Transformers: Unicron Apocalypse. Sign up and discussion

I suppose now would be a good time to talk about this.

Despite being literal demigods, the Primes aren’t really defied. Given how prominent they are in current society, they haven’t been able to be glorified and mythologized the way they are in modern Cybertron.

Here they aren’t worshiped, but certainly respected. They’re seen as leaders. Figures of the highest authority, second only to Primus himself. But at the same time they aren’t unapproachable. If you need to talk to the Prime, there’s nothing wrong with just walking up and talking to them. As long as you’re respectful about it.

That said, there are a few special cases to be mentioned.

Prima is the one given the most formal respect out of any of the other Primes. Largely because he’s the only one that demands that much respect.

Every Prime has a somewhat closer bond with the members of their chapter than they do with all other bots. But nowhere is this more true than with Solus Prime. While still respected like the rest by most, among artificers the relation is far more friendly and casual. She’s seen not so much as a leader, but almost like an older sister. Still an authority to be listened to and respected, but in a much more personable way than the others. Most of the Primes have no issue with this, but Prima finds it unbecoming.

Alchemist, being a more common figure than the rest since he spends so much time running his bar in Genesis, is seen a bit more casually than the others. Though not by too much.

Liege Maximo is the only Prime who’s actively disrespected. This man loves to cause problems on purpose and everyone is sick of it. It isn’t uncommon to hear bots gossiping and talking down about him behind the Primes’ backs. However he has been trying to mend this reputation in recent years, and some bots have started to come around.

Megatronus is something of a mystery among common folk. He doesn’t really like interacting with the public most of the time, and when he does he doesn’t talk much. He comes across as a stern and silent type, and most don’t really know what to make of him. He’s still just as respected as the rest, but no one really tries to talk to him.

Indeed it does. Cybertron has a fully fledged atmosphere and weather system. Due to having far less water than a world like earth things like snow and rain aren’t super common. But they still happen, and clouds are nothing out of the usual.

What about Onyx?

Onyx Prime is just as respected as the others among most of the public. But to his Kindred, he’s seen as a spiritual leader. Someone to seek guidance from in order to find the perfect balance that Kindred strive for.

Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to reintroduce my character to the game! Since I got distracted at the start, I couldn’t find a way to work her back into the action

No problem! I figured you could probably use another jumping in point.

I just realized: Roadblock is a character who uses cement. Caus is a character who spits acid. Acid, melts cement. It also does not harm Caus. Caus completely counters Roadblock.

Just a heads up. I’m probably going to be completely inactive over the next two days. I might find the time to put out a post or two. But with Christmas eve and Christmas day, my attention is gonna be with my family first.

So things have clearly slowed down dramatically, with a few players having seemingly dropped off.

Before I used to just force the plot forward in times like this, to force the story out of such doldrums. But this time I figured I might as well ask everyone before making that push.

I just plan on moving the story forward to the next major plot beat. Get some action going and the wheels turning again. If none of you mind.

I personally wouldn’t mind things moving forward.

Shall I shake things up with a new character or two? I have some ideas in mind.

Man where did the day go. I sit down to work on one model kit and suddenly seven hours pass.

You can submit a new character if you want to. But I’m given a lack of any objections, I’m gonna go ahead and move the plot forward regardless.

That’s fine. I’ve just been lazy and forgot to post. So it’ll be good to be doing more than just talk.

Yeah. My bad.

Just a clarification. Terrorcons don’t exist here. Not yet anyway. Not only that but Dark Energon and it’s effects is something that very few people know about.

These constructs are completely unlike anything the group would be familiar with.

But wouldn’t Alchemists be familiar with Dark Energon’s legends?

Vaugly. The only individuals who have ever directly interacted with Dark Energon have been the Primes. (Until recently of course) And they don’t like to talk about it very much.

Backblast could have possibly heard of dark energon before. But he would know very little about what it does. Only that it comes from Unicron and that it’s bad.
