The Transformers: Rise Of Darkness
Project Overview
A rewrite of the 1986 Transformers film, molded into a trilogy, and to be a multiverse story. This film will be part of a larger continuity that I'm soft rebooting, starting here.

A small role in the beginning of the first film, reprising in the second or third section of the trilogy. He's a wise bot, being Kranix's father figure, and the reason Kranix hasn't created a chemical weapon and used it on himself by accident.
Kranix, look! The moon's gone terminal!
The sole survivor of Unicron's attack on Lithone, since his friend Arblus falls to a different fate.
Arblus, look! It's Unicron!
The Ships! Get to the ships! It's our only chance!
Essentially the same character as Unicron from the 1986 Transformers film. To put it simply, space satan.

balance has been destabilized. light outweighs dark.
A voice similar to that of Victor Caroli or Steve Blum as narrators throughout the franchise.
It is the year 2005...
The war is lost.
Similar to the Optimus from the original 1984 cartoon. You do NOT have to do a Peter Cullen Impression, or any other impression.

I understand your pain, old friend. But even still, you must travel to Autobot City back on Earth. They have supplies stockpiled for us
Ironhide! Report your findings!
I am glad to hear it. Take some others to expedite your trip. Especially Ratchet. I’ve heard Autobot City could need his skills.
Following the original Marvel bio, Thundercracker has defected to the Autobots, and acts as a technician and tactical advisor.

Engines fueled, check… viewscreens and glass polished, check… readings reset, check… Alright, crew! We’re ready for takeoff!
Just a figure of speech, buddy. I’ll make sure he won’t hit you.
massively untrustworthy toward Thundercracker, Brawn's throwing insults the entire time he's in the film.
- male young adult
Whatever you say, retro-rat.
He’s just playin’ the long game, you’ll see!
A quiet, calculated strategist, and excellent navigator. He doesn't say much, especially after he gets his internals melted.
- male young adult
Brawn, we’ve been over this. You cannot continue to call Thundercracker a spy. He defected 7 years ago.
A bit of a curmudgeon, but he appreciates skill when he sees it. And he REALLY appreciates Thundercracker's presence. Thundercracker knows his pain of being underappreciated, and reciprocates

Would both of you pipe down? I’m trying to conduct pilot’s checks over here! Wonderful job with the logging, Thundercracker! This typeface is almost as good as mine!
General, we really need to review the code of conduct with you.
A paranoid little fella. His best friend is Thundercracker, since he's stuck in orbit of Cybertron now, rather than Earth with his other friends Blaster and Jazz.
He normally acts as a pace car for departing and entering shuttles, using a tractor beam, similar to what happens in G1's Megatron's Master Plan multi-parter.

I’d prefer if you didn’t hit me, general.
Aiiiieeeeeeee(you can replace this with a generic yell if you want)!!! Thundercracker! You said you wouldn’t hit me!
Reluctantly following the exact same order of engaging shuttle launch sequences, Cliff's tired. He'll take the first possible chance to get off the moon base and back to earth.
He gets denied time after time to fulfil this wish, and ends up getting almost no screen time. He'll be back in the other two films, though!
Engaged, sir.
A bare bones copy of Teletraan one's AI, the moon base computer's main purpose is to be a text to speech.
Beginning countdown. Five. Four
My Lord, the Autobots have sent a shuttle to Earth.
For once, my Lord, I agree with Starscream’s statement. Assaulting that shuttle is the smartest route.
He's a real smooth talker. I've based the vibe off of Fred Tatasciore's performance in the High Moon games. He's only rude when someone goes against his will, or is Starscream. Or an Autobot. Though he still has respect toward Optimus, along with deserter Thundercracker.

Why does this concern us, Shockwave? We have won. Perhaps they are leaving the system for good.
You dense buffoon! Once we hijack the shuttle, We can get safe landing into Autobot City, and destroy it!
Welcome, Decepticons! Our mission is simple. I shall split us into three teams. One led by Soundwave, another by Starscream, and the third by myself.

Incorrect. Data retrieved by Laserbeak suggests that Earth’s Autobot City is passing supplies back to the Autobot Moon Base. With these materials in mind, the Autobots have a 73.274% chance of retaking Cybertron.

Flash Drive’s right! We need to take action and wipe the Autobots off the face of the planet!
Don’t talk back, moron! Do what Megatron says, or I’ll have your head!
Am I actually being smart for once, or did you really just say that we need ALL of our troops to attack that freighter?
Attention Decepticons! Megatron wants all but 5 of you out of each sector to report to the loading bay.
Finally! We can wipe those Autobots out of the Universe!
Blitz, are you certain that this is the plan? I have a feeling that I’m going to get stuffed and sent out into space again.
Leader of the constructicons, who keeps himself fairly reserved compared to his compatriots.
not necessary, but I think it'd be funny if he had a New York or Boston accent.
Mixmaster, goo 'im!
Ayyyy! You got it, Boss-bot!
ayyyyy bada bing! This guy's a wise-crackin' new yorka!
Ayy, you got it boss!
Bada Bing!
It's Hot Rod!
Wrong! They're our way in! heee-yah!
Not bad for an old timer!
Stereotypical child
I dunno... Hot Rod...
Where's my dad?
Chill dude. Might've smoked robo-weed
Heyyy, You doin' alright, Skids?
You sure this is ethical?
Old guy.
Old Timer?
Stay away, lad! That's Prime's fight!
Doesn't do much, but I wanted him to be included.
Beachcomber! It isn't safe out here!
Head Autobot medic, now that Ratchet's retired.
Grapple, form a tightrope with your winch!
Trailbreaker, encase that in a shield to cover our exit!
Fairly simple bot. Takes pride in his work.
Sir! We've recovered the injured
You're going to want to see this...
a bot of few words, and many actions
Acknowledged. Mobilizing.
External paneling... damaged.
Very cocky. He deserves it, considering his skill.
Hey, Rocket-man, you need some help?
Let's shake these bogeys, eh?
Lackluster Lackey of Bombshell
Tear him asunder... Asunder...!
Sorry, boss... boss...
Written based on my old golf coach
Been better.
These bugs are givin' me trouble, though
Sarcastic, self-depreciating city commander
In *English* please?
Oh that's just *greeaaatttt*
With me, Zippy.
A bot of many, many words. "Say something once, why say it again?"
Sir, my evaluations show that it appears Skyfire is doing nominal, with an Autobot unknown to our database tailing with him. However, the Decepticons are 150 kilometers from the city. We will need to rally every soldier we have in order to make up for our deficiency created by 47.877946 percent of our soldiers -
A wise-cracking right hand man to Ultra Magnus, keeping his soldiers in order, while keeping the mood cool with jokes.
He's got a snark to his voice, similar to Han Solo or Indiana Jones, depending on the scene
Eurgh... Remind me to give the autopilot a raise!
Cut him some slack, Magnus! He's sayin' what he knows- Science!
Put a sock in it and your foot on the pedal, Zippy!
A quick-moving sports car. He's a bit of a motormouth.
You can either:
Talk at a fast pace, please don't speed up your voice.
Talk in a suave manner, like Blurr was planned to in early drafts of the 1986 movie.
NOTE: The image is of his cyberverse appearance, since it matches closely with my velocitron Blurr figure.
What about me, Magnus? my schedule's open! I wanna help, let me help, I can get everything done in no time-!
You got it, boss! Nobody's gonna pick up the pace like I can, I can guaruntee!
Soft hearted, hard headed, Autobot kickass!
But Springer, we can’t transform the city! There are too many soldiers out there!
A time traveler, coming from a few days in the future, to perpetuate a paradox he creates in one of the following movies.
Just in time! You got a spare wheel, doc? I lost one to laserfire on my way in.
I don't know why I'd need a full set, but a fresh set of whitewalls would be pretty spiffy.
Shield your eyes, doc! I'm getting outta here!
may or may not have invented the atom bomb.
Not great, sir. We're gettin' mollywhopped out here!
You! New Guy! Radio Powerglide for Air support!
Sudden new guy in the autobot ranks. He quickly gets accustomed to the workings of the command structure
I never had a name back home.
I don't have any missiles...
Yes sir!
Dumb muscle of the insecticons
Delicious, eh boss?
Sorry, boss...
Valiant leader of the Autobot Sky patrol
What's up, hubs?
Yeah, we've got wings.
Don't rust your muffler.
A pretty simple character. He dies after a few lines.
Get 'im!
A good mix between Generation one and Rise of the Beasts
Oh, hollup, here comes that hypno-prick
We missed.
I... I dunno, man...
He's a chill guy, other than when he's not with his husband, Red. When Red's away from him, he FREAKS and worries like crazy. Don't worry, Red Reciprocates.
I've got your back. When you're done with that, could you call Red?
WHERE'S RED?? IS HE ALRIGHT?
A chipper guy. He'd take you fishing like you're his kid.
Yeah, just a moment. Let me get Ironhide to stop yammering!
You got it! Sorry pal, but I got orders to follow
Be there in a second, Hoist!
Gay gay homosexual gay
Don't you worry about me, Teddy. I'll be alright.
Yes Doctor?
Stay safe out there, Doc! Keep mu husband outta trouble!
A pretty quiet guy. A lot like Hoist.
Uh... Boss?
We got trouble coming!
Would you two stop bickering and get aboard?
Chipper radio host! He keeps morale high, and defense ratings higher!
Gooooooooooooood afternoon, Vietnam!
You got it, Percy! Cover your receptors, it's about to get LOUD!
Tiny New Yorker!
Ayy, you got it, boss!
Ye-heah!
Prepare to crumble, you're goin' up against...
He doesn't do much here. He'll come in in movie 2.
The dinobots and aerialbots too!
Tiny New Yorker pt. 2!
Let's bash heads!
FRENZY AND RUMBLE!
Surprisingly, this big palooka can use a complex word every now and then!
Die, Autobots! None shall escape our wrath!
Augh! Insolent Rats!
Says one thing, and dies while saying it.
Springer, is that thing in place yet? I'm not sure how much longer I-AAAHHHH!
An aged-up version of the kid genius!
Hey, Chief, any more losses? My status readings on the City are struggling.
Ship captain for Optimus' voyage to Autobot City.
Ultra Magnus, do you read? We are approaching orbit of Earth.
Glad to hear your voice, Jackie.
AUGH! WE ARE UNDER FIRE! I REPEAT! THE COMBATICONS ARE HIDING ON THE MOON! SEND ANYBODY YOU CAN-
Has a single line, no visual appearance, and arrives fashionably late to the battle of Autobot City.
Yeah, you got it, I guess.
A lot like his Aligned interpretation. He's the surrogate Aerialbot leader
You got it, boss bot! Move out, crew!
Leader of the Dinobots, talking in clear suave speech when needed, but mostly sticking to rudimentary understandings of English.
Optimus, when do dinobots get to play?
ooh-hoo! Devastator will have fun with us Dinobots!
Me Grimlock no want to wait! We want take down Devastator now!
The other dinobots don't do anything but have some adlib dialog and overlapped groaning.
*Say something you think would fit*

A pretty simplistic dude. He's shellshocked from watching his friends die in front of him, so he doesn't say much.
Prime, what do we do?
Hotheaded speedy punk! predecessor to Hot Rod, really.
Lemme at em! I can handle it, trust me!
A slightly different take on the Autobot leader from Transformers: Armada, just burnt out from weeks and weeks of hopping between Universes using hijacked Unicronian tech.
When he returns for the second film, he'll have cooled his jets.
Damnit, laser! Your tech’s still screw- wait… this is where we need to be. I can feel it in the Matrix.
He's a bit of an asshole. He's hot off the tails of being corrupted by Unicron for 13 years. He gets VERY antsy when Armada Optimus gets philosophical. He enjoys talking about things he knows, mostly about the war against the Decepticons.
Oh come ON, Optimus! Not this whole thing again. Just help me look around this place. Looks like the Decepticons were just here. Their energy comp is still in trace amounts in the rubble.
A young, propeller powered biplane, with a rocket booster to keep pace with his comrades in the group "Mav's Mavs" headed by Maverick. He only has one line in this film, and should sound similar to Miles Prower from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
On it, Mav!
A twin to Skyquake, and a formidable force in the group "Mav's Mavs", a team headed by Maverick. He only has one line in this film, and should sound similar to his appearance in Transformers: Prime.
Yes, sir.
The twin brother of Dreadwing, and a member of the team "Mav's Mavs" headed by Maverick. He only has one line in this film, and should sound like his appearance in Transformers: Prime.
You got it.
