Hey guys if you liked the last chapter here is another one. This time the descriptions of the Predacons and the Terrorcons and anyone else will be in one chapter. Enjoy reading about the factions and their... lovely members.
Shadowwriter01: hello again, this will be for everyone to see. This takes place a few million years before the Great War. So no Autobot or Decepticons formed yet. The events of Starscream ally, changing things mean that the Dinobots etc, cannot be created so the timeline has to alter for them to exist. And given that Primacron created the primitives it made sense for him to be the reason for the Dinobots/Predacons birth/creation.
Sorry about posting the first one twice i was a right Dinobot
Reign of Starscream: primitive calling
Chapter two:
Primitive prehistory
part two of two
Another faction took modes based on other animals from the same planet the Dinobots forms came from.
The Predacons: (in this incarnation they are much bigger than original G1, so they can take Grimlock etc on, see IDW earth versions for ideas on how they look)
They are a faction that like the others contains thousands of warriors. They take the form of savage and powerful animals. Though a bit smaller than the Dinobots (about 75%) they are nearly as powerful. They have intense ferocity and use animal instincts and savagery to achieve their goals. Their faction holds rules and codes which are similar to the Dinobots, but how they go about doing it is different. Their 'Huntmaster' created the faction to help his forces embrace their primal side. He implores them to utilise their instincts to hunt and kill those who are weak or worth a challenge. They seek opponents worthy to fight and all of the other factions are fair game in strength, skill. Depending on the personality, some respect their foes. Some find them inferior. Some just love to kill etc. They believe in survival of the fittest, it is something they embrace as their motto. If they smell you, you will probably suffer various fates. You could be stalked and feel fear till you crack, and then they kill you. You could be killed quickly, savagely, attacked and torn apart by a pack. Shot, cut by swords, etc.
some fight for glory, some for the thrill, others to face an honorable opponent. Some wish to hone their skills, and embrace the primal instinct they carried and suppressed for millions of years. (See first chapter to know primitive origins). There are 4 main pack leaders each with thousands of members. Unlike the Dinobots you do not have to prove anything, other than co-operation to the pride and faith to their beliefs.
Razorclaw:
The 'Huntmaster' of the Predacons. He has the reputation of greatest predator. He formed the Predacons, to bring out their instincts to become great hunters, and stop them from becoming 'tame'. His beast mode is the form of a large, four legged, carnivorous mammal with powerful jaws, muscles and a large mane. He carries twin cannons on his hide. His claws are incredibly sharp and resistant. They can be used with deadly effect, in beast mode he can use his powerful body to pin or pounce on enemies. Stalk and kill. Or is claws can rip through/damage metal allies and are extremely effective against enemies. As for his personality, he is consumed by the desire to hunt. He has a great patience, mostly to do with his prehistoric genetics. This patience can make him wait for mega cycles for opportunities or prey. Some could mistake this for laziness. They are often never seen again. Every thought is dedicated to the task at hand and his beliefs, beliefs of the supremacy of instinct and survival of the fittest. He revels to hunt, loves the experience of stalking, waiting for and killing his prey. It is up to him how you die and if what you are worthy for. If you are considered to be weak by him, he would kill you as quick as possible. But if you are considered a worthy opponent, he would rather face that opponent one on one.
He is a beast of honor. When he faces a worthy enemy he fights one on one, he will face the foe with honor, and would never fight dirty if the foe is proven to be honorable or a worthy adversary too him during that fight. He will 'no doubt' kill the foe, but he has to ensure their dignity before he kills them, honorable opponents only come once in a while. His most honorable foe is Grimlock and he seeks to face him in honorable battle that WILL ensure one of them dies.
Rampage:
he also becomes a four legged mammal, with powerful jaws. His muscle power is based more in speed than strength. It also gives him great agility, and the power to jump over 500 feet. His pouncing abilities make him fast and deadly, once he has pounced on you might have 30 Klik's to live before you're torn apart. He is next in line to Razorclaw's title. But he is quite different to him; for starters he has less control than him. He desires the hunt more as he embraces primal instinct and uses it in devastating fury. Combined with his power and speed he can kill many a foe. He prefers not to talk too much as his instincts do take over and force him to lash out at anything or anyone. He does share the hunting skills of Razorclaw, but not the patience. This can hamper in a hunt that involves patience or stalking. Though when he leads he can use his skills to devastating effect, he knows how best to destroy his enemies with his forces. Razorclaw respects his abilities, but know his weaknesses.
Some of his weaknesses include the fact that if say a Dinobot was tracking him, his rages do leave an obvious trail. Though he can be kept quiet with say talking about past or future kills, or showing him kills or plans on monitors. He becomes quiet when watching say one of his kills. Though when he realises this he would fight and could kill you for control of the video net. He also disrespects and challenges Razorclaw a lot of the time physically. This is due to his rages and the fact he assumes his way is better and Razorclaws' patience makes him weak. He is one of the only Predacon with the strength, will and knowledge to do so. Many fights have happened over the last few thousand years.
Divebomb: Divebomb does not enjoy his fellow Predacons Company. He tolerates their presence at best. His form is a feathered avian animal, with a large beak and killer talons. His flying skills are only matched by his nemesis, Swoop of the Dinobots. He has an intense rivalry and always tries to out fly and use his aerial combat abilities to win their never ending dogfights. Other than challenging swoop his other main entertainment is killing. In the air ground targets are heaven for him, they are like his energon. He lives on bombarding them with bombs, missiles and energy blasts. His skills only matched by his nemesis, who he also enjoys combating. He often has so many targets on the battlefield, he can barely choose where to begin he is so giddy. He is the only Predacons constantly in a good mood. Always thinking about his enemies and his ego of course like all Predacons is planet sized. He sometimes however when not fighting prefers to be alone in the highest points (e.g. cliffs, high mountains) to build homes there, mostly due to him not enjoying his fellows company, and his primal instincts, (bird nests). Tired of being around angry rampage? Well here's a guy always with a smile on his face.
Tantrum:
He is similar to Rampage in that he has no patience. His form is a bulky, powerful ramming beast with a pair of sharp horns and a hard, resilient head. He can break through a ton of rock a full charge. He suffers from a mental condition for mindless destruction. One cycle he would be calm and collected, the next he will enter a fit that causes him to destroy any enemy or object he sees. He will recover once he is dead, unconscious or killed everyone. He will start another any time he goes outside his base of operations or the battlefield.
His robot mode carries a devastating gun (weird considering Razorclaw would be more fitting, but I guess that's unsporting or something). The weapon is the 'Catalytic carbine', this weapon hi the ability to convert cybermatter into various isotopes, destroying an enemy agonisingly. Like all Predacons he carries an electro-sword to do intense damage to an enemy.
Headstrong:
His beast form is a heavily armoured, his form has a huge thick horn on its snout which tantrums abilities allow him to secret acid from it, which he is unaffected by. His horn can puncture five feet of steel. His head is near unbreakable and resistant to nearly all impacts. His personality means that he must always prove others that he is unbeatable and can overcome any challenge. Much to his teammate's enjoyment when they trick him into ramming things that will eventually wound him, still he doesn't care. Or you could try and convince him that doing something was dangerous and he would think it a trick and do it anyway. He is very tenacious and lacks any courage or intelligence. His processing abilities stated at the start about make up his mind frame. He fires plasma spheres which explode on impact. He may be a bit tenacious but somehow his abilities and power keep him alive, somehow.
He Predacons are feared by many except the Dinobots and the other main faction. Their sills make them efficient killers and a match for any foe. Though they are all different they all seek the hunt, and that makes them strong.
The final main faction is known as-
The Terrorcons:
The Terrorcons are the most strange and peculiar factions, lacking in honor/desire to be great warriors. Their personalities are not what you would find in Grimlock or Razorclaw, but rather in an insane asylum in a zoo. They are not really intelligent compared to say the Predacons. All Terrorcons have personality problems, whether a commander or not. One of the main things noted by the other factions is that the Terrorcons are extremely indecent. Individually a Terrorcon is not very intelligent. Their beliefs are based more on instincts and the realisation of what they are... Animals, they are violent killers with a passion for even more killing. They kill for sport, the thrill and because they can. Also to eat their victims, as they can process forms of matter into sustenance, therefore they can survive longer than other factions, who require energy or need to eat enemies to refuel. An enemy could outsmart a lone beast easily, due to their pure instincts and psychotic desires driving them, making them easy to trick, out manoeuvre etc.
though depending on the creatures beast mode or battle capabilities you could stand a chance or be consumed. Terrorcons as a group are a terrifying sight to behold, installing fear into weaker enemies. As a group they will overwhelm you in mere kliks. They are not soldiers or warriors or Honorable fighters, they are animals killing hundreds for their own psychopathic reasons. Their forces show no mercy, you will die a painful death and they will laugh while doing it. If you are lucky you will die before they consume your body. Their insanity knows no bounds. They are lead by five of the most terrifying, chaotic creatures to crawl from the Oracle's aft, the 'Terrormasters'. They each lead thousands into battle. They are controlled by one who leads them all with their goals. He controls who they destroy and when. The other psycho leaders lead their forces in their own way, but they all share the same ambitions.
They fight with no one and a motto you could give their faction would be 'Terrorcons fight everybody' as they literally do.
Hun-Grr: He is the Lord of all Terrorcons. He is the most intelligent and strategic of the bunch. Though his personal desires often get in the way of this. His beast mode is a large two headed reptile. He is a terrible glutton. He constantly needs to feed on energy and materials. He does not need too much to live on but he simply cannot stop. His other desire is wanton destruction and the slaughter of enemies. This is one of the only times he doesn't feed. He created the faction based on his own ideas of wanton destruction and food. This is spread to his forces. He is quite intelligent when it comes to killing, about as close to a strategist as a bunch of psycho's can get. Though it is hard to, bark orders when your mouth is full. When on the battlefield, he knows how best to kill a force, using his desires as motivation. On the battle field he will feed from carcasses of the fallen. He respects his 'terrormasters' for following him and his ways. And appreciates their ferocity, power etc.
Sinnertwin: He takes the form of a large, powerful and strong, horned, two headed reptile. His heads are perfectly designed to slaughter his enemies. His personality is mostly sadistic. He takes immense pleasure in watching the pain suffering and death of his enemies. The sheer sight of his slaughter is terrifying and disgusting to behold. He exists to tear creature apart and s do his troops who are rallied by the sheer force. One major weakness, comes when he faces an enemy one on one, when he has plenty to choose from he is in his element. However when he is facing one enemy in battle, if the enemy is not terrified then he would perhaps lose his main advantage to kill the bot/con. He also in beast mode sometimes suffers from a split personality, where if he faces an enemy he will argue with himself over which head he will use to devour the subject. It is unclear whether he has dual personalities or what, but both heads are psychotic killers, so much so they argue with each other. Either way you probably dead, unless perhaps you are perhaps Grimlock and his knights for example then it is a fair fight. Something Sinnertwin find annoying. A major weakness is the fact that for a huge minster, he is terrified of small creatures, organic or technological.
Rippersnapper:
He has a beast mode that is some form of bipedal, large clawed reptile, with a shark like tail and head. His claws are well designed for tearing into enemies. His teeth can rip and he can snap his enemies, hence his name probably. A for his personality, well at least with the others they like you because you are killable. With Rippersnapper he has a superiority complex, and a moon sized one at that. He enforces his superiority on anyone around him, animals, organic and technological especially. The other factions as well he hates with a passion. He enjoys enforcing his ego on his enemies and his friends, who often become sick of it but enjoy the way he utilizes it in battle. It is speculated by some allies and enemies that his superiority complex is used to hide the fact that he finds things in himself inferior. He would silence many of them if they came to him with this. He hates carbon based life forms, their weaknesses, their smell, their lack of everything that makes a Terrorcon. Though some of the organics/technological life forms weaknesses are reflected at him, he hates them because he is like the, especially his beast form which is based on organic like forms. So he hides behind his desire to kill and created an ego that he believes. So he still hates all other forms of life, and partly himself, but he will punish others to take out his pain, and hide behind an ego to hide his 'weaknesses'.
Cutthroat:
He takes the form of a winged reptile, similar to Swoop but with actual legs so he can stand upright. The form is also far more animal based than Swoop's. His main form of disarming an enemy is swooping down at them and knocking/pinning them down. Then he would use his beak to stab, peck and devour their face, spark, T-cog or other vulnerable parts. His claws can tear into enemies with ease. His personality is one of the worst of the cons. He has no mercy for those he shreds, and has no personal weaknesses to exploit except perhaps his eagerness, which could lead him into a trap. In beast and robot form he will kill enemies with a bloodthirsty zeal. He even surprises his forces and teammates with this. Some also fear hi in case they upset him. Another weakness is that he consumes energy a lot in his frenzies weakening him he more he does it. No one would tell him this, not even Hun-Grr who even he is wary of his wrath. He respects those who tear into enemies and savage them; those such as Sinnertwin/Rippersnapper or anyone in his forces, even partly his enemies, those like the Predacons, or Slag and Grimlock. He doesn't really enjoy the company of 'tame' cons/bots.
Blot:
Blot is least liked by anyone on his team, his forces or his enemies. Not due to the way he fights or the way he utilizes the Terrorcons ways, but something much more degrading. His beast form is that of a bipedal monster. With powerful legs (the same as robot mode), His large bulky chest and arms remain the same. But a beast like head converts over/around/into his beast head. His head is some form of cross with a lizard, big cat, beast, robot thing. He carries an, acid cannon on his back in beast mode, the perfect corrosive formula for killing enemies. He is brute force in both modes as well, though his intelligence is somewhat lacking. His personality plays the dumb brute, he uses brute force to gain respect and destroy enemies. He is slow witted and therefore cannot tell if respect is being faked. If someone at least pretends he is worth something he will serve, ally with or fight for them. Hun-Grr is the only one who shows him absolute respect, most likely due to his beliefs in the Terrorcon ways and the brute force his modes apply. Other Terrorcons no matter their position mock or insult him for his intelligence and his...other problem.
Blot has a condition, one that makes his forces and his fellow masters, dislike and stay as far as they can from him without being unable to listen to him etc. He unfortunately has the tragic and constant ability of oozing fluids from his joints/body. These fluids repulsive enough as they are also smell of the vilest smell to hit an olfactory sensor. The smell and the stuff he released cause allies and enemies to be repulsed. They try to stay far away as possible from him even in battle when he tries to command his forces they stay feet away from him. His enemies also think twice about attacking him, one of the few good things about it. It means he has the chance to kill them. He is given many insult by allies and enemies on is intelligence and disgusting aroma. The poor guy now, unlike Rippersnapper, has an inferiority complex. He is often upset with is uncontrollable hygiene problems, and his slow processing power, he cannot solve his stench by any means. And he is unable to talk back to those who scorn and mock him.
He does however command some levels of respect, whether faked he cannot tell. His forces admire his ability to kill enemies brutally like he does, despite his problems. And he enforces respect on all, and with that strength and that stench who, wouldn't at least follow him? Even if they don't like him. His fellow masters tolerate him enough, though they do hate his stench and still do mock him. They respect his ability to kill and how his 'intelligence' allows him to do so, so well.
Other factions do exist but they are not really at war rather formed when the war began in order to counter it, protest against it. Or other.
the known major ones are the:
The Primitives:
though they are indeed primitives like the other factions, the name was chose to represent the fact that they have no allegiance and try to continue how their lives were before the war. They are scorned, mocked and hated by the Predacons and Terrorcons. They see them as idiots who will not change with the times and prey for them as they should accept their ways or die out. Survival of the fittest as Razorclaw puts it is his justification, if they can't embrace their way they are doomed, and even then the Predacons would prey on them anyway. The Terrorcons simply desire to destroy things especially the weak and feeble, they take special enjoyment watching the 'primitives' die before them. They are a constant supply of fresh food for them.
The Dinobots do not care for them, they think the Dino mode primitives should join them, but do not enforce it. They want them to join willingly otherwise their desire, to protect one another and be stronger will not be shared by them.
However when the primitives are attacked. Grimlock who at least pities the weaklings when, those with power and strength tear them apart. Sends forces commanded by at least one of his knights to defend them. Tough it depends on eh value of the city they live, how many there are and if the enemy is worth crushing.
They primitives try to conserve energy, continue to build cities and request anyone who desires to be not part of the war to join them. They live in the small amount of cities not conquered or controlled by the factions. Though they all far every faction, and fear death by them. They will not attempt to join a faction unless one proves they are worth fighting with. Mostly this occurs when a battle ends in a city. This is also partly why the Dinobots fight for them.
Minicons/casseticons or bots:
they are a separate unnamed faction. They work in hives away from the others. They do not desire to join the others and would rather be with their own kind. Their tasks often involve scouting, scavenging for parts and energy, Stealing from other factions, spying on enemies (mostly with cassette/spy troops). They work as one unit, with a few in commands taking recommendations of others and deciding what best to do. They will sometimes form an army and attack small patrols of enemy factions. Nearby their numbers and overall varieties of weapons such as sonic blasts, lasers, pile drivers, strength melee weapons, teeth, claws. Some however do defect to a side and work for them to gain energon for their hives. Tasks like spying, bombing and assassinating can be carried out. They are more concerned with surviving the war rather than fighting one or joining the 'Primitive faction'.
The factions have been doing this for thousands of years, battle after battle. Conquest, energy stealing. Whatever they can to survive and enforce their ways. A few solar cycles form now another such battle would take place.
The carnage that will ensue will be enormous. And felt by everyone.
Hey Transfans i hope you know know each of the character and the factions purposes. the Primitives and Minicons will have minor roles but will be used as story elements most of the time.
If you want me to put in a 'primitive' minicons e.g. Slugfest/Overkill etc. Then i will oblige just don't expect too much of them, i'm trying to sculpt stories for you guys but this s a fan fiction bot a fan service you get what i mean?
Anyway the next chapter will be the first battle, filled with killings and fights and a few main characters. The battle will consume the entire chapter. I hope you enjoyed this one. Further explanations or back stories will now be in the story rather than have their own were just back stories so you don't have to ask me about the past rather the present and future of this stories timeline. I hope you enjoy the next chapter, Review and ask what you wish i'm happy to answer.
Till all are One
