Transformers Project: Cybertronian Chronicles

Hi guys just here to see what you guys think of a little project I'm going to start about transformers. I'm thinking about making a 3d animation or a flash animation of it in the coming years, now nothing is sure yet, I have yet to find out what programs I'm going to work with in my IT course this year. Anyways here's a short summary of what my version of the story looks like:


Transformers: Cybertronian Chronicles


In the beginning of times, back when planet earth was but a speck of dust floating in the galaxy, there were 2 almighty beings: Unicron and Primus. The 2 brothers were bestowed upon great powers to help and create life in the galaxy. But one of the brothers, Unicron, wanted more, he wanted to be feared, to be in control of everything, to be worshipped as a god. And so started the war between the brothers, Primus believing everyone was equal, and Unicron believing that the weak should be ruled by the strong. In the millenia following, the brothers continued to thwart each other, Unicron destroying entire races, corrupting others. Whilst Primus did his best to save them and enlighten their paths. Primus, deciding to show Unicron that darkness will never prevail, made thirteen robotic beings. He called them Primes. They all had the ability to shift forms, to "transform". They were there to help Primus guard the universe from Unicron's corruption. But the Primes themselves were not completely resistant to Unicron's corruption... A few of the Primes started to betray one another and Unicron was even able to convince a Prime to join him, by luring him with promises of power. He corrupted the heart of that Prime, and so he became known to his brethren as "the Fallen". Unicron then continued corrupting the universe with his newly gained disciple and decided to thwart Primus' plans. He sent the Fallen to destroy his brethren one by one. And he succeeded until there were only eight of them left. Four of them decided to go into hiding in the vast expanses of space, never to be seen again. The remaining four decided to fight back the corruption, their own brother. Seeing his creations suffer and die, Primus got angered and decided to end it, once and for all. He confronted Unicron and his disciple and used up all but his very last of strength to take away his brother's powers and sealed him into a giant shifting life form,a transformer, he sent him to the furtest corner of the galaxy where he couldn't harm anyone. But power can't just dissappear... Unicron's corruption ,spread by the Fallen all over the galaxy, corrupted a select few, and thereby creating a delicate balance between good and evil. Primus then, left with but the last of his powers, made one last act of goodness. He created a huge planet to dwarf all the others and called it "Cybertron". His remaining four remaining Primes became the foundation of the robotic beings that were going to live there. The Cybertronians. Primus in his extremely weakened state, fused together with the core of the planet, thereby fusing his powers and knowledge with the core. A part of the power and knowledge was kept apart and stored in a relic known as "the matrix of leadership". It was given to the first leader of the cybertronians, one of the primes named Prima. Following the tradition, every new leader was given the matrix of leadership giving him the aid of all the data recorded by the past Primes. As millenia past on the civilization evolved from small warring tribes, to one united civilization. Their technology surpassed by none. The descendants of the Fallen, their urge for power to great, rallied together, and tried to take control of Cybertron. What followed is the great war waged between the descendants of the Fallen, now known as "Decepticons" and the descendants of the Primes, the "Autobots". Every faction their beliefs the same as their ancestors. The war raged on for millenia, many Cybertronians lost on both sides, many leaders felled. All the data recorded for millenia by their forefathers lost, the technology being destroyed. The then leader of the Decepticons "Malum Maximus" a powerful and ruthless commander, found out about the core of Cybertron, the power and knowledge that gives life to new generations of Cybetronians. He wanted to make that power his own and exploit it for his own good. He fought his way to through all the defenses and traps put up by Primus to protect himself. When he reached the core, Primus in a last attempt to save Cybertron stored the power and knowledge in a cube "the Allspark", which he launched into the far depths of space. He then put himself in a stasis mode, to protect himself from damage. Malum Maximus responded by designating Decepticons to find and retrieve it for him, they became known as "seekers". With the war still raging on for milennia later, the autobots found out about it's location. They built a huge vessel,"The Arc", to take them to the planet where it supposedly was, planet Earth. A big group of Autobots with it's current leader,"Optimus Prime" went onboard the vessel to start the search. But just as they had left Cybertron's atmosphere, they were attacked by Decepticon forces under the command of their current leader "Megatron". The crew piloting the Arc activated the hyperspace drive in a frantic attempt to escape. But the Arc, being severely damaged transported them directly to planet earth crash landing there. The Arc activated it's last line of defense, a stasis mode, even the crew got frozen in. Those were the early days of planet Earth. The stasis mode lifted millenia later, awaking the Autobots in the modern day. Still intent on finding the Allspark, they set of into the human world disguised and hidden in plain sight. Little did they know that the Decepticons have already landed here...

Also, if there are any artists out there that are reading this that have some concept art they'd like to make to help me out, feel free to share ;D

Also, let me know what you guys think of it, it's still a draft but I'm working on it.

mortg, I can help only in plot ideas, but you are dedicated to this project I can suggest college electives that can help with plot. I know probably have a full plate of course but any time with elective (peniding a good professor) will enrich your project.

Mythology: This is a must. First of all, you have a creation story with a Fall. Just skimming through various creation stories would help. Myth and Religion can help you in other respect. Greco-Roman and Norse Mythology (and Asian if possible) would greatly help you, as many writers before from Shakespeare, Tolkien, Lucas, even Satre. Don't ignore Greek tragedy or even the Bible (and other religious work) as influence.

History: If you can take a course Military history, try it (with both good and grim implications). In particular, studying the great implications of total war (factories and transportation are as important as tanks and jet). Even knowledge of Sun Tzu and Carl von Clausewitz would give insight. Also, the fate of nation from ancient Athens and Sparta, first emperor of China (with grim Legalism), the Roman Civil War, the nightmares of Nazi and Soviets, etc would help you understand eg the mind of the Decepticons.

I know that your time at college is valuable, but I think this can help. If you want anymore information, contact me.

Hi there, I didn't want to give you the false impression that I'm in college, because I'm in 5th year high school. But I'll use the tips you gave, and do some research! Thanks for your help! If I ever need some more help, I'll be sure to contact you!
