The Energon Pub

We used to have a thread like this a while ago, but first it got buried in the Pages of No Return then lost irrevicably in the Great Forum Dump. We have a Bio Thread, but mottos tend to get lost in the mix. This is just to show off the mottos players have come up with over the course of the game's history and aren't willing to wait for the Random Motto Ticker to bring it up.

I'll start with my team, the Eisen Dragoons
Team Motto: "Sic Semper Cybertronis"
Archanubis: "Go ahead, try to run. Just don't expect to escape."
Northclaw: "True power means knowing how to use what Primus gave you."
Celaeno: "The trick is to tag and bag before you're the one who's bagged."
Darkwylde: "War is cruelty; there is no use refining it."
Kumiho: "Fear is the most effective weapon of war."
Lohikaarme: "Honor and integrity will garner more awards than treachery and deceit."
Novacula: "I don't care if I win or lose; it's the challenge that interests me!"
Scavendrill: "There's not a technical problem out there that I can't solve."
Sea Wolf: "On the land or in the sea, nothing is safe from me."
Stratosphera: "Ability over appearance."
Venomstrike: "The more plumbing they put in, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
Wingshadow: "Nothing's worth doing if it's not fun."

Hmm, this should be a fun thread...here are mine:

Team MetalStorm motto: Stand tall, or don't stand at all.

Re-Entry: Never back down.

WatchGuard: Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.

HardHat: Just kill them all and let Primus sort it out.

Disc: With patience, a solution-or target-will always present itself.

Stratus: Either stand up or shut up.

D-fib: Autobot medicine requires a bit of skill, a bit of knowledge, and a lot of welding experience.

SkyStrike: Speed kills, bro.

PowderKeg: Just run away now and save me the ammo.

Intelion: Flawless logic is the most beautiful thing in the universe.

Artimus: If I must, I must.

BlueCrush: You want to see the best, well you're looking at her.

DataStream: Wisdom cannot exist without knowledge; knowledge cannot exist without experience; to gain experience, you must live life.

I don't have mottos for all of my bots, but here's what I have:

Voyager Prime: "We must stay strong if we want victory."
Blazer Prime: "Let's bust some heads!"
Revver: "In balance lies power."
Boltbrain: "I'll pound you into dust particles!"
Searcher: "No matter where it is, I can find it."
Meds: "I help the ones that are hurt and hurt the ones that hurt others."
Artorius Maximus: "All beings in this universe are equal, no matter what."
Firestorm-X: "You have no idea who you're messing with."
Alpha Convoy: "All life is precious to me...except Decepticons."
Razorwind: "If you can't keep up, you're in serious trouble."

Mine (not put on team yet): Sleep tight, sweet cyanide.

First off... I'm horrible with original mottos, so many of mine were quotes I found on random quote sites. >_>

Team Motto (Not the Suicide Squad one): "Live as brave soldiers; if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts."


Windracer: "Giving up does not always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means you are strong enough to let go."

Aurora: "One is left with the horrible feeling that war settles nothing; to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one."

Raider: "Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength."

Aquila: "No Decepticon is safe when I am in the air!"

Frostbyte: "Short?! I'll show you short! Come here and say that to my face Decepticreep!" (god she needs a better motto. T_T')

Feralbrawn: "It's true hard work never killed anyone, but I figure... why take the chance?"

Raindance: "The truest expression of a soul is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie."

I don't feel like posting Wildstrike's, and Stormflash doesn't have a motto... >> then again I've been thinking about altering his bio for a while, now, so it's just as well...

I think im gonna adopt that as my own personal motto, lol.

Over half of America already does

I'll bite:

Blackadder's Birgade: "We have a cunning plan..."

Elizabeth the First: "Off with their heads!"
Richard the Fourth: "Let blood, blood, blood be our battle-cry!"
Hyperflight: "My speed will allow me to conquer ALL universes."
Blastcharge Maximus: "I blew it up real good!"
Blackadder: "I believe the phrase rhymes with "clucking bell"."
Baldrick: "My dream turnip!"
Lord Percy: "Can it be true, that I hold here in my mortal hand a nugget of purest green?"
Eagle Eye: "Hmmm...a quick shot between the optics, or several dozen non-fatal shots first?"
Captain Redbeard Rum: "You have a fem-bot's leg, my lord!"
Lord Flashheart: "Let's do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o it!"
George the Fourth: "Look at these trousers!"
Lord Melchet: "Primus, what a barren, featureless desert."

Hmm I'll post my fan ones.

Team motto - "Disposing of Autobots near Cybertron for the fun of it."

Thundertron - "All shall be laid to dust at my feet, only then shall I stand at my brother’s side."

Sythonic - "You took my life and turned it upside down. Now its your turn."

Star Raider - "No point in wasting my mind."

Valclaron - "My name will become legend someday." Which no one has ever heard him say it, they only know it from his file.

Sustain - "It is not enough to win, you must maintain control."

The others are canon.

Windshift: "Forecast calls for strong winds and slight chance of sudden death."
Antsy: "Mind sharing some of that pic-a-nic basket?"
Whitenoise: "Crank it up!"
