Gift for Omega Supreme

 

        Shipped by courier straight from Nightsiege to Crystal City, this minibot sized package is labeled: For Omega, Our Dear Friend. The courier cannot say who sent the package as he does not know. The package does not contain any explosives or anything else harmful and can be scanned to ensure this. Should a certain someone open up the package...

 

        Inside is a small holo-projector and a set of large datapads, clearly meant for big and unusual hands. The datapads contain a photo-album of well over a hundred images. Each image is of the Constructicons, relaxing and having fun in New Crystal City. Look, there's one of all six of them walking along a beautiful skyroad with the sun setting in the background. Here's one of Bonecrusher and Long Haul driving in vehicle mode. Ah, and here's a beautiful image of Mixmaster and Scrapper sharing some energon wine. Look, here's Hook and Scavenger giving a big thumbs up to the camera. The final picture is of all six Constructicon lounging around in the most bizarre of chairs. Hmm.

 

        The holoprojector contains 11 fairly small, but detailed images. It can project them directly in front of the machine for viewing purposes. They are as follows: Chair1, Chair2, Chair3, Chair4, Chair5, Chair6, Chair7, Throne, Table, Mug, and List.

 

        Type 'view <object>' to take a look at each one (eg. view chair2).

 

        Enjoy!

 

 

        A chair made up of various severed Autobot limbs and parts, creating a bizarre disgusting Frankenstein image. The back, legs and seat of the chair is maroon, and clearly owes its existance to Scattershot. A beautiful stylized Decepticon insignia rests near the top of the chair's backing, crafted from Air Raid's cone. The arms of the chair are just that - arms. Pink arms from the mighty Elita One. Lifeless fingers rest on the side of the chair, never to move again. Overall, the colour scheme is hideous with the pink, maroon and black. But the insignia stands out nicely, and despite how uncomfortable it looks, it truly is smooth and well crafted. The fact you can make out the dead hands, wrists, fingers and joints in Elita's arms give it a creepy look.

 

 

        A chair made up of nearly all gunmetal and chrome. It is thick, and big enough for even Gestalt Commanders and others of their size. The metal is very blocky, but has clearly been forced and bent into its current shape. The entire chair seems to be made up of various plating and hull parts, and on one of the panels is the words, in English, 'EDC Exo-Suit - Glaive II. Commander Michael Jenson Briar'. The chair is accentuated with small plashes of colour, including Rodimus maroon red for the arms of the chair, another Air Raid black Decepticon insignia emblazoned on the back, and an Elita One pink Decepticon insignia emblazoned on the front. This chair speaks of power and strength, and is very sturdy.

 

 

        Before you is a grotesque, disgusting, and downright creepy artifact. This chair is made up completely of Transformer limbs, all spewing forth from a single bright red sheet of armour that serves as the backbone and provides the support. The legs are made up of clawing arms, reaching out and grasping at the ground in a disfigured position, trying to escape the manic bindings of the chair. A leg juts out at an odd angle, bending at the knee in a direction that it shouldn't normally bend. It looks broken and defeated. Among the limbs, one can make out no less than two and a half scarred and torn versions of Moonracer's arm. Another of the arms, grasping up into the air with fingers outstretched clearly belongs to a Junkion. Songbird, in particular. The leg bent backwards also once belonged to her. The red metal, although nearly completely consumed by the grasping limbs that encircle it, is the same colour of Inferno's. This chair is very uncomfortable to sit in, both physically and, depending on the individual, mentally. Overall, this chair is a disgusting tribute to pain, suffering, and to the futility of war.

 

 

        This chair is a bizarre amalgamation of metal chips of varying coloured armoured pieces and is the right height for a Seeker. On a whole, it resembles something made out of chip-wood, except with metal fragments. Were one to look very closely, they could see from Streetwise's chassis, Dynamo's chest piece, and large chunks of Computron's armour. The only three recognizable objects on the chair is Elita's headlight facing forward on one arm of the chair, and Jazz's headlight on the other. On the back of the chair, a track from Twin Twist's drill tank mode has been embedded into the frame. Overall, this chair is a tribute to desperate times where even the smallest materials can be combined to make something useful.

 

 

        This chair is smaller than most. A minibot or Cassetticon would feel right at home here, though a Gestalt limb could squeeze himself into it with minimal problems. This chair is a dark but still cheerful red. Any Decepticon will immediately recognize the colour as being identical to the hated Autobot insignia. The chair is made up of about 8 different slabs of the red metal, and if you look at the chair directly from the front, it looks identical to the symbol itself, only in a three dimensional, chair-shaped manner. The 'eyes' of the Autobot insignia rests halfway up the chair's back, and the 'cheeks' form the arms of the chair. The only robot in existance with an Autobot symbol this huge is Metroplex. This chair is a tribute to the fact that even the biggest, most powerful, and most seemingly invincible creature can still be brought down by something small so long as the weak warrior uses his brain.

 

(New BB message (11/12) posted to 'Charstaff' by Pathfinder: re: Scrapper)

 

        This chair is, aside from possibly the throne, the most impressive in Scrapper's display. Not because of the skill that put it together (great as that may be) but rather the materials that went into it. The chair is large, clearly meant to be capable of supporting anything short of a Gestalt. The chair is mostly the dark grey of the Dinobots Slag, Snarl, and Grimlock. Two of Slag's golden plates are fixed to the side of the chair. The fact that the Autobot elite paid for this chair is remarkable, but not as remarkable as noticing Blaster's handle, white sections of Scattershot chest, the gold from Grimlock's chest, the white from Sky Lynx, the light green of Kup's chest, and the sparkles of Elita One's pink sprinkled throughout the chair. Emblazoned on the front of the chair are three Autobot insignias belonging to Grimlock, Kup, and Sky Lynx. Three of the toughest Autobots ever to exist. This chair is well crafted, but the impressive array of Autobots involved is even moreso. It is a tribute to the fact that no matter how good you think you are... no matter HOW much of a God your puny little ego has told you that you are... no matter how F**KING confident and badass you think you are, there is ALWAYS someone bigger, better, and MORE POWERFUL than you are. Take a seat, bitch, because you aren't so special afterall.

 

        Except Galvatron who is the most powerful thing ever in existance, yessiree.

 

 

        This chair would fit a Seeker comfortably. Its colour scheme is mostly red, powder blue, and white. The blue, at first glance, would seem to come from Hot Spot, but a keen eye will notice that the thick armour plating means it could only come from Defensor. The sight of red and white from the Protectobot limbs would seem to support this theory. There's a brilliant splash of red that serves as the backrest for the chair, which used to be the front of Inferno's chest cab module. The very thin arms of the chair are made up of two silver prongs. Closer inspection will indicate that they're one of Overload's forklift prongs slashed in half lengthwise. Adding to the red and white is a smattering of additional colour, courtesy of Jetfire.

 

 

        By far the most impressive. It is a throne. No more, no less. It is grand enough to be for Lord Galvatron himself. The throne is huge, standing almost as tall as Cyclonus. But it is not the size that makes one think that this is for Galvatron, but rather the colourscheme. Although it is supplemented by other metals, including that of Scattershot's maroon, Moonracer's light green, and Elita One's pink, DepthCharge's ice blue, Air Raid's black, the majority of the chair is made up of the fiery scheme of red, orange and yellow. The shades of the colouring matches up perfectly with Rodimus Prime, the Autobot Commander, who's parts were graciously donated by Motormaster of the Stunticons. The back of the chair has the flame insignia of the hated Autobot Commander, and the arms are his dark red. To Scrapper, it says something that the pieces that were once a part of one of the most noble beings is only fit for a resting place for a Decepticon's ass.

 

 

        A four legged table with an oval surface. It is metallic grey and looks like it would be full of jagged sharp corners and edges, yet the entire piece is as smooth as marble. One's sense of touch would clearly be in argument with their sense of sight. Despite the cruppled appearance, the words 'UN ANAN SHRIKE' can be seen written in black letters on the surface of the table. How the words are straight when the surface of the table appears crumpled, yet is /truly/ smooth... defies the eye. The four pillars that serve as its legs are strong and sturdy, and are equally as smooth. The entire table is big enough for a group of ten or so Decepticons to sit around. It is truly magnificant.

Outskirts of Crystal City

 

     The vast Sagros Plain yields to more broken ground at its northern border, where grim evidence of war reasserts itself. Craters of various diameters with rusted, torn rims become more and more frequent, especially surrounding Crystal City and the badly-damaged roadway leading north from it, but around the city itself, it is mysteriously clear. Or not so mysteriously; the city has been under construction for years and is finally nearing completion. From nearby, it is difficult to see much more than the massive city walls and the upper stories of its tallest buildings, but from further away or from the air, the graceful indigo steel-and-crystal towers are more visible.
