H’s Hangout

The pair were born a generation prior to the one combining vehicle and beast elements, during a relatively good time on Cybertron.

El Condor Pasa! A rearing young Umacon eager to race and get dirty in the ring, she competed in several races across Cybertron, as well as holding her own in the wrestling rings. She would go on to join the autobots once sides had to be drawn in the dirt, making quick friends with the rowdy Wreckers, having numerous wrestling matches against Bulkhead, all of which she’s won.

Seiun Sky is often considered an airhead, eventually, given her laid back nature, she found herself lost in space. She can’t recall the how or why but she found herself out there.

She would receive a corrupted transmission from a nearby wrecked cybertronian ship, clearly heavily damaged by meteors and other space debris.

Inside the ship she discovered several decommissioned bots, finding a barely online bot that she gave an Energon pack. Once he regained his consciousness it was obvious that he was traumatized be something, lashing out in a fit of blind rage and fear. She was eventually able to calm the large bot, learning that his name was Sixshot and that his spark and body are immortal, and that in his barely powered state he was conscious for thousands of years in silence.

Stay Gold was a young racer that was born into the later described Golden Age of Exploration within Cybertronian history. Her life as a whole is shrouded in mystery and lost records, as she would join Nova Prime’s expeditionary team to recover the Prime artifacts, the Titans, and expand Cybertron’s reach.

While on her the expedition she would think back to the words about Eclipse, the only Umacon and Beastformer to ever win the Velocitron 5000. Specifically about the ideas of the Three Goddesses.

During the expedition they found several artifacts, including Solus’ forge which she uses nowadays as a personal weapon. After traveling an unfathomable amount of distance through space Stego’s tattoos would begin to glow. Eventually they found a desert hellscape of a planet on which she felt a godly presence.

Nova Prime would call upon the Matrix of Leadership within him, causing a titanic being to rise from the sands. It was a large blue Umacon.

However, the rest of what happened on that expedition is unknown. The Matrix of Leadership disappeared that day along with the crew, however Stego would slowly make her way back to Cybertron where she connected with several young sparklings. She would become their mentor for years before disappearing under the surface of the planet, attempting to reach the core of Cybertron for unspecified reasons.

Meisho Doto the clumsy bot was born into one of the later dubbed “Golden Ages” of racing on Cybertron. She was originally given the job of miner due to her larger frame as the ruling elite were still struggling to determine the functional purpose of Umacon alternate modes.

She would later be moved to waste management because of her clumsy nature and personality not messing well with a lot of the hard heads in the mines, although a bit named D-16 was rather compassionate and comforting to her, treating her like a younger sister of sorts, going on to convince her to chase her dreams of racing in an upcoming Iacon 5000.

In that race she went head to head against T.M. Opera O for the first time. Opera would come in first during that race with Doto close behind her in second, sparking a several year-long rivalry between the two, granted it was a more friendly relationship with the pair often seen close together along with other Umacons such as Sounds of Earth and Admire Vega.

Given the outcome of that race and several others across the years the High Council would label the Umacon alternate mode as having a “Entertainment Oriented Function.” With that Umacons were given reign to chose to join the racing scene at will.

T.M. Opera O came online on a Cybertronian colony world named Opulentos known for its high amounts of wealth due to abnormally large quantities of Energon deposits within the crust of the planet. She was taken in by the couple Shockdrive and Warnado, raising her with their planet’s ideals and away from the functionalism of Cybertron, free to indulge in the racing scene on Opulentos to her heart’s content, building a career for herself.

She would set off on her own, eventually landing on Cybertron to compete in the prestigious Iacon 5000 where she would find her rival and close friend Meisho Doto. The precious Doto would eventually introduce her to D-16, he would express his opinions on Cybertron’s Functionalist Council. The ideas he proclaimed crept into Opera’s mind leading her to spread the word against the council, expressing her view of the system given her background of freedom and what 16 had told her.

Opera would eventually join the gladiatorial pits of Kaon because races kept getting canceled or postponed due to protests against the Council. Within the pits she would eventually go head to head against Megatron, D-16’s gladiator personality that he put on, the pair noticed eachother and grinned widely at eachother. The match would later go down in history as one of the best matches, and one of the most honorable fights within the pits. At the end Megatron was able to barely scrap by, winning the match against her.

As the conflict grew Opera and Doto would join the Decepticons due to their relation with Megatron. While with the cons Opera and Starscream would clash constantly, although the only one actually angry would be Screamer. Doto worked small jobs around the Nemesis ship, refusing to join in any conflict. While on the ship she would run into the Insecticons several times, getting frightened with each encounter to the bug’s confusion.

Several times on Earth Doto would get separated from the Decepticon group, sometimes intentionally because of awful bots or terrible “pranks”. Within those times of separation she would make friends with other Autobots, like Taiki Shuttle and Matikanefukuaru.

(Not meant to tie into any specific continuity)

Both girls came online in the years preceding the Cybertron Civil War, making up the last generation of new bots before the loss of the Allspark.

Specifically they make up the generation of Umacons notable for melding Beast and Vehicle aspects to a degree as opposed to older Umacons.

Shinko Windy was brought into the care of the scientist Shockwave by his associate Agnes Tachyon, the pair examined her along with other Umacons in order to try and decipher their genetic code in an attempt to replicate their beastial elements. She made quick friends with the Dinobots, especially Slash, even mimicking their unique dialect.

She lives in the slums of Gotham within a rundown motel after dropping out of college, her room having a bed with mold and numerous roaches, the only safe sleeping area being a cheap couch.

Due to her busy schedule she often times goes days without sleeping, sometimes forgetting when the last time she slept was, leading to near permanent eye bags and bed hair from the couple of hours she gets for slumber.

In her day to day she goes to work as a firefighter to quell her pyromaniacal desires, at night she lights a pack matches before going to sleep. In severe cases of insomnia she has set fire to abandoned or condemned buildings, using her training to ensure the best possible safety she can.

She only took up the title of Firefly following the disappearance of Garfield, now spending large swaths of her night trying to figure out where he could’ve gone.

However, she intended to return home shortly afterwards but got lost along the way. Eventually finding her way to Ace Chemicals she snuck inside, drawn by the allure of the glowing vats of an odd mixture.

Coincidentally at that same time Bridget Pike (Lady Firefly) had snuck inside as well, but instead of ogling at pretty lights she was hired to burn the building down by Black Mask.

As the building burned down Bridget took in the glory of her blue flame, equally Kitten was as well. Drawn in by the light Kitten startled Bridget leading the pair to run around as Bridget attempted to distance herself from this weird moth girl.

Officer Barbara Gordon responded to an emergency call and went into the building to see if any civilians were still inside, catching a glimpse of Killer Moth.
