The Rules:

Rule One:
Please write at least 1 paragraph for every character your posting with per post. It may seem like a lot, but it really isn't.

Rule Two:
Grammer and Spell Check are your friend. If you have a program that you can type in that has spell-check, please use it if you need it.

Rule Three:
Please wait for two others to post before you post again. I'm the only exception to this, and it is only for NPC characters, I have to follow it for any of my own. One other exception is in a 1 vs. 1 fight. You are allowed to post after that person as long it is combat and you have something you can respond to while still following the rules.

Rule Four:

No godmodding. Only do the actions of your character, not anyone else's.

Rule Five:

DO NOT POST if you are not on the player list. That's the way we keep order in the RPG. If people were to let in people on the fly this RPG could get really messy, really fast. Just look for a topic that says "More Than Meets The Eye Recruitment #2" which will be appearing within the next two weeks. Thanks for understanding. I'll repeat, please do not post in the RPG topic if your not a member of it, it disrupts the play flow, send me a PM if you are interested, and I'll immediatly reserve a place in the next recruitment for you. Thank You.

The Plot:

Prologue:
In the year 2009, a large starship called the Nemesis crash landed on Mars. It contained several evil robots, the Decepticons. They had meant to land on Earth but their engines failed. They created a space bridge and traveled to Earth, attacking power plants, and stole energy. Only a day later, a small shuttle carrying a small squad of Autobots landed and they fought back the Decepticons for now, though who knows how long they'll stay away.

The Autobots are consdiered heroes, and a combined human and Autobot taskforce called N.E.S.T. has been set up. The Autobots have also made friends with the town in which they saved and are currently located in. It is now 2010, and the Decepticons are gearing up for war, a war that Earth is not prepared for.

Episode 1 Summary (Posts #2 through #159):
The Decepticons performed a scouting mission, but the Autobots found out and chased them out of the town, capturing Drift in the process. Drift was able to escape from the Decepticons, along with doing some damage to Barricade and Megatron. At the same time, a Transformer named Lockdown appeared and was chased by the police until he was cornered by three police cars. The police attempted to arrest him when they realised that he was Transformer, and not a friendly one as he destroyed one of the police cars, and badly injured one of the higher ups, an attractive 27 year-old named Laura Walker, the older sister of Matt Walker, one of the soldiers who worked with the NEST Alliance. Lockdown then proceeded to be chased by an Autobot named Jetfire, and through the course of their fight, and bomb was dropped, blowing up a large part of the city.

Lockdown has dissappeared however, and now the Autobots have been blamed for the attacks. The United States army came to arrest the Autobots, but with help from their new teenage allies, Sara, Chad, Paul, and Aaron, along with a distraction by Matt, the Autobots escaped. The Autobots base camp is now in a clearing in the middle of a large forest near the city. Matt Walker has been taken into custody by the army, and freeing him is near the top of the Autobot priority list as is finding Lockdown. The Decepticons on the other hand are nearing the time to begin a series of global strikes, beginning with attack San Deigo just in time for the SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con), when the city is at it's peak population level.

Episode 2 Summary (Posts #171 through #307):
An autobot shuttle crash landed, and was investigated by the U.S. Navy and members of the Autobot Car Team. Combined efforts of the Car Team and the shuttle team fought back an attack by the Decepticons on San Diego. The Decepticons repeatedly blew up parts of the city, and the Autobots were barely able to keep them back. And that was when the U.S. Army came. They had jets, tanks, helicoptors, hummers, humvees, jeeps, guns, soldiers, everything. They attacked both the Autobots and the Decepticons, blowing them up good. The Autobots and Decepticons began to retreat, but not before Optimus and Megatron both got captured by the Army.

The Autobots regrouped, and after repairing themselves, are preparing to seperate into four groups to try and clear their names, and save the world, Optimus and Matt. The Decepticons on the other hand have reactivated 20 soldiers. That could hurt a bit!

The Setting:

This is based off of Classics/Updated G1, with some influences from the movies and Unicron Trilogy.

Other Notes:

You guys are allowed to make some human characters, just post a bit about them, before using them. They are in California. Go!

 

shockwave strolled into a room, it seemed most of the cons were already there. he held a holo disk in his hand and as he entered megatron motioned for shockwave to take his place at megatrons side, the right hand man of megatron, shockwave activated the holodisk and i a diagram of earth appeared. "gentelman this is earth" he spoke slowly and coolly calculating every word "our target is a small town in the earth country of california... this town is were the autobots have set up a base with the humans." shockwave looked up at his colleagues soundwave at megatrons left, barricade next to him and of course bludgeon across from him, in addition to counter punch and the constructicons filling out the ranks. "now the humans have set up a secure fortification and there are several strong autobots there but we out number them, they may be easily over come...."

 

Barricade stood next to Soundwave and Megatron, listening to Shockwave's report. He didn't like the idea of attacking the Autobot/human base. True, Shockwave stated that they outnumber the Autobots. However, if they're as strong as the scientist just said, and that they have a strong, secure, fortified base... is it really worth attacking them right on their own turf? Barricade certainly didn't think so, but... if he and Soundwave were to infiltrate the base to find out more about what they're dealing with, then perhaps the attack Shockwave is proposing would not be quite as reckless.

 

Jetfire entered the command center of the NEST Command. He had heard that the Decepticons were still active and wanted to se what was going on with them. The flying Autobot brought up an image of the planet, hoping to see of any enemy activity had been detected by the satellites around the Earth. The scans were empty of any unusual activity.

"GAH! No activity for three Earth days! How long are those 'Cons going to be in hiding?!" the white mech snarled as he fell back into the chair that was designed for his race.
-----------------------------------------------------
((No. He is full Armada form, just his G1 background. Jetfire is a scientist like in G1 except in Armada form and personality. I hope that clears it up a bit. I just wanted him to be a bit different ya know? No offense for the change, just like to be unique. Sorry for the confusion.))

 

Megatron looked to Shockwave with a look of some respect, but not much. True, they outpowered the Autobots and the puny flesh creatures, but an all out assault. Prime would be there, as he always is. Hmmm...what to do...

Matt Walker, a 22 year old man with messy red hair, and overall good looks, walked up some stairs into the main NEST Command area. There he heard Jetfire yell out, and laughed a little. "I'm sure you'll get your chance Jetfire!" He called out to the large jet 'bot. He ran up some more steps so he was a little closer to the Autobots head.

Back on Mars, Megatron makes a decision, and speaks, "Shockwave, while it may be logical to attack now, perhaps it would be better if we scout the area first." Turning to Soundwave he says, "Soundwave, take Counterpunch and Barricade to Earth. See if you can find out about the Autobots, their base, and the pathetic flesh creatures they call friends. Maybe we can use their feelings about the flesh creatures against them." Soundwave nods, "Understood, Megatron." Soundwave looks to the two mentioned and motions towards the exit for each.

On Earth, a brown haired, pretty 15 year-old girl, named Sara sat on top of some crates and looked at the Autobots who were tweaking the hanger in general. She talked with them as they worked. "So what's Cybertron like?" She worked on a drawing of Drift with his sword out pointing out at a scary robotic creature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((Edit: No problems, buddy))

 

shockwave sighed but simply nodded at megatrons decision, he could understand his decision but not by much, they were low on energon and needed tyo collect from an energy source.... shockwave stood and began to leave the room.

counter punch nodded stoicly, he appreciated the fact he had been chosen for a recon mission. this is the exact reason the autobots had taken so much time to plant the double spy high up in the ranks of the decepticons.... counter punch also began to leave the room with shockwave, barricade and soundwave. he was prepared for his mission...

 

Drift looked at the drawing briefly, looking for error.

"My blade should be a bit more intricate, and my stance seems unstable. Otherwise, quite nice."

However, in his spark, Drift was anxious for his first mission, something that had to do with scouting Megatron. After all, the Autobots seldom trusted him as of now, and he needed to prove his worth. The problem was the difficulty of said mission.

 

Barricade didn't know whether Megatron had read his mind or what, but he was very pleased when the Decepticon leader demanded that they do some reconnaissance at the Autobot base before launching an attack on it. He was even more pleased when he was assigned to that recon mission, yet he was unsure whether it was a good idea that Counterpunch would accompany him and Soundwave. Barricade was rather suspicious of Counterpunch, and he certainly didn't want to work with a mech he couldn't trust. Nonetheless, he walked out of the room with him and Soundwave, preparing to depart for Earth.

 

Soundwave walked up to the space bridge computer system and punched in several coordinates and codes. Energy pulsed through the walls, and started shooting out of parts towards the wall, a portal slowing opening up. "Prepare for travel through space bridge." He said, in his ever monotone voice.

In the main headquarters, Megatron stood alone, typing into the computer. Their probes had just returned from Earth and he was reading what they had found out about energy resources. It was all quite interesting, but it made the choice harder for where to attack. He found a power plant that had immense output, and brought it up. It could provide plenty of energon for them. Megatron smiled, and saved the file, closing it. He knew there next target, now to wait until Soundwave and his team returned.

On Earth, Sara smiled up at Drift and nodded, "Okay." She carefully earsed parts of his feet and started redrawing them. "You guys, still haven't answered my question." She said with a laugh. While the Autobots were well liked, most kids were still scared of them, but not Sara. They had saved her dad's life, and that made them the nicest beings in the world.

 

shockwave continued through the hallways of the nemesis until he finnaly emerged on the martian landscape, he scanned the area until he found wat he was looking for the just landed mars rover. he walked over and disconnected the camera and then picked it up, he had big plans for the device.

counter punch emerged from the space bridge and immediatly fell to the ground not used to the gravity of the earths surface....he always hated space bridge transport...

 

Barricade emerged from the Space Bridge, and landed perfectly on the ground. He scanned his surroundings, and then finding himself staring at Counterpunch, who had fallen onto the ground. He shook his head, biting back a growl of disgust, and waited for Soundwave to emerge from the Space Bridge.

 

Ravage was tried of being crammed in Soundwave's chest. I shall wait patienly. For Megatron. For Soundwave. And most of all, MYSELF!!

Springer walked around N.E.S.T. command. "Meh...too bad MY men haven't showed up yet." Springer was refering to the Wreckers. His men. Their original ledar, Impactor, left him to command them. Too bad he failed. Springer closed his eyes and clenched his teeth as he remembered the slaughter...

(OOC:two things
1. The words in italics are Ravage's thoughs
2. Wasn't Springer a leader?
also Ravage's part was EDITED)

 

(Um, multiple things, First, I let it slide this time, but don't show an action by another player that the player didin't do, that's god-modding. Two, I said if other leaders came around that made more sense, the people in the leader position would be knocked down a notch.)

 

(oohh, sorry ehhe....and ok)

 

Jetfire looked back at the human and gave a small glare. "Yeah, if those slagging 'Cons try anything, which they haven't yet! I'm just bored, that's all. Watching monitors is not my thing really..." The mech just glanced back at the screens, hoping for an attack to come soon. The sooner he saw action, the better.
---------------------------------------------
((Try to follow the rules, ironarm. I know you are new here, but try to keep that in mind, ok? I want the RP to continue without anyone loosing interest. And pay attention to what is written a few posts before you. It will make more sense if that is done.))

 

(OOC: Ironarm, I don't mean to be a nag, but like Galvanitro said you are god-modding and I would suggest editing your first post in regards to your character of Ravage since he's supposed to be in Soundwave's chest and not on the Nemesis. For the time being, focus on your character of Springer until Galvanitro's character Soundwave releases Ravage)

 

(ok. thanks for the suggestion. i'll do that now)

 

(OOC: You're welcome. I'm just trying my best to help you out there. Just hope that I don't come across as sounding too harsh.)

 

(no, its fine. btw the italics here represent the flashback.)

...Springer recalled the horror. Megatron had slaughtered them all...except for him "NOOOOO!!!!", Springer yelled as he watched in horror as Whirl was stabbed in the chest."ARGH!!!" Springer punched a giant dent on the side of the ship. "aww crap...". Springer facepalmed himself. Springer decided to find Jetfire. Maybe he could help him with revenge...

Quickly Springer ran towards where Jetfire stayed.

 

Jetfire turned back to see Springer running his way. For some reason, the Wrecker was coming to him, a mere scientist. Might as well see what he wants... Jetfire mused as he stood up, being careful of the human near him. "What is it, Springer?" the white shuttle asked. At least it was better than viewing monitors all day...
