Synopsis
[edit]Date Index 316.258 AU
Inside the Wrecker Command Base, Apelinq remains in solitude, having heard no word from any of the other Wreckers. He fears the worst for Rodimus and the others, and remains haunted by the grim possibility that he might be the only living Transformer left on Cybertron, now that Megatron has seemingly eradicated the planet's entire populace in under a stellar cycle.
Featured characters
[edit](Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
Notes
[edit]Continuity notes
[edit]- Rodimus is referred to as "the last of the Templars". The previously-released "VEHICON ALERT!" referred to Rodimus as a member of an "order" thought destroyed. Said order would later be revealed in The Wreckers #1 to be a group called the Matrix Templars.
- By now, it is clear that Megatron has fully conquered Cybertron, reflecting the status quo at the start of Beast Machines. Presumably, his virus has already been let loose upon the planet, but like the previous chapter, there still has been no mention of the virus as of yet.
- Like in Journal 4, Apelinq mentions that it's been "less than a stellar cycle" since Megatron first began his takeover of Cybertron, the first signs of which were terrorist attacks first mentioned back in Journal 1.
Errors
[edit]- When Apelinq's War Journals was added back to BotCon Online in early January 2006 (after it inexplicably disappeared in a site update made on May 11, 2003), the ellipsis that originally ended the text of this entry's second-to-last sentence (which came after the word "myself") was distorted into an "Ö", and has remained uncorrected to this day.
Real-world references
[edit]- The use of the word "Templars" to refer to the order that Rodimus is a part of is based on the Knights Templar, a Catholic military order from the Middle Ages.
