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 intend 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, killing them in their rest cycles.

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.

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 Arkeville, Darklon, and Mock Mock all occupying the Autobot City brig – a dangerous trio to put together for any length of time.

January

 * The Arashikage Martial Arts Academy is re-opened in San Francisco as a secret West Coast base for G.I. Joe.

Jan 19 - Ship Parts Being Stolen!

 * Despite, or perhaps because of, the emergency state Cybertron is in, it appears someone is stealing ship parts from various bases. So far, only minor things have gone missing, but both sides, Autobot and Decepticon, are being hit by the raids. Thus far, no one has seen the culprit, and no clues have been left at the sites, almost as if the thief were a professional at covert infiltration.

January 21 - "Benzheeni Protestors Oust Emir"
KHASAB, BENZHEEN – In a stunning turn of events, an unlikely coalition of student protestors and military leaders have overthrown the Emir of Benzheen, replacing him with an interim government composed of the cabal of military generals who engineered the coup. On 20 January, the Emir ceded all authority and transferred power to the Armed Forces of Benzheen. The military immediately dissolved the Benzheeni Parliament and promised to lift the Emir's "emergency laws". Neighboring Trucial Abysmia praised the move, calling it a victory for the Benzheeni people.

May 3 - Autobot/Praxus Alliance Scuttled
"A stinging setback to Autobot efforts to forge an alliance with the citizens of Praxus was dealt this week when Starscream and other Decepticons abruptly interrupted negotiations between Sky High and a band of Autobot Delegates.

"Acting Decepticon leader Starscream soon interjected himself in the talks. Starscream proposed a non-aggression pact between the Decepitcons and the citizens of Praxus, but threatened to dissolve the agreement if Praxus continued to forge an alliance with the Autobots. An angry Sky High relented, accepting Starscream's offer, which results neither Autobot nor Decepticon in forming an alliance with Praxus.

"While citizens of Praxus were assured that no aggression would be leveled upon them by the Decepticons, current Decepticon leader Starscream is widely seen to have claimed a major victory as this deals an embarrassing blow to both Optimus Prime as well as Autobot efforts to recruit more supporters to their faction. The Autobots were given permission to set up a nearby outpost, but any long-term alliance between the two are now on hold indefinitely. Cynthia Pojoli... NPR News."
