The Valley: An Alliance?
Reviewing the narrator's words Brainstorm realizes he has walked in on a much larger clusterfuck than he dared dream. "Oh man what a mess this is. This guy is utterly clueless about Unicron..." He mumbled to himself. Assembling all the data on Unicron and all prominent universal streams battles with him take place he prepares to transmit the data. "Since I have it on good authority from above you're not really enjoying this story I'll warn you, that was the short version and the long version is an even bigger clusterfuck. I hope you won't regret your request but here is the data." The files so huge and convoluted it takes several minutes to complete the transfer.
"You know I'm disappointed my masterfully plotted out ambush won't be required." Megatron quipped.
"Oh don't worry Joe, the way this day has gone I'm sure you'll get your chance. Many times over... With more hilarious results to boot. For now we focus on the task at hand."
"Yes, I'm sure you're right. I just got a little over excited at the prospect of a chance to show off my skills on someone worthy of them."
And so the waited for Rastun to come to terms with the mess he'd been handed. If such a thing is even possible.

The Meeting Place: The Story Of Unicron
"I am Overseer Agent Rohnosc Rastun, though I doubt both of you know about my organization. I gather you are already aware of my presence, which is why I chose to openly communicate. With that said, I must ask what your purpose here is."
With his theory all but confirmed Brainwave prepares to reveal the history of the greatest monster the Transformers multiverse has ever produced, well the greatest monster anyone wants to acknowledge anyways...
Megatron observes the behavior of the new mech studying its every move. "Hm, very clever. Making himself visible to mack contact but far enough away to minimize the chance of attack. He is very shrewd, if he can't be reasoned with me must destroy him quickly."
"Yes Joe, I agree." Adjusting his com signal to match Rastun Brainwave sends his reply. "I'm curious why you care what our intentions are but since I suspect we want the same thing I'll indulge you. We're here to prevent the spread of a deadly anomaly that once threatened our home multiverse with total annihilation. It was spawned by the death of one of our local deities who desires nothingness in the most literal sense of the word. His entire purpose is to destroy everything that exists leaving an empty void. Even in death this cannot be stopped. The anomaly is a cataclysmic black hole that devours all, I do mean that quite literally, and very nearly succeeded in doing that to our multiverse if not for his brother destroying it though this resulted in restoring his physical form. And now the singularity has returned here, in a place it never should have existed, and it shall merge with another anomaly in the near future amplifying its power to levels I dare not consider. Simply put if it is not stopped everything everywhere will be in danger."
Megatron subtly prepares to initiate his plan if the reply they get isn't acceptable and the pair waits for Rastun's response to the nightmare scenario presented to him.

Several miles outside Autobot City
Sighing Brainwave takes notice of another signal following them. One that can't be dealt with so easily. "Why does someone always have to complicate this mission?"
"Oh, we have another imbecile following us? How can you be sure?"
"Oh I don't know someone using dimensional transit similar to ours, coming out of it in the exact same spot we did, following the destruction we caused. Need I go on?"
Megatron couldn't argue with the conclusion unless one believed in coincidence and really what Transformer was dumb enough to believe in that? "This obviously isn't going to be as simple as beating the scrap out of them like those losers back there. Let me do the plotting."
Brainwave considered the option but decided to err on the side of caution and see what the mysterious tracker wanted figuring if they followed the Transtech dimensional transit they may be interested in minimizing anomalies thus making them useful. "No, we'll see what they want first. I have a hunch they might be useful. Make a back up plan obviously but don't act till it's clear we can't settle things amicably."
"Did the "narrator" say something interesting I should know about?" Asked Megatron curious what prompted the Transtech to take such a gamble.
"No, not yet. This is simply a hunch on my part just like my hunch bringing you would be useful. We'll find a place to stop and wait for our pursuer to catch up outside of the Titans operational area."
Megatron couldn't help but be amused how reckless Brainwave was being but complied with his wishes. Half an hour later the pair found a valley that would provide cover from primitive air surveillance but allow the mystery individual find them and they waited as Megatron worked out the fine details of his plan as Brainwave hoped he wouldn't have to use it. Maybe after this was dealt with they could finally look for a site to set up a god damn base but the way this day is going that seems rather unlikely...

Unicron Investigation Team Touchdown
Date: Unknown
Appearing in a bright flash of light Brainwave and Joe make their landing in an unknown yet strikingly familiar city. As the light fades they survey their surroundings for the first time in amazement.
"Well I can't say this is what I was expecting at all." The shock in Brainwave's voice evident. "Scans indicate we did make contact with the Unicron Singularity but... it only appears to be in its beginning stages at this point it time. This doesn't mesh with the readings in Axiom Nexus. I can only conclude we have been thrown back in time."
"Hm, I can only that means we are completely cut of from the Transtechs."
"Indeed Joe. Whatever happened, whatever is going to happen, it is up to us and us alone to stop it."
"I like the sound of that." Megatron said while snickering as he began his plotting. The potential of hijacking Unicron's power weighing heavily on his mind.
"You're a fool if you're really plotting that. The last sap that tried that got possessed." Brainwave walked off while continuing his scans paying little head to Megatron's ambitions. "This city..."
"At first glance it looks like a modified version of Autobot City but that would be absurd, yes."
"Absurd as it sounds it is Autobot City. Primax 984.17 Alpha to be precise. But clearly modified with technology from an unknown source. Not sure why they'd bother unless they were strapped for resources. In any case our first priority is setting up a base of opperations. Preferably away from here. The last thing we need is Lowtech Autobots getting in the way."
"Hey you!." An unknown voice echoed across the alley snapping Brainwave from his thoughts. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Studying the unknown mech Brainwave noted several things. First it was piloted by an organic, second it was using Lowtech Cybertronian technology. "Why exactly would they share their technology with a race as primitive as you? Do you even have FTL technology yet?"
"Silence Decepticon, I'm the one asking questions here!" The pilot's voice coming out as forceful as he could manage.
"How dare you try to brand me with such an arbitrary term. On my planet Autobot and Decepticon is a meaningless distinction. Don't try to lay Lowtech stupidity like that war they always have on me." Brainwave's patients for the primative quickly evaporating as Megatron laughed in the background.
"Look, you entered a Titan military base without clearance. You're both coming with me."
The indignant glare the pilot received from Brainwave made his blood run cold. "Listen here you stupid primitive, DO NOT tell me what to do. It was not my intention to land here and I will be going as soon as I decide where I want to go. I have no interest in your Lowtech city. Now begone!"
"I... I can't do that. I'm base security and I have my orders." His fear readily apparent.
"Oh please let me deal with the silly human, I owe them some payback. Yes!" Joe's sneer further terrifying the pilot.
"St...stop or I'll shoot!" Practically shivering in terror at this point.
"Oh enough of this." Declared Brainwave as he remote hacked and deactivated the mech. "Ignore the Lowtechs, we have far more pressing matters."
"As you wish." Grumbled Megatron as the pilot sat in his darkened cockpit completely in shock of what just transpired. Elsewhere another human watched in fascination at the pair you were so unconcerned with their security and so easily brushed off a security unit. "Most interesting. If their technology is advanced as he seems to be boasting we must have it so no one will ever dare challenge us again." His excitement was evident but he knew he must tread lightly for if their technology was as advanced as it seemed to be capturing them would be exceptionally hard. Especially if the leader of the team was a Decepticon. "Come on, let's get out of this stupid city." Brainwave declared. "Get me Los Betas. I have a job for them." The Titan's base commander smirking as he figured he'd be dealing with two birds with one stone. Getting rid of some useless idiots and gathering some necessary intel in the process.
The alien Cybertronians barreled through the city in their vehicle modes leaving base security off balance and confused. Anyone that had managed to line up a shot found their mobile suit disabled before they could pull the trigger. Others had no idea what they were looking for because of the communications disruptions caused by the mass hackings. This was something beyond their capabilities to deal with. It required someone special to deal with. It required an ace pilot! Sadly they weren't getting one...
"Preet, get ready for launch. You have a target." This is the moment Preet had been waiting for. A chance to prove his greatness, to prove the value of his ways. Sadly for Preet everything he thought was simply a set up. Something he'd learn eventually but not today.
"Alright Los Betas it's time to show the world what we can do! Time to make everyone that ever laughed at us eat their words! Move out." While the team cheered as they moved out every Titan that knew anything snickered at their confidence knowing they were about to get their asses kicked.
Brainwave and Megatron neared the exit of the city with no more resistance in sight. They thought they were home free until a cannon shot hit in front of them. "Halt evil doers!" Transforming they prepared for battle against the exceptionally odd looking mechs.
"You should just let us go if you know what's good for you. I have no interest in ridiculous primitives. If you force this I make no promises about your survival." For anyone with a semblance of sanity Brainwave's curt warning would have been considered but Preet was not a sane individual. He had been convinced he was an elite Titan pilot and he intended to prove it or die trying.
Drawing his sword Preet charged at Brainwave intent on cutting him in two. At the last second Brainwave caught the wrist of Preet's mech stopping the strike dead in its tracks. "You know this is really pathetic. Not only does your mech make you look like an imbecile it's weaker than a newborn protoform. Face it you're way out of your league kid." Delivering a swift kick to the torso Brainwave sent Preet's mech flying into a building all but flattening it. "I'm going to say it one more time, stand down if you know what's good for you."
All Preet could do was groan in pain having been caught completely off guard by the power of this unknown Cybertronian. It'd be a few minutes before he got his bearings. The rest of Los Betas prepared to charge in the name of their leader. "Well if you insist on being idiots we'll make you regret it." As the first two members of Los Betas made their charge Brainwave and Megatron pulled their guns and disabled them with a single shot each. The rest of Los Betas having the first clever idea of this deployment decided to swarm en mass from multiple directions. Sadly they were too slow and the Cybertronians dodged all their sword strikes with easy. One of the more strategic members took an opening to nail Megatron with a cannon shot while he was dodging a sword blow. Megatron took a single step back and laughed. "You're have to do far better than that weakling! Put some effort into it." Throughly enjoying himself toying with the helpless squadron not even bothering to counter attack.
Meanwhile Branwave had been disabling them with a combination of crack aiming, very crude close combat techniques, and nanite infusion as he avoided their attacks. "You know Joe, this would go a lot faster if you stopped dicking around and started KOing a few of them. Maybe with that spiffy sword I gave you..." By this point Megatron had stopped dodging completely realizing they couldn't hurt him at all. "Bah fine I'll stop playing around." Summoning his sword from transwarp space Megatron began downing them with equal ease and in short order the squad was completely disabled. "Primitives are such an irritant." Brainwave sighed. Preet woke up as Brainwave was checking his downed squad. Seeing Brainwave was off guard Preet made charged blind with rage. Before he even got to Brainwave he felt something else hit him, much harder than before. Megatron hadn't stopped paying attention and blindsided Preet mid charge not that Preet would have hurt Brainwave at all. It was just funny.
"You know I injected that stupid mech with nanites the first time I grabbed it right?" Brainwave said while making sure he injected them into the rest of the squad just in case.
"It's not like he was going to hurt you anyways I just found it amusing."
Having finished Brainwave looked at Megatron. "Whatever. Let's get out of here and find a place to set up a base." Transforming back to vehicle mode they left the city leaving 3 city blocks heavily damaged by their melee, all of Los Betas disabled by some means or another, and eleven security units remote hacked. The Titans would never forget this day and neither would Preet.

Day Of The Slam + 2 hours
Axiom Nexus
The halls of the Transtech Military Science Division are abuzz with activity. An event the likes of which has never been seen before has occurred. While such things have happened in the past this one is so far out of the norm it has astounded everyone. Brainwave, a young Transtech Scientist has been called before Shockwave for a special mission to investigate this shocking turn of events!
"Ah Brainwave, excellent response time."
"What is it you need of me Lord Shockwave?"
"I'm sure you're aware we have detected an unprecedented anomaly. It is unprecedented in was that make unprecedented sound insignificant."
"And I am to investigate it, yes I'm aware. What I am not aware of are the details about it."
Shockwave walks over to his office window and looks out at his subordinates.
"What I am about to tell you does not leave this room. The anomaly detected is giving off readings that match the Unicron Singularity..."
Shockwave turns to study Brainwave's reaction. Brainwave, in turn, jerks to attention.
"That's... absurd. Primus destroyed it."
"Yes Brainwave. But that alone is not what makes this even so exceptional. It has appeared in a place where it shouldn't be able to exist."
Quizzically Brainwave glaces at Shockwave.
"How so?"
"The readings are coming from outside the multiverse. I don't mean outside the mapped multiverse, I mean outside it entirely. And it appears to be merging with something else."
The confusion on the young Transtech's face would be humorous in other circumstances but not these.
"Brainwave, you are to lead a two man team to investigate and if necessary neutralize any threat caused by this event. If... if such a thing is even possible."
The gravity of the situation hitting on Brainwave steels himself to do his duty.
"I understand but I must ask, why me? Why not a more senior researcher? And why just two?"
"To be blunt you are currently expendable. And while you're expendable you are the most skilled of the non senior staff. In fact your skills already rival several of them. If you had been able to stay here I have no doubts you'd be one of the greatest scientists in Transtech history but fate has not allowed for such a thing. As for the number. As I said it is outside the multiverse. The power to send an entire scientific team with full security is... impractical. A two man team will have to suffice."
"I assume I'm allowed to pick my partner for this mission."
Shockwave walks back to his desk and sits down
"Yes, anyone you see fit that is below you in rank."
Calculating variables in his head Brainwave comes to a decision.
"I know exactly who I want for this mission, the Predacon that calls himself Joe."
Shockwave's reaction was exactly what you'd expect from hearing something so crazy it just might be genius.
"HIM? You are aware of exactly who he is right? Everything that he has done?"
"Yes, I am aware. He is the reason we had to refamiliarize ourselves with that universal stream. But the facts remain. He has had experience with Unicron, he is expendable as I doubt the multiverse would mourn his loss, he is available currently sitting in prison for the Key Incident."
"That is not to be spoken of in my presence!" Shockwave quickly interjected.
"My apologies my lord. There is one last reason I'd like to have him along if I may continue."
"Proceed." Shockwave bellowed sounding annoyed.
"His cunning. Against Unicron one can not underestimate the value of an abstract trait like that. Besides no one will care if I need to experiment on him."
Sighing Shockwave prepared to concede the point. "Your argument is logical even with his... checkered past. I will make the call but any consequences of this will be on your head."
Feeling pleased with this he allowed his ego to flare. "Of course Lord Shockwave, what kind of leader would I be if I did not accept responsibility for my decisions." Came Brainwave's reply as he got up to leave Shockwave's office.
"Watch that ego Brainwave, you haven't earned it yet and it just might bite you in the skid plate."
"I'll keep that in mind" Said brainwave gesturing over his soldier as he walked out.
Transtech Maximum Security Lockup + 2 hours 40 minutes
The warden awaits the arrival of the scientist who requested Joe's release.
"Ah you must be Brainwave."
Brainwave stops to study the warden.
"That's right. Do you need something of me?"
"Yes..." Fidgeting as he tries to come up with the words for his request. "I know Shockwave has cleared him for release and I don't have the authority to overturn his orders but I implore you... Whatever it is you're being sent to do pick someone else. He is one of the most dangerous criminals in the history of the multiverse!"
Making an annoyed expression Brainwave replies. "As I told Shockwave I am aware of who he is and what he's done. He has skills that will be useful for what I am tasked to do and that's all there is to it."
With a sour look on his face the warden concedes. "As you wish but you will be damned by the consequences of this! Follow me."
Walking down the many long corridors of prisoners that committed crimes grave enough to be locked away forever.
"Here he is, have fun with your monster..."
Glancing towards the warden one last time Brainwave left him with one last reassurance. "Trust me the situation is grave enough to take this gamble. That is all you need to know." and proceeded to enter the cell.
"Joe I presume..."
"Ha... ha... ha..." Came the sarcastic response.
"Don't blame me, you invented the name Joe Convoy"
His rage flaring Megatron replied. "That was simply to get the..."
"MacGuffin." Brainwave finished for him. "Yes, Megatron I'm aware. We had to study your history after you pulled that."
"What do you want Transtech?"
Brainwave approached the would be tyrant. "Your skills."
"I'm sorry, you're going to have to elaborate. I can't figure why you'd be interested in anything I can do."
"Because Megatron." Brainwave stopped and turned back towards the door. "You have experience with HIM."
"Oh, THAT GUY is causing problems again?" Megatron's curiosity getting the best of him.
"That's right. If you want the full details agree to help me. You will be given a full pardon and given a free trip off Axiom Nexus. No paper work, no lines, no memories of any of this. How does that grab you?"
"It grabs me just fine, yes. I assume there will be a reformatting for the mission. I am, after all, rather conspicuous."
"Of course, armament and all. We can't have a dinosaur walking around after all. I assume that is a yes?"
"Of course it is considering the alternative." Megatron bellows.
"Excellent, I'll have you escorted to reformatting at once. Shockwave has prepared the necessary information to be installed in the process. Do not speak of it to anyone until we are deployed."
"Oh you Transtechs and your secrets. One might get the wrong impression of you, yes."
Transtech Military Dimensional Transit + 3 hours 20 minutes
"How are you adjusting to your "new" body."
"An upgraded version of my old exoframe, very nice."
"Alright, we need to lay out some ground rules before we leave. You will answer to Joe Convoy or simply Joe."
Megatron looking at him in disbelief. "You must be kidding."
"No, I'm not." Came the matter of fact reply
"You're not funny."
"Humor was not my intent. Megatron is a very dangerous name. The fact that you hate Joe is simply a bonus."
Sarcastically. "I'm sure."
"Moving on, the shoulder missile. It's disabled. Don't bother trying it."
"Oh now you're just being an ass." Frustration getting to Megatron.
"Oh come now you didn't think we'd just let you run around with a weapon that powerful did you? Be practical. If it is needed I will reactivate it. The cannon will still work so get over it."
"Is there anything else I should know?"
"That depends, do you think the sentient safeguard we implanted in you to make sure you behave is important?"
"I'm going to remember this Transtech,"
"I'm sure you'll get over it when we delete this portion of your memory unless you actually want to remember prison. Just behave and don't try to mess with it and everything will be fine. I'm reasonably sure we've accounted for every method you might try to disable it."
"I can already tell you're going to be as insufferable as Tarantulas."
"Indeed. One last thing before we go. This is Unicron we're potentially dealing with. Don't be surprised if we don't land at the target time."
And so it begins...
Axiom Nexus
The halls of the Transtech Military Science Division are abuzz with activity. An event the likes of which has never been seen before has occurred. While such things have happened in the past this one is so far out of the norm it has astounded everyone. Brainwave, a young Transtech Scientist has been called before Shockwave for a special mission to investigate this shocking turn of events!
"Ah Brainwave, excellent response time."
"What is it you need of me Lord Shockwave?"
"I'm sure you're aware we have detected an unprecedented anomaly. It is unprecedented in was that make unprecedented sound insignificant."
"And I am to investigate it, yes I'm aware. What I am not aware of are the details about it."
Shockwave walks over to his office window and looks out at his subordinates.
"What I am about to tell you does not leave this room. The anomaly detected is giving off readings that match the Unicron Singularity..."
Shockwave turns to study Brainwave's reaction. Brainwave, in turn, jerks to attention.
"That's... absurd. Primus destroyed it."
"Yes Brainwave. But that alone is not what makes this even so exceptional. It has appeared in a place where it shouldn't be able to exist."
Quizzically Brainwave glaces at Shockwave.
"How so?"
"The readings are coming from outside the multiverse. I don't mean outside the mapped multiverse, I mean outside it entirely. And it appears to be merging with something else."
The confusion on the young Transtech's face would be humorous in other circumstances but not these.
"Brainwave, you are to lead a two man team to investigate and if necessary neutralize any threat caused by this event. If... if such a thing is even possible."
The gravity of the situation hitting on Brainwave steels himself to do his duty.
"I understand but I must ask, why me? Why not a more senior researcher? And why just two?"
"To be blunt you are currently expendable. And while you're expendable you are the most skilled of the non senior staff. In fact your skills already rival several of them. If you had been able to stay here I have no doubts you'd be one of the greatest scientists in Transtech history but fate has not allowed for such a thing. As for the number. As I said it is outside the multiverse. The power to send an entire scientific team with full security is... impractical. A two man team will have to suffice."
"I assume I'm allowed to pick my partner for this mission."
Shockwave walks back to his desk and sits down
"Yes, anyone you see fit that is below you in rank."
Calculating variables in his head Brainwave comes to a decision.
"I know exactly who I want for this mission, the Predacon that calls himself Joe."
Shockwave's reaction was exactly what you'd expect from hearing something so crazy it just might be genius.
"HIM? You are aware of exactly who he is right? Everything that he has done?"
"Yes, I am aware. He is the reason we had to refamiliarize ourselves with that universal stream. But the facts remain. He has had experience with Unicron, he is expendable as I doubt the multiverse would mourn his loss, he is available currently sitting in prison for the Key Incident."
"That is not to be spoken of in my presence!" Shockwave quickly interjected.
"My apologies my lord. There is one last reason I'd like to have him along if I may continue."
"Proceed." Shockwave bellowed sounding annoyed.
"His cunning. Against Unicron one can not underestimate the value of an abstract trait like that. Besides no one will care if I need to experiment on him."
Sighing Shockwave prepared to concede the point. "Your argument is logical even with his... checkered past. I will make the call but any consequences of this will be on your head."
Feeling pleased with this he allowed his ego to flare. "Of course Lord Shockwave, what kind of leader would I be if I did not accept responsibility for my decisions." Came Brainwave's reply as he got up to leave Shockwave's office.
"Watch that ego Brainwave, you haven't earned it yet and it just might bite you in the skid plate."
"I'll keep that in mind" Said brainwave gesturing over his soldier as he walked out.
Transtech Maximum Security Lockup + 2 hours 40 minutes
The warden awaits the arrival of the scientist who requested Joe's release.
"Ah you must be Brainwave."
Brainwave stops to study the warden.
"That's right. Do you need something of me?"
"Yes..." Fidgeting as he tries to come up with the words for his request. "I know Shockwave has cleared him for release and I don't have the authority to overturn his orders but I implore you... Whatever it is you're being sent to do pick someone else. He is one of the most dangerous criminals in the history of the multiverse!"
Making an annoyed expression Brainwave replies. "As I told Shockwave I am aware of who he is and what he's done. He has skills that will be useful for what I am tasked to do and that's all there is to it."
With a sour look on his face the warden concedes. "As you wish but you will be damned by the consequences of this! Follow me."
Walking down the many long corridors of prisoners that committed crimes grave enough to be locked away forever.
"Here he is, have fun with your monster..."
Glancing towards the warden one last time Brainwave left him with one last reassurance. "Trust me the situation is grave enough to take this gamble. That is all you need to know." and proceeded to enter the cell.
"Joe I presume..."
"Ha... ha... ha..." Came the sarcastic response.
"Don't blame me, you invented the name Joe Convoy"
His rage flaring Megatron replied. "That was simply to get the..."
"MacGuffin." Brainwave finished for him. "Yes, Megatron I'm aware. We had to study your history after you pulled that."
"What do you want Transtech?"
Brainwave approached the would be tyrant. "Your skills."
"I'm sorry, you're going to have to elaborate. I can't figure why you'd be interested in anything I can do."
"Because Megatron." Brainwave stopped and turned back towards the door. "You have experience with HIM."
"Oh, THAT GUY is causing problems again?" Megatron's curiosity getting the best of him.
"That's right. If you want the full details agree to help me. You will be given a full pardon and given a free trip off Axiom Nexus. No paper work, no lines, no memories of any of this. How does that grab you?"
"It grabs me just fine, yes. I assume there will be a reformatting for the mission. I am, after all, rather conspicuous."
"Of course, armament and all. We can't have a dinosaur walking around after all. I assume that is a yes?"
"Of course it is considering the alternative." Megatron bellows.
"Excellent, I'll have you escorted to reformatting at once. Shockwave has prepared the necessary information to be installed in the process. Do not speak of it to anyone until we are deployed."
"Oh you Transtechs and your secrets. One might get the wrong impression of you, yes."
Transtech Military Dimensional Transit + 3 hours 20 minutes
"How are you adjusting to your "new" body."
"An upgraded version of my old exoframe, very nice."
"Alright, we need to lay out some ground rules before we leave. You will answer to Joe Convoy or simply Joe."
Megatron looking at him in disbelief. "You must be kidding."
"No, I'm not." Came the matter of fact reply
"You're not funny."
"Humor was not my intent. Megatron is a very dangerous name. The fact that you hate Joe is simply a bonus."
Sarcastically. "I'm sure."
"Moving on, the shoulder missile. It's disabled. Don't bother trying it."
"Oh now you're just being an ass." Frustration getting to Megatron.

And now my OC
Name: (Transtech) Brainwave
Gender: Male
Age: 1,000 years
Height: 7 meters
Weight: 11 tons
Rank/Title: Junior Military Scientist
Special: Advanced genius alien robot from a universe better than yours!
Bio: Recent graduate of the Transtech Academy of Sciences, top of his class. Aspires to be the greatest scientist in Transtech history surpassing even Shockwave after hearing about all his great discoveries century after century. All instructors remarked he has incredible skill as well as an incredible ego. Sent to investigate an anomaly with readings similar to the Unicron Singularity in a place it shouldn't exist. Being the most promising Junior member of the Transtech Military Science Division he was deemed perfect for this mission due to his high skill level which already rivals most senior members without risking anyone involved in important "research". It is currently unclear where his ethics lie.
Stats:
Strength: 30
Armor: 45
Firepower: 45
Performance: 42
Mobility: 42
Energy Output: 54
Sensors: 42
Weapons:
Multipurpose Blaster: Comes with a multitude of settings ranging from stun to vaporize. Less lethal setting are generally preferred to data collection purposes. Crude by Transtech standards but effective enough while not risking capture of more advanced weapons technology.
Scientific Package: Various types of scanners and nanite probes that can be used in a verity of manors including debilitating sound waves and disrupting the targets nervous system and even blocking the flow of bodily fluids on top of usual data gathering abilities.
Abilities:General transformation abilities. Is capable of identifying Transformer related anomalies, technologies, and individuals from well known/high risk universal streams on sight. High level hacking ability of non Cybertronian machines. Also claims to hear something called the "narrator" though most with no experience with Axiom Nexus generally think Transtechs are insane because of this.

So I guess it's time to throw my canon character out there
Name: Joe Convoy
Gender: Male
Age: Old, quite possible a few million years
Type: Real
Height: 9 meters/ 2.98 meters in height, 7.64 meters in length in vehicle mode
Weight: 21 tons
Rank/Title: Renegade Predacon Commander/(temporary) Overlord of Cybertron
Special: Potential threat to the franchise in more ways than one.
Bio: Illegal visitor to Axiom Nexus of questionable repute, first claiming to be a Prime and later a Megatron. After the silliness with Unicron in the Universe Wars he somehow ended up on Axiom Nexus from all his dimension hopping and eventually ran afoul of the morally ambiguous Transtech Shockwave and eventually got tossed in jail for attempting to use a MacGuffin to conquer the Transtech home world. Offered a full pardon and "free" trip out of Axiom Nexus in return for assistance involving potential Unicron related threat due to his involvement in the Universe Wars.
Other past actions cataloged after the "Key Incident" include attempting to erase an entire timeline without considering the consequences, liberal MacGuffin use (what a shocker), and enslaving his version of Cybertron. All the while dealing with the plots of Unicron's spawn and interference from The Vok who claim to be guardians of The One (we think they're full of shit but whatever) which is rather impressive for a dude that started with a crew of 5 most of which were idiots and one being the above mentioned spawn of Unicron. Has also suffered numerous humiliating defeats in contrast to his impressive success.
Stats:
Strength: 49
Armor: 50
Firepower: 50
Performance: 42
Mobility: 30
Energy Output: 40
Sensors: 39
Weapons:
ICBM: Large long range shoulder mounted missile of Cybertronian design. High destructive but impractical against small, fast moving targets. Disabled by Transtechs upon reformatting due to Joe's morally questionable nature though it can be rearmed if the need arises.
Particle Accelerator Cannon: In typical Cybertronian logic the ICBM also houses a particle accelerator. One can only assume this is the source of the missiles destructive power otherwise the thing makes no sense. Though far weaker than the ICBM the cannon is powerful enough to down most Cybertronians in a single hit with the toughest generally taking one or two more making it the main weapon of choice for most situations despite its charge up time. Also capable of firing on a weaker rapid fire setting without fully deploying thus negating charge time but is generally pointless due to the arm gun.
Arm Mounted Gun: A small...ish rapid fire gun attached to what can only be described as a shield on Joe's right arm. Though lacking the one hit kill potential of the particle cannon it is capable of leaving very painful, often times debilitating, wounds on Cybertronians. Repeated strikes can be fatal. Primarily used as suppression fire to line up cannon shots.
Missile Pods: Two leg mounted missile pods holding 5 missiles each. Additional missiles are stored in transwarp space but the energy cost for repeated rearming is too extensive for spamming though with Transtech upgrades the number of times it can be done is higher than normal. Generally used as an emergency distraction tactic.
Energy Sword: Ultra sharp energy blade designed to slice Cybertronian armor with ease slipped into the reformatting because why the hell not? you never know when you need a close combat weapon. Stored in transwarp space until needed. Capable of blocking any known type of energy. A mace was considered but deemed too G1.
Abilities: General transformation abilities. Master manipulator and strategic genius. More fuel economical than standard Transformers.
Signature Moves: Xanatos Gambit. Monologuing.
