It occurs to me that we could probably use another one of these posts, like we had for the last big fight. This post will use the standard -1 to designate Normalverse and -3 to designate Alternate Reality.
The basic situation:
* A couple of weeks ago, two Autobots-3, Swerve-3 and Emirate Xaaron-3, arrived from an alternate reality, fleeing their own kind. They were taken in by the Autobots-1.
* Shortly after that, the evil Autobots-3 arrived in this reality and formed an alliance with the evil Decepticons-1.
* Mirage-3 kidnapped Swerve-3. Emirate Xaaron-3 went into a coma.
* The allied villain forces stomped all over Autobase, leveling it and sending the Autobots-1 into hiding.
* The good Decepticons-3 arrived from the alternate universe and eventually met up with the Autobots-1. Cue good guy alliance.
* The villains, in order to draw out the Autobots-1, set a trap at the Open Air Temple, a rather obvious ambush using Swerve-3 as bait.
* The heroes, in order to to draw the villains out to an area where they'd have the advantage, set a trap at a crater whose co-ordinates just happened to coincide with the center of the Matrix design that had been discovered earlier, and used Emirate Xaaron as bait.
* Both these traps were set at the same time. Whoops!
* Grimlock-1, Slag-1, and Fleetwind-3 went to the Open Air Temple in an attempt to taunt the villains into heading into the desert. This ploy proved spectacularly successful, but mostly because Rodimus Prime-3 is more interested in seeing what New Shiny is at the center of the crater than staying and watching Swerve-3 squirm. He broke cover, causing most of the other villains to break cover in reaction.
* The battle took to the skies for a time, and much confusion was had by all as far too many Seekers became involved. Multiple smaller battles have spun off. Skystrike-3 and Duskwing-3 defeated Skystrike, while Fleetwind-3 sacrificed himself to remind Starscream-3 what's really at stake here.
* Eventually Prime-3 got tired of the aerial battle (something he's not very good at) and hit the roads, where he was harrassed by Dinobots his whole trip until Grimlock-3 goaded Grimlock into a confrontation.
* There's been a number of spin-off battles around the crater. Of particular note is the altercation between Springer and Needlenose that seems to be drawing ever more combatants, and the fight between Sky-byte, Long Range, SkidZ and Botanica that seems to be wrapping up.
* Swerve-3 was rescued by Mirage and Spinister-3. They are now heading towards safety.
* There's a mess involving a bunch of cars and a motorcycle in the woods. Forcefields, invisibility, flashy-thingies, and darklight makes life hard on everyone.
* Several Autobots-3 have touched down nearby in Skyfire-3, and while Holi-3 stays back with Bambi-3 to focus on communications, the rest approach the crater.
* Rodimus Prime-3 has arrived at the crater and is now sliding down the inside of it. Attacks on him have begun.
The current hot spots: The Open Air temple is no longer a hot spot. The crater very much is, as are assorted skirmishes between the two locations.
Ongoing situations of interest:
* The Temple area is now subject to a variety of fungus that eats, specifically, Cybertronian metals. Beast era characters in their alternate mode are safe, as are any Transformers not actually made of Cybertronian metals.
* The heroes near the crater have had their communications jammed. This applies to both personal communications and the three good guy broadband frequencies. The further away from the crater, the better communications get - just how near or far is effective is left to the individual players to determine based on what they think works best for the scenes. Holi is working his way through the jamming, but so far has only been able to reliably contact Emirate Xaaron and Rodimus Prime.
As a note, I will not be updating these every time a post is made, so currently up characters may quickly get out of date. Edits will only be made when significant changes to the current events are made, when characters enter or leave threads, or when threads are locked.
