Beast Wars: Uprising Trans-Mutate is precious and needs a TV appearance.

Who am I?

Hi TFwiki goers, Evil Tree here.

After frequenting this wiki for a while and getting my share of lore and laughs I figured it was time for me to make my own account and help out. Thinking I may try and beef up some Cyberverse pages that are in need of it, or at the very least add to the quote pages.

Appropriate reactions to seeing prick Prowl.

It costs 400,000 Shanix to fire this weapon for twelve nanoklicks.

First TF toy: Hightower (RID). Didn't know who he was at the time but he'll always have a special place in my heart. Plus I always found it funny how he has a huge cannon as his main and a teeny-tiny pistol as his sub.
First TF show: Beast Wars. My first introduction to Transformers, still my favourite show and thanks to it I will always be a CGI apologist.
Favourite Character: Dinobot (BW). At the time he was the most complex character my little boy mind knew at the time and, I am unashamed to say, will always be my first thought when I hear the word "Dinobot".
Unpopular opinion: I believe Thunderblast deserves another chance. Say what you want about her you have to admit she's pretty unique among female Transformers, personality and motivation wise, and she had some pretty fun scenes in the show. Would love to see her again in Transformers media, spruce up her origin story, make her a little less shellformer-ish and she could do really well. I'm picturing her as a Camien, tired of her planets strict rules and traditions who joined the Decepticons for freedom, thrills and to be alongside Megatron.
FIRRIB or FIBRIR?: I'm in the FIRRIB camp, partly due to the cartoon and partly on the images the names invoke. The name Frenzy to me sounds aggressive, violent, conjuring up images of blood and red with it. Rumble sounds more muted, more subtle, brings to mind more neutral and less jarring colours like blue. I'm not too fussed as to what colour scheme a show/comic/etc decides upon however, just that they're consistent with it.

Lore Ideas

Cybertron mind, body and soul unification: One thing I've been formulating in my mind is a way to unify the lore of the Matrix of Leadership, the AllSpark, Vector Sigma and others into a coherent whole. Might as well brainstorm some ideas here. My basic idea is that these represent physical and metaphorical aspects of Primus himself.

• Cybertron AKA Primus's body: Self explanatory in this day and age. From his physical form the forms of all his children take shape, sharing his combination of strength and mutability that all Cybertronians possess.
  • Cybertronians made of the matter of Cybertron will be both tough and able to freely select their alt-mode at birth, letting their sparks decide. Ones not made of the matter of Cybertron, e.g. earth vehicles, will still be though but likely bound to transform into those vehicles.
• Vector Sigma AKA Primus's mind: Primus's thought and memory became that of the whole race, both in life and death. The thoughts, knowledge and experience of a Cybertronian gets stored in V.S. when they die and, with the correct device, can be viewed by the living.
  • In it's simplest form it's a supercomputer like no other, able to process insane amounts of data and calculations. At it's height it's an information bank containing all the knowledge of the race. Combining these two functions allows V.S. to create the coding, formatting and programming of entire beings, drawing on it's wealth of knowledge and huge computing capacity.
• The AllSpark AKA Primus's soul/spark: Primus's own spark that gave him life, emotion, a sense of self now kindles the lives, feelings and selves of a whole race. Existing as energy, traveling the planet via natural groundbridges akin to veins it sows the planet with life and energy.
  • In it's simplest form it's an unmatched power source. At it's height it can imbue almost anything with life and a spark. However, uncontrolled use of this ability will result in said life being driven by instinct alone and be bound by the form the life inhabits. Proper control or channeling is needed.

Drawing inspiration from Cyberverse I have deduced a method of new Cybertronian creation using these: The AllSpark provides the spark and lifeforce. Vector Sigma provides the AllSpark with the instructions as to what to build. Cybertron provides the fundamental materials to make the lifeform. All combined creates natural Cybertronian life.

(Not quite related but I figured I'd mention it)

• The Matrix of Leadership AKA Primus's will: The more mysterious of the relics, able to bestow a sense of purpose, authority and clearness of mind in it's wearer, as if Primus himself were speaking. If the need is dire and in the name of Primus it is capable of performing amazing acts and light even the darkest hour.
  • In it's simplest form it gives the user enhanced wisdom and leadership abilities. At it's height it can bend reality to a limited degree and range, Primus's will into existance. But it must not be used liberally, there's no guarantee that Primus's will aligns to your own. Is it his will to kill Unicron? Absolutely. Is it his will to save a human kid from falling? Probably not. It's not good to rely on the good will of a higher power to solve all your problems, and if it fails it exposes the matrix to attack or theft.
