HMW: Maximal vs. Predacon Tournament - War in the Wastes!

Wingspan of the Predacons has kicked off the sign-up for our first big tourney of 2009, and its a battle between the Maximals and Predacons in a race to find the Brightsoul Matrix, an almost unknown artifact of great power.

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?
