Anti-Vocationist League

The Anti-Vocationist League are a guerilla group from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

"We are the Judean People's Front crack suicide squad. Suicide squad! Attack!"

The Anti-Vocationist League (AVL) stands in opposition to the Functionist Council, supporting the freedom of the oppressed. Many of them have "redundant" alt-modes, such as data-sticks, the Lunabots from the astro class, and those who have altered themselves to look like the fabled Useless One.

The Functionist Universe

In a universe where Megatron never came to exist, the Great War never occurred. The AVL grew into a massive dissident movement and a perpetual thorn in the side of the Functionist Council. Twelve-of-Twelve and his Functionaries were rounding up AVL dissidents when they encountered the universally-displaced crewmembers of the Lost Light and naturally assumed they were simply more or the rabble-rousers to be arrested. Other AVL members, led by Clicker, attempted a rescue, but only succeeded in proving they were terrible at the whole resistance-fighter thing, needing to be saved by the Lost Light crew. Clicker then revealed the AVL's base of operations was Cyberutopia. Anomie

Or at least, that's what it was called - in actuality, it was the city of Kalis.
