Notes on The Portal: A Glossary of Terms 

 

The Portal: A bar that can cross the rift of space-time, it’s located in the Nexus and lets people travel between dimensions. Lots of crazy stuff can happen in the transition though—for instance the Beast warriors showing up on earth dressed as used car salesmen. It would seem that whoever invented space-time was in fact on crack. 

Narcosa: Owns the Portal. She’s a cyborg created by the Vok--part vok/part human/part cybertronian with weird alien powers. She is what contemporary scholars would probably term A Hottie, and she is noted for flirting with any he/she/indeterminate alien entity that crosses her path. 

Nexian lands: A weird, huge, floating landscape of mountains in the Nexus that look oddly like the Himalayas. The Portal is on top of one of these mountains. 

No, I don’t why, either. It just is.  

The Vok: In my world, they’re a bunch of snootypants aliens who have huge foreheads and look much like most snootypants aliens would look like—when they said to Optimus: “We have no form you could understand.” They were actually just trying to insult his intelligence.
