Twinsteel (Operation: Realignment)

Twinsteel comes from a offshoot of the IDW (2005) Timeline

## History

### Pre-Axiom activity

A Autobot hailing from Iacon, he had joined the war early on, quickly making a name for himself for the feats he had been able to pull off due to his passive abilities. Sometime after the end of the war, he would be sent to the Noisemaze-a abnormal section of deep space-to investigate rumors of a artifact of the Primes being located in the area.

Upon arrival, he had linked up with Overhang, the only survivor of the outlier squad that had been sent to assit him, Highwire, a new Autobot recruit stuck in a situation way out of his leauge, Skipper, a Savvy lone wolf member of the Star Seekers sepreated from her group, Voidsaw, a convicted Decepticon that had escaped from Garrus 9, and Ajax, a clumsy civillian that had wanted to avoid the war, but had haplessly been abducted into the Noisemaze while exploring the stars. Together this makeshift group would traverse the Noisemaze, eventually uncovering a plot by a Unicron Cult to utilize the Realignment Core to traverse the Multiverse to let the chaos bringer consume more worlds. After sucessfully dealing with the Cult, The group would be back on their way to Luna 2 when Twinsteel was transported to Axiom

### Intial adventures

Upon arrival, he immideiately headed towards Maccadams, eventually making his way to Metroplex city where he offered up his Combiner ability for a planned excursion to the Cybertron of the Tyran Cluster. After forming a list of volunteers for components, he joined a expedition to Garrus 9 with the Wreckers, where they unsucessfully fought Overlord and had to retreat.

### First combination and encounters with Abominus

Some time after he returned from Garrus 9, he voluneteered for a relic retrival mission alongside Optimus Prime Ratchet, Airstrike (Horizon), and Landmine, with the latter two having volunteered as components. The excursion would go south however when Shockwave and Abominus showed up while Landmine was away, but the perfect timing of the arrival of Overhang, Highwire, and Skipper would let him form Megabyte to stall Abominus for long enough, but he was unable to land lasting damage before the Decepticon combiner retreated.

After re-convening at Metroplex City, he and his squad would join Optimus, Jazz, Bumblbee, and Ratchet to rescue Landmine, but encountered resistance from both Nemesis Prime and Scourge. Eventually he would form Megabyte again when Abominus arrived, but he barely did much as Scourge swiftly eviscerated the Decepticon combiner. He disengaged and retreated shortly after.

### Metroplex VS Trypticon

Shortly after returning to Metroplex, he would join the effort to deal with Trypticon station. While the two Titans duked it out, He eventually made his way to the battlefield to cover for Optimus. He would combine once again when Bruticus showed up, managing to deal a significant blow by cutting off Blast off's combiner joint, but was ultimately forced to retreat after suffering major damage

## Notes

* He turns into a furturistic approximation of a Rosenbaur 6x6 Airport firetruck, but all instances of firefighting equipment are gone, with his trademark weapon, a long Double Bladed Axe taking up the place of the firefighting ladder
* He posesses above average Endurance and Durability
* The secret behind his combination ability is the Scramble City Combination Matrix, a experiental artifical enigma that's stored in his torso much like the way a Matrix would be
* Outside of his usual Axe and his built in blaster cannons, he has currently been exploring more weildy options for weapons , namely knives
