THIS BACKSTORY CONTAINS SPOILERS, DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE LIVE ACTION MOVIES SPOILED!
History
Humanity has been spared...for now. The Decepticons are in shambles; most of their ranks have been destroyed during the battle that took the life of their highest authority: The Fallen. Megatron, now the Decepticons' leader once more, has fled to Mars with his injured faction, escaping their demise to fight another day, taking refuge in the Fallen's old sanctum, while Starscream acts as their Earth Field Commander. The Auto-Bots, empowered by their victory, have remained on Earth after word of Megatron's escape, intent on protecting their new allies once again. For now, both sides are silent...but that soon will change.
Reports of energon-rich areas of Earth have been received...the place of Megatron's rebirth, as well as the Hoover Dam, are now places of extreme Decepticon activity, the residual energies of the areas creating new Transformers upon contact with any sort of metal. Some believe that the Decepticons will use the energies to resurrect a new army made of Earth's own machines, to compensate for crippled ranks, in preparation to take the Matrix of Leadership, while both Decepticons and Auto-Bots alike call for any remaining forces to head for their respective factions...
Rules
1): No power playing. That includes ridiculous damage in fights, not allowing another person to fight back, or simply making an overpowered character.
2): No killing others' characters without their permission.
3): No single sentence posts, unless responding to another person via speech. Posts must be descriptive.
4): All major Transformers characters, which include 95% of the ones that appear in the live action movies, are off-limits. (Examples: Ratchet, Bumblebee, IronHide)
5): Minor Transformers, from the movies or the other series, are allowed for players to control. Major series Transformers, such as Unicron, are obviously off-limits. Series Transformers must be reworked to fit the "feel" of the live action movies. Of course, custom Transformers are allowed (And encouraged). Even minor characters are limited to 2 active at once per person.
6): The E-war will take place in the "Sol" system, which is, of course, our home system. All planets are accessible, but obviously there is nothing to do on anything other then Mars and Earth. Travel between planets is NOT a minor thing, even for Transformers.
7): The time is the present, so expect modern vehicles and cities.
Note on Vehicle Modes:
First, Decepticons, naturally, are the only ones that take the form of military vehicles, though this does not apply to all of them. Auto-Bots, however, need to blend in on Earth, and therefore would not take the form of any kind of harmful vehicle. Especially in such a vulnerable state, even Decepticons would want to remain hidden. Second, all non-Earth vehicles are off-limits. Vehicles that the Transformers transform into should be at least close to their normal size (Relatively close, just refer to the live action movies if you need examples).
Note on Optimus and Megatron:
Both of the leaders of the factions are currently inaccessible to members of the opposing faction, and for good reason. Megatron is currently commanding his Decepticons from Mars, and heading to the Decepticon headquarters would be suicide. At the same time, Optimus Prime is still in possession of the Matrix of Leadership, making him stronger then he ever was. Attacking him would also be considered suicide, and characters WILL be killed.
