his original body and into the new frame. They adopted his frame to that of Human earth dragon. He took the name Draconis, and later regrouped with the Deceptions, a year later acting as a whole new entity. He always wanted a place as leader but was always to weak to seek it until he became Draconis. Draconis learned much about technology while being among the scientists. He became very skilled with the designs of the robot manifest, and with System computers. He had a rare rumor that quintesins(sp?) had instructed the scientists in the Techniques they used.
Draconis Went to earth with the Decepticons initialy in order to seek revenge with his grudge Grimlock, however he has long since abandoned that idea, but he will fight grimlock when he gets that chance.


New in the Life of Draconis:
Draconis has claimed leader over the deserted Decepticons banded the few that remain under his orders. He has become deluded with his goals.
