TransWarp: Csirac OverviewThe Pitch:Csirac finds himself at the mercy of the Predacons - kidnapped to serve their efforts in winning the War and claiming Cybertron for their own. Can he find a way to thwart them from within? Can he overcome tragedy and find peace, not only for himself, but also for Cybertron?Background:Csirac is one of the new breed of Autobot - a Maximal.He is currently working on a technology that is hoped will bring an end to the War - TransWarp Technology, the ability to traverse Time itself.Considered the ultimate deterrent by those striving to master the technology, it's hoped that it will leave the Predacon Leader, Razorclaw, with no
TransWarp: Ravage OverviewThe Pitch:Ravage find himself without a leader, without a faction, and without purpose. The Autobots have offered him a future, but the Predacons have other designs for him. Will the master of stealth be able to weave his way through the blaster fire to secure himself freedom at the end of the Great War?Background:Ravage is... a killer, a spy, and a good 'bot to have on your side. Even the Autobots have realised this. After the death of Megatron and the Decepticon faction becoming defunct, where does Ravage stand in this seemingly alien conflict?The Autobots offer him the opportunity to enact some justice on Razorclaw and his Predacon
TransWarp: Primal OverviewThe Pitch:The Maximal Air Defense Wing, or MAD Wing, find themselves with a new recruit, and possibly a one-way mission. Can they keep the enemy Predacon fighters off the tail of the TransWarp Test Ship Xelor long enough for it to carry out the first successful TransWarp test?Background:I've always held the belief that a huge step forward in technological advancement was the catalyst for the end of the Great War. Not Proto-Matter technology, but the ability to traverse time - TransWarp Technology.With the threat of Temporal Annihilation hanging over an enemy's head, they'd be insane to keep fighting. Right?So with the Predacon force

After fighting for so long, I thought I'd seen everything; that the Universe could no longer surprise me with what obstacles it would throw at us next.I was wrong.Jhiaxus, one of a number who left Cybertron an age ago, returned with an army to claim the planet, or destroy it, and us, in the process.We Autobots battled against them, but soon realised that the Cybertronian Empire presented a greater threat than any one faction could handle.An Alliance was formed.Enemies now became allies, as the Autobots and De

Transformers: Burgeoning DarknessBurgeoning DarknessOne-Shot ComicBackground Notes:Events take place not long after the events in Simon Furman's Alignment story, with an Autobot-Decepticon Alliance destroying The Hub, the Cybertronian Empire and the Liege Maximo.Previous to this, a Cybertronian Empire Scout ship, looking for planets to techno-form and add to the Hub, was hit by an asteroid. It was rescued by an Alien (whose planet was destroyed by the Cyb. Emp. and has vowed vengeance) who is building an enormous Space Station/Weapon to combat the Empire. Long story short, Unicron's essence takes over the Station and reformats the Cyb. Emp. prisoners, but they escape

A fable, fallacy, forgery or fiction - The distorting of truth.Humans had many words for their favoured pastime but one stood out for me above all others.Con.There was something very familiar about it.Deceit was the basis on which the Decepticons were founded. It's in our nature to bend the truth to our own ends, and break it all together when necessary. However, some truths cannot be broken; their repercussions inescapable.Megatron is dead.And with him die too the Decepticons.Many thought it an impossibility.
