Over the planet Mederi, the valiant crew of the Lost Light battle against the Functionists, religious zealots seeking to cleanse the stars of all "useless" forms, and Adaptus, the "Grand Architect", one of Cybertron's five so-called gods. Across the stars, over Earth, a combined Autobot/Decepticon/Neutral fleet fought to stave off the apocalyptic superweapon Unicron, the first and last legacy of Cybertronian imperialism as it sought to devour the Transformers in the name of its long-dead species.
The Lost Light failed. The anti-Unicron forces failed. With the Functionists free to continue their crusade, and his original plan for stopping them in ruins, Adaptus sought a new way to try and defeat the Functionists...and in his desperation, accepted help from Balahaka and his Soul Divider tech. With Unicron having completed its primary purpose in destroying Cybertron and all its colony worlds, reducing the race to a mere handful of survivors, it was easy for Adaptus to infiltrate the planet-bot and wrest control of it away from the spirit of its long-dead Creator. Empowered by Calamity tech, this new "Adaptuscron" takes the fight to the Functionists and their reformatted alternate-universe Cybertron, reformatted into the image of Primus, Lord of Light and first of all Transformers. But defeating the Functionists is not enough; millennia ago, Adaptus ignited the God War when he believed Cybertron should spread its dominion across the stars, long before a simple miner from Tarn decided to take up that cause himself. With the Functionists swept aside and total-control of Unicron, and the ability to spawn an army of Infinites, Transformers which can assume any altmode whatsoever, Adaptus sees fit to revisit that idea, not knowing of the true devastation he will unleash by doing so. With the Autobots and Decepticons alike devastated by their losses, it seems there is no one who can stop him.
Unless Minimus Ambus, Megatron and their fellow Heroes of Light can find a way to light this darkest hour.
Up to five Heroes of Light may accompany Minimus and Megatron on this quest. Non-mechanical lifeforms will remain their true size and gain a sweet 80's scifi space suit to help Minimus, Megatron, and any remaining Cybertronian allies to stop Adaptus. This plot will revolve around infiltration and cooperation, whether its with other PCs or NPCs. Samu and Nara will run scenes and play any additional NPCs. More information setting will come with the IC log.
