Forums » General Roleplay » A lone Autobot (Open)

Cybertron, the home world of the transforming living machines fell victim to a horrific war. There were the Autobots who fought for liberty, and the Decepticons who wished for tyranny. The war ravaged the planet beyond repair and to the point where it became completely uninhabitable.

As numerous bots left their world which was reduced to a lifeless husk, one Autobot named Unity got separated from his unit in a mission to neutralize an enemy warship. He took his vehicle mode in the form of a high tech heavy dropship and immediately fled Cybertron in hopes of finding other survivors.

Then, Unity entered the human solar system and set course for a remote world not to far away, Earth. After his arrival, he began to enter the atmosphere in vehicle mode. Once his altitude was low enough, he flew towards a ghetto parking lot and proceeded to land.

The exterior plates of the heavy dropship soon shifted and transformed into an enormous mech. The bot had a pointed torso, wide wing like shoulders which made him resemble an angel, long and narrow legs, and a beak shaped head with a glowing blue visor.

Realizing he needed a disguise, Unity scanned an old diesel locomotive from the 1940s to replace his existing vehicle mode. He squatted down on the rails and transformed into a white train of the exact same type he just analyzed, which was about 91 feet long, had twelve axles, and was painted all white.

"This will do..." The Autobot mumbled to himself with his engine already powered up and roaring, sighing in content. He sat there on the tracks while checking his surroundings, making sure he wasn't being observed.

Azure had been alone on her ship for some time now, many of the others had been offlined from two horrid decepticons that had boarded their ship... she had watched her best friend be killed in front of her optics..
she was the only one that had survived... well... the only autobot anyway. the decepticon that had managed to survive was controlling the ship, and was unaware she had she waiting for some time now in a escape capsule. waiting for the right moment to strike and avenge her loved ones.

her commlink had been damaged during the battle on cybertron and so she was sadly unable to communicate with any autobots at the moment that might be on a planet nearby.

she heard a frame shift and lifted her helm up quickly, the decepticon had only been moving in recharge. wait recharge?
the femme got up on her pedes and opened the escape capsule, the decepticons frame shifted once again and she froze, but thankfully he did not get up.
with a cry, Azure transformed her arm into a cannon and aimed it at the decepticons spark, there was a loud noise as a blue light flung itself into the decepticons chest plates, and then all was silent on the ship.

Azure ran to the main control room, and pressed a dial, a countdown appeared up onto the screen that would release the escape capsule from the ship,
escape capsule departing in 10,9,8

azure ran back along the hallway and into the capsule where she shut the doors quickly.

6,5,4

she prepared herself for launch.

3...2...1

there was a jolt as the capsule flew from the ship, azure sat back in the seat and looked at the main controls... the nearest planet was organic based, its name was earth.
but why was the decepticon heding there?
her first thoughts were to leave and head to a different planet, but another thought overtook her, what if the autobots were on that planet?

azure turned the capsule around and headed for the small green and blue planet.

A small cruiser was approaching Earth. It was clearly made by Decepticons and could hold a few troops. "So, what planet is that?" a dark blue scientist asked. "I don't know. Certainly looks different from Cybertron" Another much larger con said looking out at the planet. "Think there's any life on it?" a third smaller con asked. "Perhaps. I hope I can get my hands on a few lifefroms, dissect them and see how they work."The first one said with a chuckle. The Larger decepticon shook his head. "I swear to Primus! That autobot we have in the cells is better conversation than you Rotor."he said angrily, before heading deeper into the ship. "Hmmph. You're not much better Treads."Rotor skoffed. The third Con rolled his optics. "Wil lyou two quite arguing so we can land?"he asked.

In the prison deck of the cruiser was a small autobot. Treads approached the cell he was in glancing down at him. "You seemed larger in my memory." Treads said to the autobot. The autobot didn't respond. "I swear you can't get good conversation with anyone on this ship..." Treads said irritably. The autobot remained silent. "Look I just want some friendly conversation. I'm not trying to taunt you, or torture you, or get any information from you. I just want to talk. What's your name?"Treads said with a sigh. "Jumper-Cables" The small autobot replied. It's a pleasure to meet you on mroe friendly terms, Jumper-Cables. My name is Treas. My... eh... Associates are called Rotor and Locust" Treads said. The ship shook violently, having hit a satelite. "We must be entering the planets atmos-"Treads managed to get out before Rotor's voice came on over the comms. "Treads! We hit something! Get up here now!"Rotor demanded. Treads let out a sigh before leaving to help steer the ship.

azure opened her optics slowly, the last thing she remembered was the capsule crashing, after that was only darkness.
A small red flashing light could be seen in the dark, and azure made her way slowly over to the capsule door, she tried the handle, and it appeared to be jammed...

Azure sighed and flicked a switch on her wrist, there was a flash as a beam of light hit the capsule door.

*SKKKKKK CRASH *

The door fell and azure was greeted by a shining light, she stepped outside and viewed her surroundings. The planet was obviously organic, she did not need the capsule or the ship she had left to explode to tell her that.

Small green trees dotted across the landscape,

Azure looked down at the ground, but lifted her helm as she heard a revving in the distance. She pered over a rock only to see a vehicle traveling down what appeared to be a road.

It was bright blue and marched her armour, a smile made her way onto her faceplates as she scanned it.
She watched as the vehicle dissapeared into the horizon and then transformed into her new alt mode. Perfect...

By the time treads got to the front of the ship it had already broken through the atmosphere and was hurtling to the ground. "Good of you to show up" rotor said with his words dripping with sarcasm. A loud tearing noise was heard. Treads turned to see the back of the ship was gone. "Ah scrap" he muttered. Momments later the ship crashed.

Jumper-Cables stumbled out of the ship, falling to his hands and knees. He felt like ejecting his energon rations he had that day.What kind of planet is this?" He said looking around seeing green plants surrounding him. He noticed the front half of the ship and immediately took his alt mode, a motor cycle-like light vehicle, before speeding off

Azure slowly drove through the wilderness, until suddenly she saw a small settlement just ahead.
Another vehicle zoomed past her and she narrowed her optics as she thought she saw something in particular on the back of the small vehicle. An insignia.

She replayed the event in her processor and paused, she then zoomed in on the image. A decepticon symbol...

Her engine revved angrily, she had to find out what it's mission was, and why it was in earth.

Azure was quickly approaching the town and so an attack on the vehicle wouldn't be the best solution.

She decided to follow it instead.

Jumper-Cables had been speeding away from the crash site. Thankfully he knew he would be much faster than Treads, but Locust and Rotor would easily be able to catch up to him, unless he took a new alt. mode. He noticed a gathering of vehicles not too far by, seeing tents and such. He drove over, hiding behidn one of the tents, shifting into robot mode. He peeked around it, seeing a bunch of small fleshy creatures he didn't recognize. Then he noticed a green and purple vehicle. It resembled his current alt. mode, but seemed to be modified for the small fleshy creatures to ride. He scanned it and transformed, replicating it entirely. Afterwards he drove off.

Over at the crash site several military vehicles had arrived. "Holy crap... where do you think it came from?"A soldier asked getting out of a jeep. "No idea... Think it's british? Korean? Chinese? Russian?" Another asked. "I don't think it's any of those.... Look at this." One soldier called, indicating a massive pool of energon. Unbeknownst to the soldiers they were being watched. Rotor was hiding behind some rocks, while Treads remained deeper in the Ship. Rotor scanned one of the helicopters that had arrived, before launching a blast of cosmic rust at it, hitting the rotors and causing the chopper to crash and explode. Treads took his chance, scanning a Tank that had come with the jeeps and shifted into and opened fire on the soldier. After a short skirmish all that remained was some destroyed vehicles and dead soldier. "Treads, initiate the Self destruct on the front of the ship. I'll deal with the back" Rotor ordered. Reads nodded going inside, before returning outside, transforming and driving off, Rotor followed. Shortly after the front half of the Ship exploded, destroying the evidence that tehre was anyone there. Rotor then fired a missile from hsi alt. mdoe at the engines on the back, causing it to explode as well.

After acquiring a new alt mode to keep a low profile on the foreign world, Unity detected the incoming capsule being pulled in by the Earth's gravity using scanner equipment built into his helm. He sat dead on the rails for a short period of time while keeping track on where the pod would most likely land. The enormous bot in disguise took a little time to set up a waypoint and what routes to take by rail to reach the incoming Autobot.

The Wrecker proceeded to roar up his loud engine, releasing the brakes on his new alt mode. He began to speed up and take off to his set destination, eager to locate possible stranded bots who recently fled their shared home world. Throughout the long distance he traveled, the bot did a special trick to make the switches change and reroute for him.

After the long journey across the country, Unity finally reached the outskirts of the small town, whooshing across a forest in vehicle mode. An on board energon detector of his showed that the capsule recently impacted the ground, and the bot inside was on the move. He sped up and jumped several switch tracks that would bring him close to Azure's location.

As the femme followed the Decepticons, all of them would hear what sounded like a train horn nearby. The Autobot disguised as an old diesel locomotive from the 40s painted in white drove parallel with them and Azure on the far right of the road.

"By the Allspark..." Unity mumbled to himself upon seeing the femme in her alt mode and focused in the Decepticons, seeing their famous logo. Now he just needed to find a way to get Azure away from their adversary without getting their attention, despite the fact he could easily crush the Cons just by running them over. The Wrecker honked the horn twice to see if she would ever notice, even though there was a possibility their foes would get suspicious.

By now the Trio had split up to try and find a base of operations to use. He was flying close to the others, hearing the Train horn. The sudden sound startled him."What in the name of Primus was that?!"HE said to hismelf. After a few minutes he saw Unity, though for obvious reasons was unaware of his status as a Cybertronian. He followed the Train noting the Decepticon and Azure, though, again didn't know they were Cybertronians. "Perhaps I may be able to get directions. Hopefully these are autonomous." Rotor said having never been off Cybertron before and was unaware pf the rarity of creatures like him or other cybertronians. Rotor managed to catch up to Unity, being on the opposite side to Azure and the 'Con. "Excuse me, I don't know if you're a living being or not but it never hurts to ask. Could you tell me what planet I'm on? Or possibly where the nearest Cybertronian outpost is?"Rotor asked, still oblivious to Unity being not only Cybertronian, but an Autobot.

Azure picked up another energon signiture not too far from her location, all optics and audio receptors were now turned towards a loud noise In The distance.

The motorcycle began driving along the side of the ' train 'which if azure was correct.; Was actually a cybertronian.

As she moved closer she spotted a small insignia hidden on the white paint. This train was an autobot...

The scout then noticed that the decepticon was moving closer to the train. If this train was actually an autobot, then he was probably slagged.

Azure developed a cannon in her alt mode and quickly began shooting at the decepticon before they reached the next town.
The last thing they needed was too attract attention to themselves.

Hearing laser fire on the other side of Unity, Rotor pulled away. "SCRAP!" He shouted surprised by the sudden laser fire. He flew up higher, noticing the canon on Azure. "Well this things are atleast weapons..." It took him a few momments to realize his Energon detector had been going off, with it having been cut out by the sound from Unity. He was too far from Azure or the decepticon to see any insignias on them. "Autobot or Decepticon?"He asked over the comms hoping to get a response.

Azure heard a crackling cut through her commlink, someone was trying to communicate with her... Damn it.... Now she wished it hadn't been damaged...

Azure sent another blast of energy at the motorcycle.

"Well then... in that case" Rotor said before opening fire on Azure with his main canon."TREADS! LOCUST! Get your tailpipes to my location!"Rotor ordered over the comms. "Where is your location exactly? Depending on that we may not be able to help"Locust said, having found his way into a city. "Even then would we be any help? you got that rusty gun thing."Treads said. "I'm in vehicle mode you glitch"Rotor retorted."Even then with as deadly as Cosmic rust can be, it doesn't kill on impact. It takes at least an Orbital cycle to do anything, and for all we know the means to remove the rust may be readily available on this planet." Rotor added. "Well didn't you take the form of some kind of attack vehicle? Why not just shoot at what ever you're shooting."Locust said. "Gee, if only that Idea crossed my mind."Rotor said."I'm sending my coordinates, get over here immediately!"Rotor said. "Frag that, Rotor, I'm too far away to be of any help." Locust said. "I'd rather not waste the energon."."Same here. I'm closer I assume but I'm not very fast, you're on your own"Treads replied.

" slag! " azure mumbled as the decepticon began to fire back at her.
They made several dints in her blue paint, and now boy was she pissed.
" oh pit you did not just do that..."
Her engine revved as she gained speed and drove up to the motorcycle, blades came out of the side of the car, she did a one sixty and knocked the motorcycle over, there was an awful noise as the metal collided with one another.

Rotor watched Azure take out the Motorcycle that was ahead of her. It had apparently begun shooting back at her. "Frag this...." Rotor said flying ahead of Azure. He scanned the area for any humans, before transforming, with his arm canon ready, before firing at Azure.

( oi I just attacked you never mind )

Oop: Rotr's not the motorcycle

( oops to me )

" slaaaaag " azure said angrilly as she nearly went top speed at the decepticon that had just landed in front of her, she launched her alt mode into the air, azure tranformed and landed on her pedes, her arm already transformed into a cannon.

" why are you here? " she growled as they circled one another, cannons at the ready. She wanted answers.

"Crash landing, and you?"Rotor asked, getting ready to fight.

Then, the exterior plates of the train suddenly shifted and began to rearrange, the bottom of the locomotive grinded on the rails and created sparks. The out dated train literally transformed into a large angelic white mech, with a beak shaped head with a glowing blue visor, wing like shoulders, a pointed torso, and of course long and narrow legs. An Autobot logo could be seen on both his shoulders.

Unity leaped off the tracks and took off sprinting towards Azure. He pulled out what looked like a heavy plasma based mini gun similar to Dreadwing's and aimed at Rotor. "Start talking Con, if you value you your life..." The Wrecker spoke in a unamused tone, having the accent of an Australian.
