Luke's Showcase Place

1. The software should allow for highly customizable characters, meaning all aspects can be changed.

2. It should be accessible to everyone, if possible. If not, then at least have it be accessible to trusted creators and such.

3. It should be easy to learn, but a little difficult to master (right in that "just right" zone for a tool like this).

4. It should be at first focused on making bipedal and quadruped characters, though any other modes of locomotion can be implemented later

If you got here, then great, i'm proud of you!! You appreciate the talent, effort, and work a small guy like me puts into creating something like this... So now, after 2 and a half years in the planning, i give you:

The Grandus Encyclopedius

Creation of Cybertron & Battle against Unicron

• Primus and Unicron are created, beginning their eternal conflict

• Primus creates Cybertron after temporarily subdueing Unicron

• Unicron creates his 4 Harbingers of Chaos, which Primus counteracts with the 13 Primes

• Unicron returns, in which he and his Harbingers fight off against Primus and the Primes. Unicron and his Harbingers are defeated, with the 13th Prime sacrificing himself to exile Unicron into deep space. The 13th Prime's essence is then transferred back into Primus' spark

• Primus sacrifices himself to give Cybertron the ability to create life and live as a planet (along with the 13th Prime's essence eventually manifesting itself into the planet later on), creating the Allspark in the process

• The rest of the Primes gives a part of themselves to Cybertron for it to create life in Primus' image

• The Allspark creates the Matrix of Leadership, which contains the 13th Prime's essence

Post-Unicron Darkness

• Cybertron bears the first generation of Cybertronians thanks to the Allspark

• Megatronus, one of the 13 Primes, falls under Unicron's control. He kills most of the other Primes, with Alpha Trion, Vector Prime, Alchemist Prime and Onyx Prime being the only survivors. Afterwards, Megatronus becomes the First Decepticon and rallies like-minded Cybertronians to his cause

• Alpha Trion claims the Matrix and flees to Cybertron

• Alpha Trion creates the Vaults of Vos and wipes his memory to become A-3

• Onyx Prime flees to an uninhabited jungle planet and becomes its guardian. Cybertronian life develops on the planet, and Onyx becomes their leader and mentor

• Vector Prime flees to his time dimension, where he vows to protect time and space to prevent spacio-temporal anomalies from destroying the timeline

• Alchemist Prime flees to Iacon on Cybertron and founds Maccadam's Old Oil House under the guise of Maccadam, creating the no fighting rule to prevent aggression inside the bar

Resistance and Retribution

• A-3, now wielding the Matrix, leads a resistance against Megatronus and his Decepticons, eventually "winning" after Megatronus is killed by Unicron for disobeying his orders

• A-3 gives the Matrix to his resistance and returns to the vaults. Over the years, he eventually recovers his identity as Alpha Trion, but he lacks the wisdom to return to his original form

• The resistance team dubs themselves the Autobots, annointing a Prime out of their ranks with the Matrix

• The Decepticons, in secret, prepare to strike back against the Autobots with a brand new leader to lead them

Wars for Cybertron

• Over time, a terrible series of wars would plague Cybertron for millenia

• Autobots strike back against evil Decepticon tyrants, while Decepticon treachery would topple peaceful Autobot leaders

• The last war, the Silver War, would see Nova Prime kill Bloodron and end the war in the Autobots' favor

Dynasty of Primes and Decepticon "Heroes"

• Autobot Rulers during the Wars for Cybertron (which are those who wielded the Matrix of Leadership) in chronological are as follows:

1. Sentrus Prime

2. Alphar Prime

3. Terminus Prime

4. Nova Prime

• Decepticon "Heroes" during the Wars for Cybertron in chronological order are as follows:

1. Floron

2. Dery

3. Devron

4. Rapiron

5. Pinoy

6. Gladiaron

7. Cannibaron

8. Murdron

9. Ghoulon

10. Bloodron

Golden Age, or Gilded Age?

• Nova Prime may have ended the wars and led Cybertron into a Golden Age, but he turned out to be an egotistical and crazed maniac who believed that the secret to power and authority lied beyond that of the Matrix itself

• Nova Prime gave leadership of Cybertron (and the Matrix) to Zoltar Zeta, who became Zeta Prime afterwards

• Nove then set out to discover a secret source of power alongside a self-formed group of likeminded Transformers in a ship he called the Novastar. He and his team were never seen again

• The twisted and often experimental Zeta Prime ruled Cybertron alongside Nominus for a short time, before he was betrayed by the latter. Nominus then stole the Matrix and became Nominus Prime, who turned Cybertron into a Functionalist society based on the alternate modes Cybertronians were given on birth

• Nominus Prime stepped down and handed control to Sentinel Major, who became Sentinel Prime and made this system even WORSE by making himself fully in charge of who was allowed to have functions in Cybertron and what Transformers turned into

• Alpha Trion would later leave the Vaults of Vos to regain his wisdom by reading his Covenant of Primus stored in Iacon's library

• The Vaults' contents were transferred during this process, with the foundation eventually repurposed into a maximum security prison under the command of Sentinel Prime

Megatron's Origins

• Megatron was created by a group of Decepticon Constructicons under the dying message of Bloodron to build the ultimate Decepticon, which the team who built Megatron composed of:

1. Grindcore (a huge heavily armed drill tank, who Megatron would name Grindcore Prison after)

2. Trench (a tracked loader)

3. Mortarcrusher (a cement mixer/mortar launcher)

4. Gravedigger (an excavator)

5. Hightower (a crane)

6. Steamhammer (a steam shovel)

• Megatron would then secretly begin to rally up the remaining Decepticon forces as well as create some of his own in able to properly strike against the Autobots. After the original Constructicons were killed by the heavily unstable monster combiner Monstructor, Megatron handed the construction-based operations to Shockwave, who would later serve to be Megatron's Enginus/Scientus Supremus, as well as guardian of Cybertron when Megatron takes over most of the planet.

• Megatron makes the loyal Sky-Byte his second-in-command, Starscream his lieutenant and aerospace commander, the three-faced triple-changer Blitzwing into his technician/computer specialist, front-end soldier, and Chaos Marauder, and Soundwave as his communications officer and espionage specialist

• Megatron later kills Sentinel Prime during a parade in Kaon, where he would ultimately establish as his base of operations

• Megatron then causes havoc and conquers various cities all over Cybertron

Rise of Optimus Prime

• Orion Pax, his best friend Dion, and his girlfriend Ariel work as cargo storage maintenance bots until the day they heard the news that Megatron had killed Sentinel Prime in "one of the outer cities" (the three all worked in Iacon)

• Dion refused to believe that Sentinel was dead, but Orion and Ariel tried the best they could to defend each other and Dion when Megatron surprise-attacked them all in an effort to take over Iacon

• Alpha Trion overheard everything and came out of his library as soon as the attack ended, only able to repair Orion and Ariel as their sparks were still present in their bodies (and since both of them had strong senses of justice)

• Alpha Trion remade Ariel into Elita-1, and he remade Orion Pax into Optimus, who would later find Sentinel's corpse and wield the Matrix as told in many prophecies to become the one known as: Optimus Prime

• Alpha Trion then returned to his library, where he would remain to guide Optimus all throughout his life

The Great War and Megatron's Master Plan

• Megatron starts the Great War after being defeated by Optimus Prime in the Battle for Iacon

• Many years of fighting drains the planet of its golden color, reducing it to a blueish gray color as both factions continue their war

• Megatron eventually decides to secretly create what he calls the "Ultimate Weapon", a God Gun that uses Cybertron and its moons to destroy anything in its way, granting the Decepticons total dominion over the universe

• Megatron then conspires with Shockwave to build said weapon without the Autobots' knowledge, which they realize that in able to fuel the weapon, they need the superfuel known as Ore-13, which naturally generated on a foreign planet

The Cybertronian Exodus

• Megatron appoints Shockwave guardian of Cybertron

• Megatron and his Decepticons then prepare to find the Ore-13 on The Nemesis, whom Optimus Prime and a squad of Autobots pursue in The Ark. Both factions battle over and crash on Earth, doomed to wait in stasis lock 4 million years before they eventually awaken...

While Leaders Flee

• While Shockwave takes total control of the planet, many Autobots fight against other Decepticons and their corresponding Decepticon Commanders

• A team of Prime-like Transformers arises in legends called the Warriors of the Seven Lights, who left Cybertron and defended the galaxy from intergalactic threats such as Ex-Archon and who imprisoned the ex-Autobot mnemosurgeon Sunder (later revealed to be a self-proclaimed Herald of Unicron) in the now-repurposed Vaults of Vos

• The Warrior of Evil (as a natural counterbalance to good) would later betray and kill the other warriors, taking their Light Matrices and scattering them across the universe before transferring his consciousness into and warping his own Matrix somewhere in the mysterious dimension known as Unspace

4 Million Years Later...

• In the year 1994, Optimus' squad of Autobots and Megatron's group of Decepticons awaken, continuing their war on the planet Earth

Building Relations and Calling Reinforcements

• Optimus Prime and his Autobots meet the adult Spike Witwicky and his father Sparkplug, befriending them and being assisted by them during their war against Megatron and his evil Decepticons. They also find the ancient warrior Grimlock, request the aid of a few other Autobots, and restore a Decepticon-controlled Ultra Magnus

• Megatron and his team find, call, and create other Decepticons while on Earth, including the long-lost Stunticons (excluding Wildrider, who the Decepticons found first), a new iteration of the Constructicons (consisting of the six that are most well known), Bludgeon (the mystic master of Metallikato and guardian of his own pocket dimension), and Lugnut (called to Earth from Cybertron under Megatron's direct orders)

• Megatron and Shockwave direct the creation and installation of a basebound Space Bridge system, which allowed Megatron to beam resources directly to Cybertron

• Lockdown, a freelance bounty hunter, gets paid by Megatron to travel to Earth to capture Optimus Prime and deliver him to Megatron

The Ultimate Weapon

• After eventually gathering enough Ore-13, Megatron plans to beam his team and the remaining Ore-13 to Cybertron

• Optimus and his Autobots pursue Megatron and travel on the Space Bridge to Cybertron, which results in a fight across Unspace. Megatron redirects the Autobots to one of Cybertron's moons to witness the unfolding of Megatron's 4 Million Year Plan: the transformation of Cybertron and its moons into the God Gun

• Thundercracker is killed by Megatron after finally standing up to him and trying to prevent him from activating the God Gun

• The God Gun is activated after a long fight on the planet's surface and before Optimus can stop Megatron from doing so

• Shockwave betrays Megatron after he imprisons the Autobots within Grindcore Prison, which is spearheaded by leader of the Decepticon Justice Division (aka Megatron's Secret Police): Tarn (named after the first city that fell to Megatron)

• With the help of Megatron and Starscream, the Autobots successfully defeat Shockwave before he could use the God Gun to drain the universe's resources and power Cybertron (but leave the entire universe destroyed)

Aftermath

• After the chaotic event known as the God Gun Gambit, both Cybertron and Earth would be repaired over time by both Autobots and Decepticons

• A funeral is held for Thundercracker's honorable sacrifice in New York, whom both factions attend in solem rememberance for

• Shockwave is then reprogrammed by Megatron to become his titular loyal self whilst keeping his unique skillset

• Eventually, after repairs on both planets are finished, Megatron resumes the war on Earth

Road to Unicron

• Over time, as both Autobot and Decepticon reinforcements are sworn in, strange and mysterious figures start to appear, such as Sunder and the Harbingers of Chaos (aka the Destructons, led by Lord Imperious Delirious), which leads to a few alliances between the Autobots and the Decepticons

• Megatron grows more cunning and more brutishly violent as he begins to slaughter SCORES of Autobots across the years

• The Autobots, under the swift approval of Earth's leaders, construct Autobot City to better defend against Megatron and his Decepticons

Darkest Hour

• In the year 2005, Megatron and his troops prepare to finally finish the war by not only destroying The Ark, but also raiding Autobot City, which turned out to be an Autobot Titan called Metroplex

• Megatron failed to raid the city, leaving him fatally wounded by the Titan. However, MANY Autobot and Decepticon lives were lost, not to mention the deaths of many civillians

• Among the Decepticon casualties were Sky-Byte (due to a battle against Springer), Lugnut (due to a last-minute sacrifice that shook the entire battlefield thanks to an overcharged Punch of Kill Everything which, well, rose the death toll by a LOT), and Skywarp

• Megatron was never recovered by his fellow Decepticons despite their best attempts and died of his injuries, eventually being found, revived, and reformatted into Galvatron by the Dark God Unicron

• The dead bodies of Thundercracker and Sunder were given new life, fused, and reformatted by Unicron into Scourge (whose design combines his G1 and RID 2001 appearances), aka the Nemesis Prime

• Sky-Byte and Skywarp's dead bodies are fused by Unicron and reformatted to become Cyclonus

• Galvatron and his revived bretheren reclaim leadership of the Decepticons and immediately go after Optimus Prime

• Optimus finally gets through to Galvatron after one long battle across three places: one in Giza, another in Unspace thanks to a secretly installed Space Bridge, and the last in the Cybertronian city of Kaon. Galvatron and Optimus then team up to stop Unicron from devouring the universe

• After a long amount of turmoil and before Unicron could get to Cybertron and Earth to feed himself, Optimus Prime sacrifices himself to kill Unicron and completely free his Heralds from his control

War's End

• In utter shock and pain, Galvatron saw just how far Optimus was willing to go to free him, his Decepticons, and everybody else from their common enemy. In complete disbelief and absolute insanity, along with the loss of will to continue his ways, he personally ends the Great War, fiercely abandons his troops, and left for the planet Thrull to sink deeper in his insanity

• Ultra Magnus is then encouraged to take his brother's place as Autobot Leader by Hot Rod and Kup, who serve as advisors for him

• Tarn learns of Galvatron's "change of heart" and eventually vows to "become the Decepticon that the universe had never seen before", swiftly taking control of Kaon on his own before building himself a throne of all of Grindcore's dead prisoners

• After his already bold movements, Tarn personally kills Starscream after locating him and his new Decepticon forces

• Tarn takes command of the Decepticons and starts viciously slaughtering his way to the now mentally-unstable Galvatron, fully ready to make Galvatron pay for what he did...

And that's it for right now. Hope you enjoyed this lengthy documentation of the direction i want to take this, taking inspiration from the old and incorperating the new into it. Take care, friends, and remember...
