User blog:Bzero/State of the MUX 2018

For those of you feeling a little out of touch following the holidays, here is the current state of the MUX: Cybertron is going through a period of restoration. Civilians that fled the war eons ago are beginning to return, and cities are starting to flourish and thrive once more. Megatron has taken up residence in Helex (to the possible umbrage of the Triumverate), while Shockwave rebuilds Tarn and the Autobots expand outward from Iacon. The Dominicons are moving on the Neutral Territories; it is unknown if their intentions are to protect or rule. Rumors abound of the return of The Fallen, which may signal the end of Cybertron’s peaceful lull. On Earth, Cobra controls most of the United States, leaving President MacLeod exiled to his Southern White House in Mar-a-Lago – where he is currently the target of a Cobra espionage operation. The Joes may have a virus that can stop the BATs patrolling the captured American cities – unless Cobra has found a way to stop it already. Cobra has targeted Russia next, assassinating Vladimir Putin and assaulting the Kremlin. Several countries have offered allegiance to the Decepticons in response to Megatron and Banshee’s carrot-and-stick approach, making life more complicated for Optimus Prime. On Nebulos, the Autobots have contacted Gort and the Nebulan resistance, but their activities there have piqued the interest of the Hive, who have contacted the Decepticons for a meeting to discuss possible mutual interests. Grax has taken the lead on negotiations on behalf of the Hive. In the Shattered Glass universe, the evil Autobots nearly destroyed Decepticon City on Earth before being driven back by Dinosaurer’s overwhelming power of love. SG-Starscream was captured by SG-Metroplex, and is currently at the tender mercy of SG-Windblade. SG-Slugfest has infiltrated Autobot City in Iacon, but what he can do alone may be limited. The battered Decepticons await the heroic return of SG-Megatron – but Emperor Prime does as well. Any questions or requests for additions can be addressed to User:Bzero or the other admin, and we’ll post and update accordingly!
