Wazup y'all!

So fair warning before you read, Symphony has a lot of major spoilers, including some aspects of her character that have not yet been revealed.

So if you don't like spoilers, you have been warned.

Razerhorn:

If you were to visualize Razerhorn, he should be very similar to the Insecticons from TFP and RID. He has a thin yellow visor, prongs beside his mouth, and a massive bulky body which is mostly black, purple, and yellow. When you first hear him, he sounds like the hulk, but he is somewhat smart. He would probably be around the same intelligence as Kickback, but minus the playful insanity. The reason for his third personed speech is because he has a speech impediment.

When it comes to height, he'd probably exceed the height of a normal TFP Insecticon. In jdog's words (roughly), "I want him to be a mutant compared to other Insecticons so he can be unique in comparison, basically a beast version of the already beast-formed Insecticons."

Razerhorn loves melee weaponry, he actually crafted an axe by sharpening a piece of shrapnel with his bare hands. In his words, "Guns not Razerhorn's style."

Razerhorn forms the body and head of Pestilence, normally (other than G1 Devastator) the leader of the combiner group forms the body and head, the main reason Razerhorn is the body is his sheer mass, armor, and just his scale between the other Insecticons.

When it comes to his personality… he doesn't really have one. He's very composed and unreadable to others. His perspective is very generic and not really that unique compared to others.

Probably the closest person to him would either be Ransack or Buzzkill. Ransack because they had history in the hive and Buzzkill mainly from his death (SPOILER). The reason for why he doesn't really connect with other people is mostly because people are intimidated by him, but other than the fact he's connected to the other Insecticons through the hive, he doesn't really want to get close with anyone else.

Symphony:

Symphony is my favourite OC that we have created by far. She is the most overpowered, relatable, unique character we have created thus far. Let me list off just some of her abilities… Symphony is one of the only developed Mystics we have created next to Ransack and Sharpshot. She basically is the female Insecticon version of Professor X from X-men with the hive/core being her Cerebro. Now Symphony doesn't have the ability to take over people's consciousness on cue, she is still learning how to use her powers. However, when connected to the core she was able to call thousands of Insecticons and Autobots to the core on two occasions with the first attempt being admittedly unsuccessful (Chapters 14 and 16).

Symphony does have an orbital pistol arm cannon crafted by Shockwave himself, it has the power to weaken the target's armor enough to kill even the strongest of warriors.

Symphony was created by Shockwave when he was hiding from Megatron on the moon, with the intent on recreating the original three Insecticons. Symphony and her sister Widowmaker were the most successful, however they lacked personalities and names at the time. Both their personalities were gifted to them by Primus himself.

Primus gave Symphony a caring and defensive personality, she is very similar to Shockwave, just less formal and more relatable. She is very interested in human theories and ideals, but not to the extreme that is Shockwave…

Symphony's component on Pestilence is an adornment on Pestilence's head, shoulders, and upper chest. Like a royal monarch's crown and medals when in military uniform. Fitting when you think about it considering Pestilence is Insecticon royalty.

Now Jdog and I were talking one day after Rebooting was finished and came up with something.

(DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU HAVE NOT READ CHAPTER 2 OF REWRITING CYBERTRON. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD)

…

We were talking and we realized, we totally just wrote Symphony to be a perfect female Insecticon replica of… Alpha Trion…

Symphony's reluctance to battle, her wisdom and knowledge of pretty much anything, her caring goodhearted personality and defensiveness… The list goes on.

Now if you remember the lore behind the Thirteenth Prime (Optimus), you would recall that Optimus chose to be reincarnated into Orion Pax. This led to him eventually becoming the great Prime again later.

We came up with the idea that, since Symphony was so close in relation to Alpha Trion… It would make sense that she would be a reincarnation as well.

Symphony is a reincarnation of Alpha Trion.

Now as I am writing this now we just wrote the scene where Symphony finds out about this in Chapter 2.

If you really don't like spoilers, don't read the following because I am about to say something that has not been written in the story yet even on our end.

As Optimus Prime was brought back through Orion Pax and retained his memories, I was thinking (we may not do this I don't know) that the same would happen with Symphony. Especially with receiving the gift of Alpha Trion's Quill it would make sense that at some point she would endure a transformation into her predecessor… becoming a female Insecticon version of Alpha Trion.

It's insane when you think about it. Pestilence literally has a component that is an actual Prime! Could he be more overpowered?
