RP: For Cybertron

"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing."
::::—Optimus Prime
Autobots are rallying across the galaxy from a distress call from one Optimus Prime. But they are spread wide, and spread thin. The Decepticons have the same idea, and groups are gathering across the world. North America, Europe, the Middle-East, Asia. They fight to save and fight to enslave. Will you join the Autobots? Or will you work for the Decepticons?
==Rules==
# No overpowered bots. (Let's say an F22 Raptor made of adamantium armed with nuclear missile launchers, a gatling gun that fires grenades, and a cannon that can blow a building apart in one shot.)
# Normal posts must be at least 8 complete sentences, beginning post must be 10 complete sentences.
# Swearing is permitted, but keep it mostly clean.
# Only leader units and planes may be the size of Prime or Megatron. Not everyone is that beefy.
# Please, no Crossovers. This is a "canon" RP.
# Most of all! Have fun. WE MEAN IT.

===Gateway===
*Name: Gateway
*Alignment: Autobots
*Description: Gateway is a fairly medium sized autobot with thin but very stong, dense armour. He has a sort of geometric, cornered turtle shell on his back, also used for defense. His face protector is made up of the entire, un-changed form of the cockpit shield and moves up behind his head when not being used. His torso, arms and shoulders are covered with jagged peices of hull plating and his legs are covered with curved, uniform peices. His feet are comprised of the landing gears and the grapling hook launchers and the engines are attatched behind his knees.
*Alt-Mode: F-302 Fighter-Interceptor
*Armament: 2 Hand Mounted Railguns, 2 Lower arm mounted Missile Launchers, 2 Shoulder Mounted Grapling Hook Cannons
*Personaliity: Logical and highly decisive, he will only do something if it is most logical. He has no distinct accent due to the model of craft he chose to become, an F-302 which is American, Russian and Chinese. He prefers to be in the air as much as possible as he tends not to do well in enclosed or tight spaces.
*Background: While on his way to earth, he was seperated from his Autobot squad and was spotted by the Prometheus whilst in orbit. The Stargate program had heard of the events of the transformers and had encountered a number of Cybertron ships before hand. He was allowed to scan one of the F-302's in the hanger bay and was trained in a number of human piloting tactics if he ever encountered enemies, Goa'uld, Replicator or Decepticon alike. As the Attacks on earth grew more violent, the SGC was ordered by the president of each respective goverment from America Russia and China to reveal themselves, which also allowed Gateway to become more public in his transforming. Gateway draws his name from the Stargate aswell as the F-302 hyperdrive system, both being a gateway to another place.

===Ravager===
*Name: Ravager
*Alignment: Decepticons
*Description: Ravager is very large, about the size of a prime. He is mostly red, but has a thick horizontal red stripe on both his legs and arms, and across his torso and face. He has long horns and a head similar to a steel gargoyle. However, the rest of his body is thick, and he has very strong armor. The vicious robot's weakness is his speed, as he is very slow, unless flying. He flies with the AC-130 wings on his back.
*Alt. mode: AC-130 gunship
*Armament: Left arm replaced with rocket with 3 individual 'barrels', claymore (sword) that has serrated edges and spins like a chainsaw (obviously it will be as big to Ravager as a normal claymore is to human), shoulder mounted minigun, has flamethrower inside mouth, with fire mixed with tar to stick, 'Blue boy' locked inside chest as last ditch attempt.
*Personality: Ravager is very true to his name. He loves destruction. He will always get the job done in the most destructive way. He is also vicious and likes saying things like "I will rip you apart piece by piece! Slowly!" Ravager enjoys stomping out the weak and proving his honor against the strong. He will never flee a fight, ever.
*Background: Ravager was separated from his unit due to a meteor, and crash-landed into the antarctic ice, where he frozen in comatose. He was one of the first decepticons ever to come to earth, as he came around the same time as the civil war began. However, in 1917, Sir Ernest Shackleton triggered a very, very slow reaction that eventually-in 2004-caused the caver Ravager was trapped in to collapse. A large shard of ice sheared off Ravager's left arm. At a decepticon base, he replaced the stump with a rocket launcher and was further weaponized. He completed all of his missions with a deadly mix of rage and joy. At one mission, his target ventured into an exploding nuclear reactor simply to avoid, and Ravager went in to the reactor and beheaded his target regardless of its attempted suicide. He loves finishing-or just flat out attacking- with his claymore saw.
