All right, so I've been playing around with this idea for a bit and I'm willing to give it a shot. Basically, my dream job is to one day write for some future Transformers series. Until then, I'm stuck with that interesting realm known as "fanfiction." And, being an avid writer of such fiction, I've decided to take the idea of "some future transformers series" and make it a reality.
The result: TRANSFORMERS: ROLL OUT (premiering sometime later this year)
Transformers: Roll Out (or T:RO) is going to be that "some future series." A continuity I've created for Transformers in an attempt to see what I can and cannot do with the storyline. It'll be published in written "episodes" (basically chapters of a book) on several websites, including here.
The story: Cybertron is in political turmoil. A rogue gladiator named Megatron has been preaching the ideals of equal rights for all to the lower-caste workers of the planet. Miners, soldiers, and gladiators are all beginning to answer this gladiator-turned-revolutionary's call to peacefully reform Cybertron's government.
However, elsewhere in the universe, a small team of Autobots working maintenance detail in some small, backwater colony are listening to these events unfold just outside the space bridge they keep in order. It is then that Megatron's ship, fleeing battle with Cybertronian forces, passes through the bridge. Suddenly realizing that Megatron's formerly peaceful movement has gone violent, the group attempts to flee battle with their short-range transwarp drive. Megatron stows aboard in order to subdue the ship just as they jump four lightyears away into some even more remote planet.
Their ship crashes, but the Autobot's escape beforehand and are scattered across the globe. Megatron is brutally injured in the fight and dredged from the bottom of a lake by the US military, who have their own plans for the Cybertronian...
The main story then picks up four years later. The Autobots are trying to stay hidden from sight and somehow get a distress call back to Cybertron. Meanwhile, the Decepticon's, lead by Megatron's political adviser Shockwave, continue to search for their missing leader in order to inspire hope to the revolting masses back on Cybertron.
Anyway, that's the gist of it so far. Characters include:
Autobots: Optimus Prime, Hot Shot, Red Alert, Ironhide, and I'm considering either Flareup, Jetfire, and/or Jazz.
Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, Soundwave, Skywarp, Lugnut, and considering a few others as well.
Unaffiliated: Sideways, Jetstorm, the Vehicons
So that's the plan so far. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd definitely like to hear them! Feedback wanted and highly appreciated! Thanks for reading!
