Description
Megatron's plans are being thwarted by humans of all things..in a desperate play to gain the upper hand, Megatron invents Virus X-91. A cybertronian techno-virus capable of destroying the internal workings of a Transformer, thus rendering them deceased.. forever..This plan backfires with ALL the Transformers on Earth in peril.
A scientist in the eastern Alps has created a super powerful cyborg prototype that both the Autobots and Decepticons seek.. once found they both steal the only 2 prototypes in existence..
Duplicating the technology and improving on the design, megatron finds a way to hibernate their Original forms in stasis while transferring their Sparks into the Cyborg Bodies.. thus giving them Human appearances.. and allowing them to continue to find ways to plunder Earth's energy resources..while they work to find a cure for the disease.. but a side effect of the Prototype has made the bots based on that design into Energy vampires, and Megatron and the other decepticons now in human form must feed endlessly to live...
Like wise on the Autobot's side Ratchet has found the weakness in the prototype design and with the aide of that scientist have developed a cure and have also transfered their Spark into those cyborg Bodies..all while secretly under the Protection of America's super powered Military Gi Joe!!
Megatron has secretly infiltrated Cobra, and is seeking to use their resources to conquer the world and plunder the worlds energy resources...

Notes on the Bumblebee design:
__________________________________________________
In this image I tried to do a design that compliments Bumblebee's original look and adding in a bit of his Movie design for effect. Now the armor covering the forearms is meant to be utilized as weapons.. arm lasers.. and a personal shield generator as well.. his belt has the autobot symbol, while his legs have a shock absorbing boot structure, which allows him to withstand high impact from long falls.. which plays into his Booster Back pack.. which is closed on his back and then springs up and out when he needs to fly. Bumblebee also sports a battle mask for his mouth, in keeping with the new trend that the movie and other series have developed..
The face on bumblebee leave one to consider him young and very approachable as a friendly guy.. however when in full armored mode, he does have a certain amount of intimidation for his enemies..the look, I feel, plays to his namesake, the original robot, and the movie design..

thanks, well the difference is that the 2nd one is his back pack jetpack wings are up with boosters out, and the final is his shield up and his battle mask on, with the jetpack wings up.. the original is how he looks plain..

bases and power armor would be a totally cool idea.. instead of minicons combining with the robot, it would be reverse, the minicons would be power armor..armorcons..

Have you ever thought about doing any of the dinobots?

Wow....that's Bumblebee underneath all that metal? Cool! I like it! May be a little tight around his legs, but it's certainly a great design again!
Do you want to keep that symbol on his belt in red for everyone of your characters or can I talk you into changing it? *makes pussy-in-boots eyes*

Hmmmmmmm........... I'll have to consider that, the problem is that with transformers, the colors are dictated by their initial design, and If I made Color choices based on aesthtic correctness, it would anger lots of fans.. they have a specific color scheme for these characters that have been established since 1983, to modify it in any way would deface the value of what most people perceive as those established characters.. it'd be like me making superman's costume a different color, to remove the contrasting yellow..so I understand what your gripe is about the colors, including the symbols, only there are certain things that have to remain in stone, whether they blend or not.. it's just the way it has to be done for these characters..though. black in place of the red on the symbol would be fine.. I believe..

Well, I guess my problem then is that I haven't seen these characters before. I've watched "The Transformers" but I didn't really pay attention to their colors.......
I'm glad you told me about it.
I was actually thinking about the light blue that's the color of his....sunglasses? Eh...that's hardly the right word, but never mind. At least I've found a word this time. I'm still having trouble switching back to German. Half of my daily rambling is still in English....

english isn't as bad a language as Spanish is.. geez.. too many spanish speakers..I.. hate spanish language, not spanish people, just the language..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
English is really simple. And I think it sounds nice.
Spanish is actually relatively easy to learn, too. I guess after 4 years of Latin, everything else is easy. xD
You've ever tried Latin? It's a PAIN!
Don't mind Spanish, just can't pronounce it. I do dislike French though.

I am half italian so Spanish is very similar, only when spoken by the indigenous Mexicans and south Americans, it becomes very muddled and annoying..so that's my grievance with it.. not the people themselves, just the way it's spoken is not the way it is spoken by people from Spain..

Well, but same goes for British and American English and many other languages. People develope their own dialects and words. That's natural. Many Germans speak dialects, too. I happen to live in the area where the most "clear" German is spoken, the one you hear in the news and stuff.

yeah, English that's not spoken correctly bugs me too.. I guess spoken sounds annoy me sometimes..
I prefer the silence, or Music to conversations.. I'm weird like that..

I hope you don't mind accents, though....
Same here. Actually I start to feel exhausted after spending several hours around people.

it's all good.. sometimes just being in the room with someone, and not talking but hanging out watching TV or playing a game is fun enough without words.. body language and the comfort level to hang out without words.. it's a simplicity that is lost in this day and age of instant gratification..

My Dad and I did that a lot after I came back from the US.

Whoa...just, whoa...
Definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
One little thing, though: I was reading your story plot-background-thingy, and I can't really help but notice you used the term Cyborgs, which would technically be incorrect. A cyborg would be a human with cybernetic enhancements; you were probably thinking android, a machine designed to look like a human, but not technically a human.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I understand the difference... In the defense of using that term, it was more to illustrate that they look human on the outside with skin, blood and veins, but on the inside, they are actually like a terminator, though more sophisticated.. that way they survive the techno virus.. kinda in much the same way that beast wars were organic beasts with machines..so i hope that clears up what I meant to convey
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks! they are more like terminators then androids..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never saw anything even related to "Terminator", but I think I get it. However, my point still remains; aren't machines that are designed and look like humans technically androids, anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well I thought an android is a robot made to look human, but a robot that has flesh over top of it, whether cloned, manufactured or artificial is a cyborg.. like terminator is a Cyborg, it has living or simulated living tissue over a robot skeleton.. whilst Data from Star Trek the next generation would be an android, because he looks human, but just below his fake skin is technology..
the reason these guys are Cyborgs is because they are trying to blend in to humanity.. and they need the armor to cover and protect their bodies.. because the techno virus would otherwise destroy them.. so as Cyborgs, the whole premise makes sense.. without it, and if they were like DAT, they wouldn't need bodies like humans, they could just make super huge robot bodies..
but because the virus kills Cybertronian technologies, it is not able to penetrate the organic body and destroy their spark.. and core memory modules..
