I dug into the depths of the staff forums and found a couple of mission text threads, but most of the missions were written by people who aren't even around anymore!

So let's kick it off again. You fancy yourself a bit of a writer and would like to see your writings become the mission texts? Then post 'em here.

But first and foremost we need to get a few things straight.

Posting here does NOT automatically mean your submissions will be used.

What information is needed wrote:First Part
Mission Name -
Max per faction -
Min level -
Max level -

Individual Faction Part
Faction Title -
Faction Brief -
Victory Message -
Defeat Message -


Oh and spelling and grammar checkers come in pretty handy too.

Decepticon Defend the Forward Operating Base

Those annoying Autobots are attacking one of our Forward Operating Bases at the edge of Polyhex. It seems they are not to keen on us launching strikes that have pulverized their forces. While the garrison is holding strong against this onslaught, they won't hold much further without reinforcements. We need a quick strike team to go out there assist our brethren.

Autobots Attack the Decepticon Strike Base

We have recently located a Decepticon base located at the edge of Polyhex. This base is the one where they launch most of their hit and run tactics. This is an all out assault and their lines are holding but we need reinforcments to over take and destroy the outpost, bringing peace to the area. For a moment that is.

Either 2-3 or 3-5.

(1-2) 4-6 players each faction.

Autobots (SUPPLY RUN)

Anybody up for a snack and grab? It seems an old stockpile of ours may still have some energon in it. Problem is, that cashe is now on the other side of enemy lines. It's risky but the payoff could be worth it.

Decepticons (STOP THE INCURSION)

It appears a small band of Autobots has been spotted sneaking around the front lines. They seem to be trying to access something within an area we recently captured. Decepticons intercept, and destroy them.

Autobot -- Energon Depot Ambushed "This is Powerglide. The Energon Depot in vegma sector 08-9 is under heavy Decepticon assault. Back up requested immediately. It appears the Decepticons had someone on the inside, undercover as an Autobot. They've shut down the security defenses and have taken them offline permanently."



Decepticon -- Sons of Plunder "Deceptions, this is Frenzy. All security defenses for the Autobot Energon Depot in sector 08-9 have been taken offline. Gather and invade, take as much energon as you can. Damage as many Autobots as possible, cripple their efforts."

levels 3-4, or whatever works best.

Autobot/Decepticon title: Interplanetary Wrestling Championship - ROUND 2! *
Autobot:
Roadhandler may have stepped down, but in order to maintain human relationships, we have agreed to continue the IWC - so kick some Decepticon skidplates!

Decepticon:
The humans want us to continue IWC... This may be a good opportunity to get followers among the fleshlings, and take out some autobots in one time. I want two of you to get in there, and knock those autobots flat! Ratbat out.

8 Level 1-2 Bots vs 3 Level 3 Cons


Routine Patrol

Activity around the Sonic Wastes has dropped significantly since the disaster there. The Decepticons have maintained only a small presence in the area. Therefore it has been decided that your first assignment out of the academy will be border patrol in the region. Report to Rollbar and get ready to move out.


Easy Targets

Counterpunch has reported that the Autobots are relaxing the guard around the Sonic Wastes, sending new recruits to take over the watch there. There will not be an opportunity like this for some time. Move in and eliminate the weaklings.

Level 0 6-10 vs. 6-10

Boot Camp

Well, congratulations on waking up protoforms! Let's see how useless you are right now! We have set up a training camp to help give you the skills to stay alive in the war. I want you to go out and do your best. We don't want any more Wheelies ending up in combat. MOVE!

Training Day

Welcome Decepticons. It's time for you to prove who among you is truely worth that title. The Autobots have begun a boot camp to better train their warriors. You are going to go and destroy as many of the worthless protoforms as you can. Survive, and you earn the right to call yourselves Decepticon Warriors. Fail, and we wont even bother recycling your worthless chassis.

Our tragic war has ravaged Seibertron... The Autobots will never sacrifice freedom, our defeat would mean the end of everything. One shall stand, one shall fall!

This is a necessary war, to return us to glory. The Decepticons will bring this world to order, my victory will mark a brilliant, new beginning. One shall stand, one shall fall!

Seems like fun I'll have ago . levels 1-3. 3 vs 3 players.

Autobots. Nothing better to do? Escort duty!
For those of you who don’t know I’m Kup and I’m chief of security! Since you young whippersnappers have nothing better to do I just volunteered you all for escort duty! Theres a shuttle leaving for Earth in 20 minutes from space dock 3. Get on it and make sure it gets to Earth in one piece, should be a piece o’cake. Do a good job and I’ll put in a good word for ya.

Decepticons. Nothing better to do? Raid duty!
Hey! Listen up scrapheads I’m Runamuck and this is Runabout. We’re real Decepticons and just got orders to raid an Autobot Shuttle. Since you losers aren’t pulling your weight you’re gonna do it for us, right Runabout? “Right!” The Shuttle will launch in 20 minutes, it should be an easy smash and grab. Show us some ball bearings and bring the cargo back to us. Do a good job and we might show you some respect.

Eeeeesh. This thread just had to come up when I'm just getting back into transformers. I'm probably going to bomb this completely, but I might as well give it a shot...

:BOT: No Place Like Home [Lvl 2-3, 5 units]

Scattorshot here! Yeah, Scattorshot! ...no, not the Technobot. That other one. Yes, that one. Anyway, y'all picked a great ol' time to come back to the base. We just finished laying out some turrets that'll give Starscream and his clowns something to think about before dropping in for any more unexpected - *BOOM!* - what the - ? Oh, Primus! All bots, return to base! Multiple incoming Decepticon contacts, headed for the turrets! And I've got something big coming in on my scopes - and it looks like STARSCREAM!

:CON: Pro Patria my Aft, Megatron! [Lvl 2-3, 5 units]

Does Megatron think me a fool? Does he think that I, Starscream, am so self-absorbed and blind that I would lead the seekers on a suicide attack, against an Autobot installation in a valiant, ill-placed strike with clear, fortified anti-aircraft platforms and emplacements on the ground? Either your logic circuits have failed, my 'glorious' leader, or you're just trying to get rid of me now - and you insult me by not even making an effort to be sneaky about it! Luckily, I am not so easily...disposed of. Decepticons! Rally to my cause, I who would be your new leader! Destroy the anti-air emplacements on the ground, and the Autobots protecting them! Ah, Megatron, the look of unpleasant surprise on your face when I return alive will be most rewarding...

* * *

:BOT: Crossing the Rubicon [Lvl 3-4, 10 units]

Attention, Autobots! It is I, Starscream! Do not attempt to trace this transmission, for any attempt will cause this message to self-destruct, and its message to be lost forever! Megatron is vulnerable, at a small encampment in northern Italy, with minimal forces protecting him. This is your chance to strike! And then I will become the new leader of the Decepticons, and rule the galaxy! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Er...in the spirit of mutual co-operation, peace on earth, and all that. Promise. For real this time. You do believe me, don't you?

:CON: Et tu, Starscream? [Lvl 3-4, 10 units]

Starscream, you are an idiot. The wise tyrant always watches his back...in one sense, or another. Yes, I am here, in the land where these humans demonstrated once such lust for power and ruthlessness against their foes that even I admire their exploits. But the humans, Starscream, are still weak, and so are you. Thanks to intelligence provided by Soundwave, we know all about your little 'slip' of intelligence to the Autobots. What you failed to mention is the subterranean levels of the bunker we have constructed, the auto-guns on the surface, or the troops I have lying in wait. You demonstrate ambition, but you lack strategy and cunning - and unlike this planet's rulers of old, I do not fall so easily when backstabbed...

* * *

:BOT: Wheelie Say HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! *yelp* [Lvl 1-2, 5 units]

Wheelie minding own business,
Wheelie having fun!
Wheelie go to bar one night,
Now Wheelie on the run!

How Wheelie know when he walk out,
With them fembots on his arm,
He bump into jet-bot who screech and say
That Wheelie just bought farm!

Null-rays flying every way,
You can hear them, don't you?
Wheelie doesn't want to die,
You'll help poor Wheelie, won't you?

:CON: Pest Control [Lvl 1-2, 5 units]

That snivelling, rhyming, high-pitched, insignificant little WORM! How dare he invade the privacy of my favorite bar? The only place on this entire blasted asteroid colony where you can find a good, wholesome jar of oil? Well, I've had enough. Enough, I say! I won't tolerate his ilk any longer in my sanctuary! Decepticons, scramble! I, Starscream, will go down in history as the Decepticon who killed, yes, killed Wheelie! And I'm buying drinks for whoever brings me the little monster's vocal processors!

* * *

:BOT: Rescue Michael Bay! [Lvl 3-5, 15 units]

Autobots, this is Optimus Prime. I know your sentiments on the films which recently have depicted our ancient struggle against the Decepticons are varied. Personally, I thought the second movie to be worthy and tearworthy...*sniff*...ahem, but that does not matter now. The Decepticons have crossed the line. They have committed an act of war against this world by capturing a man with a vision, whose only crime was trying to alert the world to our very real plight. The Decepticons must be stopped before they can harm Michael Bay, and put my screen time in the third movie at risk. Autobots! Transform, and roll out!

:CON: Get Michael Bay! [Lvl 3-5, 15 units]

So, that fleshling in the chair with the megaphone thinks he can make me look like a crony, does he? Does he?!? I led the Decepticons to glory in those years between Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but is any of that reflected in this 'blockbuster' disaster? No! Three, maybe four spoken lines, and I get my own arm lobbed off and thrown at me! HUMILIATION the likes of which words cannot describe! My honor as a Decepticon has been directly attacked! Well, I'll finally have my revenge. I, Starscream, have captured the villain responsible for sullying my good name! You like explosions, I hear, Mr. Bay? I'LL SHOW YOU EXPLOSIONS!

* * *

:BOT: Storming the Stronghold! [Lvl 2-4, 10 units]

This is Ironhide! Listen up, because I'm only telling you once. The Decepticons we spotted in Tunisia are setting up some sort of energon mine, surrounded by weapons platforms. When those platforms go active, they'll wipe out every human settlement in a five-mile radius. We can't let that happen! You guys are the reinforcements for the main strike team, and guess what? They're pinned down! So get reinforcing!

:CON: Operation: Thermopylae [Lvl 2-4, 10 units]

Emergency channel to Megatron open: Enemy engaged, secret desert base discovered. Analysis: Autobots superior. Decepticons insufficient. Victory improbable. Contingency plan processing...done. Co-ordinating new attack pattern. Divert emergency power to weapons platforms. Activate shield grid. Soundwave engage, Decepticons attack! Ratbat, Lazerbeak, Ravage, Rumble, eject! Operation: Thermopylae, commence! Destroy all human settlements!

Mission for Level 0 7 versus 7
:BOT: Mission: Scavenge for Protoforms.

Greetings, fellow Autobots. This is Ratchet. We have located Protoforms near the Decepticon base in Hexima State. We must get to them before they do. But be careful. I sense there are Seekers in the Area. Good luck soldi--AAAGH!!!!!
(*transmission out.*)

:CON: Kill the Autobots!!!

Thundercracker and Soundwave reporting. An Autobot assault imminent. We must defend our base. Hello what's this? An Autobot report, Soundwave? Put it on the screen. "This is Ratchet. We have located Protoforms near the Decepticon base in Hexima State." Hnn... This will be interesting. Prepare a Platoon! No Autobot makes it out alive!

Mission for Levels 1-3 4 versus 4

:BOT: Find Ratchet and Capture the Double-Agent

On his last mission briefing, Ratchet went missing. The camera shows he was abducted by an Autobot who is a spy. We have traced his whereabouts to the alleyways of Altihex. We must find him for he possesses valuable data. He should be right around here... What? Where is Ratchet?

:CON: Finishing Off Resistance

Megatron! This is Bludgeon reporting. My strategy worked. I disguised myself as Huffer and abducted Autobot Chief Medic Ratchet. We are torturing him currently. In the meantime I have sent the Autobots right into a death trap. They should be severely weakened. Send a group of Decepticons to finish them off. Bludgeon out.

:BOT: Reforming the Wreckers

This is Roadbuster! I do not have much time so I will tell you quickly. The almost all the Wreckers we're devastated in this crossfire. There are only three survivors on our side. Where is Commander Springer... Never mind. Our location is the eastern desolate sector of Kalis. Those who come and survive will be promoted to Wrecker with my blessing. Come quickly! We can't hold!

:CON: The Flight of Dirge

For anyone who joins this mission, realize that you have just joined a Coup d'état. And realize once you are in you cannot back out. If you haven't realized who you are speaking to this is Dirge, leader of this revolt. I have sent this mission to Decepticons who are sick and tired of Megatron. My unit have just shredded the elite Autobot task force The Wreckers to grains. Now we must return to Kaon to start this revolution. Eh? Some Wreckers still stand. We don't have time for this- You There! Revolutionaries, battle these troops while I make preparations for our return to Kaon.
I will make sure you are given riches once we return.

Autobot Mission: UNhappy Landings

Optimus Prime and a small team of Autobots including Prowl and Ratchet and Ironhide are flying over P38-69412 known Decepticon outpost located on southern pole for mining purposes. Decepticon boarding vessels breached lower hull. Boarding parties invaded lower decks. Ratchet and Prowl captured. Your mission free captured Autobots, and evacuate cruiser before imminent crash landing.


Decepticon Mission: UNhappy Landings

DECEPTICONS! The pathetic fools, the Autobots and the pathetic excuse for a Transformer Optimus Prime made a foolish mistake by coming to our mining facility! Our landing crafts have penetrated the lower hull of their vessel, and taken prisoner an amount of their reinforcements, I want you to destroy every Autobot you find, and keep the other Autobots from escaping! Failure will NOT BE TOLERATED!



What do you think? Eh? Anyone?

NECROBUMPPPPPPPPPPPP

Okay, so I've updated the first post with what is required to put new missions together (there is other stuff but that's not for public consumption).

Read the quoted part of the first post.

Individual Faction Part needs to be duplicated and done for both Autobots and Decepticons. Don't give just one side.

I'm turning this over to you guys to create some new missions. As the first post says, there's no guarantee they'll be used.

If you want to write a series (like the "Inferno" series) by all means do so. Keep the series in one post.

If you have questions, by all means, ask, I'll add a FAQ to the first post.
