Cybertron: The Rise of the Clones
- The Shadow of Vigilem: A mysterious, unresponsive flagship has entered orbit, coinciding with reports that the Titan Vigilem is fully operational. Intelligence from an aborted infiltration by Howlback and Garboil confirms a nightmare scenario: Vigilem is harvesting sparks to mass-produce MTO (Made-to-Order) Thundercracker clones, with over 200 units already integrated.
- Praxian Power Vacuum: Following the disappearance of SkyHigh and the slaughter of his guards, Gunbarrel and the Air Military Mini-Con Team have seized control of Praxus, enforcing Decepticon-backed "stability" and neutrality.
- Strategic Relocation: Commander Moonradar prepares to move Metrotitan via Space Bridge, though the operation is hindered by low fuel, poo…
King of Praxus Missing
A high-altitude glide shot of Praxus fills the screen, its rebuilt spires and transit arcs gleaming beneath cold starlight. The camera banks smoothly over the Helix Gardens, their elegant spirals laid out like circuitry, as Wind Sheer’s voice cuts in - measured, precise, and unmistakably Decepticon. “Chaos grips Praxus tonight. SkyHigh, the self-styled ‘King of Praxus,’ has vanished under circumstances his own security apparatus was clearly incapable of preventing. Multiple members of that detail have been located deceased within his hilltop castle near the famed Praxus Assembly - an outcome that raises fundamental questions about the competence of the former regime.”
The footage shifts to the Assembly itself, now sealed behind hard light b…

Request for Deployment to Secure Final MASS Device Component
TO: Colonel Friday, USASOC
CC: MG Apex, USASOC; GEN Hawk, USSOCOM
SUBJECT: Request for Deployment to Secure Final MASS Device Component
Colonel Friday,
Processing of the radioactive crystal samples recovered from the Arctic expedition is proceeding on schedule. I have assigned 2nd Lieutenant Ozone to coordinate directly with Dr. Josie Beller at Blackrock Industries to accelerate production of the heavy water required for Phase II refinement.
Per analysis conducted by Dr. Laszlo Vandermeer, the final component necessary to complete a functional MASS device exists in only two known locations worldwide: a volcanic formation within the South American sector of the Ring of Fire, and a restricted‑access mining complex located in Borigia and Krazny-Maren…
President Berger Addresses the Nation
“My fellow Americans, what we did in San Esteban - nobody thought it could be done. Marching in the streets, tremendous success, people cheering, waving flags, beautiful flags. Everyone loves it, except, of course, the protesters - you’ve seen them, the worst-looking protesters I’ve ever seen, hats falling apart, very ungrateful people, probably paid, always paid. But we won big, bigger than anyone’s ever won. Landslide. Every swing district. People come up to me - strong people, very strong - and they say, ‘Sir, how did you do it?’ I say instinct. Common sense. Like in that movie - what was it, the one with the sword, very blonde, very tough - great movie, very violent, they stick together like that.
“And let me tell you, we have incredibl…
