Transformers: Vengeance
Prologue:
The year is 2099, Cybertron has been at peace for many decades now; since the Defeat of the Headmasters of Planet Nebulos. In those years, Cybertron has become an important member in the peacekeeping organization known as the Universal Defense Command. Much in thanks to the efforts of the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, the Universe has become a safer place, under the protection of the planetary alliance that holds the UDC together. Defending many planets is a planet wide defense grid, developed by the UDC's top scientist Perceptor. With these in place threats such as the Decepticon energy raids and infiltrations have become a thing of the past. Indeed it is a great time of peace for all those under the protection of the UDC.
Unfortunately, those planets that have yet to be accepted into UDC membership face many hardships with nothing to protect them from the harsh reality that the Universe provides. One such planet that has been completely ignored by the UDC is a backwater desolate planet known as Charr, for the reason that its primary inhabitants are the vicious Decepticons under the tyrannical rule of their insane dictator Galvatron. Because of his actions and unreliability, the UDC made the decision to leave the Decepticons to their own means.
Over the Decades many Decepticons have done what they could to better themselves and create a true home on Charr. Creating several cities, and starting the process of Terraforming their world into something more livable. This lead to a civil war between Galvatron's force and those that allied with the rogue Nebulan, Lord Zarak; head to the mighty Decepticon Scorponok.
In the years after their first encounter during the Battle of Nebulos, Zarak quickly gained the position that Galvatron was too far gone in his madness to ever lead the Decepticons into a prosperous future, killing all those that he believe opposed him including several UDC emissaries. He seen that the only way for the Decepticons to gain any form of respect they used to have would be to show that they could create paradises just as well as they ruined them in the past. Hoping that once he gained a seat on the UDC council he could use the politics to his advantage to create his new Empire.
Galvatron continued to use the iron fisted tactics he was famous for, executing those that disagreed with him and turning their corpses into permanent additions to his throne room as reminders of those that had came before them and failed. Very few had the courage to even enter his morbid throne room of death and decay, other then those who had become known as his royal court; Cyclonus, Scourge and his Sweeps, as well as Soundwave and his cassettes.
With the might of those dubbed the Mastercons, the Decepticons that have bonded with Nebulan partners, and other renegades form Galvatron's rule such as the Constructicons, Zarak waged a cold war against Galvatron, his plans starting to come to fruition as cities began to be constructed. Taking cues form old files on the Autobots, the first two cities began construction around Trypticon and Scorponok using them as the cores, much like Autobot City on Earth had done with Metroplex.
It was on the dedication of Deceptitropolis, that the cold war turned hot. Galvatron made the first move, his rage unimaginable that an inferior creature such as Zarak could create such an achievement using Charr's resources while those under his direct rule continued to suffer in poverty. This was the battle that began the Decepticon Civil war. Galvatron and his forces decimated Deceptitropolis, nearly killing Trypticon in the process and proclaiming the city was now under his rule.
The war waged on for years, the Decepticons loyal to Galvatron making raids on Zarak's forces and energy reserves, destroying his construction sites, while Zarak's forces retaliated; taking down any of Galvatron's war parties and defending their territories as the struggled forth in their goal of a prosperous Charr.
During the War, Zarak's major victory was the creation of Nebulan City, the city built around Scorponok. It would go on to serve as his capital during the remainder of the war and serve as shining example to those that believed in him what could be done regardless Galvatron's madness and rage.
With Nebulan City now in operation, the War became fiercer, battles breaking out all across Charr, destroying much of Zarak's hard work and ambitions. Many of his forces were starting to remember how the war with the Autobots had started to destroy Cybertron and were falling to depression at though though of such an inescapable fate of destruction was their only destiny.
In the final battle of the Civil war, Galvatron lead a surprise assault on Nebulan City, seeing the only way to get at Zarak was to get to him before he could merge with his city and activate Scorponok, who's size made it difficult for even Galvatron to combat.
As their forces waged a desperate final battle outside the towering transtector, Galvatron and Zarak battled to the death. Even though he was only about half the size of the self proclaimed Emperor of Destruction, Zarak was clever and sane, as well as having the home field advantage. Using the interior of Scorponok, Zarak held his own against Galvatron, starting to even gain the Upper hand.
Unfortunately, Zarak had severally underestimated the level of intelligence of the insane dictator. Galvatron, in one of his few moments of sanity was using Zarak's perceptions against him, leading him to believe he was in a berserker rage. Zarak grew cocky of how weak Galvatron was in his insanity, coming close to land the final blow, it was Galvatron who proved the victory seeing the opening he had been waiting for and blasted the usurper at point blank range from his cannon.
With Zarak dead, Galvatron threw the remains of the Nebulan's body into the middle of the fray and demanded an end to the fighting. While still holding on to his slowly slipping sanity, He offered those that had betrayed him one chance to surrender and rejoin his reign without consequences. Those that refused died horribly. Since then there has been a fragile peace on Charr. With most of Zarak's supporters either dead or in depression no longer having the will to do anything, Charr's resurrection has been halted in tracks.
Though through the false sense of peace there is still one small faction the toil away forming plans about how to continue with Zarak's plans and bring back the respect they once held at any cost. It is this faction of Decepticons, lead by the Constructicons that will start last Great War and change the destiny of the Cybertronian race as a whole.
