Paragon 'til death.
A tough, serious, thoughtful commander, Pyra Magna excels at making the hard choices and transforming challenges that would break others into advantages. Though she has been shaped by the hardships of the Rust Spot, her true strength comes from deep within her Spark. Pyra Magna's soul burns with a powerful flame that fuels her absolute, relentless will to survive. Devout to the point of fanaticism and driven by her personal convictions, Pyra Magna places great faith in the Thirteen and their legacy — including the divine Matrix of Leadership. Pyra's piety, combined with her boundless ambition, has led her to wonder if, perhaps, she might be better off becoming the next bearer of that most sacred Autobot artifact.
As the leader of a group of Torchbearers, her personal team of "Rust Renegades" from Caminus are explorers who seek out Cybertronian artifacts for preservation. She is dedicated to her job and the Mistress of Flame.
Pyra's internal water system has been compromised by corrosive gases. She utilizes this unfortunate circumstance to power her Corrosion Cannons, weapons that weaken enemy armor and jam up their gears. She transforms into a modified Camien 6x6 fire truck.

MUX History[]
Pyra Magna's airport crash tender mode
When the Autobots discovered the Enigma of Combination in the Temple of Knowledge, a fight broke out and was Pyra Magna was accidentally exposed to the Enigma, which caused her to join with her teammates to form Victorion. She's as-yet resisted any attempts to convince her to de-merge.
As of 2021, Victorion still has the Enigma of Combination, and still refuses to de-merge or turn over the Enigma to anyone but the Mistress of Flame.
In 2022, Victorion finally de-merged, although Pyra Magna maintains possession of the Enigma of Combination. Pyra Magna soon after participated in the freeing of Calyhex City.
When Ratchet succumbed to illness, he placed Pyra Magna in charge of Autobot Medical.
Logs[]
2022[]
- June 21st - "Operation: Danger! - 160 Hours till Sunrise" - Blizzard has discovered an atmospheric event that will undoubtedly destroy the colony of Simfur and all the beastformers within it. A call for aid goes out to the Autobots, to help the desperate situation.
Jun 29 - Calyhex City Attack[]
Under the directives of Elita-1, Calyhex City was selected for an assault. Lead by Space Commander Star Saber, the assault team hit Calyhex City, which the Decepticons had been using as a base for raiding operations but with minimal fortifications and infrastructure. There Deathsaurus was present along with other elements of the Destrons who put up a fight. Using his Metal Eater Destroyer Cannon, Deathsaurus readied to fire it upon Calyhex City but for the determined and steadfast courage of the Galactic Commander who stopped him nearly at the cost of his own functioning.
With Deathsaurus defeated, the Decepticons agreed to withdraw from the city without disturbance. While there, Dust Devil located a horrific laboratory of civilians having been tortured by Decepticons. They are being attended to by emergency medical teams and the lab is being documented for any information that war crimes tribunals may request. Calyhex City is for now free of Decepticons. Civilian casualties have been limited and a majority are being tended to. Those that fell under the tender mercies of the Decepticon surgeons.. We can only offer prayers to Primus and have faith in our medical teams to save them.
- June 29 - "Planning In The Wings" - Starlock and Ratchet get a moment to catch up after a week of chaos.
Jul 01 - Tyger Pax[]
Incognito of Tyger Pax will be in touch to dispatch engineering teams to help stabilize the Titan moorings to which Calyhex was originally linked with the city. I believe that Calyhex wishes strongly to return here, and it would best serve the Titan to aid as best we can. I also would suggest consideration that once the area is secure that it be transferred to the Titan for protection as a gesture of goodwill.
Jul 19 - Tesaras Raid[]
Operational Summary: Tesaras Raid
Under operational directives from Elita-1 and coordinated by Kup, a raid team went to hit the walls of Tesaras. A strike on the walls by the.. Siege weaponry that Brainstorm installed effected a breach and the garrison was in a state of low readiness. Under the direction of Nosecone, shelling was initiated to suppress counterbattery fire while Dust Devil engaged in a reconnaissance scramble along the wall. The garrison sallied forth a squad as the walls were hit, consisting of at least three Firecons, a Seeker trine, and two DuoCon units. In a skirmish, Sptize helped hold off the Firecons while Backblast engaged the Seekers. Moderate casualties were inflicted on the garrison, some damage was made to the artillery, and a breach inflicted on the walls. A number of Decepticons were heavily damaged but no enemy casualties confirmed. The team withdrew in fair order once immediate pursuit was neutralized. The tunnels located under Tesaras are for now unknown to the Decepticons and available for further operations at the discretion of Operations. We can presume whatever mines are left in the area will have been swept ,and it is likely that any traps along the perimeter will be detected and disarmed by sappers. The Decepticosn will however have to send reinforcements to Tesaras circuitously given its station and isolation to avoid interception. The garrison will not only need reinforcements but construction materials to repair the breach. The team withdrew in reasonable order with minor to moderate damage amongst personnel and withdrew to staging area for debriefing, repairs, and reassignment.
Aug 11 - Calyhex City[]
At your report, Ratchet, I will speak with Chromia on the transfer of refugees to Calyhex City for treatment. I would also strongly recommend the immediate initiation of diplomatic contact with Calyhex herself and her representatives at giving her control of the city. This allows for its protection beyond what we can do, is a good faith gesture to the Titan and neutral cities, and will allow us to have non-combat areas to transit refugees to as well as hopefully giving diplomatic cover to other city states to offer aid that might be wary of doing so to an Autobot-controlled area recently taken in an attack.
I.. Also wish to take a quick personal transit to speak with Solus Prime if this can be arranged at the most immediate opportunity and her availability. I.. Do not feel that having the Matrix of Combination in my possession is the best place to have it. Given circumstances it belongs with one of Cybertron itself. Solus is the guardian that forged it, it should remain with her for safekeeping until the cycle it is needed. I also wish to communicate with the Mistress of Flame on Caminus. I share the concerns of Tyrest and wish to seek her counsel and recommendation, as well as seek her wisdom on the state of the Matrix of Leadership.
- August 12 - "Justice Verses Truth" - Veritas meets Tyrest with Starlock. Oh, and Omen's there being prickly. The expected but unwished for clash occurs with an interesting revelation.
Aug 15 - Ambassador Retrieval[]
To: Command
Subj: Camien Representative
A distress signal came in from a Camian representative named Starcross that had arrived on Cybertron. She is forged in the same style as Windblade. She arrived errantly through the spacebridge and was attacked by a group of Seekers near Polyhex. Jetfire brought myself in and we were able to extract her and she has been taken to the nearest Autobot outpost for repairs.
The exact nature of her arrival is unknown, given her appearance in Decepticon territory and her tactical data having last been updated fro the short period of ceasefire and peace. I am unsure as to the exact status of communications with Caminus and the space bridge. At convenience when Starcross is ready we can have her debriefed and hopefully answer some of these questions
Aug 19 - Refugee Resettlement[]
A large convoy of refugees from Camp Zero was relocated to Calyhex City where they are undergoing more thorough repair treatment in the medical facilities and being moved into more of the structures present within the city. They are being provided with what resources we can spare for now as well as light security in case there are more infiltrators from the Cult of the Silent Grill present. Hopefully if this goes well and resources permit more can be taken here for a better quality of life and establish themselves as permanent residents here or elsewhere. Ambassador Witwicky was a great help in defusing possible tensions and stated that Fortress Maximus had the potential to take on a large number of refugees if they were needed.
Aug 26 - Summary of Operations[]
Msg: The recon and rescue party deployed from Simfur, where we encountered a large frost Alloygator laying in ambush. The team consisting of Dust Devil, Backblast, First Aid, and Typhoon dealt with although Typhoon took moderate damage. The Alloygator was inspected. Search party continued to operate touching base to report in. We hope to have Blizzard secure soon. I further believe that the great Titan Calyhex wishes to have her city to herself. I feel that it is in our best interests to serve her, both for her own happiness and for the greater service to Cybertron and the citizens of Calyhex. Her presence there will be a great boon to protect the city and help the refugees have a better quality of life there. I trust the judgement of our diplomatic personnel to make a recommendation and see it through appropriately.
***
Private Message: To Ratchet
Subj: Beratement
Msg: Chief Medical Officer, I wish to lodge a protest over your beratement of myself in a public forum. It is unbecoming for a superior officer to in my judgement berate personnel publicly for performance of their tasks and for their suggestions. I am aware of the chain of command and appropriate venues. I understand your frustrations and your duty. I feel that your commentary was given in an inappropriate tone which in turn defeats morale and discipline. If the rank and file feel disrespected by superiors, then they will not perform their duties as efficiently. Furthermore, seeing their officers belittled for tasks will in turn suggest there are no consequences for doing so and lead to further breakdowns. I send this for your personal records and archives and will be forwarding a copy to command for lodging.
PRIVATE MESSAGE TO RATCHET : How DARE you insult the Mistress of Flame and Solus Prime. I serve them both and I find your commentary insulting to Cybertronians of their stature and unbecoming of anyone, Autobot or Decepticon. I trust their judgement totally and I find your dismissal of such things and their service shines an extremely poor light upon yourself.
Sep 07 - Tyrest Recon[]
To: Command + Assault Planners
Subj: Tyrest Recon
A forward sweep of the Decepticon garrison at Tyrest by myself, Kitt, and other personnel coordinated by Counterintelligence Officer Grotusque picked up some possible ways into the garrison. It is seemingly lightly defended and operating under a standard layout. The primary defenses are operated by a power plant that generates most of the energy and seemingly the majority of the defenses. If we can seize and disable the power plant, it should bring most of the defenses offline. A new commander seems to have taken over the garrison and is putting the personnel through drills. They seem to be quite tricky and cunning, sent in after the fall of Tesaras no doubt to take charge. We should be ready for surprises. An assault will have to be quick and violent. Reinforcements from Kalis and Vos will come in short order. Teams should be ready to delay reinforcements dispatched from Vos and Tyrest. They'll probably go for straight approach vectors at maximum speed so perhaps ambushes can be laid via Aerialbots or pre-positioned flak and anti-air batteries to slow them down if their routes will be projectable. The frontal gate is heavily reinforced and while the walls can be breached, holding the gate will make the infiltration easier. If not, the walls will have to be taken in a heavy charge to penetrate them before Decepticon reinforcements arrive in great numbers and the battle turns in to a slog.
Sep 22 - Tyrest[]
A text-only message is posted by Pyra Magma from the medbay.
"Tyrest has been reclaimed. The wall was breached by Springer leading elements of the Wreckers and other forces. This served as a cover for an infiltration group of Nightstalker and others to plant EMP bombs on some of the generators to the defenses. The garrison was lead by Onslaught and the Combaticons, whom lead to a heavy defense. Casualties were heavy in the attack. However, with Nightstalker taking down enough of the power generators to weaken the defenses Onslaught called for a retreat and took the garrison out in good order. Damage to the city is massive and virtually nothing is functional. It requires immediate reinforcement and repair or a counter-attack from Kalis can retake it easily. Casualties among the attacking forces were heavy and we lost a lot of good comrades and friends to it. We cannot let their sacrifice be in vain."
Oct 09 - Tyrest[]
Jetfire lead a group of Autobots repairing the damaged energy generators at Tyrest. Some of the lines were damaged as well and required replacement and investigation. They have been replaced but extra time and resources were required. The barracks have been cleared sufficiently to permit operations of a limited nature, and the breaches in the walls and gates have been fixed. Rudimentary repairs should hopefully be sufficient to allow for operations and defense. However, more extensive repairs are required to bring it to full operational status.
Nov 04 - Helex[]
To: Command
Subj: Helex Cultists
Msg: Perceptor and the two Moonbases confirmed a massive blast of energy centered around Helex, and levels of Amolgomis energy. All available personnel in turn scrambled towards Helex, making contact with the Decepticons whom permitted access to their territory and sent their own response team. A number of individuals from neutral city states came as well.
At Helex, the Power Base was the primary source and focus of said energies, Helex being used essentially as a giant generator. Outside the Power Base, what can only be best described as a semi-functional Necro-Titan was activated along with members of the Silent Grill cult. A number of the response team went to engage the exterior cultists while the rest of the response team went to the Power Base to engage the cultists within. There, we discovered that the corpse of the Fallen, seized by the Cult was being used as a giant focusing array for all the generators underneath Helex.
The response team engaged more of the Cultists to an essential stalemate. The energy going into orbit began to take on the shape of a large head. The Fallen was not being resurrected, but a ritual being used to.. Revive Unicron to some degree. The power core was then bombarded by all personnel and the ritual disrupted as Helex went to disintegrate and detonate. All personnel extracted with varying injuries from moderate to severe. Members of the Cult were presumed to be at ground zero of the detonation, as well as the corpse of the Fallen. They are presumed vaporized but as with everything Blendtron in nature this cannot be confirmed. I recommend instead that they be treated as MIA and considered to be an ongoing threat for future reference.
Despite the circumstances I am unsure if this can be called a total success. The.. Head of the Unmaker in orbit represents an ongoing threat to the very existence of Cybertron and needs dealt with. I do not know how. I strongly recommend against any team approaching without massive bombardment capabilities at risk of further infection and corruption by Unicron, though I leave the determination of appropriate response to the matter to Command, and recommend consultation with Solus Prime and representatives of the Hierarchy of Primus for suggested responses.
2023[]
Huffer
- February 9 - "Just Livable" - Pyra Magna tries to cheer up Huffer while they work on rebuilding.
Feb 09 - Tyrest Barracks[]
Myself and Huffer worked on an engineering team that was working out clearing barracks areas and ensuring that facilities for personnel were at livable standards and secure for the garrison and to provide more permanent housing for operations.
Feb 18 - Jekka Amphitheatre[]
In my role as Acting CMO and the emergency in Tyger Pax, with all due haste I'm ordering construction personnel to dissassemble the Jekka Amphitheatre and work on designs for its conversion to reinforced bunkers for dispatch to Tyger Pax. They can serve as shelters for civilians and reinforced assets for the city to be deployed as Incognito sees best. Whatever is left over is to be utilized as Operations sees fit to reinforce other cities and facilities as need be.
I also find it poetic that a facility originally used to train gladiators for death matches is to be taken down to help save the lives of civilians.
- February 18 - "Tearing Down Jekka" - Pyra Magna and Huffer philosophize while tearing down the Jekka Amphitheatre.
Feb 18 - Jekka Disassembly[]
Under Huffer's supervision, disassembly started on the Jekka Ampitheatre. Priority has been given to making sufficient materials for construction of single unit bunkers that can be quickly taken to Tyger Pax and assembled there in quick convoys to start construction immediately.
Feb 27 - Standing Orders: Medical[]
From: Acting Medical Commander, Pyra Magna
To: All Medical Personnel
These times are dark. As we prepare for threats from the stars as well as within our own home. First and foremost, our duty is to one another. Not just as Autobots, but to all Cybertronians. Tyger Pax calls for aid. The city is at risk of a major storm within solar cycles. To medical, all available resources are to be diverted there. Firestar, please coordinate shipments and convoys as needed. I also ask for volunteers from medical and operations to go to aid them as well. They are Cybertronians, and our duty is to aid any in need. But one small roll forwards of aid gives a spark of our penance for our eternal conflict by reminding us that we are all forged and templated together. Again, this is a request for all available resources to be directed to Tyger Pax, coordinted with Incognito and for volunteers to go there to help brace the city.
Long term, we must be ready for the coming crisis that will be upon us from the Liege Maximo and his dark forces. Autobot City, Earth forces I request for you to work on increasing the supply of spare parts and medical equipment to be shipped to Cybertron so we have ample reserves and are ready to face whatever darkness comes. We need to have as many medical supplies prepared in advance as we can. So please, as much as your production capabilities and other needs permit increase shipment to Cybertron.
Long term, for Operations I would like to request the expansion of facilities in Calyhex City to have it be readied for full habitation. I would like to begin transferring those refugees at Camp Zero to Calyhex City and the establishment of long-term housing and logistics there for them. They have been in Camp Zero too long. With the permission of the Lady Titan there, they will be under protection, and the medical facilities of Calyhex City will help many of those who have long term maintenance concerns. I hope that this gives them better living circumstances, protection from the Lady Titan, and a more secure living environment.
Acting Medical Commander
- March 9 - "No Rebuild Can Replace" - Persistence is key when rebuilding in a war. Also when trying to cheer up Huffer.
Mar 09 - Tyrest Work[]
Huffer and Pyra Magna worked in Tyrest at clearing out areas for the barracks, and repurposing materials that could be used to help with the generators and the power conduits. Salvage was taken from unused areas of the barracks - briefing rooms, operations centers, internal outposts, etc, that were damaged or had no infrastructure value and will be used to help reinforce electronics in the city.
Apr 12 - Mebion[]
To: Medical, Command
Subj: Mebion Attack
Msg: A distress signal came from Mebion, a small Decepticon outpost along the Mithril Sea. It was under attack. A small group of Autobots on hand consisting of myself, Swish, and Dust Devil went to render assistance. When we came there, we found a unit from the Cybertronian Empire that had killed the garrison and was digging quickly. We engaged the personnel deployed and managed to slow them.
It was revealed that they were attempting to extract sparks. The area is an active Hot Spot. We disengaged at the point heavy Decepticon reinforcements showed up. The non-aligned Cybertronian designated Goth was there as well, lending aid, and is to be given credit for his initiative. The Decepticons have an active Hot Spot under their control. The Leige Maximo's forces are also seemingly aware of Hot Spot presence to some degree and have launched a raid to try and abduct young sparks from them.
