That sounds good. Maybe Valkyrie can start OC Episode #2, playing the "Optimus" role to lead the newcomersVenatrix wrote:During the chain of command episode, may i suggest the following:
-Since i made Valkyrie working as a second in command, that would automatically will leave her in command with Optimus his absence.
So having her been on another mission would leave Rattrap being Primal's choice again to lead the rest.
Or if someone have a better idea, please share it with us ^^

Sounds good.
Then we need a plot.
Exploration? Retrieval of equipment from the other ship? Establishment of a secondary base?
Sounds like a plan to me, guys. As long as you, Ven, can be around to post as often as needed.Well the secondary Maximal base is still there at the waterfall in South america. With the alien turrets they found and alien landmark that the Predacons didn't go near or do much with other then Luna examining them.
Only problem is the area is so far away Communication would only be possible from bouncing lasers off the moon or cyber drones relaying messages. It's a very far away outpost to say the least. Though that probably works in favor of them not knowing what's going on while OP is playing with aliens.
What can we say? The Vok just happen to recognize greatness when they see it Optimus was the clear leader in both demeanor and firepower. He played the "Jesus" role when he sacrificed himself for his friends, enemies, and the future... only to be risen from the dead just to show off even more awesomeness!!! One of the Vok's best televised weapons (Tigerhawk) engaged Optimus Primal and buried him into the earth, but he dug his way out and held no grudge against his attacker. Optimus Primal is the epitome of greatness and the Vok knew it the moment they met him!
You're absolutely right, Alak! 
Banana junkie.I think we can work with that.
And using the establishment of communications between the 2 bases as a reason for her and some others to be sent there by the banana junkie.
Nice.The Vok has never been explained in the cartoon world, and i can remember anything in depth about them in the comics either.Seriously, if anyone knows the reason behind this, let me know. Maybe it can help me understand the Vok a little more for the RPG. ...Maybe.
So i think the Vok could be the end result.The origin of the swarm was revealed in the Generation 2 comic series. When the Transformers were first created by the god of light, Primus, they originally had the ability to undergo binary division, to split into two separate organisms. After the Cybertronian population reached a certain size, a command implanted by Primus caused them to lose the ability to reproduce and to forget that they had ever been able to.
At the end of the Great War, after Optimus Prime and Megatron had left Cybertron for Earth, a group of Decepticons also abandoned their home world for deep space. They went about conquering other planets and terraforming them into "little Cybertrons." At some point these "Generation 2"(G2) Decepticons rediscovered the process of binary reproduction and used it as a tool to expand their armies.
Each split produced a small flying mass of Cybertronian genetic material that was not unlike cancer. In low levels, the flying cancer dissipated on its own. Unfortunately, the use of the binary reproduction was far more regular than Primus had originally ordained. The cancerous by-product formed into a massive cloud, and eventually gained some appearance of an overall sentience, despite no true central intelligence. At this point, the mass of robotic organisms descended on various worlds, consuming all metallic and organic materials, leaving only dead husks behind.
The Swarm, after attacking and devouring several Gen 2 Decepticon groups, absorbed their last orders - to head to Earth. Jhiaxus's command to attack Earth undid the last chance of stopping the Swarm peacefully, which then proceeded to attack all combatants, whether G2 Decepticon or G1 Transformers, devouring Jhiaxus himself. Optimus Prime realised the only way to stop it was to purify it with the power of the Matrix and the peaceful intentions stored within. Prime willingly offered himself to it, and his desire for peace, along with the power of the Matrix, purified the Swarm of its aggressive intentions, giving it a purpose. The Swarm is last seen traveling off into space, having rebuilt Optimus Prime as a parting gift.
