And here is the newest story. You are probably curious as to the nature of the term 'reforged' in the title. Well this features a re-imagined version of the Autobots as an evolved form of transformers. In this form they are, in heart non transforming human sized robots that can scan and assimilate human DNA like TFA's sari. Their robot forms, like on the cover, are based on marvel's agent venom. But it's not transformers without transforming and so their classic transformer bodies form much like the EVO forms of the titular character of the cartoon network show 'generator Rex'. They can also archive alt forms like in the DS game of the 07 movie. Most importantly are the 2 titans in the story, the Optimus Maximus and the Negaplex. The Maximus is an Optimus coloured version of theTFW2005 custom generations fortress Maximus by G60Force and perfect effect warden with the head reworked to resemble my Optimus' head (AOE helmet and face with DOTM mask and the agent venom inspired visors on the cover) while Negaplex is the evil titan custom by KINGBOTZ.
Danny Fenton/Optimus Prime: enough dilly dally, ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 1 Optimus
The museum was in chaos. 2 smugglers and a young orphan were fighting a swarm of infected. The 2 smugglers were named Joel and Tess and were some of the people who had lived lives prior to the CBI epidemic. This epidemic turned people into creatures not unlike the formerly popular horror creatures known as zombies. The orphan was a 14 year old girl called Ellie who, for unknown reasons (See if you can guess why) was immune to CBI.
Though her 2 companions were unaware of it Tess had recently been bitten by one of the infected. She feared that her companions would 2 as the swarming infected were over them when a red a blue future vaulted through a window with a bizarre high tech machine gun (The X-18 scrapmaker from FOC) instead of an arm. He stood in front of the trio and cut down the swarm. Very soon the group were the only ones left around the room. And Joel and Tess were pointing guns at the figure.
"Hey, hey." It said and Ellie immediately noticed that it sounded young and, more interestingly, at least to her, male.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Tess said. The figure's blue armoured head started to peel off and melt into his body, revealing the human head of a black haired blue eyed 14 year old boy. A boy that didn't look to bad to Ellie.
"I am just a guy. My name is Danny but I go by Optimus in this form." Danny said.
"What do you mean, this form?" Joel asked.
"I'm not sure. Me and my adopted family were travelling to the Boston QZ when we were overwhelmed by infected. I fell backward into an electric transformer and I suddenly transformed into this robotic form and I learnt that I could switch between the 2 forms. Since then, and having learnt that not only am I immune to CBI but I don't need to eat or drink in robot mode either, I decided to help people in need. I'm not sure but I believe that I May be some kind of robotic life form and my sensors detect that you seem to be to." He said pointing at Ellie.
"Well that would make sense. It explains why you are immune, your robotic biology would be incompatible with the CBI." Tess said while Danny transformed into his human form, dressed in cargo pants, a t-shirt, a jacket and combat boots that mirrored the colour scheme of his robot mode.
"But why haven't I discovered your abilities?" Ellie asked.
"I didn't until I got electrocuted." Danny shrugged. "Anyway you already knew you were immune. Why are you guys out here?" Ellie shrugged.
"Like you said I'm immune. The fireflies thought I could be used to make a cure. They hired those 2 to get me to them at the capitol building." Ellie said. "I guess I'm not the answer after all."
"Maybe not how you thought but my, and I guess if we can activate them, your circuitry may be able to analyse and develop a cure." Danny said. "We need to get to them."
"Um. Guys. I can't swim." Ellie said as she looked at the flooded courtyard.
"It's all right, once we're clear of the hot zone I'll try to activate your powers." Danny said. "After that you can jus stay in robot mode in the water, we are fully waterproof, even in salt water, and our robot modes don't need to breath. Till then in deeper areas you can just hang on to me. This seems shallow enough to wade through."
"Okay." She replied as they started to walk through the water.
"Hey Tess, Joel. I want to just say thanks. I mean I know I'm just a job, a way to get paid but still, thanks, for all of this." She said to the 2 smugglers.
As they got nearer to the building Danny transformed back into Optimus but without his helmet. "Hey Danny?" Ellie asked. "Why do you call yourself Optimus?"
"I don't know. Part of me tries to justify it by saying that I make a bad situation a little bit more optimistic but really it's just that somewhere inside I feel like that is the name I should be going by. Like maybe it is supposed to be my name. I don't know." He replied.
"Deep." Ellie complimented as they opened the doors to see dead fireflies all about the place. "Holy s***!"
"No. No, no, no." Tess said as she started searching for a clue as to where to go next.
Curious Danny activated his visor and scanned the frantic woman. "Your infected." He said in shock.
"Yeah." She said, near tears. "Joel, please just get them to Tommy's he will know where to get them to get to the fireflies. I know that there is enough here that you should feel some obligation to me. I'm going to stall the military. So please, all of you, just do one thing for me. Go, find the fireflies, find Tommy, find someone or something and just fix this planet. Please." Tess begged.
"Okay." Danny said.
"Yeah, I promise." Ellie said, near tears herself.
"Yeah, fine, okay. I sure as hell ain't getting back into the QZ now am i?" Joel said. "Bye Tess."
And so ends another chapter of an agent 53 story. This chapter will eventually feature other Autobots and crossover characters. And as a twist Danny doesn't know who or even what he is. He won't transform until he is clearing the roadblock, though he will discover his larger form (at which point his current robot form will be renamed 'armoured mode' based on the fact that he does just look like someone in an ironman esqe armour and his larger robot mode will take the name 'robot mode') in Lincoln, probably during the school fight. He will learn of his true identity as Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots when we meet the Autobots at the Optimus Maximus.
See you next chapter.
