The Energon Pub

Well, let's try this again, just with a bit more premise. Here is another try at Transformers: Masters, with a restructured opening.

Background: The Cybertronian Civil War has a been going on for millennia. Anti-war groups have begun springing up all over the planet. They unify under the name "Autocons" and begin to plan a way to get off their world and the war that rages on it. The Autocons find a planet untouched by their war, a planet they could spend their lives on for a long time, and most importantly, a planet rich in Energon.

However, little do the Autocons know, the Decepticons learn of their plan and the resources the planet holds. They prepare their own ship to take the planet for themselves, while crippling the Autobots' ability to follow. The Autocons are left to defend the planet entirely on their own, so they create a technology to allow the natives of the world to defend themselves.

The war will be fought with smaller partners, or "Masters", that give their larger partner added abilities. Examples include Headmasters, which add a second mind to fight with, Sabremasters, who transform into powerful short-range weapons, and Mini-Cons, who power up their larger partner with powers and weaponry.

Meanwhile, a force that neither of the three sides is gearing up to unleash a master plan to do the unthinkable.

Major players and characters are:

-John Blasor/Trailblazer: A human who joins the war after discovering the Autocons, along with his wife, Sara.
-Inferno: Trailblazer's Mini-Con who grants him fire-based weapons and powers.
-Sideswipe: Trailblazer's Sabremaster with fiery abilities.
-Sara Blasor/Groundbomber: John's wife, who joins her husband he runs across the Autocons.

-Mace: Revenge's Sabremaster, who creates shockwaves when hit on a target.

Well, this never went anywhere!

How did your version of Galvatron get created?

How do the 'Masters' generate their considerable powers in their small bodies?

Is Inferno the same as G1 Inferno, BW Inferno or another version?

Same question about Sideswipe.

Same question about Groundpounder.

How did the Autocons get enough military strength to rebel against the Autobots and Decepticons? Why was their rebellion not crushed immediately?
