Hey there man, first of all I love seeing people passionate about stuff I do and don't be afraid to critique me on it, I try to take on board a lot of what people say  

About Cybertron; I love the Armada series! That's the one I grew up with but that was LONG ago haha. I have the original G1 movie on dvd and my lil bro loves to watch it; unfortunately I wasn't really aware that Cybertron was supposed to be in another galaxy at least I can't recall it now. I like to research as much as possible about all the different types of universe's but my time is limited as well, it's possible that I could have read about it somewhere but decided otherwise on it. I feel like having them in the Milky Way set's up some cool stories, some of which I've already dabbled in. I might end up moving it outside of the galaxy with this knowledge though, far out of reach and mysterious would suit it's stories better.

btw I intend on using the WFC & FOC Transformers for this universe

As far as the Metroid planet's go, I have to admit that I'm not very well versed in Metroid Lore unfortunately Like I said I try to research as much as possible and ask friends for advice about certain universe's but juggling all of these is difficult for obvious reasons and no one person could possibly know everything about em all, that's why I like taking advice from other people and encourage comments like these Amalgamation was intended to be a universe for everyone, that's why I take on other people's OC's and use them in the stories. I played a few Metroid games a kid at friends houses but never owned a Nintendo device, I only had a PS2 and Xbox. I included Metroid for a multi-tude of reasons though, I thought it had rich lore would make a good contribution, it has a badass female protagonist that would help diversify the cast of the Vindicates AND I think it's design aesthetics are cool. I researched the planets as best as I could and determined that Phaaze was outside of the galaxy so I put it there, I wasn't aware that it should of been just beyond the rim, sorry haha

Also there was nothing here to indicate why that the Feds would attack the UEG, they're on the same side.

the UNSC is the main military force of Earth and her colonies, the UEG being the canon government of this universe, but it's built differently to the Halo lore as it incorporates a lot of different aesthetics and structure's

amalgamation100.deviantart.com…

The Galactic Federation in this universe, is a para-military group that owns it's own colonies and stuff. So is the IMC from Titanfall and a lot of others I haven't gotten around to implementing yet

amalgamation100.deviantart.com…

it protects and enforces it's own territory. I did it this way to fit in every universes, I couldn't think of a better way to do it The Galactic Fed wasn't amalgamated into the military like ME's alliance or Titanfall's Pilots and Mechs because I didn't think it's aesthetics would work well with those other three.

Now about Zebes, when I researched it I was under the impression that it was the home of the Zebesian Space Pirates, right? Forgive me if I'm wrong. The reason I decided to put it in the Terminus Systems was because they're a lawless part of the galaxy where all criminals, thieves and pirates congregate and I just thought it'd suit it to be there, I also put in the Kig-Yar and Yonhet homeworlds in there from Halo because, well, Kig-Yar are Pirates and Yonhet are smuggler's. I don't like segregation, I like to keep huddle stuff that fits together when I can. There are AVP universe colonies in UEG space as well, the Fed is next to the UEG space because they're a human group.

I need to update the map with IMC, Exogeni and other private organisation's turf as well, I'll also move Cybertron and Phaaze due to your council as well

If you would like to get involved with the universe I could definitely use a Metroid advisor! Message me if you're interested in helping in that way.

Zebes was important to the Chozo, and the Chozo themselves are important to the Galactic Federation. I think they had a hand in it's founding, but that's one of those details Nintendo hasn't elaborated upon. Zebes always belonged to the Chozo until the Space Pirates invaded. When they invaded, the Chozo's organic supercomputer that controlled/monitored the entire planet, Mother Brain, betrayed the Chozo and allied with the Space Pirates. After the Pirates killed/drove the Chozo out, they claimed the planet as their own and renamed themselves Zebesians since they conquered the place. The creator of Metroid described it like when European settlers conquered America and called themselves Americans. The Space Pirates seem to experiment on themselves which explains why the pirates looks different from one Metroid game to the next, most noticeably in the Prime games. The Zebesian pirates actually underwent the same augmentation process Samus did, since the Chozo augmented her themselves on Zebes. Don't underestimate the pirates either, they're about 8-10 feet tall depending on the type you're dealing with. Physically I'd say they're well beyond Halo Elites since they can jump multiple times their own height with ease, and unassisted. You know the Jet Pack Brutes form Halo 3? The pirates can pretty much jump that high themselves naturally, no technological aide required. Consider the Zebesians the strongest of them though despite not being the tallest, they give Samus the most trouble in the games and are some of the most powerful enemies in the games they are in. Not to say that non-Zebesians are pushovers, but still. I recommend you go to the Metroid Database and read the Metroid manga that covers Samus' backstory. Everything up to the last two chapters of volume 2 are canon, and will probably give you a better prospective on stuff. The last 2 chapters don't seem canon to me since those chapters coincide with the video game Metroid/Zero Mission. The manga conflicts with the games, and game canon supersedes everything else from what I can tell. I also recommend you read the manga Sa mus & Joey. Not sure if that is canon, but it doesn't conflict with anything, predicts what happened later (the manga was released from 2003 to 2005), and the author had to go to Nintendo HQ to get permission to do what he wanted. S&J isn't the greatest story ever told, but it's a lot of fun and it makes Samus really badass. It shows why she's the best, and it isn't just her suit/weapons.

The distance to Phaaze is unclear, it is stated by the character Admiral Dane that it resides beyond the realm of conventional space travel and required a wormhole to get there. Samus and other Bounty Hunters were able to travel to the Tetra Galaxy in Prime hunters, so Phaaze must be pretty far away.

That pretty much covers the Metroid stuff from your comment. Seems strange that one of the most important characters is from a series you aren't familiar with. Oh well. From what little of your comics I've read, she doesn't seem out of character. We can talk more over private messages/Notes if you wish.

Also I'm not totally clueless, I researched a lot about her, I knew she was augmented by the Chozo as well but decided to change that one detail about her because it'd fit a better overarching story I have planned about super soldiers, I was mainly concerned about getting her personality right.

I also know that Elite's aren't a massive threat to her, but it was more an aesthetic choice to put them in that cover with her. They look really cool in the dark and I wanted to have a crossover of something with her, it doesn't mean she won't totally own them. There aren't a lot of things that are a threat to Samus though lol. I think that to balance her out with the new amalgamated universe she's in she has to be toned down just a bit too, I mean she's blown up planets or something before right? That's too OP for the stories being told at the moment, but we might progress to that eventually.

I will be re-distributing the planets, I also messed up a couple of UNSC and Weyland Colony locations as well so I'll be re-doing it soon

I've had to make a lot of sacrifices and scale different things up and down to fit, like all the different fleets. Like wow you wouldn't believe lol. I need to make a whole new gallery just for that soon.

TheAccursedHunter01 In reply to Amalgamation100 [2017-02-17 08:31:21 +0000 UTC]

I was explaining stuff the way I did because I'm not sure what your level of knowledge is of Metroid, so I made sure what I explained didn't confuse you or cause you to get lost or something. I'm not trying to put you down, I just want to get my point across without losing anybody.

Planets end up exploding at the end of her missions, but Samus herself can't blow up planets. The only possible planet busting weapon she had is the Annihilator Beam. It's a matter-antimatter weapon, and I think it only takes a few grams of antimatter to blow up a continent, let alone an Arm Cannon filled with the stuff. The manga S&J said that her Power Bombs could destroy a planet with a high enough yield, but Samus herself has never shown to use it that way. Granted, the Power Bombs are sort of nuclear weapons but with a much smaller blast radius. When Samus got stuck in an elevator in Other M, one Power Bomb vaporized the entire thing. Samus may not be a DBZ planet buster, but she's still a powerful character, more powerful than I think people give her credit for. Several hundred missiles, nuclear firepower, durability bypassing energy weapons (said energy weapons have infinite ammo), being able to hang out in lava and take no damage, insane durability with her Energy Tanks and ability to heal (Crystal flash/Concentration), she's pretty stacked. She also has great physical strength, like that time she threw around a whale shark sized creature with seemingly moderate effort in Other M. Seriously, the animation for it is a bit janky, but the move was awesome, take a look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsn5ji… .  You said that you plan on making Samus the powerhouse of the group like the Hulk. Iron Man is ridiculously powerful, fast... everything being the comic book character that he is. If Rhodey is about as capable, she might be stronger than Samus depending on the suit. I remember reading on the Marvel Wiki that Iron Man took a nuke point blank and shrugged it off like it was nothing, when his suit only had 2% energy shielding remaining. Samus is definitely a powerhouse though, especially when compared to Master Chief or Isaak Clarke.

Supposedly the planet Samus grew up on, Zebes, has a gravitational pull that is over 900 times greater than Earth's. Zebes is said to weight 4.8 trillion teratons according to its scan log in Prime 1. Teraton is used to measure how many trillion tons of TNT an explosion equals. Lots of people took teraton literally and think that Zebes weighs 4.8 trillion trillion tons. To me, that's completely ridiculous, it would make Samus as physically as strong as a Super Saiyan or something. Then again, in the Amalgamation universe, Samus didn't grow up on Zebes, so I'm not sure the gravity thing counts anyway.

MC is an augmented super-soldier (Spartan) who accidentally killed 3 ODST's and crippled one (special forces, grown men) at 14, just after he got his augmentations, whilst he was unstable (he was shaking and having trouble adjusting to his new body) without a suit, just punched them and there bones broke where he hit them

it's assumed he got stronger as he grew into his augmentations, plus the power armour stacks on top of that, it's a common misconception that MC isn't that great because the games don't really showcase him doing any cool feats it's all in the books, unless you count flipping 150 ton tanks and stuff, but y'know it's not really shown from 1st person you just kinda press a button

Elite's are considered to be almost on the same level as Spartans, some of the stronger Elite's being more powerful, it just depends on the build of both the Spartan and the Elite, they're capable of being on the same level or more, and Brutes and Hunters are way stronger.

MC and Elites won't be as strong as Samus but they're not on the same level as Isaac Clarke at all, they're beyond superhuman. I actually checked on the strength chart and MC lands right on the superhuman level fro both Marvel and DC, I couldn't get a power reading on Samus though it's too hard to find facts on hers

I've read that about Ironman and yeah but like I said, I'm building up there strengths, Rhodey's suit is supposed to be more powerful and her IQ is higher than Tony's but... I'm starting off slow with everyone lol

Thank you, I was more concerned with her character more than anything

Eh, I was kinda drawn to her for some reason. 

It is funny though, the one character I am the most familiar with isn't in the series yet, but I guess when I worked through the timeline I came to conclude that this was the best way to execute everything haha

Definitely note me

And yeah there are a few changes I had to make to all of the series, I had to change Reaper, Necromorph and Flood origins to make em fit, and with so many different ancient species that supposedly created humans it was just... ugh lol

I've mentioned a little about the Cybertronians here

amalgamation100.deviantart.com…

honestly I don't like the Bayformers pretty much. The first movie was good tbh, it has a special place in my heart, the second movie doesn't bother me too much except for the re-hashed plot but onwards from there it gets more and more on my nerves with the bullshit, it's the same plot every movie, to sum it up nicely

>Find the Cybertronian artifact (Cube, Matrix, Pillars, Seeds) and use or destroy it to save the world lol

I need 3D models though to use, and I plan on using the models from the War and Fall of Cybertron series. I loved those videogames. IMO they do a good job of modernizing the transformers whilst staying true to the G1's. So I plan on using those Transformers if I can.

I see the mech and alright to I guess to the lorem altough you may want add in engergon crystals on other worlds for it now in modern lore that the transformers had stashed supplies away on other worlds.

I see for ther cube, matrix and pillars, but the seed was only to make more cyber metal it was only with mega/galvatron makeing more drones for him to make but I understand the reasoning for I am tired of same plot.

If you do use transformers I hope you do the cybertron games for they are least little interact with earth save for Shockwave used earth dinosaurs to make the dinobots.

Sorry for the late reply but I forgot to say in my previous comment that the reason i only use videogame models is because I'm limited in what I can build, building models takes a hell of a lot of time so I only resort to that if I absolutely need too, most of the time I just create environments which aren't that tricky.

Marvel and DC have been incorporated but do not show up on this map because, well, half technical reasons and the other half is it's not what we're focusing on too much right now, mainly the Vindicates.

As far as Star Trek goes, this universe uses videogame models, as far as I know there aren't many Star Trek models out there I could use and secondly I don't know much at all about the universe and I just think it'd be too big to fit in here; I don't have time to go and watch all the series and know enough about it. Same for Stargate. Star Craft... not sure, but for now those three aren't involved in this project.

so I never wanted to include them

Warhammer 40K though do have good models and I love there designs but fitting in that universe is a nightmare, it just doesn't work for so many reasons, however I have considered doing an event, perhaps involving an alternate future timeline

maybe.

Here: halo.wikia.com/wiki/Category:P… (It says 104 P)

PS what I'm saying is that I'm going to bubble my universe, I explain it a bit in my first text notepad for DA

So Goku and the Master Chief might exist in the same universe but that doesn't mean they'll ever team up even be seen together, because who wants to see that?

Goku and Superman however, yes. 

Ironman and the Master Chief, yes. 

But Ironman is technically a superhero, and in the marvel world there are other heroes right? You also have this problem where it's a future setting where Tony should be dead. What do you do about that? The only thing I could think of... first of all use a future version of tony or a descendant (luckily the comics already had him have a time travelling grand daughter)

secondly you just write it so that all these heroes can co-exist but not necessarily mix where certain flavours shouldn't be mixed

The universe is intended to have something for everyone, and to be as inclusive as possible without treading over the lines.

I plan to bubble my universe, Vindicates focuses on the videogame side of things mostly, people with guns and exo suits etc

I do plan on doing other series though which focuses more on Superheroes and there stories in which Goku and a few other DBZ characters will be featured all of which I will probably make my own 3D models off so that they aesthetically fit into this universe

and there's a fantasy side to it too, all of which exists in another galaxy mostly, with a planet for the Dragon Age series, the Elder Scrolls series etc

there may be a point in time where all of these come together if I ever get there but mostly I to cut a long answer short I wanted Goku and Superman in the same universe lol.

Oh and I forgot to address the comment on the council's size: the humans also technically make up council turf and they're pretty powerful in this universe, what with mixed tech from all of the universes and mashed together colonies.

So I had to compensate somewhere and make the covenant bigger than the council, but they're not bigger than the council and humans which is still technically council space as humans are apart of the council

also yeah plenty of unclaimed space for things to change and expand or be introduced, also leaves a feeling of uncertainty and exploring to be had doesn't it?

The council space may change as the story progresses, I will update the map as the timeline continues and things change, but for now it's going to stay where as it is for future plans, I do REALLY appreciate the feedback though, don't be scared to tell me what you do or don't like or to change things down in the future

My main concern is what technology is better: mass effect's kinetic barriers or covenant energy shields?

which can absorb the most kinetic energy is going to be the deciding factor on who has the "better" ships as all will have slip-space, ftl travel (using "mass effect fields") and mass relay jumping capabilities

but I'd wager that the smaller ships wouldn't do so well no.

The-PBG In reply to Amalgamation100 [2016-09-01 15:13:54 +0000 UTC]

Actually you may be surprised. As I see it (this is my opinion) ME ships are small because element zero and power useage increase exponentially, so the bigger the ship the more impractical it becomes to run, so ME ships are limited in size due to their choice of propulsion. Covenant ships are larger and have energy weapons (negating ME barriers) and likely have stronger shields and better armour, however the main downside is they take FOREVER TO MAKE. If you look at the post war Covenant factions many of the super carriers and large warships are decommissioned as they are just to dam expensive to run for any one race.

Also while slipspace could travel further you could make element zero faster but limited in range by its fuel reserves, so the Council get rapid response ability.

However I feel the deciding factors are logistics. The Covenant replies on huge powerful warships that while unstoppable in a one on fight if taken out are near impossible to replace in a practical sense for a war as they take to long to build, meaning the Covernant will likely rather repair and upgrade existing ships than resupply them. Also they are insanely costly to run so keeping supply lines in a hostile area of space will be difficult and due to the fact they A. have to cross a huge distance of space, B. have to deal wth nimbler ships of the Council which can launch lightning raids then bug out, and C. cannot replace ships lost. Also then comes in the Grunt factor, the grunts and other slave races are kept in line via force and fear. So if they invade Council space (which is a big place) they will have to move ships and forces used to intimidate slave races allowing said races a chance to rebel, in turn leading to the collapse of their empire. If you have ever played Fallout New Vegas (Spoiler warning) when you speak to Lanius and challenge him you can say that by taking the NCR it would doom the legion as they do not have the man power to take and hold both the east and west. (Spoiler ended) As such I doubt the Covenant can take and hold both its own territory and council space.

As for he council their smaller ships do give them the ability to maintain supply lines with very easily, like rebel blockade runners getting to besieged worlds. Also Kinetic canons on ME ships are similar in principle in MAC canons from Halo, but once again their man advantage is cost. Element Zero makes things so much easier to produce and easy to repair, as by decreasing and increasing masses you not only allow a flexible wok environment but you can manipulate environments to a degree which suits the user making it easier to forge high density armours, or making the zero-g environments to propel paint flakes with enough force to blow out a tank. Also kinetic barriers would be very cheap to make and could block some plasma energy due to them being particles unlike lasers, and unlike in Halo they can slap a kinetic barrier very easily onto any old soldier, unlike the Covenant that reserves shield tech for high ranking operatives like the elites probably once again as it costs so much. As such while their ships are smaller they can make a lot more of them and probably swarm the Covenant (for a change) and replace loses with ease.

As such in my mind the war would obviously start in favour of the Covenant as they invade and take dozens of systems but do so slowly due to their FTL travel. However they would only get so far before the attrition o he hit and run raids on their supply lines causes their attacks to bog down, causing ground wars to bog down. Also as the Citadel attacks the Covenant on all fronts they will become spread thin and then start loosing ships and be slowly ground down and forced back. However once closer to their factories the Covenant can supply their forces better allowing them to push back leading to a seesaw effect.

This is just my idea, but holy hell is this a word wall  

Sorry

I've only just started reading ME books (finished revelation, I'll be picking up the next one and a new halo book in a couple of days) but I've read nearly all of the halo books and I know a lot about there lore.

For instance I'd wager Covenant ships have better shields because they can block full on nukes to the face with an onslaught of rockets as well but Covenant ship armour is WEAK AS FUCK. It's thin dude, and that's because they rely entirely on there shields for protection, and it's not a bad idea because there shields are pretty damn powerful and they do this to SAVE on ship cost and creation. So I don't think Covenant ships are that costly and take as long to make you'd think, although yeah the massive ones I'd wager take a lot longer just because of how ridiculously big they are.

But the Covenant Fleet is already ridiculously massive and they have several supercarriers among there fleets. And one Supercarrier is enough to take an entire planet, as it can take on an entire fleet of ships and also carries tens of thousands of troops.

I did however do some light research on ME ships and I did notice how the kinetic cannons are similar to the Mac cannons of halo but I remember that they were weaker somehow, you could measure the kinetic force of both canons as the lore states the packs they punch and I remember the ME canons being slightly weaker, nevertheless Mac cannons are significant because they're the ONLY weapons in the UNSC's arsenal that can penetrate the Covenant's shields because the shields seem to have a weakness of getting hit with a lot of force in one small spot. How the UNSC usually takes down a covenant ship is on a 3-1 ratio (only people ever able to take out Covenant ships outnumbered were Captain Keye's and Admiral Cole, just because they were that damn awesome and used freaky superhuman intelligence tactics on them that totally fucked the covvie captains up)

and they'd have all three ships fire rockets first (takes longer to reach the ship) than when the rockets reach half way they'd fire there MAC's, MAC's would hit first, disable shields and damage the ship a little then rockets would follow suit and clean up what was left. Usually they'd lose a ship in the process or if unlucky, two.

Now the way they were able to calculate and do this sort of shit was with AI's, one significant advantage all halo navies have over ME's.

But I digress, hit me up in the messages mate, I'd like to know more about Mass Effect's physics and element zero, and we should brainstorm some idea. (don't forget I was planing on doing more research anyway but seeing as you probably know everything I need to know might as well ask you)
