Kup appears to prefer text-only entries, as so far all of his have been such. Odd, really. He certainly seems fond of hearing himself talk in person.
"This is just a quick list of the different timelines we got tangled up here. I'll be working on a proper chart on how to tell them apart and such later. A timeline is named for the first arriving rep from it.
"Perceptor - this one's mine, and seems to be the one we're seeing the most of. This is the only reality so far that seems to use laser cores instead of sparks or brain modules.
"Xaaron - A lot of superficial similarities with mine, and folks with the same name tend to have the same or similar appearances and personalities, though there's some varience, too. If a person's got a brain module but not sparks, it seems to be either this reality or Rodimus's, and they're both just branches of the same one, anyway.
"Swerve -A bit hard to place him, due to lack of knowledge about it. Finally got another rep from this reality with a bit of a wider pespective over their whole Autobot-Decepticon mess, but not by a whole lot, since she's from Velocitron, too. Anyway, by this point it's at least clear that this isn't just a far corner of one of our other realities, it's a seperate one entirely. Easiest clue is that whole 'cyber key' thing of theirs, but they've also got sparks and a Primus. In fact, their Cybertron actually is Primus, a whole fragging Transforming planet.
"Holi - Appearance-wise, there's some cross-recognition, but there's a lot of name differences.
"Bumblebee - Yeah, I know you guys are getting tired of the 'razorblade' or 'naked' comments, and yeah, I know we look odd to you, too, but when trying to explain how you folk appear to a newcomer from one of these other realities, that really is the fastest way to get the point across to 'em.
"Wedge - The main opponents for these guys are the Predacons, and the Decepticons are an offshoot of them, rather than the other way around. (A picture of the Predacon faction symbol is attached) Scourge, the so-called 'Black Prime' some of you guys've been hearing about, is from this one.
"Mirage - Like with mine and Xaaron, there's a lot of cross recognition here, but there are some other details that mark it as being pretty obviously another timeline. Sparks only. The current Decepticon leader, Shockwave, seems to be from this one, too.
"Airazor - Fur coats and feathers. This is the only group that don't call themselves 'Autobots.' Instead, they're Maximals. (A picture of the Maximal faction symbol is attached) All the reps we have from this timeline are from about three hundred years down the road, and they seem to be the future of a reality that looks like mine on the surface, but I've been finding too many contradictions for it to actually be mine.
"Rodimus - This one's actually an off-shoot of Xaaron's timeline. Xaaron had even mentioned it before Rodimus arrived, and folks from both timelines seem to have a pretty clear idea of what caused the split.
"Makeshift - Seems to be a completely new one. Some of the names cross over, like Optimus Prime and Megatron, but, well... a lot of our wars, they're not just down to conquest. They come down to a war of resources. Often those resources are energy, but in Makeshift's reality, the resources appear to be a... erm... well, they're smaller Cybertronians called 'Mini-Cons.' I'm not sure if I can properly them another faction, as mostly they get fought over by the larger factions, and I'm not sure about calling them a subspecies. They're small, and they've been modified to specific purposes. Since when has building a Transformer in a different size and giving them special modifications made them not a Transformer? Anyway, like Swerve, he seems to be a solo-rep. So far the biggest identifier for his reality is the existance of Mini-Cons.
"Optimus - Technically, this one could also be named 'Bambi.' They both arrived at about the same time, but while Optimus hooked up with us pretty quick, Bambi spent some time wandering on her own. Anyways, the biggest feature to tell this reality from the rest is the fact that they got a whole messa Primes. Seems that's just a rank there, and not the highest rank available, even. That would be Magnus. A lot of name crossover with the other realities, appearances, not quite as much. Recognizable, but obviously different. They've got sparks and an Allspark, and they also seem to have won their war far enough back that we're getting a fair amount of civilians from here, though their Decepticons are still around (and we've had plenty of them show up here). Like I said, the biggest clue with this one is the Primes.
"Springer - Another reality from the same 'main clump' as mine and Xaaron's. Fastest trait to peg this one is that they're the only ones so far to have both brain modules and sparks.
"And I think that's it. If anyone knows of any I've missed, go ahead and add it."
