Rom 2

## [Source]

***Rom 2*** is the second issue of IDW Publishing's *Rom* series. It was published on August 24, 2016.

## Publisher's Summary

*“Earthfall,” part 2. ROM is under attack by an entire town full of Dire Wraiths… but these Wraiths are far more powerful than any he’s ever faced before. How? Why? The answers await in this issue… if you dare!*

## Plot

In Cooper's Mill, Rom and Darby Mason take a moment to gather themselves after their ordeal at Darby's childhood home. Rom wonders why the attempt by Darby's "father" to replace her as a Wraith did not work and wants to analyze her brain. Rom also needs to purge the Dire Wraith infestation in the town. However, the infestation is more widespread than Rom has ever seen, with the Dire Wraiths have corrupted both technology and local flora and fauna.

After expending a large amount of energy destroying the Wraith presence in Cooper's Mill, the pair rest in Blind Eye Cave where Rom tells Darby about his mission and the Solstar Order. Sensing a non-Human presence, Rom leaves to investigate.

Joe Colton and Scarlett discuss the ramifications of alien life on Earth, including Rom and the Cybertronians in Monument Valley. Colton dispatches a special unit to Cooper's Mill, where they find Darby.

Nearby, Camilla Byers is being hunted by Wraith Stalkers until she is rescued by Rom. However, he discovers she has the Wraithmark and reluctantly prepares to kill her before the infection spreads. A group of soldiers arrive, and Rom's Analyzer shows them to be Human, meaning he cannot kill them. However, despite Rom's reading, Camilla clearly sees that the soldiers are, in fact, Dire Wraiths.

Marcia Watkins

## [Source]

**Marcia Watkins** was a recruit for Miles Manheim's Project Spectrum. She was a communications specialist.

## Biography

Marcia Watkins was selected for Project Spectrum due to her speciality in communications. Project Spectrum was Miles Manheim's effort to create a black-ops team specifically to defend Earth from Cybertronians. During the training, Watkins was selected to be the first to test Project Spectrum's specialized combat vehicles. Using a protoype Mask to interface with the vehicle, she piloted Gator while Evans drove Jackhammer. During testing, the interface between Watkins' Mask and Gator began to burn her neck, and the vehicle exploded shortly after, killing her. Evans was killed seconds later when Jackhammer flipped and exploded.

Nightbeat

## [Source]

**Nightbeat** is a Cybertronian Transformer and Autobot.

## History

By 2005, Nightbeat was operating under a free-ranging and self-structured remit while serving with the Autobots which saw him engaged in solo missions. Nightbeat was contacted by the mercenary Krakon, who offered to sell him a flight recorder he claimed was from the first *Ark*. Upon rendezvousing with Krakon's spacecraft, Nightbeat found Krakon dying with signs of accelerated necrosis. With Krakon dead and the flight recorder missing, Nightbeat decided to investigate where Krakon claimed he found the item; the planet Gorlam Prime.

Arriving on Gorlam Prime and adapting his alt-mode to blend in, Nightbeat found a planet on the verge of a evolutional shift from organic life to bio-mechanical. Investigating Excavation Site Number 4, Nightbeat found a massive dimensional portal. While observing it, Nightbeat was confronted by four unknown Transformers who attempted to take him prisoner. Nightbeat managed to escape, but was quickly captured.

Nightbeat was forced to undergo a procedure on his cranial architecture, where a mysterious individual installed a Cerebral Implant and Buffer Blocks. With the procedure complete, Nightbeat remembered nothing of his trip to Gorlam Prime.

While engaged in a routine sweep of the Durzan Sector, Nightbeat was contacted by Optimus Prime, who ordered him to rendezvous with the *Ark-32* for onward transit to the planet Earth.

Mechatheory

"*In these more enlightened days, many of the peripheral theories are now lumped together into the "retro" category, and modern Mechatheory stems largely from the Buchanan crop manifestations of 2002.*"
—Mechatopia.com[src]
**Mechatheory** is the belief that the planet Earth was secretly invaded by alien mechanoids who could disguise themselves as vehicles. Many theories surrounding the arrival and discovery of these beings existed; the paleo-purists believed that geological data from Eureka, Nevada pointed to the existence of large dinosaur-variant mechanoids. Others believed that exhibits recovered from the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1984 were gospel proof of the theory, and it was widely accepted as such by the cross-generationals. Websites like mechatopia.com detailed the history and evidence gathered by Mechatheory, but also believed that the modern roots of the movement largely stemmed from the Buchanan crop manifestations in 2002.

Snarl

+ Dynobots

## [Source]

**Snarl** is a Cybertronian Transformer, and member of the Autobot subgroup know as the Dynobots.

## Biography

Around 8,000 B.C., Snarl and his fellow Dynobots raided a Decepticon energon silo in Sub-Sector-Nine on Cybertron. The raid was successful, but on route back to Autobot territory, Shockwave attacked them and destroyed the stolen cache in their possession, injuring all of the Dynobots. Despite being told by Optimus Prime to forget it, Grimlock swore revenge. Waiting for Shockwave to leave Cybertron on his own, the Dynobots followed him to the primitive planet Earth in their spacecraft, the *Skyfire*. Snarl wondered what he was doing on the world, with Swoop replying that the high concentrations of energon in the atmosphere were masking his movements and that the presence of energon on the world could not be coincidental. Due to the high concentrations of energon, the Dynobots risked stasis lock if they went to the surface unprotected, prompting Slag to suggest they reformat their alt-modes to copy extinct reptilians native to the planet and cover themselves with synthetic flesh. Snarl took on the form of a stegosaurus.

Transporting to the surface, the Dynobots engaged Shockwave in a vicious fight. At first, their assault appeared to be working, staggering the Decepticon as he attempted to deal with the illogical nature of the situation. Eventually, Shockwave adapted, using Sludge as a flail to batter the ground-based Dynobots, including Snarl. Although the Dynobots were defeated, Grimlock's pre-programmed auto-firing of the *Skyfire*'s weapons systems ensured that all of the combatants were consumed in a volcanic explosion.

Phenolo-Phi

## [Source]

**Phenolo-Phi** is a member of the crew of the *Heliopolis*.

## Biography

Phenolo-Phi was born on the planet Qwin Primary, located in Microspace's Qwin System. Her mother was a famous painter, noted for her works depicting celestial bodies and star systems, while her father was head of a team of scientists working on improving the technology of the glider suit.

During the civil war, Qwin Primary was attacked by Ministry of Defense forces. Phenolo-Phi was with her parents at her father's research facility during the assault, and explosions brought the building down. Phenolo-Phi's parents were killed in the attack, but she stole the prototype glider suit and made her escape.

Holding no loyalty to either Ministry, Phenolo-Phi traveled to Lomaari Station, where she met Oziron Rael, Acroyear, and Microtron. Oz tried to charm her to join their crew aboard the warpcore starship *Heliopolis*, which worked more because she wanted to leave Lomaari Station rather than Oz's efforts.

## Personality and traits

Phenolo-Phi has an inquisitive mind, and advanced engineering skills, both of which were instilled in her by her father. Her mother, on the hand, taught Phenolo-Phi that there are many things worthing living for, but that war was not one of them. An exercise fanatic, Phenolo-Phi insists on keeping fit.

## Equipment

Phenolo-Phi operates the prototype glider suit that her father was designing shortly before his death. It has a limited life support capability for short space missions. Due to the fact that the glider suit is a prototype, and Phenolo-Phi has no instruction manual or formal training, she often discovers a new ability that she did not know about.

**Mercy Gale** is an agent of the Action Man Programme.

## Biography

### Early life

Mercy Gale was born in Manchester, England and was educated at King's College, Cambridge specializing in game theory. She was recruited into M.I.6 after graduation. Her excellent performance over five years brought her to the attention of Director Patrick Cain of the Action Man Programme. He offered Mercy a role in the organization, and she accepted.

### Action Man Programme

Ten months after joining the Action Man Programme, Mercy was promoted to the head of the intelligence. He responsibilities included directing operations for the then-current Action Man, Mike Brogan, and working alongside quartermaster Professor Ernst Sinclair. Over the course of her career, she deployed Brogan against enemies such as Cobra, the Coil, the Machination, Baron Ironblood, and Doctor X.

Despite the Action Man Programme's successes, Mercy became disillusioned with the organization. She came to see them as a purely reactive force, and one that never affected real change. During a mission to Newcastle College, she discovered that Action Man had accidentally killed Doctor X. Taking advantage of the situation, Mercy took over Doctor X's operations, working both sides to enact world change. Mercy's efforts ensured that the United Kingdom did not suffer as badly as the rest of the world during the Decepticon invasion of Earth.

In her role as Doctor X, Mercy built and maintained several secret bases around the world, including The Chateau.

## Skills and abilities

Mercy Gale has significantly higher-than-average strength and agility for a woman of her age, height, and build. She is a gifted strategist who is able to plan for multiple contingencies. Mercy is fully qualified to handle all NATO weapons, as well as classified Secret Intelligence Service weapons and equipment.

Oziron Rael

## [Source]

**Oziron Rael** is a Pharoid and captain of the *Heliopolis*.

## Biography

### Early life

Oziron Rael was born on the planet Luxoris in the Pharoid Cluster of Microspace. He was one of only a handful of Pharoids who were "sensitives," beings who could communicate with their ancestors known as the Time Travelers. On behalf of the Ministry of Science, Oz and several other Pharoids underwent intense mental preparation to communicate with the Time Travelers. The Time Travelers had been missing since the formation of the Entropy Cloud, and the Ministry of Science believed that the Time Travelers held the key to stopping it. During the attempt to communicate with the Time Travelers, all of the Pharoids except for Oz died from massive cerebral damage. Oz fled the scene, remembering nothing and unsure of what had occurred.

Going into hiding, Oz eventually turned to a life as a mercenary and smuggler. He worked primarily for Hezlee Ferro, a criminal and merchant on the planet Micropolis-12. During this time, he met another of Hezlee's employees, Microtron. The pair worked together on a mission that brought them into contact with the Clemens Raider Crew, which was led by the four Clemens brothers. During the confrontation, Oz and Microtron were the only survivors. The Clemens brothers, having lost one of their own, vowed revenge on the pair of them.

Oz eventually saved enough credits to buy one of the last warpcore starships, the *Heliopolis*. Gathering a crew that included Microtron, Acroyear, and Phenolo-Phi. Because of the speed that Oz was able to travel, his services were in high demand.

## Personality and traits

Oz is a pacifist like all Pharoids, and avoids combat at all costs. However, on the occasions he is forced to fight, Oz is an adequate fighter. Despite his reticence to fight, Oz surrounds himself with companions who have no problem with combat.

Scattershot

## [Source]

**Scattershot** is a Cybertronian Transformer who is a member of the Autobot subgroup known as the Technobots.

## Biography

Along with the rest of the Technobots, Scattershot was part of the crew of the Science/Survey Vessel *Calabi-Yau* under the command of Jetfire. During a routine mission monitoring Cybertron, an energy signature was detected near Thunderhead Pass. Scattershot, Lightspeed, and Strafe were led to the surface by Jetfire to investigate, with Scattershot's shielding against cosmic radiation a factor in his deployment. On the surface, the Decepticon Bludgeon and his followers used light-warping armor to incapacitate Lightspeed and Strafe. At Scattershot's suggestion, he and Jetfire began to fire in all directions. However, their weapon discharge catalysed the mass in the particle storm, causing a reaction that shut down their shields and overloaded their systems. The Decepticons captured Scattershot and the ground team.

Now a prisoner of Bludgeon, Scattershot, Lightspeed and Strafe were rendered immobile and were intended to be used as raw materials for the polydermal grafting process that Bludgeon was attempting to replicate from Thunderwing's experiments. Scattershot, along with Lightspeed, Strafe, and Jetfire, were rescued by the Wreckers and Optimus Prime. Rescued by the Wreckers, Scattershot and the Technobots assisted Jetfire in studying Bludgeon's work to try and find a way to shut down Thunderwing. Their discovery that the Ultra-Energon was consumed faster the more energy Thunderwing expended proved key to defeating the entity.

Iguanus

## [Source]

**Iguanus** is a Cybertronian Transformer and Decepticon.

## Biography

Iguanus was part of Bludgeon's cult-like group that worshipped Thunderwing and sought to resurrect him. After finding the inert Thunderwing under Thunderhead Pass, Bludgeon intended to reawaken and subtly control him through an axis cradle, powered by Ultra-Energon. After capturing several Autobots on Cybertron's surface, Bludgeon ordered Iguanus and Bomb-Burst and to rouse the entity. Iguanus oversaw the application of Ore-13 to Thunderwing, which began to reawaken him, and reported the findings to Bludgeon.

As Thunderwing razed the planet Nebulos, Bludgeon ordered Iguanus to put the entity on auto-driver now that he was engaged in destruction. When Bludgeon's base was raided by Autobot forces led by Optimus Prime and the Wreckers, Finback, Skullgrin, and Bomb-Burst were taken out quickly. Iguanus saw the destruction and rushed to find Bludgeon in the Nexus, confident that Bludgeon would know what to do. Arriving, he found Bludgeon encased in his new exo-shell. However, the shell had not been neuro-aligned, and the psychic backlash caused Bludgeon to attack Iguanus, cleaving off his right arm. Dying, Iguanus witnessed Bludgeon try and remove the exo-shell and freezing in place. When Optimus and the Wreckers arrived, Iguanus explained what happened to him, and then died.

**Mount Olympus** is a mountain located 270 miles from Athens, Greece. It was the location of a large cache of Ore-13.

## History

In 2016, a Secret Intelligence Service team led by former G.I. Joe member Big Ben tracked covert agents into a cave inside Mount Olympus after following them through Dover, France, and Italy. A confrontation ensued, and the agents killed Big Ben's entire squad. Big Ben was wounded and unaware of the identities of the agents were unknown until he found G.I. Joe dogtags, but he did manage to trigger a distress signal.

Action Man Ian Noble was dispatched to investigate, and he found Big Ben impaled on spikes of Ore-13. Big Ben relayed all of the information he had to Action Man, telling him that they were after the crystals before they left. Action Man was pulled out of the cave before he could attempt to rescue Big Ben by Agent Terrence Salmons due to energy fluctuations in the crystals. Shortly after, Mount Olympus exploded.

Mining Outpost C-12

## [Source]

"*That's right. For all of you, this will be your last cycle working on Orbiting Mine C-12. I know this has been like a home to many of you. The Senate will help you find new homes — and new assignments.*"
—Senator Decimus[src]
**Mining Outpost C-12** was an energon mine located on Croteus 12, one of the satellites in the Cybertron system. Before the Great War, it was the last unautomated mining outpost operated by Cybertron. Among the miners working at C-12 were Megatron, Frenzy, and Rumble.

Mining Outpost C-12 was scheduled for automation in an effort to cut costs of mining the energon. Senator Decimus visited the facility as part of the shutdown operation, announcing to the workers that the mine was been closed. However, one of the miners brought up the issue of automation and was swiftly silenced by Autobot security forces.

The miner Megatron used his mining tool to injure Senator Decimus, and then killed a security official. The remaining miners began rioting, earning a response from the security forces. The majority of the miners were cut down, and the survivors—including Megatron, Frenzy, and Rumble—were taken aboard the repatriation shuttle *Longshot* for transport to Penal Facility H-3, colloquially known as "The Rig."
