If you have your rp blog listed in your description or just let me know your rp blog is a sideblog that’s good enough for me! i won’t block you for having a side blog, sometimes it just be that way yo. however if you’re just a regular personal blog with no rp bl. RULE ONE . PERSONALS !i do NOT rp with personals. any personal who follows me will be soft blocked IMMEDIATELY. with certain exceptions (see above). if you are a personal blog and you reblog one of my rps i ask that you delete it from your blog AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. it’s seen as rude to reblog a roleplayer’s thread and can cause confusion in the notes.. RULE TWO . SELECTIVE !my blog is independent, i’ll mostly rp with Transformers muses, and it doesn’t matter whether or not you can match my reply length, as long as you give me enough to work with, it’ll be fine. grammar, punctuation and spelling doesn’t matter to me, but at least keep it coherent y'know? though if my grammar/punctuation/spelling is wrong please let me know, i don’t tend to proof my replies and i type very fast so typos and grammatical errors are bound to happen.i am selective so i’m pretty picky with who i follow. but i follow pretty much everyone so this rule is pretty void at times.i am private, meaning i only RP with mutuals. if I’m not following you then it means i probably won’t want to rp with you. but you never know, perhaps i missed your blog. don’t be afraid to message me if you want to r. RULE THREE . RPING !i usually do para or multi-para RPs. i absolutely refuse to do script RPs, but if you want to that’s totally fine, i just won’t match that style. the minimum i can write is a single paragraph (unless we’re doing one-liners because sometimes i’ll put those out). i suck at novella but i can try my best, there’s only so much i can write about before I get intimidated.my RPs are usually f2f (face to face), meaning your muse and my muse are in the same place at the same time and they’re talking. however i am open to other forms (such as texting or phone calls), you just need to let me know.if you plan on sending me a sentence starter please indicate in your ask who it is directed towards or else i will randomly choose and oc who fits the most!my replies usually fluctuate between immediate and hours/days later. i usually reply within the same day/hour of your reply or sometimes immediately because i’m!! very excited to RP with you and you have no idea how happy it makes me that you guys actually wanna RP with me holy shit. the only time i won’t reply the same day is because: i’m gone all day and couldn’t get to your reply or it’s in my queue for tomorrow.but even then, PLEASE don’t pester me about replies. if it’s been days and i haven’t replied then you can send me a message or two but a bombardment of messages makes it more likely that i would want to drop our thread.i am accepting magic anons!
. RULE FOUR . NSFW AND SHIPPING !i am multiship, however i would rather have our muses develop chemistry before diving straight into shipping. pre-established relationships are fine as long as we have discussed it before hand in DMs. if you want to ship our characters, send me an ask or DM me about it because sometimes hints in threads go over my head! and i can assure you, regardless of who your character is, i’d probably ship it or am already shipping it but don’t know how to approach you.smut is a case by case basis, this blog will be 18+ at times and i may be putting out NSFW starters or ask memes from time to time, if you wish to rp some smut please DM me and we can get something sorted out.all smut will be tagged appropriately and put under a read more.despite being a transformers blog i am notoriously terrible at writing fight scenes and would much prefer casual threads compared to combat. however if you wish to roleplay our muses fighting i would heavily prefer them to be pre-plotted in dms with a clear victor already decided before writing the thread. makes it easier on my conscience so i don’t stress out about powerplaying by accident lol.gore and violence is completely fine, if your muse is of the violent sort and wants to hit mine for any reason that’s fine, but any declarations of actual fighting needs to be ran by me first.WILL NOT DO NON-CON OR OTHER MORALLY AND ETHICALLY DUBIOUS SCENARIOS.on the topic of NSFW and shipping. please tag any NSFW and put it under a readmore. i may be 18+ but some times i don’t wanna get flashbanged by smut randomly.. RULE FIVE . OTHER RULES !i will not be tagging any spoilers. so proceed with caution as some of my RPs will involve spoiler material. i also don’t care if you don’t tag spoilers.anything that could possibly a trigger is usually tagged with ’tw ____’, but if you need something specific tagged i’ll be more than happy to tag it for you!mun is not muse! although my ocs are kind of a bit of little assholes, they are not a reflection of me as a person. either way i do not approve of any problematic behavior my muses partake in.I WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN DRAMA, i refuse to take part or take sides in any drama. so don’t come to me or make me choose sides.while i will not reblog callout posts for the sake of my own mental health (i used to be very confrontative in the past in rp communities and i really don’t want that kind of energy on my blog anymore) i will take them with consideration depending on how severe the contents are. if i do decide to spread awareness of a callout post it will be tagged under ’#callout’i’ve dealt with a lot of anon hate in my life, i will block and delete any anon hate that i get.do not like my starter call if we are not mutuals. unless stated otherwise in the tags, my starter calls are MUTUALS ONLY. so if i’m not following you i won’t rp with you. however feel free to send me a message if you wish to rp, because chances are i might have accidentally unfollowed you or never saw you pop up on my feed.non-mutuals are allowed to send asks and like posts!please do not reblog my starter calls or ooc posts. actually if anything i wrote involes ‘please like for/to ____’ don’t reblog it. it risks personals reblogging it for no reason and it makes me all antsy so i’d appreciate if you wanted to like something for your side blog that you would message me rather than reblog to your sideblog. There’s also the option of leaving a reply with your sideblog’s url! just please don’t reblog it.
please do not godmod/control my character. doing things like assuming my muse sat down in a chair if your oc sat down is fine but speaking for them or controlling their actions is a huge no.please do not metagame/assume things about my muse that your muse shouldn’t know. i tend to pad a lot of my writing with internal dialogue and purple prose, do not assume that is them telling your muse about their life story.please do not auto-hit my ocs, if your muse wants to lash out against mines and backhand them or something that’s fine but if you wish to roleplay a combat scenario please speak with me in DMs to plot it, failure to do so will result in me dropping the thread entirely, repeated offenses will result in my soft blocking you.please trim your posts! nobody likes a wall of text.PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO PLOT WITH ME ON ANON WITHOUT AN ATTACHED URL. If you send me an IC ask on anon but don’t include your URL in your ask i will delete it.DO NOT CONTINUE ASK RPS BY REBLOGGING THEM. i much prefer the cleaner look of a text post than a ask post reblog.

. wishes & dreams . a better, brighter cybertron. backstory . Once a budding doctor before the war, Vicedrive of Kaon was destined for something greater, she was sure of it. However no matter how bright her spark burned, she was led to failure wherever she went. With optics sent on attending the Iaconian Academy of Medicine, Vicedrive learned the prejudice that came from being a Spark born from the Hot Spots of Kaon. However not all was lost, her talents would soon be picked up on by a member of the Senate, who would single handedly sponsor her to attend Iacon’s Medical Academy, but there was one catch. She was to become a Mnemosurgeon.Mnemosurgery was almost taboo in a sense- while there was nothing inherited wrong with Mnemosurgery, the possibilities you could use it for was an ethical issue many Bots had a problem with. Specifically its ability to perform Shadowplay and Empurata.Shadowplay and Empurata were the mark of a political prisoner- oftentimes those found to have earned the ire of the Senate were sent to secret clinics and facilities to have one or the other performed. Shadowplay was the act of altering the processor of a Bot, whether it be wiping memories, overriding them, mind control, or straight up rendering a bot emotionless. Empurata was similar as it was the act of replacing the heads and hands of criminals with a faceless, single-optic helm and fingerless claws for hands.Vicedrive was not proud of what she had to learn. However, like many who fell for their tricks, she became indebted to the Senator and had to do what she was told, or else she herself would end up a victim of the very practices she learned to perform. Vicedrive was sent to Rodion after finishing her studies and earning her surgeon license to work in the back alley clinics of the Dead End. However this clinic had a lot more going on than what many presumed. Rodion's Dead End was ovelrooked by many, just a place were poor Transformers went to rust when they were chewed up and spit out. This blatant neglect was perfect to rebuild a new, a better, Institute. There she would perform countless Shadowplay and Empurata procedures for the Senate much to her own disgust by her own actions.When the Decepticon riots erupted in Kaon, Vicedrive dropped everything to fight in the cause. Her expertise in Cybertronian physiology and biology lead her to become a lead field medic for the Decepticon army. As time went on, however, their cause as well as their reasons to fight became twisted all the same. The very act she detested became used to torture Autobot prisoners and manipulate them for their cause. After all, it was a means to an end that she was willing to take. As the war waged on, Megatron realized the potential of Combiners in their efforts to destroy the Autobots, thus the Vicaricons were born with Vicedrive as their leader. Even medics were not immune to front lining the battlefield. Cybertron’s Energon supply wouldn’t last forever as the Autobots and Decepticon realized that their war was killing the planet. The Cybertronians eventually find their way onto Earth and continue their war there, harvesting the unique Energon deposits located on Earth. Their war boiled down to nothing more than a fight for resources at this point- but having fought alongside Megatron for so long, Vicedrive was completely devoted to the cause no matter what form it took. However, what she didn’t expect was the sudden ceasefire between both Megatron and Optimus Prime. This turn of events shocked most Decepticons- who have spent a better part of their lives fighting and torturing Autobots for their own gains. The ceasefire, of course, wasn’t taken well across many fronts, but especially the Decepticons. Their own leader had betrayed them, abandoned them to work alongside both Autobots AND humans. This was a transgression Vicedrive couldn’t forgive. She left with her team and continued doing what Decepticons did best: Terrorize the populace and cause problems on purpose. Somewhere along the way Vicedrive and her team would come into the mercy of Dr. Meridian and be forced to work with him in a shaky ‘partnership‘.

. wishes & dreams . to be able to perform again across the world. backstory . Before the war, Equalizer was a performer from Caminus. The colony planet had a flourishing art scene that she took much pride in, so much so she traveled to Cybertron to share the music and art of her people as well as witness the kind Cybertronians were capable of. She was beloved by all and knew how to charm a crowd. However despite seemingly living a perfect life of lights and glamor, Equalizer desired more. Something bigger than herself. Equalizer was an early adopter of the Decepticon movement. She wasn’t the only star on Cybertron, and she saw how the others ignored the cries of the less fortunate and turned a blind optic to the cruelty that happened in the streets. She refused to stand by and let Cons be beaten into the ground by Autobots that thought they were better.This perceived superiority is what drove Equalizer to fight for the cause, and fight hard. She was just as formidable an opponent as she was a singer. She was a favorite among Decepticon recruits, often singing during down times to keep spirits high and entertain her fellow cons between battles. Even Megatron would catch himself listening to her sing.Equalizer was one of many captured by the Autobots and interrogated for questioning. Despite all they did however, she refused to spill information about Megatron and the Decepticons. She was eventually rescued by Soundwave and returned back to Megatron mostly unharmed. Her diligence and willingness to die for their cause in captivity of the Autobots was enough to give Equalizer a higher rank within the Decepticons. However, on top of that, she was given a choice of joining the newly formed Vicaricons. While she was an excellent fighter on her own, even she couldn’t singlehandedly wipe out those Autobots for what they did to her. A Combiner was exactly the kind of power she needed for her revenge against her captors. Bonding with the Vicaricons, she learned quickly how to work as a team and became second-in-command and Vicedrive’s closest confidant.When the war changed pace towards Earth, Equalizer relished in the change of scenery and seemed to enjoy Earth’s bustling music scene- despite her distaste for humans. She was the only one among her crew who had seemed to consider the move to G.H.O.S.T, however after being reminded how the humans had mistreated their kind, she realized how futile it would be to work for humans who viewed them as lesser than them. Working for Dr. Meridian reinforced that fact even more.

. wishes & dreams . to finally accept herself. backstory . Constructed during the war, Redline was a Cold-Construct Seeker created by the Decepticons using Starscream as a base. Like many Cold Constructs, Redline never felt comfortable in her body. However, despite this, she was one of the most determined Seekers within the Decepticon army. Redline was young and wanted to prove herself since the beginning, being a Seeker, she was compared to all the rest as expendable, nothing worthwhile. However she knew in her spark that she was something more than just a tetrajet. So she pushed herself, further than any Seeker could. To fight harder, to fly faster, anything to prove that she wasn’t just lowly fodder.Redline was unique, many people picked up on it, unlike normal Seekers, she was unbonded to a Trine. Many figured it was because she was a Cold Construct- the ethical and moral dilemma of Cold Construction had always been at the back of many Con Scientists, but nobody wanted to bring it up for repercussions at Megatron’s hand. This fact was what led to most of Redline’s problems during the War. Despite her fantastic records and her dedication to the cause, the dysmorphia she felt was staggering, which lead to come into the company of the Decepticon’s head Medic, Vicedrive. Her work in Mnemosurgery and the Cybertronian Processor wasn’t exactly qualifications for a psychiatrist, but she was rather flexible with her medical license.Her time with Redline made her realize the true potential the young Seeker had, so by request she had Redline instated to the Vicaricons and retrofitted with a Combiner alt mode- while it didn’t do much to help Redline’s dysmorphia, having a new team and people to depend on was enough of a distraction for the young Seeker for now.As war waged from Cybertron to Earth, Redline learned to grow into herself, becoming less anxious and desperate to prove herself to be more vain and coy towards her fellow Decepticons. It wasn’t out of the ordinary for Seekers to be show birds- it was in their nature. But Redline took it with pride as she worked hand in hand with her Combiner team to win fights for Megatron and Decepticon cause. It was with them that she finally felt like she belonged- that she was more than just a foot soldier. However when Megatron abandoned the Decepticons to join the Autobots, she felt nothing but betrayal, sadness, anger. She was never one to properly process emotions and lashed out more than anyone.When her team was enlisted by Dr. Meridian, she was promised a new upgraded chassis in exchange for her servitude. While initially Mandroid was just going to strip her for parts entirely, he didn’t particularly want to draw the ire of her bonded team, so he did end up upholding his end of the bargain, albeit using spare parts from previous Bots and Cons he’s harvested. Regardless, Redline loved the body she was given and felt more like herself than ever- it was that act that finally pushed her out of her shell and she embraced who she was- who she should have been- a Stealth Flyer.

. wishes & dreams . to be able to pursue higher education on cybertron. backstory . Dreamwave was a One-Percenter forged during the war. She found herself amidst gunfire and explosions when her optics onlined for the first time. The first person to find her, of course, would be Megatron, who would use his charisma to recruit the newly sparked Cybertronian to join his cause. Shockwave was in charge of her orientation and it was through that orientation that Shockwave learned of her status as a One-Percenter.One-Percenters were rare Cybertronians that possessed abnormal abilities, Skywarp was another example of one. Dreamwave’s ability was Telepathy- she was mute all things considered, while possessing a vocalizer, she rarely used it and would communicate via Processor-to-Processor telepathy. It was through this that Shockwave came up with an experiment- a procedure to enhance Dreamwave for the Decepticon cause. The operation was quite simple- he would build an apparatus that would boost Dreamwave’s telepathy signals and see if he could use it to subconsciously influence Bots during recharge- ‘Dreams’, it was in her namesake- and he would use it to its full potential.The experiment was a success, as were most experiments made by Shockwave. However what he didn’t expect was the side effects Dreamwave would experience. Not only could she transmost her thoughts to others both awake and asleep- but she began to be able to hear others thoughts too. The overwhelming noise that clouded her processor became too much and the project was scrapped.Dreamwave was almost scrapped herself, but Vicedrive came in to deal with her instead. Her Mnemosurgery was perfect, being able to undo most of Shockwave’s meddling while leaving some of Dreamwave’s ability to read minds intact. She would become an invaluable asset in reconnaissance to the Decepticon cause, as well as being a recruit in the Vicaricons. Dreamwave’s jarring first moments left everlasting scars, becoming distant and aloof with most who come into contact with her. The only bots she seemed to trust were her own squad and with good reason.Despite that however, she did idolize Megatron to an extent. Despite her negative first impression at the hands of Shockwave, Megatron’s charisma still won her over. So when she learned of his betrayal, it nearly broke her. She followed wherever Vicedrive and her crew went now and refused to even look at Megatron anymore.

. wishes & dreams . to find out what really happened to her sister. backstory . Youngest of the bunch, Nightcall is the most peculiar out of the Vicaricons. Childish compared to the rest, Nightcall wouldn’t strike one as a Decepticon at first glance, but if one were to dig deeper into her history, you will realize why many Bots and Cons alike fear her.Nightcall isn’t her real designation- in fact, no one remembers what it is. She just turned up one day and offered her services to Megatron for the Decepticon cause. One would never know but even he was glad it was him she spoke too and not Optimus- only Primus knows how different the war could have turned out if she was on their side. She was a marksman, a scarily excellent one at that. Rumor says she could snipe a bot from planets away and spray their processor on the ground. Her proficiency with firearms, particularly snipers is what caused her to earn such a reputation among Cybertron, you wouldn’t even see her before you offlined. In fact, many didn’t know it was Nightcall who offlined so many Bots during the war until Optimus Prime himself witnessed the smaller Con snipe some of his best. She was known to take on Wreckers three times her size and win- all with a smile on her face and a sparkle in her optics.Nightcall was another one of Vicedrive’s patients. This time at the behest of Megatron- there was something… Eerily wrong with her. Not even the most brutal of Cons found so much revelry in the kill like she did. Was Nightcall unstable? Many were unsure. However what Vicedrive managed to deduce was that her smiles were nothing but a front. A coping mechanism perhaps? Nightcall would rather not say. But something within Vicedrive knew that this small Con was hiding mountains of grief behind an unwavering smile.Vicedrive refused to let Nightcall carry her grief alone, and offered the Con to bond with her and her team. She was initially hesitant, not wanting to expose herself so vulnerable to them. It was with good reason, it wasn’t unheard of for Cons to turn on each other. But with gentle persuasion, Nightcall eventually relented and bonded with the Vicaricons.She was still all smiles, but something about them became less uncanny, less… Terrifying, at least for her fellow Cons. To Autobots however, she was still a bump that went in the night. Nightcall didn’t take Megatron’s decision to work with Autobots very well. She was perhaps the only one to react without anger or grief. Even Dreamwave had a look of disdain when she heard the news. However Vicedrive knew better than to assume Nightcall felt nothing. She started to taunt her victims much more, getting much closer to her targets than she normally would from a sniping perch. Vicedrive knew better to intervene in Nightcall’s coping mechanisms, but even this became a bit much for her.Nightcall eventually calmed down once they began working for Dr. Meridian, however it was more so because if she didn’t keep herself in check, something bad might happen to her or her team.Her true designation is Celerity, a young Velocitronian who became enamored with the Decepticon cause through its propaganda. She had initially heard of the war on her home planet of Velocitron and was warned to avoid using the planet’s Space Bridge to intervene on Cybertron. However the young Con had always itched to be something greater than herself- she always had a sharp eye and sharper reflexes. Like many Velocitronians she was fast- and she believed she could pull a trigger faster than most. Which led her to being the last Velocitronian to leave their planet for Cybertron. She was never heard of again, at least by this designation.

Quiet and reserved, Datastream was considered a sweetheart to most of the Autobots who met her.Datastream wasn’t a fighter- even more so, she wasn’t even a native Cybertronian. She was from Velocitron, and had used the space bridge from Velocitron to Cybertron in pursuit of her sister. She joined the Autobots under a false alias and hoped through their help she could find her sister who was lost amongst the civil war happening on the planet. However despite her efforts, she ended up being caught up in the war efforts. However her work wasn’t in vain as she did manage to track down her sister who had unfortunately joined up with the Decepticons. Despite others pleading her not to, Datastream would attempt to sneak into the Decepticon-controlled Polity of Polyhex to try and track down her sister. However what ended up happening to her was more unfortunate.Datastream was reported MIA and later KIA when her body wasn’t found during the raid and subsequent massacre in Polyhex. In reality, however, she was a prisoner among the Nemesis and was currently being transported to Kaon, where she would be kept as an interrogation target. Datastream would spend the rest of the war trapped in Kaon and repeatedly tortured for information by several adversaries- chief of which was Shockwave. However the worst wasn’t even close.The Decepticon Justice Division could stop anyone’s spark be it Autobot or Decepticon. They were Megatron’s personal assassination team and never left a job unfinished. The brutality that they showed their adversaries was unmatched, even Nightcall’s relentless offlining of Autobots didn’t hold a candle to what the DJD was capable of. Tarn, their leader, was called upon by Shockwave to try and get information out of Datastream. His only rule: Do not kill her.However he could do anything else he wanted to the Bot. Days upon days of relentless torture was all Datastream knew. Hours blurred and she couldn’t even tell how long she was in that cell for. All she knew was she’d dim her optics for a moment on the concrete and next thing she knew she was violently awoken and subjected to more horrors upon Tarn’s whim. However, there was something most peculiar about Tarn. The first few days she knew nothing but violence and pain but the next Tarn would gently awake her and offer poems and philosophical debate. He would wax words of the Decepticon cause and state how he doesn’t want to do these things to her, but the very fact she was an Autobot left him no choice. It painted him less as a sociopath and more as a mech devoted to his cause- beautifully so. These mixed feelings left Datastream scared and dazed. It was a long game of manipulation that she fell for hook line and sinker- she began divulging information little by little to Tarn and came to admire him and his devotion to Megatron and the Decepticon cause. It made her feel worthless for betraying Optimus and telling him about what the Autobots had. He fed into Datastream’s doubt- all with an eloquent tongue that whispered the sweetest lies and uncertainty to her.Eventually Datastream broke entirely- voicing her own desire to be as devoted as Tarn was, to be devoted to Tarn. She wanted to join the Decepticon Justice Division. By this point she knew nothing else but Tarn, the pain he inflicted and the little solace he gave. Shockwave by this point left Datastream entirely up to Tarn’s will so it was he who controlled whether or not Datastream was given Energon or medicine for whatever wounds Tarn inflicted on her. He had accidentally turned her against herself- becoming entirely dependent on Tarn. Although not his plan, it wasn’t unwelcomed, he was benevolent in his own optics, and would take in this misguided stray and show her the will of the Decepticons.While she became a member of the DJD, going by the moniker of Polyhex (The Polity in which she was first captured in), she was more or less a mere pet for Tarn. She had learned to hunt and kill from Kaon and Vos- both of which were more than happy to take the Velocitronian under their wing- despite Kaon being the only one who could really communicate with her.Years after the war, the DJD faded mostly from memory as no one heard from them much, not even Megatron. Most assumed they either died, retired, or ended up killing each other in some way. However when word of a serial Cybertronian murderer is discovered by G.H.O.S.T, it leaves some to remember a saying during the war: Who’s afraid of the DJD?

. wishes & dreams . to return to work in praxus. backstory . Born before the war, Monsune was a Forensics Investigator from Praxus. He took his work very seriously and had seen some of the most grizzly crimes committed throughout Cybertron. So when the war broke out and he saw the blatant disregard of life that is normal amidst war, he was unphased. He had seen first hand the brutality a Cybertronian can inflict on one another, which perhaps lended to his apathy and his willingness to pick up a blaster and turn it on his fellow Bot. However Monsune didn’t expect to die for the cause- his self preservation took priority over whatever rhetoric Megatron was spewing. He ultimately made the decision to go AWOL and he fled to a small planet called ‘Earth’, inhabited by a primitive species with some underground cursory Energon veins, the planet would probably remain under the radar until the war eventually fizzled out. What Monsune didn’t expect was the Decepticons and Autobots figuring out about Earth and coming to the planet to either pillage it for its Energon or protect the populace from that fate.Monsune remained in hiding up until the destruction of the Space Bridge- realizing Optimus and Megatron had stranded all of them on the planet, Monsune began to resent his own people and what they’ve done. It didn’t help when G.H.O.S.T. began poking around his old ship where he resided and he was found out and corralled with the rest of the rogue Autobots and Decepticons at G.H.O.S.T.’s detention facility.He had grown to accept his fate of rusting there for the rest of his life, but life had mysterious ways of uplifting the downtrodden. Vicedrive and her Vicaricons broke into the detention facility and orchestrated a jailbreak and attack on G.H.O.S.T, Monsune took this distraction to flee the facility during the ensuing gunfire. He wasn’t able to make it far as he was eventually hunted down by Nightcall and Dreamwave, the two taking him back to Vicedrive for recruitment, after realizing Monsune had no desire to fight after his betrayal to the Decepticon army, Vicedrive gave him an ultimatum. Pick up arms and fight alongside the Liberation Front, or, he could be the combat trainer for Vicedrive’s sparkling and take over watching her when Vicedrive is busy. The choice was a no brainer, while he wasn’t very fond of protoforms he will take that over having to once again risk his spark for a cause he doesn’t even care much for.

A Terran born on Earth from the Emberstone, Voxel is a young Seeker who was born from the desire to cure Calypso and the connection of Vicedrive’s T-Cog in Calypso’s bracelet.Curious to a fault and rather shy, Voxel regards Vicedrive as her mother- and Calypso as her sister. The two are very protective of Voxel who is oblivious to the world around her and the struggles between Cybertronian and human relations. She enjoys flying and is a joy among the Vicaricons who vowed to make Earth a planet safe enough for her to thrive.She is tutored by both members of the Vicaricons and Monsune, a Decepticon-turned-NAIL who had previously been hiding on Earth during the war and unfortunately got caught up in the conflict when the Decepticons and Autobots arrived on the planet. He had been imprisoned at G.H.O.S.T. during one of the Cybertronian round-ups and have been growing more and more spiteful of humanity and other Cybertronians since that day. However, despite that, he had been freed during a jailbreak caused by the Vicaricons. He was offered a place of harbor if in turn he essentially trained and babysat Voxel so that she could better defend herself when they weren’t around. He easily agreed but wasn’t aware of how much work teaching a week old Protoform the art of the fight would be.Regardless, Voxel was actually quite skilled in combat and took to using Nullrays, blasters and her onset missile targeting system. She is always enthusiastic to accompany her Carrier on missions and is oftentimes found sneaking off to explore Earth or follow G.H.O.S.T operatives out of curiosity.

. wishes & dreams . to finally put an end to the differences between all autobots, decepticons and humans alike. backstory . 1995 was a year seared into the minds of those who worked at G.H.O.S.T. One of the terrible battles to happen on Earth soil- the Battle of the Bay. San Francisco, a city in the golden state. Many people at this point lived in peace thinking that the new alien robots who swore to protect humanity- Autobots, would keep their city safe in case of a Decepticon threat.But that wasn’t the case.The Battle of the Bay saw many casualties- on both Autobot and Decepticon fronts- but more so, on Humanity’s front. The Battle of the Bay would be one of the most catastrophic fights on Earth that would seal the fate of many future Cybertronians to come. Both allies and enemies were hit by either side of the conflict- G.H.O.S.T facilities were fired upon, so were homes, office buildings, and even relief facilities. The rubble left by the fight was catastrophic on levels never before seen.Dr. Meridian was there- he remembered how his chest burned with rage watching these so called ‘heroes’ fire upon innocent civilians- HUMAN civilians. He was never savvy on the idea of leaving humanity’s safety to these robots who didn’t even know what it meant to be human- and as he waded through the rubble of fallen apartment buildings with his Arachnamechs, he heard the faint cry of a baby.Calypso Meridian grew up in closed quarters, not seeing the outside world very much. In the same vein she was homeschooled by her father- he wasn’t a very… Emotionally dependent man- in fact, she rarely earned a smile or hug from him, something she grew used to. She wouldn’t call herself emotionally stunted- no, he would fit that moniker better. But it didn’t mean she was exactly emotionally or socially competent either. All she knew were Bots, Cons- and her Father’s Arachnamechs. She was given one as a child from Meridian, an Arachnamech she called Weaver. She was a brilliant child, learning all she knew of mathematics and robotics from Meridian himself. She worked closely with her father, developing AI and tech to help his cause in ridding the Earth of the disease known as ‘Transformers’.He fed her a story where both Autobots and Decepticons murdered her parents in a direct attack- only being saved when he and his Arachnamechs intervened rather than what actually happened. This story fueled a hatred from a young age, a hatred that would burn for a long time until her early adulthood.She watched as Cons came and went through her father’s laboratory and watched the cruelty he gave to them. He was never a patient man, neither with Cons or her. So she knew better than to question him directly. However she couldn’t help but feel he would continue to squander opportunities to strip them for parts. What use were they to him that the Arachnamechs couldn’t already do? She never understood his intentions.For her eighteenth birthday, Meridian bestowed her a gift, something he hadn’t done for her in a very, very long time. It was a bracelet- though not just any kind of jewelry. The second she had put it on, she felt a slight burning and an electrifying volt travel through her nervous system. The large violet gem in the middle glowed vaguely, as if it bonded to her. In a second she felt her vision blur as metal formed around her body. When she opened her eyes and looked at her reflection- she was in her own Exo-suit, one with jet boosters and a transforming arm laser- but… How?Meridian had developed the tech through the use of Cybertronian tech yes, but specifically through the harvesting and reverse engineering of the T-Cog, the organ all Cybertronians possess to transform.With this new Exo Suit, Calypso was finally allowed to go outside and perform missions rather than stay inside and tinker away. However she was only allowed to go by a callsign- Copycat, she chose.From hitting G.H.O.S.T convoys to bringing in Bots and Cons to her father- Calypso became a threat to all Cybertronians on Earth, and the worst part, nobody knew she was human. As far as everyone was aware, she was a violent Minicon hellbent on destroying her own kind.Through her time out in the field, she was given a task by her father- to lead a squadron of Decepticons called the ‘Vicaricons’ that came into Meridian’s service many years prior and have been working for him since. Despite her initial refusal and disgust for having to work alongside Cybertronians, Calypso eventually heeded and began working with the Cybertronians. Calypso highly distrusted the Vicaricons and they too likewise distrusted Calypso and Dr. Meridian. However their teamwork was merely a means to an end- their teamwork was the beginning of a long revenge plot against Megatron and his seeming abandonment of the Decepticons. They have watched how he plays buddy-buddy with Optimus, Autobots and humans. How he assists in capturing his own soldiers and imprisoning them among Humans. They refuse to kneel their heads and let their traitorous leader cut their necks.However, ever since teaming up with Dr. Meridian, the Vicaricons have known nothing but pain and forced obedience. Not like Megatron treated them better during the war. However despite being valuable scouting assets for Dr. Meridian, he wasn’t above using them for experiments.Despite their differences, Calypso found out quickly that the six of them meshed very well together. Like she was bonded into their Combiner even. After missions Calypso would talk to Vicedrive- despite being Cybertronians, they were the first friends she’s made… Ever. It was then that Calypso learned that the reason she worked so well with Vicedrive and her team was that part of Vicedrive’s T-Cog was used to create the very Exo Suit that she uses.As time went on, however, the more Calypso transformed, the weaker she would become at the end. It was only after a few months that she overheard Meridian documenting Calypso’s resistance to Energon poisoning-He had gifted her an experimental Exo Suit and knowingly poisoned her as a test subject.To him, she was just a lab rat he was waiting to grow useful.She realized very quickly that Meridian never truly cared about her as a person or a daughter- just another means to an end. She left the facility in a mixture of anger, sadness and panic. She was eventually found by the Vicaricons and after nearly killing each other- realized that they didn’t need to be held under Meridian’s thumb. They worked well as a team- all things considered- and even though they didn’t know much about Human biology, Vicedrive was a doctor back on Cybertron and she knows Energon- they can try to find a cure for Calypso. However they’d probably need to commandeer G.H.O.S.T tech for it.That day Copycat went rogue- and while G.H.O.S.T still had a Minicon and Combiner team to worry about, so did Meridian now.

. wishes & dreams . honestly just surviving the war was good enough. backstory . A relatively short femme with an even shorter temper, Wirecutter of Uraya was one of the most ruthless Decepticons during the war- if it wasn’t for how small her stature was. Minicons weren’t unique in Cybertron, most didn’t bat an eye to them- so long as they were classified as a minicon. Wirecutter was not, she just happened to be one of the smallest Decepticons imaginable and that’s what drew people to comment on such a status.
Wirecutter, despite the jokes made at her expense, was a strong willed and brutal Decepticons. She took pleasure in beating bots ten times her size into scrap metal. For a time she was even enacted as a drill instructor for new Decepticons who joined the army. If she could teach young, snarky cons, to respect her, then they will be the most diligent soldiers in the face of any other high-rank. However despite Wirecutter carrying herself well, she still had a problem with her height. This prompted the small Con to join something called the ‘Triple Changer Program.’Triple Changers weren’t necessarily unique, though there weren’t many of them. Most tended to be natural-born, or at most cold constructed. But the Triple Changer Program was more than just a test to see if one could gain an additional alt mode, no, it was a proof of concept to prove an operation to elevate normal single changers into six changers would be possible. However most outside of the Science and Medical team within the Decepticons knew of this, and just marketed the program as a way to enhance the fighting prowess of any given Con.However what Wirecutter was most intrigued about, was seeing smaller, skinnier cons coming out gigantic and bulked out. If not for that she probably wouldn’t have considered volunteering.The procedure, of course, was experimental. Highly, highly experimental. Wirecutter was kept awake through the grueling process and watched at how scientists and medics alike poked and prodded at her fuel lines and innards. When the operation was over she looked fundamentally… The same?She neither gained bulk nor height- in fact, she perhaps lost some bulk around her pedes which were knowingly missing a lot of its mass.The explanation had to do entirely with the secondary altmode her T-cog had inherently chosen. It wouldn’t have done much to help her unfortunately. Leaving the operating room, the femme became infuriated and began beating down the closest wall. However through this she discovered that despite gaining neither height or weight, she did gain strength. A gratuitous amount of strength.However there were also a plethora of side effects that she didn’t even notice until the day after.Her optics had a hard time adjusting in bright light environments to the point where she gained increasingly painful processor aches. Returning back to the medbay, it was diagnosed that her optics were damaged during the procedure and that there was nothing much they could do about it. She was given some goggles to help diffuse the light slightly and sent on her way. Her frequent light-induced processor aches made her unfit to perform as a drill sergeant and she was subsequently removed from her position and placed in a more subdued role of Communications Officer.This infuriated Wirecutter, but she wasn’t one to go against direct orders. Despite desiring to fight on the battlefield, Wirecutter spent the remainder of the war decoding Autobot messages and sending messages to several Decepticon outposts.
