Who: Ultra Magnus & the Autobots
Where: Autobot Desert Base/Shipyard
When: After the robot fight and Ratchet's arrival to Earth
What: Ultra Magnus checks in with the troops after the fight.
Warnings: ???

Thread starters within.

Who: Ratchet and the Autobots
Where: In their brand new medibay ship
When: Shortly after Robot Fight Club
What: CHECKUPS FOR EVERYONE
Warnings: Yelling. Soooo much yelling.

( my dirty hands, have i been in the wars )

Who: Signless, Robots, and YOU
Where: City Hall, and all over downtown LA.
When: April 14th
What: Signless bates the Cybetronians into having a big fight in downtown LA while attempting to get a valuable artifact. Earth civilians and superheroes are SUPER WELCOME to notice the fuss and try to stop the fighting/safe people from collateral damage.
Warnings: SUDDENLY ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE

Signless leaves himself, and the hammer, visible at first. He wants them to see him, to know that the battle is imminent - and with any luck, a conflict will start. He'll do his best to disappear and keep them hunting for him as as long as possible after he's initially been spotted. Maximum collateral damage is his goal.

It also helps that he's an empath. He'll be taking whatever opportunities he can to agitate people's emotions, whether it be anger, panic, or fear, in the attempt to make ever more chaos.

This is a party style log, meaning you can make you own threads and scenarios. Signless will be around with the hammer. LET'S MAKE THIS AS BIG OF A CLUSTERFUCK AS POSSIBLE, GUYS.

Who: SUPER HEROES!!!!!
Where: Ernest E. Debs Regional Park!
When: Sunday!
What: SUPER BARBECUE
Warnings: Superheroes...



It's a pleasant evening at Ernest E. Debs Regional Park, just a couple miles from downtown LA, which can be seen through the haze. Late March means spring is just arriving in LA and the trees are just starting to bud. Unfortunately, the grass is still kind of dead and dry.

The barbecue and picnic area isn't too busy, though the park does have the usual assortment of joggers, dog walkers, and cyclists. There are some balloons tied to picnic tables, and strung between two trees is a very homemade "SUPER BBQ" banner, courtesy of Hulkling and Starbreaker. There's still glitter glue on Milly's apartment floor. There's another posterboard with the rules written on it in big bold sharpie letters nearby, just in case anyone forgets:

• Don't be a jerk!!!
• Keep your weapons holstered please.
• Do not trash the park!
• ABSOLUTELY NO FIGHTING
• Anyone caught fighting will be asked to leave!
• Really don't be a jerk!

[OKAY GUYS!!! mingle! have fun! maybe some THINGS WILL HAPPEN, whoooo knows!]

Who: Arcee and YOU!
Where: All around L.A.
When: THIS WEEK
What: Arcee's scouting out the city, gathering information and getting to know humankind.
Warnings: idk robots

( available in motorcycle and holomatter avatar flavors! )

Who: Orion Pax and Autobots (Specifically Arcee and Rodimus)
Where: RODIMUS PODIMUS
When: Some days after his rescue I guess. Various.
What: Orion is pretty sullen about thinking he's been taken prisoner, but his resentment is not as cut as dry as he'd like it to be.
Warnings: You know what this is.


The leg brace helps. It means that Orion can at least limp around the pod, his wounded knee held rigid by the surrounding metal instead of flopping around painfully. His wounded shoulder is getting a bit better on its own - the feeling has returned to his fingers, and while everything has severely limited mobility, it is capable of supporting its own weight most of the time and doing low effort tasks like holding data pads.

The break in his knee, he is certain, will not be repaired without a doctor.

He knows a decent amount of first aid himself, and so where functional, he's been able to attend to himself. He's made it clear that he prefers it that was as well. He isn't being aggressive or rude at any point, but he's holding the Autobots at a distance. He feels like it's necessary, if he's going to get through this the way he wants to.

He read all of Arcee's datapads in that first night, but he hasn't mentioned them since. He doesn't leave the pod or invite other people's presence except with receiving rations. He has too many questions and too many doubts - he is determined to not be played a fool, but what that means is becoming more and more unclear.

Who: Arcee, Rodimus, and Ultra Magnus
Where: The Autobot ""base""
When: March 17th/18th, not long after this
What: Arcee has to break the news to Rodimus and Magnus that their rescued leader...isn't really their leader at all.
Warnings: intense robot emotions

( it's such a loss for the good guys afraid of this life )

Who: Orion Pax and Arcee
Where: THE ROD POD
When: March 17 probably like just after midnight.
What: Once the AI is taken out Orion can finally stop trying to break things inside of the Rod Pod. Or as much as he could while being down two limbs and starving to death anyway. He's concerned about being captured by Autobots, and the Autobots are concerned about how he isn't one.
Warnings: FUCK

He stays unconscious for a good long while after the fight, but not long enough. When he finds consciousness again, after sucking dry what was left of his natural energon stores, the rest unfolds like a confusing dream. He's been locked inside what appears to be a small vessel. On one hand, it doesn't look anything like the place he was before. On the other, the implant is still there and the driver is not happy.

Time passes in a haze, his will and the AI's running together in a dizzying mess. He finds himself lashing out ineffectually with his remaining to limbs. Then he finds himself just trying to hide and disappear. He isn't saved, after all. He knows who took him.

It was a relief at the time, but he's just been taken by another enemy. Even if he'd take just about anything over the one that had him before.

It's hours before it full stops, and he isn't sure of the transition. One moment he just wakes up to silence and an empty head - and oh so much pain. He hadn't realized how muffled everything was before, but now his whole body is aching with energon starvation and dislodged joints.

Hiding isn't going to accomplish anything, but it's the only thing he can think of to do. He sits in a corner, his broken leg resting at an aggressively wonky angle, and his good arm defensively braced around his chest.

He'll see how much they want to save him, he thinks, when they realize he isn't who they wanted. He doesn't have the energy left to deceive.

Who: Orion Pax and the Autobutts.
Where: Next to a conveniently places crevasse near the tower.
When: March 16, around the time that Fake Dynamo is freaking out.
What: The bad guy figures out there are more robots lurking around and sends its biggest robot to try to deal with them.
Warnings: SUDDEN ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE (ok maybe not ultraviolence, maybe just super violence.)


He's barely conscious, after what just happened, but his body is still moving. He doesn't know what the objective is. He can just feel himself slip in and out of awareness, the only consistent thing being the terrible mental pain that lingers from having his processor slammed by some kind of code push from the AI. He doesn't even really know why.

He just knows that something happened, and that the creature got extremely angry because of it. And that it was apparently somehow his fault. He's not sure if he should be proud of himself for that nebulous victory or not.

His pilot has decided that the Cybertronian being fully conscious during these efforts has been far from helpful thus far - this is something it can deal with more permanently later. But for now something urgent is happening, and paranoia is rising in its alien mind. Enemies are going to be coming, from all sides. These are only the first, but it will not be cornered by filth.

It forces the bot's body into its vehicle mode and charging towards the group at full speed, as soon as his scouts' observations have been visually confirmed. Having more of these metal bodies at its disposal could be very useful in this war.

Who: Arcee and Ultra Magnus
Where: The desert outside the city, near the Rod Pod
When: The evening of March 11th
What: Arcee and Ultra Magnus meet up and fight some mutant cyborgs.
Warnings: probably ROBOT VIOLENCE

( finally, a bot who cares about the chain of command...but maybe a little too much. )
