Author's Note: Random Transformers story I'm creating on the side, to help sate my interest in Transformers. If you want to help me create any of the bots I have in store that'd be amazing and welcome. I got plenty I'd like ideas for. :3 Just give me a holler 'bout it. You'll be credited for all that you design. Plus if you wanna help me narrow down a possible story arc (or one of them cause I might do several) that'd also be totally welcome. I love ideas. Love you guys. n_n Enjoy my drabble.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything pre-created in Transformers. The only things I 'own', which are more-so designed, is anything I've molded together. Anything anyone else makes for this story is credited to them.
A war. It was as simple as that. A destructive chaos that stretched across galaxies, ending lives like wood to fire. Creatures of all kind fell before this war's reach. All for what? To rule a dead world? To prove something? For survival? For more?
Each battle was different. Cities, colonies, worlds.. for a weapon of mass destruction, a sun harvester, a piece of an ancient artifact. For each battle.. it was concluded that the war overall was the same. They wanted something, power, control.. to be the top bot. In a world of black and white many grey areas stain the picture.
Greed burns the darkest souls while hope fuels the brightest ones. There are two well known groups in this never-ending war. The Autobots.. and the Decepticons. The humans have dubbed us 'Transformers'. In case you don't know the history of my people I'll be brief. The Autobots are heroes, dedicated to protecting and keeping peace. They are loyal, compassionate, strong-willed bots with hearts of gold. The Decepticons.. are cold, ruthless maniacs bent on slaughtering and controlling. They seek anything that allows them to have sway over others.
The Autobots first landed on Earth in search of a very powerful artifact of our people. I know this because.. I read the files. The Decepticons followed. Megatron wanted the cube to rule the universe, all that fun bag of joy.
A great battle was fought in a human city.. ending when a human boy by the name of Sam Witwicky pushed the cube into Megatron's spark to kill him. He managed just that and said creatures buried the tyrant at the bottom of one of their oceans, in hopes he'd remain there.
Two years flew by. It was all too easy for the Decepticons to track and find their leader in that time frame, to revive him. A new artifact lingered in view. The human child came into contact with a sliver of the cube, a shard, gaining history we had thought was lost. Megatron wanted the boy's mind.. and so he gave chase.
The Autobots realized too late what was going on as Megatron's true master arrived to use the Harvester. The Fallen planned to use Earth to create an army by destroying their sun. The pair were thwarted when company arrived. The Autobots successfully killed the Fallen, using a matrix from the old Primes that they had to revive Optimus, who brought victory to them. Megatron escaped though.
Peace was not granted as Megatron returned three Earth years later to collect ancient tech on the Moon from the lost Cybertronian ship the Ark. Optimus and his allies discovered the Ark after it was ransacked by the Decepticons prior. There they found Sentinel Prime and brought him back to the human military group called Nest, using the Matrix of Leadership to awaken him. Sentinel.. he used the Autobots to get his technology back and betrayed them while the human male Witwicky was also forced to reveal information to Megatron about the Autobot plans. The Autobots prepped a ship and left.. or so the humans and Decepticons thought. Another great battle was fought as Sentinel brought an army to Earth using the tech he created, which was a space bridge.. along with Cybertron itself, which hovered in their atmosphere. The pair were eventually defeated after a long and gruesome fight in which many lives were lost, like the previous battles. Everything quieted.. and the Autobots were forced to go into hiding. Five years passed.
A new threat was presented. After being ambushed the Autobots were forced to bury themselves away from humanity as the bounty hunter Lockdown searched for them under orders of 'The Creators'. With many revelations come the knowledge of how the Earth was effected 65 million years ago. Humans falsely assumed a meteor wiped out the primitive species called Dinosaurs. No, this was incorrect. Seeds were detonated on the surface, killing life on Earth, converting organic material to metal. A metallic dinosaur was discovered in modern history, by humans, of this truth.
Two Autobots were located and killed, used for.. scrap. It pains me to say the names of our fallen comrades; Ratchet and Leadfoot were among the dead at this point. A human by the name of Cade Yeager was helping to renovate an old 'theater'.. where he discovered the hiding Optimus. He brought the mech home to repair him, where the government discovered him shortly. A struggle ensued, but they managed to escape; the human Cade, his daughter Tessa, her partner Shane and a friend.. though the friend was changed to metal by a blast from Lockdown.
Going against once allies the Autobots sought after their enemies.. both human and Transformer alike. Optimus was captured.. and eventually saved by Hound. It took time, but as the humans say... 'the baddies were defeated' with the help of Dinobot prisoners aboard the legendary ship that once held knights. Throughout all this.. human technology, with study of Cybertronian, brought about human-built Transformers.. one of which is Galvatron.. or Megatron reborn. Lockdown is finally out of the picture- permanently.
Back to square one, but this time? They've got backup. That's where we come in. We're here to help.. and here we'll stay.
