User blog:Bzero/State of the MUX 2016

Welcome to 2016!

The most important happening on the MUX right now is nothing less than the fate of Cybertron itself, as the cult of Silent Grill intends to finish the planet off permanently. The Autobots are aware of the situation, and have entered into a truce with the rulers of Helex to investigate, but as of yet the larger Decepticon leadership is unaware of the danger of the situation.

At the same time something haunts the dreams of the Transformers, both Autobot and Decepticon, killing them in their rest cycles. Even during all of this chaos, however, the Autobots are dedicating a new medical center outside Iacon to Sparkplug Witwicky.

Back on Earth, America is at war with Cobra Unity. With Cobra under attack, the forces of VENOM are starting to jump ship, hatching schemes of their own with the help of Major Bludd in Australia. Cobra meanwhile sets up a small base in California to spread out their forces right under the nose of the US government, and to spread them out to make them harder to attack.

After the near-destruction of the Pit in Omaha, the Joes have been staying in Autobot City while a new Pit nears completion. The Joes' prisoners are there as well, with Abd al-Baset, Arkeville, Darklon, and Mock Mock all occupying the Autobot City brig - a dangerous foursome to put together for any length of time.

Here's looking forward to a new year in RP!
