Nimue


 * Nimue is a human from Medieval England.

Princess Nimue is a human who lived in the countryside some distance from the city of Camelot in the mid-sixth century. The devoted daughter of a feudal lord, Sir Aetheling the Red, she is a bit of a spit-fire and slightly flighty.

A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court
During a fight between the Autobots and Decepticons, Starscream, Rumble, Ravage and Ramjet stumbled upon a cave with an interesting energy signature. The cave took them back in time to 543 A.D., where they were spotted by Nimue. She tailed them at a distance and watched as they agreed to help Sir Wigend du Blackthorne against her father. Fleeing, she was pursued by Ravage, but fortunately stumbled on Spike Witwicky, Warpath and Hoist, who chased off Ravage and agreed to help fight the Decepticons.

Her father had arranged a jousting tournament at which he hoped to settled his feud with Blackthorne peacefully. Nimue appointed Spike as her champion, although he did not exactly do well in the jousting. After Warpath and Sir Aetheling defeated Rumble and Ramjet in a joust, Starscream kidnapped Nimue, intending to ransom her for her father's kingdom.

Nimue was thrown in a cell, but found an unexpected ally in the form of Sir Wigend. The lord, having found Starscream had relieved him of his castle, became smitten with Nimue and proposed marriage, which she immediately accepted. Spike arrived to rescue her a few minutes later and was told the happy news.

With Spike's aid (Sir Wigend having been thrown into the moat by Sir Wulf), Nimue was able to escape from the cell as Sir Aetheling's forces assaulted the castle. With a little help from the wizard Merlin Beorht, the Autobots were victorious, and Sir Wigend presented Nimue with a makeshift ring. Spike was very depressed.

After a walk to the Dragon Mound and an encounter with an actual dragon, Nimue and her friends gave farewells to the travellers as they returned to their own time.
