First wave of Primes & their brief descriptions for the TP&O AU! All subject to changes and shifts as I continue developing :] & I will definitely make solo posts for each of them to give deeper insight to their characters!

Zeta Prime - The Matrix Bearer; concerned with the current conflicts on their planet and off of it; eyes always seem half-closed; sense of old regality; tries to stay in touch with the other Primes, but is disconnected socially; his mind often seems to be somewhere else. Little Orion, the burden is heavy, but you need not to bear it alone.

Alpha Trion - The Father (unofficially); The Major Archivist (officially); holder of the Quill; head of the Iacon Archives; stern, concerned but loving; makes the rules and maintains structure.  Little Orion, there is importance in knowing the past to proceed with the future. 

Megatronus Prime - The Warrior; creator and leader of the High Guard; Conjunx of Solus; fights to protect the sanctity of their people and the lives they live; sometimes meditating; works in tandem with Nexus Prime and his explorer fleet & often consults with Liege Maximo. Little Orion, you must be strong enough to be gentle.

Alchemist Prime - The Alchemist; “Maccadam” (affectionately); leads a science team; engrossed in his work, but also very involved with the customs of Cybertronians through his bar; very responsible and reliable. Little Orion, there is no wrong in enjoying what is sweet; you need not starve yourself.

Vector Prime - The Time Seer; Light-hearted and a little silly; ability to break the fourth wall; ability to traverse and see into the multiverse; consults with Alpha Trion & Zeta often; older than he looks, wiser than he seems. Little Orion, there is no important time like the now.

Solus Prime - The Weaponsmith; creator of the Primes’ arsenal, but also a mender; Conjunx of Megatronus; a sweetspark; laughs loudly; sometimes works herself thin; protective of her loved ones; fierce defender of following one’s spark. Little Orion, the future is one you forge. 

First Wave | Second Wave | Third Wave | Extras (Will soon be linked for navigation when posted!)

Dear Vector Prime,

I'm fairly new to knowing about your kind, so forgive me for asking a dumb question you've probably answered some time in the past but...I'm a little curious...I've never heard about any of the primes being medics...so...what happens when one of you guys gets injured during a fight?

Dear Medic Monitor,

It is true that none of us have "medic" as our official function. We Primes were originally created as soldiers, meant to rid the universe of the scourge of Unicron… but things are rarely so simple.

In war, injury is inevitable—and in a war as catastrophic as the one we fought, a single wound could change the fate of creation. We could not have a single dedicated healer among our ranks, for if they fell, so too would the rest of us. Instead, each of us brought our own talents to bear when one of our comrades was wounded, working together to ensure the Chaos Bringer could not lay us low for long.

Alchemist put his studies of the physical and metaphysical worlds together, letting him see wounds to both our bodies and psyches, and know how to repair them. Solus may have primarily put her Forge to work in creating tools, but she knew how to fix things as well, including her siblings. Alpha Trion may now be famous as a sage and advisor, but his knowledge has given him a keen grasp of Cybertronian anatomy and how to upgrade and repair others. Energoa saw the conduits and meridians that ran through our bodies and souls, and ensured they flowed freely to restore us to health.

Quintus loved life, and preserving said life was something he instinctively felt drawn to, leading him to further develop medicine. On the other hand, though Mortilus's domain was death and the ending of things, he knew how to hold off those ends until their appointed time—and speaking of time, I myself have been responsible for turning back the clock more than once, restoring my injured siblings to full functionality. Predator may be the mask of a hunter, showing Onyx weakness to exploit in his prey, but so too could it show where one's own herd is vulnerable; where to intervene, and where to let nature do its work uninterrupted.

Micronus was always willing to share his strength with others. Nitro was the ultimate first responder, there to help before we knew we had been hit. Nexus had a knack for seeing how things came apart, and how to put them back together. Sentinel was unshakable, his hands never trembling as he patched our armor. And of course, it's been said of one of my siblings that if he had been on Earth, he'd be a doctor, a mechanic, a scientist, and a warrior. But to us, there is no great difference between those professions.

That, ultimately, is our great secret. Unicron was a blight, an infected wound on the cosmos that needed to be cut out and sterilized. We Primes were made to save lives—sometimes that takes a sword or blaster, and sometimes it takes a laser scalpel.

Around March I got the urge to watch G1, so I opened Youtube and started the episodes in the order in which they were listed on the official Hasbro channel.

Turns out that is not a good idea.

I figured it out around the middle of season 1 and went searching on the internet to find if someone had any idea why is that.

After a while I found a forum of people talking about how they made their own order of the episodes. After a bit of scrolling I found God.

pitt55 shared his entire reconfiguration of all the 98 episodes on the forum. You'll find his reply if you scroll down just a bit.

I used his guide and didn't have a single problem from then on, and I did make a copy of it and pasted it in my notes for easier access so I'm putting it here for anyone who wants to watch G1 and is/was as confused as me.

hey do you want to talk about timeline 5 of hindsight i remember you mentioning that it was your favorite

*cracks knuckles* alright here we go! I've been sitting on this ask for awhile and have been super depressed struggling to answer it, but I think I'm finally ready! I can't get super far in and tell you what happens in the new future that Arcee and Galvatron arrive to, but I can tell you all the fun backstory and set up that was developed for this timeline!

Some of this is probably gonna sound nonsensical, but just bear with me. In the previous timeline, Galvatron and Terminus abandoned Kaon in an attempt to protect their sparkling. Galvatron, now bearing the touch of Vector Prime, was tracked and found by Alpha Trion, and the three of them became wards of the Temple of Prima in Iacon

It's at the temple that the timeline diverges again: Galvatron-3 (the one from the Combiner Wars timeline) goes back in time after Megatron's unfortunate death and confronts himself in the temple. At this point he's lived multiple lives and had his sparkbond to his son shatter multiple times: he's unstable and desperate. Gives himself from the past yet another grave warning, and at this point, Galvatron-4 (belonging to the 5th timeline) is well on his way to intense clinical paranoia. He's veen visited by himself from the future three separate times, and each version of himself bears new scars and an increasingly haunted look in his optics. Raving at him to protect their son, don't let anything happen to him, please, you have to protect him! The first time, it was to stop a home intruder from shooting their son. The second time, it was to prompt him to forget the seekers, forget everyone in Kaon, and just run. And now, the third time, he's told to keep Megatron was from politics, don't ever let him out of your sight--and Galvatron takes it to spark. This has all happened in a very short amount of time for him, only a few days, and if the future is that bad, he needs to take precautions

Megatronus of the 5th timeline of Hindsight grows up extremely isolated. He's kept under lock and key in the temple, so much to the point that he hasn't been outside since he was a sparkling. He has no memories of ever wandering beyond the temple's walls. In exchange for their sanctuary, Galvatron is expected to study theology and the Covenant while Terminus minds their son, and Megatronus's carrier throws himself into learning everything he can about Vector Prime. The cybertronian god of time, Alpha Trion claims he bears his touch, and with the three different visitations from himself, surely no one but Vector can be responsible. He's exceptionally studious to the point of obsession, and the Acolyte of Prima plus the priests of the temple praise him for his faith and devotion. Galvatron devours everything he can about the mech that can leap through time, and eventually, comes to pledge himself as the god's Acolyte.

The Acolytes of Cybertron are an elite group, the Chosen Ones of the gods, those who commune with the divine to hear their words, caring for their temples and serving them in every way, shape, and form. Galvatron isn't doing this out of love for religion, but out of love for his child: he thinks that the only way he can possibly protect his sparkling is to figure out and harness the power of time jumping, as he did in the future. If he can forsee and prevent disasters before they happen, sweet Megatronus's life can be preserved

On the flipside, Megatronus grows up watching his carrier devoted everything he has to the gods, and it surprises no one when he begins to mimic him. Between wanting to be like his mama and the priests' gentle attention, he grows and blossoms into an exceptionally dedicated, pure-of-spark member of the church. Counting his prayers each and every day, memorizing all 182 commandments (13 for each original Prime + Primus), and helping around the temple however he can. Sheltered, graceful, and brimming with faith, he's the epitome of the holy virgin archetype. He'd be happy to spend his entire life in his pristine little bubble... until one day, Alpha Trion visits when with his young apprentice in tow 🤭

Orion and Megatronus hit it off immediately, when they're young teenagers--Orion is starstruck by the beautiful, glittering mech before him, with the softest optics and warmest smile he's ever seen, and suddenly, studying theology doesn't seem so bad! They make fast friends, with Orion coming to visit the temple routinely. Years pass and they grow into best friends with tender feelings shared between them 💖

I could ramble about their love story for hours, but we need to keep moving. When Megatronus is a young adult, nearly out of his juvenile stage, he and Orion make a discovery. Communication with the Temple of Megatronus in Kaon was lost centuries ago, before either of them were even born. Alarmed, they go to investigate, and Megatrons is horrified at what he finds. Kaon is like hell on earth--this is his very first time outside the temple, and he's never witnessed such widespread suffering. People are starving, and have no shelter, there are orphans milling about every alleyway. The air is thick with smog that burns their vents and optics--some mecha are even going blind from all the pollution. He can't stand to see it, and vows to do something about it

That starts with giving out the energon he'd originally brought as an offering, and making a beeline for the temple. It's fallen into horrible disrepair, and the only reason it was never razed is because its technically still a holy building and the local government can't touch it. Megatronus works tirelessly to repair it, with Orion's help and much to his carrier's chagrin, opening its doors to offer sanctuary to the people that need it. He gives them fuel and a warm place to sleep, and after word spreads through the grapevine that he's legit, the less fortunate flock to him. It breaks his spark to see so many people in such horrible condition, and starts working with Orion to fix it. It starts as a lot of charity work but grows over time, as does his popularity. The Senate is exceptionally unhappy with what he's doing, advocating for a better life for everyone, but unlike in Timeline-0, they can't lay a finger on him. Not when he's doing protected religious work, and when his carrier if the officially recognized Acolyte of Vector Prime. The Acolytes hold the same political immunity as acting Primes do, as those who speak with and are favored by the gods. They can't do anything to him.

Things progress slowly; its certainly not an overnight change. He spends (the equivalent of) the last of his teen years and all of his 20s slowly building the planet back up and improving life little by little for everyone around him. He gathers a massive following, with Orion at his side, and the day slavery is finally, legally abolished on Cybertron is a joyous day. He vows not to stop though, and continues working: he won't stop, not til every wrong has been righted, til everyone is happy, til the world has truly become one which the gods can be proud of.

Despite all the good he's done, he remains incredibly humble and down to earth, refusing to be tempted by any personal pleasures or rewards. Orion has spoken to him about bonding multiple times, but he always refused, saying, "How can I pursue my own happiness when others around me are suffering? There's more to be done, Orion... someday, my love, but not now."

He doesn't actually accept Orion's proposal til the day if his Sainthood ceremony. Cybertron hasn't had a Saint in so many generations people have nearly forgotten what a Saint is: someone elected and approved by all of the Acolytes, who's done an immeasurable amount of good for Cybertron, and who has demonstrated themselves to be a pure-sparked, devoted servant of the gods. A Saint's responsibility is to the flourish and success of Cybertron's people, and the Acolytes can think of no one more worthy of the title than the one who spearheaded the end of the Age of Functionism, and ushered in a new Age of Prosperity. The planet is nearly unrecognizable now, from what it had been: every citystate is clean, and everyone always has enough to refuel. No one struggles with homelessness, everyone has access to education and medical care. The economy is booming, people are happy, and violent crime has drastically been reduced. The planet could dsmn near be called a utopia, and the Acolytes want to reward Megatronus with Sainthood. He shakily accepts (read: they lovingly bully him into it and make it clear they'd accept no one else in the position 🤭) and after emerging from the ceremony with his new insignia declaring him the Saint, Orion rushes up the steps to the temple to kiss him. Grabs his servos, falls to his knees, and asks in a rush, "Will you bond with me?!"

He says yes, of course, through shocked and happy tears, and the wedding is small but the reception is grand. Megatron has thousands of adoring followers just in Kaon alone, and they all give Orion the shovel talk. Promising to bury him alive if he ever hurts their beloved Saint.

Saint Megatronus and Orion live happily as a bonded couple for quite awhile, even adopting several sparklings in need of homes. Things are going great.

But >:) because of their work to repair Cybertron, civil war never broke out. Everything ended peacefully. Because of this, there was never any cybertronian occupation of earth. There was no one there to stop Unicron's prophesized awakening. When he wakes, he breaks free of the planet, shattering earth into pieces and destroying it as he escapes his shell. The god of chaos wakes for the first time in billions of years, and is ready to resume his destructive rampage. He sends out his blood in great, gushing waves and storms, spreading like a disease across the cosmos and devouring everything in its wake, to fuel him and to help him track Cybertron. Unicron is the big bad of this timeline

Or, well. He's half of the big bad

Unicron has been trapped and asleep for over 4 billion years, and his body did what any living thing would do with that much time: it changed. The dark energon that we see in TFP was assumably spilled from Unicron's veins during his original battles with Primus and his niece + nephews. It's an old, old sample, and isolated from the body it belongs to, hasn't changed. This new dark energon that Unicron sends forth in storms and waves has evolved and mutated over time. Now his blood no longer simply reanimates corpses, rather, it mutates the living into the undead. Exposure to this new dark energon turns living mecha into raving, rabid creatures, mutating their bodies to be bigger, stronger, faster, stretching grotesquely and sprouting tentacles, ravenously hungry for the souls of the living. Unicron's blood now mutates living mecha into sparkeaters, and one of his storms is heading right for Cybertron

The world that Galvatron-4 and Arcee-5 return to is one ravaged by a vicious apocalypse, total societal collapse occurring when the whole planet was swallowed in purple rain and over 80% of the population was turned into an undead beast. Cybertron is now crawling with sparkeaters, and worse yet, self proclaimed Avatars of Chaos. Mecha that avoided mutation but were driven insane by dark energon radiation, and now are aptly described as crazy cultists that worship the Unmaker and his creations. Megatron is missing and nowhere is safe, so the two of them are gonna have a hell of a time in this new world 🤭

Anyway, i think that's a good place to wrap this up! I hope you enjoyed my rambling and it at least kinda made sense. Timeline 5 is my favorite, and I'd love to talk more about it!! 💖

Annon-Guy: I know you're not too keen of the Capcom Vs. Series, but I hope you can humor or etertain the question here.

If there was a Arc System Works Vs. Capcom Game, which 10 Guilty Gear characters and 10 BlazBlue characters would you choose for the Arc System Works Side?

Years ago, I discussed the idea of an ARC versus SNK roster (which largely consisted of Last Blade and Samurai Shodown characters by the way)...

But I think it's a different story when talking about Capcom.

I would largely argue that Capcom's roster would determine which characters to choose from.

I don't think it's fair to strictly use Street Fighter characters in this instance, since most GG characters could easily wipe the floor with SF's roster on a good day (even Bridget, believe it or not!)

I'd argue that if Capcom wanted to bring their very best to bear against ARC System Works... they'd have to go all out:

And by "go all out", I mean Warzard, I mean Plasma Sword (Star Gladiator), I mean Cyberbots, I mean Darkstalkers... characters that aren't human to begin with! Even Power Stone, Tech Romancer, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, and Biohazard would be good choices.

That's exactly how strong the cast of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue potentially are combined!

Narrowing each side's roster down to 10 is a little heavy handed, especially in regards to BlazBlue which has a very rich cast of characters.

Still, if I ABSOLUTELY had NO CHOICE but to narrow it down (11 Characters each to match Capcom's 22):

GG Side: Sol, Ky, Ramlethal, Happy Chaos, Goldlewis, Bedman, Asuka, A.B.A., Raven, I-No, Bridget

BB Side: Ragna, Jin, Noel, Arakune, Alpha 01 Apocalypse, Sechs, Juusan (Another Nu-13), Another Dark Mai, White Justice (Another Tsubaki), Kokonoe, Another Dark Kagura

Capcom Side: 22 Characters to Match the other side

Valgas (Power Stone) Jack (Power Stone) Hayato Kanzaki (Star Gladiator) Vector (Star Gladiator) Leo (Warzard/Red Earth) Blade (Warzard/Red Earth) Reverto (Monster Hunter Stories) Avinia (Monster Hunter Stories) Ethan Winters (Resident Evil Village) Alcina Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) Strider Hien (Strider 2) Strider Hiryu (Strider) Kage (Street Fighter 5) Oro (Street Fighter 5) JP (Street Fighter 6) Luke (Street Fighter 5/6) Gill (Street Fighter 5) Seth (Street Fighter 5) Jin Saotome (Cyberbots) Devilotte de Deathsatan IX (Cyberbots) Pyron (Darkstalkers) Huitzil (Darkstalkers)

THAT'S MY TAKE, AND I'M STICKING TO IT!

[lukesshowcaseplace]

Greetings, everyone. I have been pouring my heart and soul into writing what i would call a rough draft for my Transformers reboot lore/timeline. None of this is expected to be final, but do note that i've thought of this idea for about 2 and a half years now- If you do decide to read beyond this point, be warned, this is VERY hefty/organized, and only you guys will know what is contained in the series and its lore should you move forward and read this. If you wish to discover the truth, press the read more block.

If you got here, then great, i'm proud of you!! You appreciate the talent, effort, and work a small guy like me puts into creating something like this... So now, after 2 and a half years in the planning, i give you:

The Grandus Encyclopedius

Creation of Cybertron & Battle against Unicron

• Primus and Unicron are created, beginning their eternal conflict

• Primus creates Cybertron after temporarily subdueing Unicron

• Unicron creates his 4 Harbingers of Chaos, which Primus counteracts with the 13 Primes

• Unicron returns, in which he and his Harbingers fight off against Primus and the Primes. Unicron and his Harbingers are defeated, with the 13th Prime sacrificing himself to exile Unicron into deep space. The 13th Prime's essence is then transferred back into Primus' spark

• Primus sacrifices himself to give Cybertron the ability to create life and live as a planet (along with the 13th Prime's essence eventually manifesting itself into the planet later on), creating the Allspark in the process

• The rest of the Primes gives a part of themselves to Cybertron for it to create life in Primus' image

• The Allspark creates the Matrix of Leadership, which contains the 13th Prime's essence

Post-Unicron Darkness

• Cybertron bears the first generation of Cybertronians thanks to the Allspark

• Megatronus, one of the 13 Primes, falls under Unicron's control. He kills most of the other Primes, with Alpha Trion, Vector Prime, Alchemist Prime and Onyx Prime being the only survivors. Afterwards, Megatronus becomes the First Decepticon and rallies like-minded Cybertronians to his cause

• Alpha Trion claims the Matrix and flees to Cybertron

• Alpha Trion creates the Vaults of Vos and wipes his memory to become A-3

• Onyx Prime flees to an uninhabited jungle planet and becomes its guardian. Cybertronian life develops on the planet, and Onyx becomes their leader and mentor

• Vector Prime flees to his time dimension, where he vows to protect time and space to prevent spacio-temporal anomalies from destroying the timeline

• Alchemist Prime flees to Iacon on Cybertron and founds Maccadam's Old Oil House under the guise of Maccadam, creating the no fighting rule to prevent aggression inside the bar

Resistance and Retribution

• A-3, now wielding the Matrix, leads a resistance against Megatronus and his Decepticons, eventually "winning" after Megatronus is killed by Unicron for disobeying his orders

• A-3 gives the Matrix to his resistance and returns to the vaults. Over the years, he eventually recovers his identity as Alpha Trion, but he lacks the wisdom to return to his original form

• The resistance team dubs themselves the Autobots, annointing a Prime out of their ranks with the Matrix

• The Decepticons, in secret, prepare to strike back against the Autobots with a brand new leader to lead them

Wars for Cybertron

• Over time, a terrible series of wars would plague Cybertron for millenia

• Autobots strike back against evil Decepticon tyrants, while Decepticon treachery would topple peaceful Autobot leaders

• The last war, the Silver War, would see Nova Prime kill Bloodron and end the war in the Autobots' favor

Dynasty of Primes and Decepticon "Heroes"

• Autobot Rulers during the Wars for Cybertron (which are those who wielded the Matrix of Leadership) in chronological are as follows:

1. Sentrus Prime

2. Alphar Prime

3. Terminus Prime

4. Nova Prime

• Decepticon "Heroes" during the Wars for Cybertron in chronological order are as follows:

1. Floron

2. Dery

3. Devron

4. Rapiron

5. Pinoy

6. Gladiaron

7. Cannibaron

8. Murdron

9. Ghoulon

10. Bloodron

Golden Age, or Gilded Age?

• Nova Prime may have ended the wars and led Cybertron into a Golden Age, but he turned out to be an egotistical and crazed maniac who believed that the secret to power and authority lied beyond that of the Matrix itself

• Nova Prime gave leadership of Cybertron (and the Matrix) to Zoltar Zeta, who became Zeta Prime afterwards

• Nove then set out to discover a secret source of power alongside a self-formed group of likeminded Transformers in a ship he called the Novastar. He and his team were never seen again

• The twisted and often experimental Zeta Prime ruled Cybertron alongside Nominus for a short time, before he was betrayed by the latter. Nominus then stole the Matrix and became Nominus Prime, who turned Cybertron into a Functionalist society based on the alternate modes Cybertronians were given on birth

• Nominus Prime stepped down and handed control to Sentinel Major, who became Sentinel Prime and made this system even WORSE by making himself fully in charge of who was allowed to have functions in Cybertron and what Transformers turned into

• Alpha Trion would later leave the Vaults of Vos to regain his wisdom by reading his Covenant of Primus stored in Iacon's library

• The Vaults' contents were transferred during this process, with the foundation eventually repurposed into a maximum security prison under the command of Sentinel Prime

Megatron's Origins

• Megatron was created by a group of Decepticon Constructicons under the dying message of Bloodron to build the ultimate Decepticon, which the team who built Megatron composed of:

1. Grindcore (a huge heavily armed drill tank, who Megatron would name Grindcore Prison after)

2. Trench (a tracked loader)

3. Mortarcrusher (a cement mixer/mortar launcher)

4. Gravedigger (an excavator)

5. Hightower (a crane)

6. Steamhammer (a steam shovel)

• Megatron would then secretly begin to rally up the remaining Decepticon forces as well as create some of his own in able to properly strike against the Autobots. After the original Constructicons were killed by the heavily unstable monster combiner Monstructor, Megatron handed the construction-based operations to Shockwave, who would later serve to be Megatron's Enginus/Scientus Supremus, as well as guardian of Cybertron when Megatron takes over most of the planet.

• Megatron makes the loyal Sky-Byte his second-in-command, Starscream his lieutenant and aerospace commander, the three-faced triple-changer Blitzwing into his technician/computer specialist, front-end soldier, and Chaos Marauder, and Soundwave as his communications officer and espionage specialist

• Megatron later kills Sentinel Prime during a parade in Kaon, where he would ultimately establish as his base of operations

• Megatron then causes havoc and conquers various cities all over Cybertron

Rise of Optimus Prime

• Orion Pax, his best friend Dion, and his girlfriend Ariel work as cargo storage maintenance bots until the day they heard the news that Megatron had killed Sentinel Prime in "one of the outer cities" (the three all worked in Iacon)

• Dion refused to believe that Sentinel was dead, but Orion and Ariel tried the best they could to defend each other and Dion when Megatron surprise-attacked them all in an effort to take over Iacon

• Alpha Trion overheard everything and came out of his library as soon as the attack ended, only able to repair Orion and Ariel as their sparks were still present in their bodies (and since both of them had strong senses of justice)

• Alpha Trion remade Ariel into Elita-1, and he remade Orion Pax into Optimus, who would later find Sentinel's corpse and wield the Matrix as told in many prophecies to become the one known as: Optimus Prime

• Alpha Trion then returned to his library, where he would remain to guide Optimus all throughout his life

The Great War and Megatron's Master Plan

• Megatron starts the Great War after being defeated by Optimus Prime in the Battle for Iacon

• Many years of fighting drains the planet of its golden color, reducing it to a blueish gray color as both factions continue their war

• Megatron eventually decides to secretly create what he calls the "Ultimate Weapon", a God Gun that uses Cybertron and its moons to destroy anything in its way, granting the Decepticons total dominion over the universe

• Megatron then conspires with Shockwave to build said weapon without the Autobots' knowledge, which they realize that in able to fuel the weapon, they need the superfuel known as Ore-13, which naturally generated on a foreign planet

The Cybertronian Exodus

• Megatron appoints Shockwave guardian of Cybertron

• Megatron and his Decepticons then prepare to find the Ore-13 on The Nemesis, whom Optimus Prime and a squad of Autobots pursue in The Ark. Both factions battle over and crash on Earth, doomed to wait in stasis lock 4 million years before they eventually awaken...

While Leaders Flee

• While Shockwave takes total control of the planet, many Autobots fight against other Decepticons and their corresponding Decepticon Commanders

• A team of Prime-like Transformers arises in legends called the Warriors of the Seven Lights, who left Cybertron and defended the galaxy from intergalactic threats such as Ex-Archon and who imprisoned the ex-Autobot mnemosurgeon Sunder (later revealed to be a self-proclaimed Herald of Unicron) in the now-repurposed Vaults of Vos

• The Warrior of Evil (as a natural counterbalance to good) would later betray and kill the other warriors, taking their Light Matrices and scattering them across the universe before transferring his consciousness into and warping his own Matrix somewhere in the mysterious dimension known as Unspace

4 Million Years Later...

• In the year 1994, Optimus' squad of Autobots and Megatron's group of Decepticons awaken, continuing their war on the planet Earth

Building Relations and Calling Reinforcements

• Optimus Prime and his Autobots meet the adult Spike Witwicky and his father Sparkplug, befriending them and being assisted by them during their war against Megatron and his evil Decepticons. They also find the ancient warrior Grimlock, request the aid of a few other Autobots, and restore a Decepticon-controlled Ultra Magnus

• Megatron and his team find, call, and create other Decepticons while on Earth, including the long-lost Stunticons (excluding Wildrider, who the Decepticons found first), a new iteration of the Constructicons (consisting of the six that are most well known), Bludgeon (the mystic master of Metallikato and guardian of his own pocket dimension), and Lugnut (called to Earth from Cybertron under Megatron's direct orders)

• Megatron and Shockwave direct the creation and installation of a basebound Space Bridge system, which allowed Megatron to beam resources directly to Cybertron

• Lockdown, a freelance bounty hunter, gets paid by Megatron to travel to Earth to capture Optimus Prime and deliver him to Megatron

The Ultimate Weapon

• After eventually gathering enough Ore-13, Megatron plans to beam his team and the remaining Ore-13 to Cybertron

• Optimus and his Autobots pursue Megatron and travel on the Space Bridge to Cybertron, which results in a fight across Unspace. Megatron redirects the Autobots to one of Cybertron's moons to witness the unfolding of Megatron's 4 Million Year Plan: the transformation of Cybertron and its moons into the God Gun

• Thundercracker is killed by Megatron after finally standing up to him and trying to prevent him from activating the God Gun

• The God Gun is activated after a long fight on the planet's surface and before Optimus can stop Megatron from doing so

• Shockwave betrays Megatron after he imprisons the Autobots within Grindcore Prison, which is spearheaded by leader of the Decepticon Justice Division (aka Megatron's Secret Police): Tarn (named after the first city that fell to Megatron)

• With the help of Megatron and Starscream, the Autobots successfully defeat Shockwave before he could use the God Gun to drain the universe's resources and power Cybertron (but leave the entire universe destroyed)

Aftermath

• After the chaotic event known as the God Gun Gambit, both Cybertron and Earth would be repaired over time by both Autobots and Decepticons

• A funeral is held for Thundercracker's honorable sacrifice in New York, whom both factions attend in solem rememberance for

• Shockwave is then reprogrammed by Megatron to become his titular loyal self whilst keeping his unique skillset

• Eventually, after repairs on both planets are finished, Megatron resumes the war on Earth

Road to Unicron

• Over time, as both Autobot and Decepticon reinforcements are sworn in, strange and mysterious figures start to appear, such as Sunder and the Harbingers of Chaos (aka the Destructons, led by Lord Imperious Delirious), which leads to a few alliances between the Autobots and the Decepticons

• Megatron grows more cunning and more brutishly violent as he begins to slaughter SCORES of Autobots across the years

• The Autobots, under the swift approval of Earth's leaders, construct Autobot City to better defend against Megatron and his Decepticons

Darkest Hour

• In the year 2005, Megatron and his troops prepare to finally finish the war by not only destroying The Ark, but also raiding Autobot City, which turned out to be an Autobot Titan called Metroplex

• Megatron failed to raid the city, leaving him fatally wounded by the Titan. However, MANY Autobot and Decepticon lives were lost, not to mention the deaths of many civillians

• Among the Decepticon casualties were Sky-Byte (due to a battle against Springer), Lugnut (due to a last-minute sacrifice that shook the entire battlefield thanks to an overcharged Punch of Kill Everything which, well, rose the death toll by a LOT), and Skywarp

• Megatron was never recovered by his fellow Decepticons despite their best attempts and died of his injuries, eventually being found, revived, and reformatted into Galvatron by the Dark God Unicron

• The dead bodies of Thundercracker and Sunder were given new life, fused, and reformatted by Unicron into Scourge (whose design combines his G1 and RID 2001 appearances), aka the Nemesis Prime

• Sky-Byte and Skywarp's dead bodies are fused by Unicron and reformatted to become Cyclonus

• Galvatron and his revived bretheren reclaim leadership of the Decepticons and immediately go after Optimus Prime

• Optimus finally gets through to Galvatron after one long battle across three places: one in Giza, another in Unspace thanks to a secretly installed Space Bridge, and the last in the Cybertronian city of Kaon. Galvatron and Optimus then team up to stop Unicron from devouring the universe

• After a long amount of turmoil and before Unicron could get to Cybertron and Earth to feed himself, Optimus Prime sacrifices himself to kill Unicron and completely free his Heralds from his control

War's End

• In utter shock and pain, Galvatron saw just how far Optimus was willing to go to free him, his Decepticons, and everybody else from their common enemy. In complete disbelief and absolute insanity, along with the loss of will to continue his ways, he personally ends the Great War, fiercely abandons his troops, and left for the planet Thrull to sink deeper in his insanity

• Ultra Magnus is then encouraged to take his brother's place as Autobot Leader by Hot Rod and Kup, who serve as advisors for him

• Tarn learns of Galvatron's "change of heart" and eventually vows to "become the Decepticon that the universe had never seen before", swiftly taking control of Kaon on his own before building himself a throne of all of Grindcore's dead prisoners

• After his already bold movements, Tarn personally kills Starscream after locating him and his new Decepticon forces

• Tarn takes command of the Decepticons and starts viciously slaughtering his way to the now mentally-unstable Galvatron, fully ready to make Galvatron pay for what he did...

And that's it for right now. Hope you enjoyed this lengthy documentation of the direction i want to take this, taking inspiration from the old and incorperating the new into it. Take care, friends, and remember...

During June 2024, me and my friend were so obsessed with bear alpha

We used to play it every single day. She even gave me her password so I can do the vector boss fight on her account, LOL

Yeah I died in this clip, but the next day I end up killing vector on her account anyway

She also had a BIG FAT crush on mal bear, I'm not EVEN JOKING

Loxodromes, Part 1

Loxodromes (also known as rhumb lines) are a family of curves on the sphere . The family includes meridians (lines of constant longitude) and parallels (lines of constant latitude). The general loxodrome is a spherical spiral which intersects every meridian at the same angle. These curves are useful for navigation, because they describe the idealised course followed by a ship that maintains a constant compass bearing.

The navigator and scientist Thomas Harriot was an early investigator of the loxodrome; he was the first to rectify it (find a mathematical expression for its length) and among the first to rectify any curve. I'm planning to make another post about his method (based on a description in Robin Arianrhod's biography of him). First, though, I'm going to try to give an account of the loxodrome using modern calculus. (I'm leaning on a pretty good treatment on the atractor.pt website.)

The task of deriving the formula for the loxodrome is made much easier by having the right mathematical tools. In this case, the tools are the notion of a parameterised space curve, a vector-valued function, spherical polar coordinates, Cartesian coordinates, and basic differential and integral calculus.

A space curve, parameterised by the variable \(t\), is a function \(\gamma:\,I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{3}\), where \(I\subseteq\mathbb{R}\) is an interval, that associates a point \(\gamma\left(t\right)\in\mathbb{R}^{3}\) to each value of a parameter \(t\in I\).

As a first example, consider a meridian as a space curve. We'll use spherical polar coordinates with radius \(r\), longitude \(\theta\) and colatitude \(\varphi\). (Colatitude is latitude \(- \frac{\pi}{2}\): latitude measured from the North Pole.)

The equation of a meridian at longitude \(\theta_p\), as a function of \(\varphi\), is

\[m(\varphi) = (r\cos(\theta_p)\sin(\varphi),r\sin(\theta_p)\sin(\varphi),r\cos(\varphi))\]

The range of \(\varphi\) is \(]0,\pi[\).

Consider a loxodrome \(\ell_\alpha\) that intersects the meridians at angle \(\alpha\).

A fixed point \(P\) on \(\ell_\alpha\) has coordinates \((r, \theta_p, \varphi_p)\).

The fine article on atractor.pt starts with the case of \(\alpha = \frac{\pi}{2} + n+n\pi\), for some \(n\in\mathbb{Z}\). This example covers the loxodromes that coincide with parallels of latitude, and it's a fine warm-up, but not very revealing. Such loxodromes are most straightfordwardly thought of as being parameterized by longitude, \(\theta\).

The general loxodrome, with a spherical spiral form, corresponds to the case \(\alpha \neq \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi, n\in\mathbb{Z}\).

In this case, the parameterisation of \(\ell_{\alpha}\) is given as a function of colatitude. Because of the nature of the spherical spiral, there is a just one point of the curve at each (co)latitude. Longitude would not work as a parameterisation for a spherical spiral, or at least longitude conventionally limited to the range \(-\pi\) to \(\pi\) would not.

We define a function

\[\begin{array}{ccll} \ell_{\alpha}: & ]0\,,\pi[ & \longrightarrow & \mathbb{S}^{2} \\\\ & \varphi & \mapsto & \left(r\cos\left(\theta_\alpha\left(\varphi\right)\right) \sin\varphi, r\sin\left(\theta_\alpha\left(\varphi\right)\right), r\cos\varphi\right),\end{array}\]

The next step is to find the formulas of the tangents to both the loxodrome \(\ell_\alpha\(\varphi)\) and the meridian \(m(\varphi)\). This is achieved by componentwise differentiation.

\[\begin{array}{rccl}\ell_{\alpha}^{\prime}(\varphi_{P}) & = & & r\,\theta'_\alpha\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\left(-\sin\left(\theta_{P}\right)\sin\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\,,\,\cos\left(\theta_{P}\right)\sin\left(\varphi_{P}\right),0\right)\\\\ & & + & r\left(\cos\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\cos\left(\theta_{P}\right)\,,\,\cos\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\,\sin\left(\theta_{P}\right)\,,\,-\sin\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\right)\end{array}\] and \[m'(\varphi_{P})=r\left(\cos\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\cos\left(\theta_{P}\right)\,,\,\cos\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\,\sin\left(\theta_{P}\right)\,,\,-\sin\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\right)\,.\]

These angle between these two tangents is \(\alpha\). Thus

\[\cos\alpha=\frac{\ell_{\alpha}^{\prime}\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\,|\,m'\left(\varphi_{P}\right)}{\Vert\ell_{\alpha}^{\prime}\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\Vert\times\Vert m'\left(\varphi_{P}\right)\Vert}\,.\]

After some calculating, we get

\[\cos\alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+[\theta_{\alpha}^{\prime}(\varphi_{P})]^2sin^2(\varphi_{P})}}\]

Isolating \(\theta_{\alpha}^\prime(\varphi_{P})\), we have

\[\theta'_\alpha(\varphi_{P}) = \pm\frac{\tan\alpha}{\sin\left(\varphi_{P}\right)}\]

(This solution is only possible because \(\cos\alpha\) is not \(0\) and \(\varphi\in\ ]0, \pi[\).)

It is now possible to integrate this expression with respect to \(\varphi\) to get a formula for \(\theta_\alpha(\varphi)\): choosing to integrate \(-\frac{\tan\alpha}{\sin\left(\varphi_{P}\right)}\), the formula is \(\theta_\alpha(\varphi)=\tan\alpha\ln\left(\cot\frac{\varphi}{2}\right)+k\), for some constant \(k\in\mathbb{R}\). Since \(\theta_\alpha(\varphi_{P})=\theta_{P}\), we get \(k=\theta_{P}-\tan\alpha\ln\left(\cot\frac{\varphi_{P}}{2}\right)\).

Therefore, if \(\alpha\neq\frac{\pi}{2}+n\pi\), with \(n\in\mathbb{Z}\), then a parametrisation of \(\ell_{\alpha}\) is given by:

\[\begin{array}{ccll}\ell_{\alpha}: & ]0\,,\pi[ & \longrightarrow & \mathbb{S}^{2}\\\\ & \varphi & \mapsto & \left(r\cos\left(\theta_\alpha\left(\varphi\right)\right)\sin\varphi\,,\,r\sin\left(\theta_\alpha\left(\varphi\right)\right)\sin\varphi\,,\, r\cos\varphi\right)\end{array}\,,\] with \(\theta_\alpha(\varphi)=\theta_{P}+\tan\alpha\left[\ln\left(\cot\frac{\varphi}{2}\right)-\ln\left(\cot\frac{\varphi_{P}}{2}\right)\right]\).

This result is less advanced than the formula for the loxodrome that Wikipedia gives. The calculation is "elementary" in the sense that it avoids hyperbolic trig functions and the Gudermannian function (whatever that is). Elementary doesn't mean simple.

[road-breakin-slasher]

A billion-years-old Vector Prime has just alerted me that there is a timeline confliction between HoiPoi 22024.01 Zeta and HoiPoi 22024.02 Zeta, and HoiPoi 12021.14 Alpha, and is regarding Sasha's introduction.

What happened here is: Sasha has been introduced to Billi...twice. Which is something that I underlooked.

Perhaps because the reason is I didn't watch HoiPoi 12021.14 Alpha first before I started writing. How stupid I am. Like Billi.

Me and Vector Prime are starting to address on how can we recorrect this contradiction right away. Uhhhhhgh...! I hate being a Billi, even if I'm a care bear.

(And in case you wonder what are those addresses I mentioned there, they are the stream address of Somewhere Only We Know chapters 1 and 2, and 'I'm A Problem Solver, Too', respectively.)

Personality

Vector is a pretty stoic and study-oriented individual. His intelligence is rivaled by only a few other bears in the mandem, and is constantly studying and learning new things. His deep investment into his research has often made others mistakenly view him as a constantly stressed bear who has no time for anyone or any nonsense. This is, however, very untrue. For starters, he holds no opposition to anyone or the idea of friendship. In fact, he has a large group of friends and peers he hangs out with regularly. He also has a jokey side to him, as he has cracked quite a few jokes during work with his peers.

Hobbies

Of everything he puts his research into, he appreciates everything within "The Arts". From music, to stage productions, to paintings and creative writing, Vector enjoys viewing and partaking in them. He finds these things to be stress relievers since things like mathematics and science tend to bring great amounts of tension for him. Of all of these hobbies, he enjoys creative writing and music the most. He has written multiple short stories and poems for his own leisure, but he only released them to his closest friends. He has also written a few sonatas for cello (his favorite/signature instrument), and two of which had received premieres around the city.

Fears

Being involved in science, he has seen his fair share of new viruses and bacteria. When handling this subject matter, in the back of his mind he always fears the worst: A potential outbreak infecting hundreds of thousands of people. The recent pandemic was a nightmare come true. As a result, he was unable to watch the news for a very long period of time.

Things He Likes:

-Sleek Decor

-Classical Music

-Black Licorice

-Puzzle Games

-Stargazing

Things He Dislikes:

-Clutter

-Baggy Clothes

-Poorly Written Stories

-Neon/Fluorescent Colors (They give him a headache)

-Long Periods of Inactivity
