Decepticon Faction Report Page[]
As part of archiving the Transformers Universe MUX, we have been including BBPosts on character pages themselves with linkbacks. As of October 2023, we are moving towards a Reports page style where a by faction or type of report page is created and all reports are archived on these pages with link-backs to characters and or TPs without adding the report into the character page itself.
This is a WIP.
Roughout of formatting:
- Copy Paste into Visual Editor from plain text file
- Use bulletpoint for month day, year - report title - character (Linked please)
- Extra line break between report entries to break up wall o' text.
- If you're feeling extra, do links to characters and or places mentioned in the report itself
- Still testing 2023/10/18 ~ Scaythe

- May 24 - Sparkeater in Polyhex - Sidereal
================================= Decepticon =================================
Video feed of Sidereal.
"Sidereal, reporting from repair bay. Which is a surprise since I haven't even reported in properly upon my arrival. Consider this me reporting in as well after a long absence in the far reaches of space."
There is a buzzing, grinding sound in the background and Sidereal winces briefly. But then he continues.
"I figured there's going to be several reports coming in, but I might as well share my side of events. Shortly after I arrived at Polyhex - just a brief stop before heading to Tarn - the city was put on lockdown due to an unuusally savage murder. So I can't be blamed for missing my first debriefing. A small party of Decepticons decided to go investigate the body at the Dragstrip, whereas I stayed around central Polyhex. It was then, a creature lept out at me from the shadows. I bravely fought with it, but its use of cloaking and unusual agility made it formidable. Little did I know, I was face to face with a sparkeater. It had me pinned, and just it was about to devour my very spark, help arrived and it scrammed. But not far. Injured, fellow..."
Sidereal looks off camera a moment, face askant, as he mouths something. He nods to someone off camera while mouthing something again, and nods yet again as if receiving confirmation. He looks back to the camera.
"Fellow Blitzkrieg stayed with me lest it returned to finish the job, while the others chased it around Polyhex. I'm afraid I didn't get all the names - I will update my report with them later. The trap worked! Monster couldn't get enough of me. Injured, the monster returned and Blitzkrieg and I made short work of it. There was talk of gathering its remains for analysis, so I imagine that report is forthcoming. Someone else can confirm whether it really was a Sparkeater or not. I, for one, am doubtful."
Sidereal leans back somewhat, red visor dimming. "That is my report. Someone else can fill in the gaps. Sidereal, out."
- May 25 - Polyhex Report - Arachnae
================================= Decepticon =================================
Arachnae's masked and visored visage pops on as you scroll through reports. I was performing inventory in POlyhex.. and really, what some of you do with clearly labeled equipment should be an absolute crime, when the city went into shut down due to a reported murder. *snort* However, due to this report and after an examination of the victim, I was able to determine that the attach was not one of the usual back alley situations where someone was.. acting in a manner inherent to their position, but a type and style that matched records of a 'Spark eater'.
The victim, while frame was still warm, fluids not yet broken down into base components or cooled, the remnant energy that all sparks have upon dissipating was missing.
Reacting to someone.. calling that they were being attacked in another city district, I found myself with banshee (thank you CitySpeaker) and Deathsaurus. There was a small altercation in which the creature was significantly damaged and fled. Apparently, it ran right into the other patrol that was hunting it and met its demise.
I've collected the remnants of the creature and have had them relocated to my personal lab for study. I suggest that Polyhex re-educate themselves on what such creatures are to be certain that they are not at the forefront of some kind of infestation.
Arachnae Out
August[]
- August 28 - Oh look life's returning! - Vortex
================================= Decepticon =================================
Vortex stares at the camera looking almost serious for a moment
"Okay before I even begin...this was not my fault. Ok so I was flying over Ibex minding my own business when I heard a distress signal going off. So I went to see if I could help them find some distress..erm. Assist whoever was in trouble. So the distress signal was coming from underground, so I went down to follow it. I reported this to Scourge and he came with me. Anyways, um.. so we were down there and there were a couple of Autobots up ahead but I never got there because there were WILD INSECTICONS there. You heard me. Wild Insecticons! So they were taking bites out of us and if that wasnt enough they COMBINED. I wasnt about to go up against a combiner without my brothers, so I kinda ran off. I think the Autobots got to whoever was first. There might have been some neutrals there but I was kinda....distracted by the giant bug combiner. Oh look, wildlife is returning to Cybertron. ISNT IT GREAT? Anyways that's my report on this.
- August 31 - Intel Orders - Counterpunch
================================= Decepticon =================================
<< the Decepticon spinny pops up on screen, before being replaced by the visage of Counterpunch >>
"While I'm sure that the rumor mill within the ranks of the Empire have already spread the word, consider this official notice: as of last cycle's meeting, Lord Megatron has placed me in command of Decepticon Intelligence. For the time being, Ravage will be serving as my XO - this is a reversal of roles, but neither of us are about to question Lord Megatron's decisions.
"That said: Nightshade, your cycles of skulking hidden in Iacon's airspace are over, at least for now. Air Commander Cyclonus and I both have plans for your specialized talents, which he and I will discuss soon; however, his plans will likely supersede my own, at least in the short term. Ravage, go ahead and report to Cyclonus, as he intends the same purpose for you as for Nightshade.
"As for the rest of you in Intelligence, I want reports of your current activities and missions, and I want them last cycle. Depending on those reports, you may find yourselves with new assignments. Glory to the Empire!"
<< Counterpunch disappears, replaced once again by the Decepticon spinny >>
September[]
- September 14 - OOC Notes from Meeting - Veri
================================= Decepticon =================================
Cyclonus is XO
Counterpunch is Intelligence CO
Shockwave has been busy with Energon Experiments in Crystal City - hence random explosions.
Ratbat reported Energon Levels are good - almost to OPen War Levels.
Collect Soundwave and/or Veritas Prime alive or otherwise.
Look into Sparkeaters in Polyhex.
Let Autobots use their resources vs Liege Maximo as common foe, observe, then take both 'sides' out.
"The only way All will be One is if it's One under our empire. As always we will rise."
October[]
================================= Decepticon =================================
The Autobots sent a large group to Helex, investigating the underground. at least two squads of mixed assault, reconnaissance, intelligence, and support personnel. They went underground to Helex where they investigated what was a former medbay in the facility. Some of the spark-frames seemed alive, in emergency stasis from lack of energon or worse. Most likely were experimental subjects by the Cult of the Silent Grill.
As the Autobots pressed forwards, the inert spark-frames became active and engaged the Autobots along with other, more mobile units -- survivors of the Cult. The Autobots defeated the spark-frames, whereupon I detonated explosive charges along the passageway they had come in. With luck they will be buried, if not they will have to dig their way out, and it's a long way to Autobot territory. Suggest follow-up investigation of Helex to look for survivors or remnants of the cult that need to be scourged.
================================= Decepticon =================================
A quick recon of Protihex was aborted due to the presence of Autobot Intelligence Personnel, including the head of the department, Jazz.
A quick engagement lead to myself retreating when I was discovered.
Posted from Medbay, along with note from medic on hand 'He was barely damaged, he's a wuss'
Oct 16 - Autobot Alert[]
A bloodied Skald, the looming armored femme with chains for hair, scowls on screen. From beneath her faceplate, she growls, "AAutobots have been sighted in Tesarus domain, they seek the Assemblae for their own nefarious uses!"
November[]
Nov 07 - The Sickness Cure[]
Deathsaurus appears on the screen
Alright, Decepticons listen up. Yeah I heard over broadband today that the Autobots cured the sleeping sickness. Liege Maximo was using a crystal array in the mercury swamps to spread the sickness and the Autobots and Junkions took it out. So, the sleeping should be waking up. And feel sick for about a week or so otherwise, it's over. I'm sure the Liege will know they broke his toy and will be attacking. Just letting you know. Like a good loyal Decepticon- Deathsaurus, out.
December 2023
December 29 - Assemblae Cybertronae - Megatron[]
Megatron appears on the viewscreen "My fellow Decepticons, Skald tells me of an item of great power, just outside of Tesarus's city limits waiting for the plunder. The Autobots have shown interest in it and we cannot let them get to it first. I want several warparties formed and sent to the location to collect the artifact. If the Autobots or neutrals get it first, I will be most.....displeased.
2024[]
Jan 08 - Assemblae Cybertronae Repulsed[]
We made a sweep across the Assemblae Cybertronae with the intent of driving the Junkions away from it to reclaim it. The Junkions were well dug in, having a reinforced squad present at minimum and active heavy defenses present. Intel was out of date, and they were not a rabble but were fortified and with support personnel. Upon discovery of this it was decided that insufficient force had been allocated for what was supposed to be merely an intimidation to make them withdraw, and withdrawal was called for.
Jan 14 - Thunderblast: Autobot Raid on Tesaras[]
The Autobots launched a quick strike on Tesaras lead by Jetfire accompanied by several Aerialbots and Mini-Bots. Moderate damage was inflicted to the walls and defenses by airstrikes. Autobots from two separate cells were seen cooperating (a picture of Skydive of the Lightning Strike Coalition and Jetfire of the Iacon-based Autobots is shown) but were driven off by Deathsaurus and the existent garrison. Repairs to location in progress.
Jan 28 - Assemblae Recon[]
A badly dinged up and blown up Thunderblast leaves behind a generic and flat message along Operations Command network.
<< Engaged in recon operation of Assemblae Cybertronae with Skald. Encountered Junkions and current wielder of Matrix. Matrix wielder in alignment with Junkion Assemblae >> And the eternally un-spoken 'Megatron's not going to be happy'.
- March 3 - "Human Signal Intercepted" - Stalker picks up a transmission between Nebulos and Earth.

Motormaster's semi form was towed back in from Blaster City after being found near the citystate's limits; he refuses to comment on the matter.
- April 21 - "Distress Beacon" -
GondorTyrix calls for aid!
April 22 - Distress Beacon - Esmeral[]
Esmeral’s glossy black, silver, and imperial violet self pops onto the Decepticon reporting system.
"Good day oh esteemed members of the Decepticon Empire. As it would benefit our mutual interests, and as I happen to be stationed closer to this.. Ahh.. Tyrix outpost than Cybertron itself is, I will most humbly venture outwards to determine what our fellow Decepticons mean by ‘Under attack’ and ‘the sky is on fire’.
Deszarus, love, I’ll be taking the Queen’s Gambit. Toodles!"

Jul 02 - Cerebros Ambush[]
Ambushed the Autobot Cerebros along the Industrial Plains. He begged me to stop attacking him and finally came to defend himself with pathetic return fire. Upon taking heavy damage and him calling for reinforcements, I fell back. I left him moderately injured and hopefully he will be disabled for a period. Falling back for repairs.
- July 9 - "Mission Report" - Nacelle and Ravage do a reconnaissance flyby of the Autobot defenses in Ibex.
- October 8 - "Returned Have I!" - Weirdwolf announces his escape from Calyhex.
Oct 10 - Hun-Grrr: Glorious Rout[]
The lowly Seekers took notice of an Autobot forward outpost, of which my Terrorcons and I were dispatched to obliterate. They fled before our might. The traitor that fled with the Matrix showed up, but fled in terror when our mighty Lord Megatron himself showed up to obliterate all in his way. The Autobot outpost was leveled, and they fled in terror. To victory and our all powerful Emperor of Destruction! May the carnage never be satiated.
