Dimension Guardians

The **Dimension Guardians** are a faction of the TransTech's Interdimensional Corps charged with continuing the Multiversal Timestreams as they are intended, and protecting them from interruptions. (ranging from the *Generation One* series, Fanfiction, the Robot Heroes toyline, to the recent 2015 *Robots in Disguise* series). The Dimensional Guardians are equipped with special gear that grants the wielder a near impervious form of armor and supposedly increases their firepower. It provides an array of tools, and sometimes concealment. Some Guardians, such as Windblade and Outblast abandoned the cause to follow their own path; the latter becoming an agent for the **Dimensional Overseers**. Other Guardians, like The Agent, are on their own missions to restore peace and order to the Multiverse. The Guardians are often overseen by The Overlord, the bossbot of all the Interdimensional Corps.

## Notes from the Data-Pad

*"The Dimensional Guardians are an organisation that reside within Axiom Nexus, and are the guardians of time and the Transformers multiverse. While the Transtechs monitor and such, the Guardians need to be actively deployed to remove intruders from other dimensions, outer dimensional heists, and the creation and soon to be apocalypse caused by Tangent Universes"*

They consist of not just TransTechs themselves, but people from a variety of universes. Such as myself.

The Dimensional Guardians have several ranks within them, that denote positions, authority and occupations.

**- Dimensional Sentries**

*Bodyguards, security. Most often, they don’t exactly do anything important.*

**- Dimensional Scouts**

*Recon, investigation of possible criminals and such.*

**- Dimensional Guardians**

*Primary operatives. Generally assigned to one cluster of primary universes for a majority of their lives. Most equipped to deal with Tangent Universes.*

**- Dimensional Overseers**

*Kind of a command to the Guardians / Scouts. They seem to lack to actual experience with the technicalities that the Guardians do.*

**- Dimensional Council**

*A council that dictates everything. Not very good people.*

**- The Overlord**

*Unknown.*

*- Author, unknown*
Slipstream

Nobody knows much about where **Slipstream** actually came from... not even the Decepticons. Some describe her as being a female counterpart to Starscream, but that's probably because she has the same overconfident and cocky attitude as him, and almost the same amount of patience. Not many of the Decepticons actually *trust* her, presumably because her true agenda is always kept secret from everyone around her. Needless to say, she was one of the many Seekers under Starscream's command before the Great Wars broke out, and she joined up with the Decepticons for reason known to very few. The only thing sharper than Slipstream's acerbic tongue is her keen mind—whether as a soldier or a spy-for-hire, she gets the job done and always makes sure to keep her true agenda shielded.

There are rumors going around that she might be forming a plan to seize command of the Decepticons, but nobody has the evidence to prove it. Regardless, Megatron knows enough about her to keep an eye on her just as he does Starscream. Whenever Slipstream disappears from the radar, one can only assume that she's up to no good. One reason she has openly known among the Decepticons for joining them is because of her rivalry with Arcee, sparked when she murdered the Autobot Tailgate in cold blood. One thing is for certain, the next time they meet on the battlefield, only one of them will walk away in one piece.

After Starscream betrayed the Decepticons, Slipstream appears to become the First Lieutenant of the Decepticons.
Tropes

Like all media, roleplays and fiction - Robot Defenders contains tropes, and a lot. Played straight, subverted, deconstructed. Many can apply here. Of course, we will be going by a TV Tropes format.

## Dimensional Travellers

### **The Agent**

* **Determinator** - "Never compromise". One of The Agent's most common phrases, and really summing up his entire character. He cannot compromise in his mission and his job. He is determined beyond belief to repair this timeline. Deconstructed in the psychological toll this takes on both him and his partner, and the eventual causes his sheer determination to repair this timeline would have.
* **Not in My Contract** - For the most part, The Agent sticks to his apparent job, and doesn't help the Autobots, nor Decepticons unless he deems it necessary. He won't even stop humans from getting killed, something the Autobots seem to despise.
* **Deadpan Snarker** - "You know why it’s a strange energy? Because it’s energy you don’t mess with". "Ohh, emotional problems, I have those too, what kind are you plagued with?". The Agent's most common frame of speech aside from cold, cryptic speeches are either sarcastic, cynical or bitter.
* **The Snark Knight**
* **Knight in Sour Armour** - "“Like, people say that the universe is a great, wonderful thing and deserves to be saved. But is that really true? Saving? Yeah. But a great, wonderful place seems far from the truth"
* **Well-Intentioned Extremist -** So determined to fix this timeline, he'll do just about everything.
* **Knight Templar -** Deconstructed, The Agent constantly tries to reinforce his actions with this philosophy, but ends up doubting them and himself, whilst falling into an existential crisis. He realises that this line of thinking just doesn't work, but the Determinator in him keeps encouraging him to try that way.
* **The Stoic**
* **Straw Nihilist**
* **The Cynic**
* **Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is For Kids!** - Towards *literally every Autobot.*
* **Retired Badass** - Often hinted at.

### **Ouja**

* **Angst? What Angst?** - "I’ve accepted that, I’ve accepted the futility in it all. I don’t keep fighting it, or arguing with it, or thinking about it. I know it. I’ve accepted it"
Megatron

*"I knew you couldn't do it! You had your chance to save Cybertron... and you blew it! Now you shall watch Earth die!"* ―Megatron taunts Shockdrop

**Megatron** was not always the viciously powerful and brutally direct leader of the Decepticons; he was once brothers-in-arms with Optimus Prime and originally a gladiator from the Pits of Kaon. According to his files, he was appointed to be Cybertron's Protector and Commander of its Defense Force. Deep down, Megatron resented his comrade, knowing he was a Prime and therefore the most valued Cybertronian at the time. This anger drove Megatron to turn against his brother and wage a brutal War across Cybertron with his ever-expanding army of Decepticons (Soundwave chief among them). Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore "secondary" matters, glaring flaws in his plans. As Starscream had so learned, trying to talk Megatron out of blindly going for his goals is useless. He will risk his world, his troops, and even his own Spark to achieve his goals; these things do not matter to him.

Despite this fatal flaw, Megatron did not achieve his dreaded status through simple warmongering. He's a manipulative, cunning strategist who can plan multiple schemes spanning millennia, and while they may overlap, they all help him toward his one, true goal: the restoration of Cybertron. For all his evils, Megatron genuinely strives to save his home planet some day, and with it, the Cybertronian Race... even if it means he has to rule it with his iron fist and put his bloodlust to good use to do so.

While on Earth, Megatron's attention was soon drawn to the Dark Spark, a dark relic that arrived in the *Robot Defenders* timeline from the *Generation One* universe. Upon taking possession of it, the artifact became a symbol of Decepticon Leadership. Megatron also appeared to be allied with the powerful space sorceress Quintessa, as both desired to revive Cybertron.

Megatron currently has two themes. One for his main appearances and one for battle.
Omega spark

The omega spark is an old relic from the depths of cybertron. It was banished from cybertron after the decepticons used it to create trypticon. The high council saw this and had it put on the lost light. When overlord attacked he found the item and kept it. He later gave it to moltestorm. Then he had it stolen by Twinlust. It also makes infinite enrgon cubes to keep everybody online.
Scouts

My parents weren’t around when I was awake, and when I was meant to be sleeping I was the one not there. One afternoon I decided it would be worth looking for some presents in the attic, and I spent the rest of the afternoon up there in the crawl space. Dirty and wicked. Then it was the neighbours, the supermarkets after dark and warehouses and train lines when I finally moved out.

I got into a lot of trouble along the way. Pox, you may have guessed isn’t my real name, but I hit the gym for that extra edge to get in and out of those tight spaces a little quicker. A few years back my housemate went missing and when the police accused me of his murder I ran. Got past a half dozen and over the back fence before vanishing, it pays to know the surroundings well.

Ion Blaster

The **Ion Blaster** is a kind of laser rifle and the signature weapon of Optimus Prime. Only used by the Leader of the Autobots when all attempts at peace have failed, the Ion Blaster ensures that freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Optimus once used it to take out the entire Decepticon Army on his way to confront Megatron at Autobot City in 2005. The weapon strikes fear into the Sparks of any Decepticon foolish enough to challenge him...

Except Megatron. Only Primus knows how many times Optimus has shot Megatron and failed to kill him. Starscream knows that frustration all too well.
Starscream's Legion

After his betrayal of the Decepticons following the Transformers' arrival on Earth, the ruthless and power-hungry Starscream rallied a number of renegade Decepticons to form **Starscream's Legion**. The legion was formed by Decepticons who questioned Megatron's ability to lead the Decepticon Cause to victory over the Autobots. Among his ranks included rogue scientist iTaB and the Multi-Changer Sixfire, the latter having joined the legion for a temporary time.

"Need power, much more power, to gain power I must reign supreme! To become supreme I must have absolute power! I am no longer Jaegertron, Jaegertron was a loser and a coward. I am Galvatron! Supreme leader of all Star Seekers!"

The mysterious cybertronian known as **Galvatron** is the self-proclaimed "emperor of Destruction", his raw power is a key adversary due to the fact that no one knows who he is. His past is mysterious due to the fact that all historic records were destroyed and no copies exist. he did somehow acquire a planet filled with blue flowers - each containing the spark of the former cybertronians. Galvatron is scared of no body, his raw power allows him to touch the body of Moltenstorm and not suffer any effects due to the fact that Moltenstorm placed a defense system in his body that means no one can touch it or else they'll suffer his forever wrath.

He was once Jaegertron - a bounty hunter who didn't like the Autobots and Decepticons, when the chaos ensued, he and a small army fled aboard a space ship and fled towards a distant galaxy, he followed the cybertronians and discovered the destruction they had caused to whole worlds. Jaegertron would eventually become Galvatron after meeting Quintessa - a fool who thinks Galvatron is her slave.

He is one of the major antagonists in the *Robot Defenders* continuity, the others being Megatron, Starscream and Unicron.

**HISTORY**
Cybertron

**Cybertron** is the homeworld of the Transformers, the body of their Creator Primus, and the source from which all Energon (minus Dark Energon) originates. The planet was (apparently) once lifeless until the Creators came and cyberformed the planet, creating the race of Transformers. Some of the most known Cybertronians who inhabited Cybertron were the Autobots and Decepticons. Notable Cybertronians who led the planet's inhabitants were Optimus Prime (known back then as Orion Pax) and Lord High Protector, Megatron. Eventually, War erupted on Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons, for control of the planet and its energy resources. The Autobots fought to save the planet while the Decepticons sought to conquer it.

Eventually, the War depleted most of Cybertron's energy reserves and the Core itself was poisoned. This forced both the Autobots and Decepticons to evacuate the planet, which ultimately brought them to the distant planet Earth. Shockwave was initially put in charge of the planet after the Decepticons left in pursuit of the Autobots, but the Scientist eventually travelled to Earth himself, leaving the planet leaderless. This enabled the space sorceress Quintessa and her Infernocons to seize control. Splitting the planet apart, Quintessa guided Cybertron toward Earth, intending to revive the planet using the life force from Earth (in reality Unicron). After the Autobots stormed Cybertron and vanquished Quintessa, the planet was placed back under Autobot control and partially connected to Earth. Following Quintessa's failed plan, Cybertron had regained enough energy to once again sustain life. Galvatron and Cyclonus would call a truce with the Autobots, making sure to begin his plan for the destruction of all Cybertronians.

5 years later - Galvatron would once again plot to defeat the Cybertronians, after gaining warriors from the past, present, and future. He would begin to host gladiatorial combat and would begin to restore Megatronus Prime and Quintessa. Cyclonus would eventually find an ancient threat, one that was far more powerful than Moltenstorm and Quintessa, one that could be shaped by Galvatron into a powerful ally. The Cybertronian was hidden in a tomb deep below Cybertron, a tomb filled with the remains of thousands of bodies. The unknown ancient being would be christained as Nemesis Prime - a dark threat that looks and sounds like Optimus, but is black and gold.
H.A.D.E.S.

**H.A.D.E.S.** was an intelligent AI created by Megatron following the success of Project Zero Hour. Upon its activation, H.A.D.E.S. immediately begun planning the extinction of all life on the planet Earth -- which included the Transformers residing there as well. By the time Megatron discovered the treachery, it was too late. Fortunately, efforts by the Autobots and Humans resulted in the deactivation of H.A.D.E.S. and stopping its plan for good.

It was later revealed that Outblast had captured H.A.D.E.S. with the intention of learning more about its power.
Quintessa

*"You traitor! You had the chance to restore your home... and you chose defiance!"* —Quintessa to Shockdrop

The mysterious space sorceress known as **Quintessa** is the self-proclaimed "Prime of Life," and apparently claims to have created the Cybertronian species. She believes that Cybertron is hers to command. Her past is almost as mysterious as that of the Dimensional Guardians, but her power may very well surpass theirs.

She once commanded the Guardian Knights before they "betrayed" her and stole her Staff (which later became the Wizard Merlin's). The Knights refer to Quintessa as "The Great Deceiver," so how much of what she says is actually *true* may be up for debate. What *does* appear to be true about Quintessa is that she's a ruthless, genocidal psychopath with massive delusions of grandeur—an overall "charming" personality that, quite frankly, makes her more endearing to the tyrannical Megatron than to the noble Optimus Prime. She commands a small group of Transformers known as the Infernocons.

She is one of the major antagonists in the *Robot Defenders* continuity, the others being Megatron, Starscream and Unicron.

## History

The true origins and motives of the being known as Quintessa are unknown. She professed to be the creator and goddess of Cybertron, but in the distant past, her twelve guardian knights came to understand that she was not as benevolent as she appeared, and so stole her powerful staff and hid it on Earth.

In the present day, Quintessa sought to repair the shattered Cybertron—ravaged by the Autobot/Decepticon war. Remaining unseen, Quintessa was able to follow the conflict between the Autobot forces and Moltenstorm's Predacons on Earth. Through doing so, Quintessa learned of the latter's plans to resurrect Cybertron's ancient enemy, Unicron. While the Autobots started their attack on Moltenstorm's forces, Quintessa revealed herself to Jaegertron, reformatting him into "Galvatron" and sending him on a mission to hack Moltenstorm's data network. The brainwashed Galvatron would quickly revert to Jaegertron, though this didn't concern Quintessa, who had forged an alliance with the Decepticon Leader, Megatron, to locate her staff on Earth.

## Notes

* Quintessa is loosely based on the Quintessons of the *Generation One* lore, while her name comes from their home planet.
Bumblebee

**Bumblebee** is a young and eager Autobot, a member of the last generation to be created before the loss of the AllSpark. He's full of energy and determination to do the right thing, and can always be counted on to volunteer for action. His small size, matched with his impressive speed, made him an excellent Scout and messenger on the war-torn landscape of Cybertron. During a battle against the Decepticons at Tyger Pax, Bumblebee was captured and interrogated by the Decepticon Leader, Megatron. When he refused to answer any questions, Megatron crushed his voice box and left the Scout for dead. Fortunately, Autobots found and rescued him, but the encounter left him mute. Determined to prove his worth to the other Autobots, Bumblebee continued to fight even after the Transformers' age-old war spilled over to Earth.

Earth was a far cry from the ravaged wasteland of his birth, and Bumblebee adapted to his new home faster than any of his fellow Autobots. He's grown to like and understand Humans, particularly Tessa Barry (though she was under Shockdrop's care at the time). In befriending the natives, Bumblebee also developed a love for human culture, be it the historical exploits of Earth's cowboys or cheesy hair-metal bands. In some ways, he considers the planet to be his adopted homeworld.
Wheelbare

After being caught in a crossfire between the Autobots and Decepticons, Tessa Barry's body was damaged beyond healing. In an attempt to save her life, Shockdrop allowed Autobot Scientists to transfer her mind into a protoform, resulting in the creation of **Wheelbare**. Now physically a Cybertronian, Tessa joins her Autobot friends in protecting the Earth and Cybertron from the tyranny of beings like Megatron and Quintessa. She continues to serve at Shockdrop's side, refusing to leave him even with a new body.

As Wheelbare, Tessa wields two small blaster pistols, modified by Windblade to do major damage to Decepticons. In addition, Tessa also wields a single energy sword given to her as a gift by Windblade. Unlike Shockdrop and Windblade, however, Tessa has chosen to use a ground-based vehicle as her alternate form. Her mind seems to have adjusted to the new body, resulting in her rarely showing any concern about her old life as a Human.
Machinations

The **Machinations**, better known as the **Machines**, are technologically advanced, mechanized creatures built by the Decepticons as part of Project Zero Hour, an operation intended to wipe out all life on Earth. They typically bear strikingly similar designs to various forms of wildlife, such as avians, ungulates, and even dinosaurs. Apparently, they were in development long before the Transformers arrived on Earth. Some of the machines were specifically designed for combat, such as the Scarab and Khopesh.

Other machines are much rarer, such as an ancient device identified as "Metal Devils."

## History

### Creation

The first machines were created on Cybertron by Shockwave under Megatron's command. They were intended to be a secret weapon for future use against the Autobots, though their existence was known only to a select few Decepticons. While many of these machines were created as domestic servants for the Decepticons, Shockwave also begun to develop machines built for combat, two of which were the Scarab and Khopesh, heavily-armed robots that could supplant entire armies, convert biomass into fuel, and replicate themselves allowing them to operate indefinitely.

### Project Zero Hour

After Optimus Prime was defeated and forcing the Autobots off Earth, Megatron activated "Project Zero Hour." Hacking into government systems, Soundwave called the machines to Earth and programmed them to begin attacking the local population. The machines replicated faster than they could be destroyed, and begun operating as a swarm. Soon, a full-fledged war between humanity and robots began, costing millions of lives (including the President) and immense destruction. Despite humanity's best efforts, the swarm could not be contained, and within three months, the entire country had been destroyed, with the remaining Humans forced underground. Megatron then authorized the construction of a program called H.A.D.E.S., which was intended to send the machines to the remaining countries as to wipe out the Humans once and for all.

### Deactivation

Despite being outnumbered, the Humans rallied behind Tessa Barry and William Lennox, both allies of the Autobots. Resistance troops begun to attack the machines across the country, even targeting Decepticon facilities that were manufacturing the machines. Eventually, the Autobots returned to Earth under a restored Optimus Prime, who engaged Megatron in battle. Meanwhile, Shockdrop managed to defeat Shockwave and cracked the encryption codes to shut down the machines. Megatron was severely injured after Tessa shot him with a powerful Cybertronian weapon, but was then taken away by Starscream as the Decepticons abandoned Earth. H.A.D.E.S. was shut down simultaneously by a joint Autobot/EDC assault led by Tessa, thus stopping the Apocalypse.
Elite Skystrikers

After the Decepticons were crippled at the Battle of Autobot City, Shockdrop formed a faction of Autobots known as the **Elite Skystrikers**. Many of the Autobots who joined the Skystrikers were the most elite warriors around. For that reason, the Guardian Knights joined with the Elite Skystrikers in their mission to protect Cybertron against all threats. Tessa Barry, Shockdrop's human friend, became an honorary member and would join them on Cybertron. While Shockdrop was their founder and thus, the Supreme Commander, the Skystrikers also answered to Autobot Leader Optimus Prime. Thus undertaking missions that would sometimes bring them back to Earth.
Soundwave

*"If there's one Decepticon you need to watch out for, it's Megatron's Communications Chief, Soundwave. He's not one to talk, but he's dangerous all the same."* —Shockdrop's description of Soundwave

No Decepticon is as loyal or dedicated to the Decepticon Cause than **Soundwave**. He is Megatron's Communications and Surveillance Chief as well as his most loyal serveant. Soundwave is cold and almost completely devoid of any emotion. He *can* speak, but chooses not to, preferring to communicate through replayed Cybertronian voice recordings, including Humans he encountered. Soundwave is very skilled in combat and will not hesitate to finish off his opponents if necessary. Soundwave and his little pet, Laserbeak, will do whatever it takes to complete their assigned mission, and neither have failed yet. Soundwave is capable of using Ground Bridges to his advantage, which has apparently become one of his most favored signature moves.

Unlike most Decepticons, who operate publicly, Soundwave prefers to operate from the shadows, attacking only when absolutely necessary. On Earth, Soundwave mainly works to monitor all Earth-based transmissions as well as to locate new sites for the Decepticons to plunder the energy required to restore Cybertron. Like his Master, Soundwave was a Gladiator in the Pits of Kaon and was the only other Cybertronian to nearly defeat Megatron. According to official Cybertronian records, Soundwave is among the most dangerous of Decepticons, closesly followed by the former Air Commander, Starscream. Though stoic and possessed of little outward personality, Soundwave is not without drives: he has worked hard to get where he is, and he guards his place in the Decepticon hierarchy fiercely. On top of hearing all in his role as Communications Officer and Decepticon spy-master, he is actually capable of "reading minds" by scanning and decoding the electrical impulses that carry "thoughts" in both organics and Cybertronians, and he will not hesitate to use what he learns as blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron's esteem. As such, Soundwave is not popular among rank-and-file Decepticons, who see him as a two-faced snake and wouldn't mind abandoning him on the battlefield... if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.

Soundwave also appears to be a tactical genius, often formulating strategies to complete whatever mission he has been assigned. He knows when the time to fight is, and when it is time to retreat. Perhaps this is what names him as being one of the most dangerous of Decepticons. That, and his fearsome combat skills that often see him standing over his enemy. Much to his amusement, big and tough Decepticons like MoltenStorm and Death Strike are actually afraid of him.
HADES

*"According to your Earth history, Hades was an ancient god of Greek mythology. He ruled the underworld, though it was implied he wasn't satisfied. But on Cybertron, HADES was an artificial intelligence, designed by Shockwave to defend our home from the threat of invasion. It became self-aware, and now it seems that HADES intends to wipe out all life on Earth, regardless of species."* —Starscream to the Autobots

**HADES** was an artificial intelligence created on Cybertron by Shockwave before the Great Wars. Originally designed to command Cybertron's defenses, HADES was to serve as an AI charged with defending the planet from invaders. When the Great Wars broke out, HADES became self-aware, deeming the Transformers a threat to its existence. It was only Outblast, a former Dimensional Guardian, who proved worthy of the knowledge HADES possessed.

On Earth, HADES found refuge in the still-functional computer core of an old FAS-BOR7 Horus deep in the jungles known as the Amazon. There it remained while communicating with Outblast, at the time tasked with observing events in the *Transformers Animated* continuity. At some point after the Autobots and Decepticons arrived on Earth, HADES sent out a signal which brought Outblast back to the mainstream universe. While it remained secret, much of Outblast's activities were carried out as part of HADES' plan to take control of Earth's machines and wipe out the Human Race.

An ability HADES possesses is "Corruption," which allows the AI to seize control over any machine it can infect, causing it to become an aggressive, killing machine. This ability can be used to control even Autobots and Decepticons, though the exact extent of this ability remains unknown.
Lockdown

**Lockdown** is known as being one of the most ruthless Bounty Hunters in Cybertronian history. He's got no real loyalty to Megatron, but the Decepticons always pay on time, better than the Autobots ever could, and allow him access to the system upgrades he craves. Lockdown has a grisly habit of collecting "trophies" from his victims for his own use. He has attached a number of parts that appear to be stolen, such as his hook, chainsaw weapons, and parts of his left leg. His collection of stolen gadgets include quick-hardening cement spray, smoke bombs, and an EMP generator stolen from the Autobot medic Ratchet.

Once Lockdown has been paid to do something, nothing short of total deactivation will stop him from accomplishing his objective. Perhaps that is the reason Starscream hired him to help track down the ancient Mini-Cons.
Autobots

*"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron, also known as... Autobots."* —Optimus Prime describes the Autobots

The **Autobots** are a group of Cybertronian freedom fighters led by Optimus Prime and (on some occasions) Bumblebee. Their primary foes are the tyrannical Decepticons.

The Autobot symbol long predated the Autobot Cause and is used to represent Cybertron across the galaxy. Eons later, when Orion Pax wanted to change society, he adopted the symbol for his movement. His movement was opposed by the Decepticons who had similar goals but different means of obtaining those goals. When the rank of Prime was given to Orion, now Optimus Prime instead of Megatron, the Decepticons waged a full-scale war on Cybertron. Given that the Autobots had several loyalists due to Optimus' new status, the Autobots fought back, each side wishing to impose their view of a just society on the planet. So many Autobots were lost in the devastating conflict. When Cybertron's Core shut down, the Autobots left to continue fighting across the galaxy.

A number of Autobots and Decepticons would soon arrive on the planet Earth, where their battles would continue. On Earth, the Autobots befriended the local Human population and discovered the presence of ancient Relics from Cybertron on the planet. The Autobots were known to use various types of weaponry in battle against the Decepticons, such as Decepticon Hunters and the Magnus Hammer. Eventually, the Autobots gained a major victory over the Decepticons at Autobot City, where Optimus overpowered Megatron and forced the Decepticons to withdraw. Sometime afterward, the Autobots assembled an elite team to protect Cybertron against Decepticon tyranny, namely the Elite Skystrikers. Almost two years later, Megatron returned to Earth and defected to the Autobots, as the Decepticons had fallen under Starscream's command.
Tessa Barry

**Tessa Barry** was a college student at MIT prior to meeting the Autobots. She exceeded many of her classes and was considered one of the "star" students at the time. She first encountered the Transformers when the Mini-Con Fireblade saved her from a black bear in the mountains. In return for his help, Tessa offered her technological skills to help him locate his companions. In doing so, she unwittingly put herself in danger when the Decepticon Slipstream arrived at her college tracking the Mini-Con. Fortunately, the Autobot Shockdrop arrived in time to chase the Decepticon off and Tessa was taken to meet Optimus Prime at the *Ark*. From there, Tessa learned about the Transformers war on Cybertron and of the danger the Decepticons posed to the Human Race. As she was rescued by Autobots, it was reasonable to believe her life wold be in grave danger. And as such, Optimus assigned Shockdrop to look after her.

After the Autobots defeated Moltenstorm and saved Earth, Tessa informed the Autobots that the United States Military had arrived to offer their assistance and support to their cause. And because of her experience with the Autobots, Tessa had been asked to become their liaison with the Human Race. Tessa has proven time and again that she is as courageous as a Prime and is as compassionate about life as all Autobots are. Since coming under Shockdrop's care, Tessa has come to view him as family and would go to great lengths to protect him, and vice versa. Surprisingly, Tessa has also forged a friendship with Windblade; a result of her courage and persistence. Tessa has proven to be a valuable ally to the Autobots, often using her technological skills to assist them in their missions and able to decrypt coded Decepticon files.

In most continuities, the main Human protagonist was almost always a male character. Taking a cue from the *Animated* continuity, Tessa was created to be the main Human female protagonist.
Elita One

**Elita One** is the female counterpart to Optimus Prime, but also his closest friend and confidant. Many describe her as a devoted Autobot, fearless in the face of the enemy, but compassionate to those who require her help. Originally, Elita One was a simple manual laborer named **Ariel** before eventually becoming a renowned Autobot Commander. One of the few things she is famous for is refusing to give information to Megatron when he interrogated her on the battlefield of Polyhex. There is a rumor that she wields a powerful special power: the ability to stop time through the creation of a field with a fifty foot radius around her. Sadly, this ability drains all of her life force and is thus almost assuredly fatal, leaving her to only use it in the most dire of situations.

Elita One never argues with her orders, especially if those orders came from Optimus Prime. While most of the Autobots departed Cybertron for Earth, Elita remained behind with a number of other female Autobots to defend Cybertron from the Decepticons whom remained behind under Shockwave's command. Elita is well respected among the Autobots, and is shown to be very capable of handling herself in the battlefield.

Elita One is among the select few Autobots who serve as part of Optimus Prime's Command structure, tasked with guiding Autobot recruits and coordinating field operations.
Outblast

*"I have been called many things. But my favorite... is an Agent of Chaos. I am a member of the Dimensional Overseers. I see and hear everything. I know what is to come, I know what happens next. There is nothing you can do that I won't see coming. I defy the laws of physics in your dimension, and in others. I know your moves before you even make them."* —Outblast

He has been known by many nicknames, but an "Agent of Chaos" is his favorite. Like all Dimension Guardians, **Outblast** had been assigned to monitor the activities of the *Robots in Disguise* timeline. Despite standard Guardian protocols, Outblast involved himself more times than was necessary, causing numerous problems and situations for the Transformers there. Eventually he grew tiresome with the responsibilities of a Dimension Guardian and returned to the mainstream universe, where he begun to use his abilities for combat. At some point, Outblast became one of the Dimensional Overseers, the official leaders of the Dimension Guardians. His abilities include a "gift" to see things before they happen. This allows him to know another 'Bots' moves before they even make them. Because of this, Outblast is a very dangerous opponent. He seems to possess the traits of a Decepticon, but he does not ally himself with their cause. His allegiance is to the Overseers, and to himself. Like The Agent, Outblast has his own hidden agenda...

Outblast comes equipped with the ancient 889 Gear, equipment rarely used by the Dimension Guardians. More advanced and powerful than the regular equipment, the *889* Gear forms a resilient battle armor rendering the wielder nearly impervious to harm and providing a huge advantage over his enemies, even if said enemy is a Prime. Outblast transforms into an alien-like Space Tank armed with a Cannon similar to Shockwave's AstroMag. For close quarters combat, Outblast wields the ancient Dimensional Power Sword, through which he can create portals as a means of transportation. Just like The Agent, Outblast has never revealed his past, real name, or goals. That is a mystery, and it shall always *be* a mystery. However, there are rumors going around that Outblast is working for a mysterious entity of some kind. But these rumors remain unconfirmed.

Apparently, Outblast enjoys driving other 'Bots crazy, especially when those 'Bots didn't know of his existence. Apparently, he once worked alongside Windblade during his days as a Dimension Guardian. But now she is one of his fiercest enemies, seeing her as a disgrace when she abandoned the Guardians to follow the Autobot path.

Because of his abilities, it is almost foolish to consider engaging him in battle.
World War II

**World War II** was the gigantic military conflict in 20th century Earth, in which the belligerent Axis included Nazi Germany, the Empire of Japan, Italian forces and Kalistan, with Adolf Hitler and Emperor Hirihito as prominent leaders. The war itself was two separate wars - the European war, and the Pacific war. With Japan and Nazi Germany both attempting to conquer their area of the world, both ending and starting at different times.

To counter them, the allied forces united - Great Britain (by proxy, it's colonies - such as India and the ANZACs), The USA and Canada, France (However, occupied by Nazi Germany) and the Soviet Union as the major players.

In order to win the War, both the United States, Soviet Union and the Axis worked on creating any weapon imaginable, involving atom-bombs, genetic experiments and "super-soldiers": men enhanced by scientific treatments to the peak of human ability.

The Allies won in the end, through an imminent invasion of Japan and two atom bombs. Victory, though, only led to further conflict - The Cold War.

## History

Numerous Transformers, most commonly Autobots, were active in World War II on the Allied side, though history remembers none of it. One Autobot disguised itself as a Supermarine Spitfire plane to defend Britain. In one mission, Bumblebee and Rodimus sneaked a squad of British soldiers into a German-occupied building for a successful attack, which resulted in the assassination of Adolf Hitler. However, Adolf still died by his own hand - using a cyanide pill after his wounds. According to Jaegertron, Bumblebee also helped wipe out a village full of Axis-aligned civilians. Quite ruthless for an Autobot, apparently.

Apparently, Shockdrop was apparently reported as seen by Sir Edmund Burton helping the Allied forces take out a production facility in Northern Europe.

Bumblebee apparently remembers fighting in the Humans' War, but he prefers not to think about it. Shockdrop, on the other hand, doesn't seem to remember any alleged involvement in World War II. German records imply that Decepticons like Slipstream and Laserbeak had fought for the Axis forces in one unspecified battle, with the Soviets seemingly having support from Minervix before joining the allied forces.

Another rumour states that Outblast served as an advisor for the Axis forces before he was assigned to observe one of the *Transformers Animated* timestreams.
Dimensional Power Sword

The **Dimensional Power Sword** was an ancient weapon developed for use by the Dimension Guardians long before they appeared on Cybertron. The sword is capable of erasing entire species from existence, including entire planets. This was one of the reasons why the weapon was banished by the Dimensional Council following an incident that resulted in the obliteration of Nexus V and its inhabitants. At some point, Outblast tracked down the weapon and stole it for his own use. One of the sword's abilities include opening rifts in time and space, allowing the wielder to jump between dimensions or worlds.
William Lennox

**William Lennox** is a member of the United States Army Rangers, previously serving as a Colonel when first meeting the Autobots. Lennox became a close friend to the Autobots and often led his men in battle against the Decepticons, as well as having a friendly relationship with Tessa Barry, the first Human to have contact with the Transformers.

Lennox later became a Captain, and eventually Major of the Non-Biological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty (NEST). A young, yet capable officer, Lennox has the friendship and trust of the men under his command.

He has a wife and a daughter back home.
Cyclonus

"All Hail Galvatron!"

Cyclonus after a near fatal accident regarding the fire dimension

Idiot (Mesothulas)

Conjux Endura (Seraphicus)

Among the Star-Seekers, finding a genuinely loyal and competent Second-in-Command is a near impossibility. **Cyclonus** is the exception to that fact. Cyclonus' loyalty to Galvatron and the Star Seeker Cause is so intense that it excludes most other emotions and interests from his mind. As far as most Star-seekers know, Cyclonus is entirely dedicated to destruction in his Leader's name. He has brains to back up that dedication, power to enforce Galvatron's rule, and the initiative to form plans and get them done. As Seraphicus has noted, Cyclonus could easily rule the Decepticons himself if he so desired, either as a power behind the throne or directly overthrowing his power craving master.

Mesothulas does not seem to like his presence so much, simply referring to Cyclonus as a suck up to Galvatron. Others find themselves amazed that he's so loyal when one considers that he alternates with Shockdrop as Galvatron's personal punching bag.
Talisman

The **Talisman** is an object created by the Guardian Knights, for the purpose of seeking out a being worthy enough to be deemed a Knight and aid in the battle against Quintessa. It has some degree of sentience, as it is able to alter its shape and even become mobile if that is necessary to fulfill its purpose.

According to the prophecy, the Talisman appearing is the first sign of the apocalypse, signalling the end of times. Some 'Bots would consider it wise to stay as far away from it as possible.

## History

Long ago, the Talisman had arrived on Earth, taking the form of a Sword that would become lodged in a stone. During the Medieval Times, the Talisman would come into the possession of the Human who would become King Arthur, and come to be known as Excalibur. After Arthur's death, the Knights took possession of the object and kept it with them for the next 20,000 years.
Dark Spark

The **Dark Spark** is an ancient dark relic that was said to be the equal but opposite force to the Matrix of Leadership. Whilst the Matrix granted wisdom, its antithesis allowed its wielder to bend the fabric of the universe and its inhabitants to his will. Possessing some similarity to Dark Energon, it can reanimate the dead, granting its owner command over them. Apparently, it can also travel between dimensions. Originally, the Dark Spark was wielded by Galvatron against the Autobots in the *Generation One* dimension before ultimately being cast into space.

Eventually the Dark Spark arrived in the *Robot Defenders* dimension, where it was discovered by Decepticon forces. Megatron saw an opportunity to even the odds against the Autobots and took possession of the relic. This allowed Megatron to match Optimus Prime evenly and in a way seemed to confirm Megatron's role as Leader of the Decepticons further.
Demicons

*"A new force of Decepticons devoted entirely to you, Air Commander... the Demicons, born from the ashes of fallen Infernocons. These are your minions. Your weapon against your enemies."* —Quintessa

The **Demicons** are a breed of specially designed Decepticon soldiers created by Quintessa using the remains of deceased Infernocons. They serve the former Air Commander Starscream. They hold no allegiance to either Autobot or Decepticon, instead joining Starscream in his War against both sides. Regardless, they will follow Quintessa's commands as well.

Known Demicons include:

* Nightstalker
* Skullcracker
* Demitrius
* Poundfront
* Downtrack
Decepticons

*"The name was meant to demonize us, instead we took it as a badge of honor. For if speaking the truth alone is deception... then we are gladly guilty!"* —Megatron's description of the Decepticons

The **Decepticons** are a group of Cybertronian warriors whose original goal was to get rid of the Caste system on Cybertron and return to the empire-building, space faring ways of their ancestors. Originally, they were commanded by Megatron.

The name "Decepticon" came from pre-war propaganda by the High Council that labelled them as liars and thieves. Instead, they took the name as a badge of honor. In their minds, they'd be gladly guilty for speaking truth (which others viewed as deception). In the Great War, they were opposed by the Autobots. Occasionally, both sides would put aside their differences for mutual threats only to resume fighting later on, such as when they joined forces to thwart Megatronus' scheme to destroy Earth and Cybertron. On Earth, the Decepticons suffered a brutal defeat when Megatron was defeated by Optimus at Autobot City, later enabling Starscream to dethrone Megatron and force him into exile. During this time, the Decepticons fell under Starscream's command and continued the War against the Autobots. While most Decepticons were loyal to their new master, other Decepticons such as Soundwave and Slipstream refused to follow him. When Megatron resurfaced in Autobot custody, orders were sent out to his loyalists to stand down and give up on a "flawed philosophy." With Megatron's declaration that the Decepticons were over, those who defied Megatron's final commands would become Starscream's Legion, consisting of those who refused to stop being Decepticons.
Hot Rod

Contrary to what many 'Bots may think about him, **Hot Rod** is by no means a "punk." While he may appear to be just some turbo-revving young punk, you can't find an Autobot more daring or brave as Hot Rod. Sure, he might be no Prime, but he certainly has the courage of one. Perhaps that is why he was put in charge of Team Brash, nicknamed for their reputation of jumping into danger without giving it much thought. Years of studying in the Elite Guard taught him almost every form of hand-to-hand combat and all forms of Autobot weaponry. Some Autobots later begun to call him **Rodimus**, leading him to eventually embrace the given name.

Hot Rod is among the few Autobots to be part of Optimus Prime's Command structure, where he met a couple other Autobots as courageous as him. Hot Rod does not like to see fellow Autobots being picked on, and he would just as fast jump into a fight against Megatron to protect them.
Walter Legume

**Walter Scott LeGume** (born December 5, 1956) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 74th Governor of Maine from 2011 until his defeat by Claudia Patton in 2015.

LeGume also the 22nd Administrator of the Small Business Administration, a post he held under the Owen K. Shrub Administration.

LeGume currently sits on the board of Exxon.
Guardian Knights

*"The Knights of Iacon are ancient. Among the most elite of Cybertronians, their warriors are not unlike those of your own from the... Medieval Ages? But that's all I can tell you."* —Shockdrop

The **Guardian Knights**, sometimes referred to as the **Knights of Iacon**, are twelve elite warriors who were created by Quintessa to serve as her bodyguards. However, they eventually discovered her sinister motives and rebelled against her, stealing her staff and taking it to Earth where it came into the possession of a Human.

They can combine to form Dragonstorm, a mighty fire-breathing dragon.

The Knights include:

* Stormreign
* Skullitron
* Dragonicus
* Steelbane
* Shockdrop

Very few Autobots know much about them, though some of the Autobots describe them as being similar to the Human warriors from the Medieval times. Shockdrop later revealed that he was once a Guardian Knight himself, but he chose to follow his own path and fight alongside the Autobots.
Infernocus

When confronted by a threat to Quintessa too powerful for the demonic Infernocons to handle individually, they combine to take the form of the perfervid **Infernocus**.

Sometimes, he is composed of five *distinct* Infernocons: Skulk, Rupture, Thrash, Gorge and Glug; otherwise, he is composed of six *identical* Infernocons.
