All Maximal and Predacon players are invited to join in and race against your generations's enemies -
Which faction will be first to find the Matrix, and what will be left of those who who stand against them?
It all begins on the 2nd March, the day the Beast Wars will be re-ignited.
And if you are of the first generation - Autobots and Decepticons - call into your faction command chamber, as you will have your part to play too...
=============
Power wielded properly can be a tool of conquest, glory, and even benevolence. Improperly, and the iron fist of tyranny shall crush all before it. The aim for many however is not how to wield great power, simply to wield it at all. – Cybertronian Proverb
With Cybertron on the brink of self-destruction from energon depletion the warring forces of Maximals and Predacons have entered into an uneasy truce. Both factions hoped to forgo war to give time to science and innovation in healing their home.
Two centuries later the peace has amounted to little more than a temporary cease fire. The lofty hopes for peace were never realized. Cybertron is still deprived of its needed energy because neither of the two factions trusted the other enough to ignore potential conflict and make real efforts to healing their home.
Now tensions between their respective high commands over the lack of progress have lead to border skirmishes as tests to the enemies readiness. The battles have been lopsided, favoring one faction or the other, with rare demonstrations of the real force either side can offer. As the borders have continually grown more hostile and full war seems imminent all hopes to heal Cybertron seem lost.
One rogue collection of Predacons has quietly observed this change and is now choosing to take action. They have unearthed legends of a lost artifact in the Sonic Wastes of untold raw power, the Brightsoul Matrix, which could change all balances in the fight for Cybertron. With world-wide conflict already about to break out they are choosing to instigate the war now. The Beast forces will clash first in the Sonic Wastes and both Maximal and Predacon teams will have to choose – will they enter the region of Stanix and risk going permanently offline or will they allow unmeasured power fall into enemy hands?
Beast Warriors, choose now! Signup here for the Maximal vs. Predacon Tournament: War in the Wastes!

It's not march 2nd yet, and you're a Pred, so I'd say the answer's yes. Give Wingspan a chance to post the updated list, this is his thing, anybody else's postings (including mine) are unoffcial.
Oh, and you might wanna create a few more charecters.

Team link please.
To all - Although posted elsewhere, since we're getting close I'll ensure things are clear and questions can get answered early.
First mission # will be posted Monday shortly after signups end and the ending # will be approximately 36 hours later; first mission # I anticipate to be approximately noon GMT. Success as an individual will be (a) your participation valid missions and (b) your kills in those missions. It is the player's responsibility to track their kills; a scoring thread will be provided with the desired format. Success as a faction is by winning the most valid missions.
Valid missions are those within the posted range which are evenly divisible by 5 and have opposition; for this first segment, opposition is defined as merely one enemy. There will be three segments like this with minor adjustments to keep us on our toes.
That's all for now; signup list will be updated once more after signups close. We are all looking forward to the slagging and, as posted in the narrative, if you're interested in contributing more than guns to this let me know.

Maximals, evenly matched or not, you'll make wonderful fur coats.
Be sure to post any questions you may have before the tournament goes underway.

Well summarized. I'll need to re-evaluate my conclusion that all Power Ranger fans have below average intelligence.

Missions only count if they have any oposition on both sides, or only if they have someone who has signed up on both sides?
(Im hoping the first option.)
EDIT: and Im asuming *all* kills in counting missions count.

Correct (first option) and correct. If one faction doesn't well defend the valid missions and non-participants join, the win counts. Also, all opponents (those intentionally or those who were crazy enough) battling in the wastes are fair game.

Feel left out. You were . No offense is meant though. Strategically I only have so much energon and chose the top 3 commanders by performance / XP. So, prove me wrong to put the cash on them. Fill in for them Mr. Power Ranger when they are in stasis.

Seriously - Gabriel? He's always been a strafer without armor or endurance. Well, this will be interesting since he's undergone a reset and is experimenting with a new set of stats. Zordon, hope you find him. You'll get a good kill or get fragged-sideways.

I try too, I've had a lot going on lately, so that could have what happened. I usually just click the "view your posts" thing at the top of the forums to see if anyone's said anything in threads I've posted in.
