Greetings. My name, for the purposes of this story, is Dracofireninja. You are about to enter a world of my own creation. Most, if not all, of the characters in this world are inspired by previous incarnations of themselves.

TRANSFORMERS STARFALL

More Than Meets the Eyes

We are not like most races. We are inorganic, for one thing, and we also have a unique ability. We are the Cybertronians, and we are at war. Nobody knows why, and nobody remembers when it began. All we know is that we were made on the planet Cybertron, by complex machinery, and that we must stop the Decepticons.

The war was waged entirely on Cybertron, at first, each side's forces increasing each day. Then, the Generators failed. The planet Cybertron became dormant, and began to fall apart under the strain of having a fully-fledged war fought on its surface, and spreading to its interior. Eventually, we had to leave the planet. The war continued for centuries, and I, Optimus Prime, eventually received the role of the Autobot leader. We traveled from planet to planet, stellar system to stellar system. Eventually, I began to wonder, why bother? Our home was no more, our forces were depleting, and we had no real reason to continue fighting. That was when we found the city.

We had arrived on a new planet, different from all the others. It was not a barren, rocky wasteland, or an icy desert, but a rich, green world, teeming with something we had never encountered in such complexity before: Life. Eventually, our scouts found a portion of forest that had been cleared away, with buildings in its place. We found the remnants of a civilization, which seemed to have been primitive, and had been dead for years, around the time that the Decepticons had arrived on the planet. Then, we knew what we were fighting for. Surely, this one planet was not the only one with intelligent life. Surely, there were other civilizations that needed protection. We were too late for that world, but not for this one.

The original concept of Transformers is the idea of Hasbro and associates. The original versions of all characters in this story that were not created by the writer are also their property. The story, however, and the interpretations of the characters in it, are mine. I hope you like it. Please Review.
