Heyyyy, look at this AU I did! I watched a movie with my dad and now I had this idea. Sorry not sorry. Transformers is owned by Hasbro! Rather than Autobot/Decepticon, this is an AU where Cybertron has not had the civil war. Why am I so hyper? I'm sorry these notes make no sense.
Cybertron. A metal world, home to a race of massive, sentient robotic beings who called themselves Cybertronians. This world was divided into thirty-nine sectors, called city-states, for the most part, and functioned under their own governments.
But, as with any planet with seperate territories, alliances were formed.
The first one to form was the Iacon alliance, which was the larger of the two. It consisted of fourteen city-states, the head of which was Iacon. The others were Burthov, Simfur, Triax, Vos, Tyrest, Corumkan, Tagan, Glibax, Helex, Mebion, Uraya, Hexima, and Tyger Pax. The Iacon Alliance was a more forward-thinking, knowledge-based group of societies, and generally cared more for the arts and academics. Their economy was strong, with uses of currency, and free trade and enterprise abound in the cities. The streets were alive with the blooming culture that came with celebrating the arts, and the technological leaps that accompanied advancing academics.
Their rival, smaller but by one city-state, was the Kaon Alliance, made up of Altihex, Protihex, Dodecahex, Proximax, Hyperious, Tarn, Kalis, Thetacon, Trypticon, Nyon, Ultrix and Perihex, headed by Kaon. This group of Cybertronians could generally be described as brutish and violent. They were, as a rule, more militaristic cultures, where everyone had their assigned place in the society, and the economy was run on barter. The weakest worked as Laborers, some were even Medics, while the strongest were the Defenders. The most respected occupation, especially in Kaon itself, however, was Gladiator. Pit-fighting was the favorite sport, and a major source of interaction with other cultures.
The last recognized group, however, was the Neutral States, of which there were nine. Led by no one state, they were generally friendly with everyone, Iacon Alliance member, Kaon Alliance member, or Neutral State. Polyhex, Tesarus, Nova, Rodion, and Torus were generally city-states who were glad to trade with any others, while Axiom Nexus, Median, Captial, and Centurion were specifically designed to be neutral zones where all Cybertronians could go and appreciate some common attraction, be it shops, casinos, amusement parks, or resorts and spas. Tourism was their purpose.
This arrangement, however, left three city-states out in the cold.
The territories of J'nwan, Praxus, and Velocitron were generally considered the "anti-neutral states". While the Neutral States were friends with everyone, these three were considered friends with no one. For whatever reason, these three were often used by Iacon or Kaon Alliances as military training grounds, resulting in mass destruction of the land, and multitudes of civillian casualties. It was no secret that this angered these three states, but they were often seen by the bigger groups as no real threat.
After all, they were so small. So weak. What could they do?
