Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions

Discuss This Topic!
Cybertron; a planet destroyed.
History calls it:
Heavy Metal War: First Generation.
You watched, as for millennia the Autobots and Decepticons fought a civil war that ended when Optimus Prime, making the ultimate sacrifice, hurled himself and his nemesis Megatron into the core of Cybertron, uniting it with the Matrix.
The shockwave crashed all transformer-descended life across the universe.
The Great War was ended, but the cost was huge.
This was ‘The Great Reset’
The time for the First Generation was over, thus began:
Heavy Metal War: The Organic Age
You saw Cybertron, devastated and drifting in space until struck by an alien asteroid.
From this, a new species of Transformer evolved; Efficient, smaller, just as powerful - maybe even deadlier. Heroic peacekeepers and warlike predators took the names Maximal and Predacon and war resumes for a new generation whilst the Autobots and Decepticons, reactivated as weapons of war, broke free to continue to their unending battle across Cybertron.
Now it is time for you to join that war.
Maximal, Autobot, Predacon, Decepticon; four factions fighting for Cybertron; to protect her; to bring her peace; to conquer her; to make her the seat of power in the universe. Will you choose to further Cybertron’s evolution and stop the archaic first generation tearing your planet apart or will you choose the fight to eradicate this new organic disease that has infected your home and decendants?
Chose your allegiance carefully:
Maximals; Reluctantly fighting the Predacon’s to bring order to your world, drawn deeper into conflict by the warlike ways of the ancient Autobots and Decepticons that ravaged the planet so long ago. All must be stopped if order is to survive.
Predacons; Fighting to seize control of Cybertron and purge the weak Maximal fools, to return the world it to its natural chaotic state ruled by us alone. If the ancients try to stand in our way, then they will be destroyed for none can oppose our might.
Or chose to follow the ancient path of the Autobot or Decepticon survivors, continue the great galactic war that raged across the universe, and purge the planet of all who would oppose you or threaten your freedom.
Defend or destroy, purge or protect?

| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814355) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:00pm CDT Bored much?  Needs to be read in a dramatic tone for the full effect. It's good. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814359) Posted by Halo on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:05pm CDT
I totally agree. And I also enjoyed it. It was fun to read. We need more things like this. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814375) Posted by Psychout on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:23pm CDT Thnaks, gotta do something whilst my cons are in Stasis Lock  Lets see if this help's attract people to join the Beast Wars factions... | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814402) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:42pm CDT
Yeah. The maximal's haven't been putting up much of a fight lately. http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=199560 | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814411) Posted by Rat Convoy on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:48pm CDT
Geez, was it really necessary to post that mission three times? We honestly didn't do that bad; you outleveled us and we still took out five of you. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814412) Posted by Omega Charge on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:49pm CDT So basically, JOIN THE MAXIS! JOIN THE PREDS! Or, you know, you can go Con or Bot too. Loser. Now I wish I had gone Pred again.  But it's a pretty good idea, could do well in getting new players involved. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814419) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 2:58pm CDT
Crimson Ghost just hit level 1. And yes, I did. I don't brag often, but when I do, it's usually something worthy. And there's also the fact that no one hit him at all, even with all of the other Preds going down. That's what I'm bragging about. *edit* I also remember you bragging about killing a whole lot of people lower level then you in a tournie too, so forgive me if I don't particulary worry if I hurt your feelings.  | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814426) Posted by plusapopsicle on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:00pm CDT *sniffle* it feels so damn epic... I love this game...I'm loving it man! :') But what really bothers me is that the Maximals and Predacons can choose to be vehicles as their alt form... does that even make sense? On the flip side I think Autobots and Decpeticons shouldn't be anything but vehicles and the like...Basically no animals. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814428) Posted by Tammuz on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:01pm CDT so is this gonna be newsified? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814432) Posted by Shadow Dragon on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:03pm CDT
Nope, it's not. Pay no attention to that thingy over on the left whilest in your registry that shows this has been a news post. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814436) Posted by Rat Convoy on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:05pm CDT Posting the mission is cool, your bot did awesome and deserves the brag. But if I'm going to see it three times, I felt the need to point out that we actually did put up a fight, and a pretty good one at that. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814439) Posted by Tammuz on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:06pm CDT I don't read the other bits of the site. where's the HMW in that? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814445) Posted by Sustain on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:10pm CDT If we could get that on the HMW main page that would be awesome. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814451) Posted by sumowrestler on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:16pm CDT Most appreciated for the unsolicated recruitment thread, Psycout. I joined back in Nov 2003 and not sure if I seen the original layout of HMW. If I did, it wasn't all that long. Even though the Maximals and Preds are out numbered, we will continue with the fight. Live long the Beast Wars!!!!! | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814456) Posted by Omega Sentinel on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:20pm CDT Mind if I add a little something to your saga in a couple of weeks? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814457) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:21pm CDT
Which is what I'm saying. He was dancing around the battlefield and picking his shots. I'm so proud! But are ya denying that the Maximals could use some help?
There were animal transformers in Gen 1 (The predacons, the cassettes for both sides, seacons and several others) and the Maximals/Predacons had vehicle forms on Cybertron. There's no animal life on cybertron to scan and take the form of. So, it makes sense that both sides would have access to vehicles and animals. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814461) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:22pm CDT
Hey, while you're here, the alt rotation is today right? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814466) Posted by Omega Sentinel on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:23pm CDT If it works. Cross your fingers. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814470) Posted by Rat Convoy on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:26pm CDT
As has been pointed out, there are examples of animals for Autobots and Decepticons, both in G1 and the Unicron trilogy; and the Maximals and Predacons both had vehicular alts before traveling to prehistoric earth. Besides, players like having choice. Just because I chose to be Maximal doesn't mean I don't want some vehicle bots on my team. Matter of fact, I think the Maximals and Predacons need MORE vehicular alts, to make us more attractive to a wider variety of players. We definitely should have gotten the Star Wars alts, that would have gotten us quite a few more players. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814476) Posted by Malicron on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:30pm CDT You have some of them. I know for sure the Preds have the TIE fighter. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814482) Posted by Psychout on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:36pm CDT Thanks guys lets hope we can have more Beasts to cull!
That would be awesome. Ill bet you 5,000 energon that you have, they just havent rotated in yet. The Preds got their tie fighter's on monday... | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814484) Posted by Rat Convoy on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:37pm CDT Oh, cool. I didn't notice. I haven't seen any for the Maximals yet. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814494) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:41pm CDT I think we also have a X-Wing with it's wings closed, but I could be wrong and it could be Saber. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814501) Posted by Grimpoo on October 16th, 2008 @ 3:49pm CDT I saw a HISS tank...bout shit myself...SUPER UBER awesome! | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814523) Posted by Tammuz on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:11pm CDT The HISS tank pales in Comparison to the white lego tank | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814531) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:22pm CDT Both of those pale before the awesomeness that is our insect army! Go forth and swarm these tanks Predacon Insects! I'm sure you're not squishible spiders! Or flantenable Roach! Or... what the hell is that supposed to be? It says locust... I didn't know we had any Picaso transformers...  | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814538) Posted by Malicron on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:29pm CDT
Clearly you've never seen Beast Machines. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814555) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:42pm CDT
I was trying to not remember that! >.< It's bad enough there's that fuggly movie Bumblebee head over to the right! RAR! *bites* There. >.> Now you have rabies.  | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814561) Posted by Malicron on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:51pm CDT You think you're traumatized? I was only six when Beast Wars got ass raped. I loved that show, and then they had to go and fuck it all up. For god's sake, even the toys sucked! | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814563) Posted by Megatron Wolf on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:52pm CDT Damn. All that hard work gone. Now i need to remake my entire squad again. You could've at least given us guys who've been in it for a while some thing special. I mean you killed off all our high level bots and gear. Not to mention the bios. Oh well time to recreate the Dreadicons once again. EDIT: oh yeah and why no bike alt modes? Theres damn near every other type of alt but some kind of motorcycle. Could you add one please? Show some love for us who want some 2 wheeled action. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814566) Posted by Symbiote Spiderman14 on October 16th, 2008 @ 4:54pm CDT
It wasn't on purpose there was a crash | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814572) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:04pm CDT
I was in uh some grade when Beast Wars came out... I think... I'm not sure... What year was it? Probably Middle school... But my childhood got raped in 2007, so I wont feel pitty for you. I remember Beast Machines sucked so bad I didn't start watching Transformers again until Armada.
I dunno what faction you are, but I think they all have bikes under light vehicle. Ya might not have any in the rotation right now, but there should be one happening sometime today, so you should get your bikes back. Or at least some bikes. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814586) Posted by Shadow Dragon on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:14pm CDT
Oh I don't even want to hear it. They killed off my Optimus, teased his return a few times, bring him back only to kill the series, then the next time I see him he's a hippy monkey freak? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814594) Posted by Uncrazzimatic on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:24pm CDT
Screw Optimus, what about murdering all the cool cons? (except Soundwave) That was the sadest day of young crazz's life. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814609) Posted by Shadow Dragon on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:33pm CDT
I was 11, I didn't know any better.  Though I was pissed about Starscream even back then.  | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814615) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:39pm CDT
I was even younger, I was in second grade when the movie came out. They killed a lot of cool characters. It's hard to say the cons were cool though, since mostly they were portrayed as bumbling retards, with a few exceptions, with 'fool proof plans' that a 6 yr old could foil. My mom was really pissed they killed Prime, but happy they kept Bumblebee. She likes yellow things. Like Pikachu and Bumblebee. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814623) Posted by Autobot Snake Eyes on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:47pm CDT So, is "The Great Reset" There excuse for me losing all my HMW data? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814624) Posted by Fett 526 on October 16th, 2008 @ 5:49pm CDT
Actually Optimus Primal had no relation to Optimus Prime. /greek rant  | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814657) Posted by Redimus GTS on October 16th, 2008 @ 6:33pm CDT Geez, over dramtic much? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814780) Posted by Silver Wind on October 16th, 2008 @ 8:59pm CDT I sure hope this drives up the numbers for the  faction.  | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814782) Posted by Redimus GTS on October 16th, 2008 @ 8:59pm CDT
NEVER! | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814785) Posted by Shadow Dragon on October 16th, 2008 @ 9:08pm CDT
I sure hope so. I need more targets to get XP off of. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814810) Posted by City Commander on October 16th, 2008 @ 9:41pm CDT Knew this was a good idea. I want to thank everyone that helped with this, namely Pyschout, High Command and a few others I can no longer remember the names of cos I've drunk too much again.... | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814822) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 10:02pm CDT
If you want more targets, go Pred. We got nothing but targets. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814840) Posted by Shadow Dragon on October 16th, 2008 @ 10:25pm CDT
I said I wanted targets, not to BE a target. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (814879) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 16th, 2008 @ 11:27pm CDT
I don't know what you're on, but I'm never a target. I have all of you weaklings right where I want you! *points across everyone in HMW* You are all my bitches! | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (815064) Posted by Psychout on October 17th, 2008 @ 8:28am CDT Seiberwebz frontpage has a new HMW advert:
So, should I be asking for royalties and is there a way to get the article on the game front page? | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (815492) Posted by Burn on October 17th, 2008 @ 4:38pm CDT
Step 1 - Add a Paypal button to your sig Step 2 - Ask for donations for a worthy cause, like a new camera! Step 3 - Sit back and watch the gullible send you money. Uncle Burn's Financial Services. Helping Seibertronians manage their finances since 2003. Sounds like a good new name for Project B.A.R.T. actually. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (817251) Posted by Silver Wind on October 19th, 2008 @ 9:42pm CDT
I've no doubt the Tripredacus Council has their optics trained on you for that comment... And Ransom says that she thinks she still has an arm from Dynamax that's looking to be used. Anyhow, I think the missions are slowly starting to improve for us Maximals; been seeing more comrades in there. | |
| Re: Heavy Metal War: A new age, the Beast Wars factions (817353) Posted by Absolute Zero on October 20th, 2008 @ 1:35am CDT
Maximals have closed in on the 1000 character mark, so you're only out numbered like 2-1 by the bots and less then that by the cons. | |
