Chapter 13

Universe 14, Earth year 2006

It was now over 20 years ago that the Autobots had landed on the planet Earth to „defend" it from the Decepticons.

In this time they had rooted their influence deep into the heart of this world. The strategy they had tested out on many other worlds came here to it´s full success. Alone in the first two years they had come remarkable far.

The planet Earth was turned in the battleground of their war against the Decepticons and the human race became their "allies" and the source of the precious energon.

It was now over 9.000.000 years ago that the revolution leader Megatron had first rebelled against the established government of Cybertron.

During the "Golden Age", the time after the expulsion of the former rulers the Quintessons a society had been formed that the robots of the warrior-line saw as unjust and oppressive and resisted it.

They started a war to bring it down without much result until Megatron arose. He was the first to successful challenge the Autobot government and nearly conquered the planet.

But then a new Autobot leader took command, one who was more powerful, more shrewd and more willing to do anything for the sake of victory than the ones before, Optimus Prime.

At this point nobody knew yet how their new commander would reform the Autobot faction.

Under heavy losses of lives and material he was able to bring the war back to a stalemate.

Already in the beginning-phase they had staged a number of attacks and made it look as if the Decepticons were responsible.

It continued in that way for millions of years until the energy resources of Cybertron itself became depleted. Then, with the search for new sources of energon, the war spread to other worlds.

One of them was Earth.

Over the years the Autobots did many things to made themselves indispensable to the humans.

Never did they find out what the Autobots were truly planning, until it was too late.

Already in the opening-phase they staged a number of attacks and made it look as if the Decepticons were responsible.

In that way they brought the human governments to agree to supply them with the resources of their planet. Ironically this forced the Decepticons to actually start fighting on the Earth with the native population in the crossfire, but this served the Autobot´s purposes quite well.

So it continued for several years.

As the level of the destruction and the death toll of the attacks, of which many were still caused by the Autobots themselves, the humans gave up more and more of their independence to their "alliance".

Under the leadership of Optimus Prime the Autobots had turned into a cruel and militaristic dictatorship that was bent on conquest and dominance and went far beyond the mere complacent corruption of the government before, but were still able and willing to hold up the guise of their more peaceful ancestors.

It was the year 2000 on Earth when they finally decided to drop the mask.

Their coup began with the systematic assassination of the most important human leaders, something that was easy from the position of trust they had manipulated themselves into.

Next they devastated a number of larger town from several nations to scare down any resistance.

With Earth, it´s people and all it´s resources now completely under their control the complete conquest of Cybertron and the annihilation of the Decepticon resistance was only a question of time.
