First off, for you Transformers illiterate peoples out there- I made a Glossary which I will be adding to as I need it. Second, I would prefer if you put comments and reviews in the review thread for this. Yes, a Beast Era ransformers MoC Fanfic- a G1 fan's worst nightmare.
Activation Code- A word that must be said by a Maximal or Predacon to transform into their beast-mode. The word varies between factions and sub-factions, and can be changed by the Transformer.
Alternate-mode (Alt-mode)- A Transformers’ scanned mode, used mainly for transportation; this can either be a vehicle or an animal. Transformers can switch between their robot-mode and alternate-mode at will.
Aurora Squad- An elite sub-faction of the Maximals trained for combat against the toughest foes, and transform into animals. Auroras usually have unique, customized beast-modes, and are adapt at using them in combat situations.
Autobot- A faction of Transformers/Cybertronians. Autobots are generally benevolent and caring, and transform into vehicles. They fought the Decepticons in the Great Cybertronian Wars, and ultimately won. Their descendants are the Maximals. There are few surviving Autobots to date.
Beast-mode- An alternate-mode that results from a Maximal or Predacon scanning an animal.
Bot- A more informal name for a Cybertronian. Ex. Transformer/Cybertronian would be like saying human, while bot would be like saying man.
Cybertron- The Transformer’s home world; is entirely mechanical with no biological life. Population overwhelmingly consists of Maximals.
Decepticon- A faction of Transformers/Cybertronians. Decepticons are generally cruel and violent, and transform into vehicles. They fought the Autobots in the Great Cybertronian Wars, and ultimately lost. Their descendants are the Predacons. There are few surviving Decepticons to date.
Femme- A female Transformer/Cybertronian.
Maximal- A faction of Transformers/Cybertronians, and the descendants of the Autobots. Maximals are generally benevolent and caring, and can transform into either vehicles or animals. They are governed by the Maximal Elders, the Bi-Partate Committee for State Affairs, and the Maxima Imperium. The Maximals make up basically all the population on Cybertron, and are currently at peace with the Predacons, despite much resentment between the two parties.
Mech- A male Transformer/Cybertronian.
Predacon- A faction of Transformers/Cybertronians, and the descendants of the Decepticons. Predacons are generally cruel and violent, and can transform into either vehicles or animals. They are governed by an organization called the Predacon Alliance; a splintered faction consisting of various factions, the most powerful being the Tripredecus Council. The Predacons are also rued by the Bi-Partate Committee for State Affairs. There are perhaps one or two Predacons on Cybertron, most residing on remote colonies or stations, and are currently at peace with the Maximals, despite much resentment between the two parties.
Spark- 1) A Transformer’s life-force. A spark looks roughly like a bluish, round ball of electricity. It is stored in a Transformer’s Spark Chamber, usually located in the middle of the chest. If the spark is severely damaged, it will be “extinguished”, and the Transformer will die. 2) Can be roughly translated to heart, or spirit. Ex. “He had a good spark (heart).” (Note that though if damaged, the Transformer will die, a spark does not serve the same bodily function as the heart does)
Spark Chamber- Where a Transformer’s spark(1) is stored, usually located in the middle of the chest.
Sub-space- A portable storage device that can be used to store practically any object, no matter the size.
Transformer- A super-advanced robot capable of scanning a vehicle or animal to gain the ability to morph into that form at will. Also called Cybertronians.
Universal Greeting- A greeting known by most galactic species. It goes: Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong. Although its not quite common knowledge, it is an accepted way to communicate peacefully when a language barrier is present.
