Sideways

Sideways is a Xitran survivor like Shockwave and her team of Mini-cons. He has his own Mini-con team that can form different helmets with different elemental powers, but unlike Shockwave’s, his are nothing more than drones. He was made to be a Mini-con Program Specialist, making sure Mini-cons never deviated from their programmed functions. After Xitra, he drifted from planet to planet in despair. Unicron then took advantage of his grief, suggesting that if the universe wanted Xitra and her ways to die, then the universe would burn. He signed on with Unicron and played both Autobot and Decepticon. He eventually disguised himself as the Alien Hunt! host, Meteorfire, and drew Hot Rod and Cosmos in with him. During the Battle of Station Square, he was revealed and dropped hiding his intentions for the Allspark. Unfortunately, the battle ended when the Allspark was safely brought to Autobot custody, but he got a consolation prize out of killing Ironhide, Optimus’ father figure. After losing a Chaos Emerald to the Decepticons, one of his fellows’ contingencies bore fruit and gave rise to Unicron. During the Year of Unicron, he was killed by Bumblebee with the restored Skyboom Shield. He rusted in Hell until the Author brought him and his fellows back to the land of the living, and now he’s gonna tear Bumblebee (Goldbug Magnus) apart!

Deceptitran

Deceptitran was once a Fuel Auditor for the Decepticon cause. His gluttony led to him skimming Energon off the top. He got demoted so far down the ranks, he eventually left the Decepticons. During that low, Unicron spoke to him. He offered a deal: help him spread chaos and he can guzzle Energon to his Spark’s content. Deceptitran accepted and became a Terrorcon. He made it to Mobius after Unicron summoned him and, after a failure he was part of, bore witness to the Chaos Bringer’s rise. During the final months of the Year of Unicron, Megatron ambushed him and killed him with the reforged Requiem Blaster, then used his corpse as bait for his other target. He was sent to Hell for his crimes. After rotting there, he was restored to life by the Author’s hand, promising him a sweeter deal than Unicron’s. He’s ready to devour anyone who gets in his way.

Crystal Widow

Crystal Widow is Blackarachnia’s counterpart from Moebius’ universe. She came to Mobius when Nemesis Prime demanded a spy from Autobot High Command. She acted like a total bimbo when she was around the other Evil Autobots. Secretly, though, that was an act. Nemesis found that out and became infatuated with her when she displayed her smarts. She then explained that she was in contact with the Chaos Bringer, Unicron, and wanted in on his plans of spreading chaos. That prompted Nemesis to throw in his lot with Unicron and they eventually saw the rise of their master after two failures. Unfortunately, she met her end at the hands of Optimus after she wounded Blackarachnia. She rotted in Hell until the Author brought her and the other Terrorcons along for his journey to rewrite the multiverse.

Nemesis Prime

Once, he was Miles “Tails” Prower from Moebius, the mirror universe version of Mobius where heroes are villains and vice versa. After his universe’s Autobots landed, he and his former “friends” were attacked. Evil Optimus then pursued Evil Tails deeper into a lab. Evil Tails accidentally tripped on something that activated a weapon that slew the would-be tyrant. He then spent days working on a way to plug himself into Evil Optimus’ corpse and pilot it like his own mech. He did so and slew his old allies and took command of the Evil Autobots. He then recalled the misfortunes he and his old colleagues suffered at the hands of Sonic and surmised that there would be Autobots on Mobius. He then crossed the barrier between universes and met with Optimus one Halloween. After a bloody interrogation session, he learned how to access his own gun and axe and fought Optimus, only to lose. During the fight, he was rechristened as Nemesis Prime. After the defeat, he used his Matrix, the Grid of Domination, to forge a twisted version of the Star Saber. Before his next attempt to cross into Mobius’ universe, the Evil Blackarachnia revealed that she was in contact with Unicron, the Chaos Bringer. Unicron’s plans of unending terror and chaos suited him and so he enacted Unicron’s plan to have a physical body again. Unfortunately, the plan was set back twice, but the contingency was still in effect. The contingency worked and Unicron and his acolytes ruled Mobius for a year until Nemesis’ Terrorcon friends were killed by Optimus, Megatron, and Bumblebee. Nemesis survived and witnessed Unicron’s defeat and removal from his physical body again. That shortened his life-span and he fought Optimus one last time, using the Moebian Chaos Emeralds, the Anarchy Beryl. Sadly, the Beryl proved to be his undoing and he died in an explosion after he was tossed onto Korlonium Crystals. He spent years in Hell, meeting Hiro and his family and deprived of his powers. The Author then staged a breakout with him as a candidate for working to achieve his goals. Now, Nemesis Prime is back and is eager for revenge against Optimus.

Frenzy

Frenzy is a Xitran survivor who joined the Decepticons with Soundwave and the rest of his Minicons. Once Soundwave left and the war was declared officially over, he and two of his fellows moved in with Shockwave at Olympus Mons on Mars. He works as a saboteur whenever someone tries to bump Shockwave off. His hobbies include singing rock songs at obnoxious levels, shooting at various targets, and writing murder mysteries. He’s armed with a sonic scream that has the capacity to liquidize a bot’s internal circuits. He better scream at the Author at the earliest opportunity.

Laserbeak

Laserbeak once worked for Soundwave, but he moved to Mars’ Olympus Mons with Shockwave and two other Minicons. He is a Xitran survivor like his colleagues. He picked up on a Scots accent and went whole hog on the Scottish thing. He works as an espionage master for anyone that might attempt to steal Shockwave’s research. His hobbies include flying, eavesdropping, and traditional Scottish Highland sports. His espionage skills will be very useful for his allies when the Author attacks.

Ravage

Armed with Umbra Chameleon Circuits, Ravage is a Minicon that can blend into the shadows for stealth operations. He was once one of Soundwave’s Minicons, but after Soundwave left the Decepticons and the second Cybertronian Civil War ended, he and two of his fellows went to live with Shockwave on Mars’ Olympus Mons. He enjoys hunting (hard to do on Mars), solo rides, and the occasional head scratches Shockwave gives him. He’s developed house cat tendencies, being a combination of Garfield, Hobbes, and an ordinary house cat. Here’s to him sitting on the Author’s keyboard!

Shockwave

Known throughout the Transformers as an emotionless computer on legs with no sense of ethics, Shockwave is a survivor of the destruction of her homeworld of Xitra. The experience made her desire to keep her emotions locked up, so she puts on an emotionless façade. She is a genius in scientific fields, but her relentless pursuit of results for her experiments has led to multiple breaches of ethics. After the second war ended, she and a trio of Soundwave’s Minicons moved to Olympus Mons on Mars’ western hemisphere. Whenever there is a lull in her experiments, she talks long walks along the Martian surface. Energon is regularly exported to her via Space Bridge in exchange for continual progress reports. Her genius will be put to the test where the Author’s plans are concerned.

Hot Rod

Hot Rod initially went to Mobius to film Alien Hunt!, but it turned out that Meteorfire was actually a magephobic Terrorcon named Sideways. After learning the truth of what he percieved to be his greatest failures, he rejoined the Autobots and became a much more level-headed soldier. His speed has helped the Autobots on numerous occasions. He’s currently the head of the Velocitronian Armed Forces and lives in Soldier’s Point in the Northern Track Sector of Velocitron’s mobile capital of Delta City. While Override races through the sands of Velocitron, Hot Rod is a total city boy and races around them instead. Because of meeting an alternate future of himself where he inherited the Matrix, he’s affectionately called Rodimus to his friends. If the Author has his way, he won’t be running to any more goals.

Override

Override had a rough start in her tenure as Velocitron’s Nitro Convoy. There was an Energon Shortage on her planet during the Year of Unicron thanks to Starscream taking control of Cybertron and closing the Space Bridge network. She used herself as a lab rat for toxic Synthetic Energon brews and was stuck in a rut until Optimus and his crew (with Nebulan and Animatronian help) brought other elements from their world to assist in making safe Synthetic Energon. The science team succeeded and a new mobile city was constructed in honor of the bot who discovered the atomic model for the missing element. Now she’s back on the track, racing and exporting Energon as well as having it imported. Override lives in the Nitro Convoy’s Racer Retreat in Delta City’s Eastern Track Sector, getting a good view of the sun as the city patrols Velocitron. Her hobby is racing through the desert that covers the entire planet. Let’s hope she’s fast enough to stop the Author.
