The Creation Story

The Grand Plan
The Quintesson Scheme
Ultimately, Quintus Prime's end goal was to merge Cybertron and Unicron into one, thus creating a "utopia" where the Transformers lived in peace as mindless slaves to the Quintessons.
When Unicron bit the dust, this plan was foiled until the Secret Order began making its move. With Quintus being freed and Ragnarok restoring himself as Thunderwing, the plan was revised to instead merge Cybertron with its moons and have Thunderwing serve as Unicron's placement (because he was induced with Dark Energon).
Now that the Quintessons have lost Thunderwing and Quintus, they have been forced to go to their last resort: the Grand Architect, whom they have made an alliance with in the hopes of conquering Cybertron.
The Grand Architect's plan
Overview
The Grand Architect is Adaptus, who is gathering an army to repel the threat of "the Beast", which he saw while traveling into the future through the Warren. What he doesn't realize is that "the Beast" is of his own making; by gathering the Regenesis ores, which he believes will repel the Beast after powering the God Gun, he inadverently creates the Beast through the combination of the ores.
Pulling Adaptus' strings is Lord Imperious, who knows of the Beast's true nature and is directing Adaptus towards collecting the ores and building the God Gun so that the Beast can be created and used by the Destructons to wipe out the Transformers.
The Quintessons are also helping the Destructons, having given up on trying to enslave their creations. They also may be the reason behind the Destructons' creation.
[will add how Liege Maximo and Onyx Prime tie into this]
Details
The God Gun: Meant to "drill a hole" in the universe and bring forth the Beast. This instead opens up a path to the Higher Realms and unleashes the Omega Guardians/Vok. Also doubles as "the Hub," operated by Liege Maximo.
Regenesis Ores: The ores are required for the God Gun
The Talisman: Being used by the Destructons to create Dire Wraith hybrids
Emberstone:
Omega Supreme: Will be brainwashed to lead the Quintessons' Omega Sentinels.
Rung/The Matrix:
Other notes:
Unicron will be revealed to have been Primus/Rung's "brother"
Unicron and Primacron may be merged into essentially the same character.
Adaptus is planning to use the Regenesis ores and the Talisman to recreate Unicron, which Lord Imperious tells him will be key to repelling Future Primus.
The Titan Masters' plan to end the legacy of the Primes is unrelated to the Grand Architect's and instead ties into Onyx Prime and his time-traveling shenanigans (as in they know the truth and are preparing for his dismantling of what he had built). They plan on using the Underbase to show everyone the true nature of the Primes ('cos it knows everything).
Original plan
Inspired by ProtectronPrime's theory.
The Grand Architect is Primacron. The creator of Primus and Unicron, he is aghast at the havoc his creations (and sub-creations) have caused and is seeking to correct his mistake by creating a new techno-organic species to supplant them... but first, he must destroy all the Transformers.
Primacron is preparing for something. The TFs were meant to confront and repel that something but he has deemed them unworthy.
The Destructons are results of Primacron's earlier machinations and are serving under him. After capturing Omega Supreme so that the Quintessons can operate on him, they are sent to Earth to use the humans as test subjects, with Scorponok and his crew working in conjunction with him.
The Dire Wraiths are also working with the Grand Architect, creating hybrids of themselves and Transformers as experiments. This is how the Vis Vitalis comes into play, and ties into the Phantom Fleet disappearing into the Dark Nebula. (There's also the implication in IDW that Unicron created them, and if Primacron created Unicron...)
The Quintessons are allied with the Grand Architect, having been put in control of Cybertron in the ancient past to maintain order. They are supplying their Terrorbots to manipulate the Ultracons and handle things on Cybertron.
The Mutants will also be results of experiments. In fact, I'm seriously considering bringing Animorphs into the mix. What is wrong with me?
---
...And apparently Rung is Primus, Tyrest is Solomus, Censere is Mortilus, and the Magnificence is Epistemus. Hmm.
Another way of going about it is that the Grand Architect isn't Primacron but is still serving him. Perhaps he's been tasked with "reuniting" the Guiding Hand for Primacron's purposes.
In any case, Primacron plans to "recreate" Unicron from Earth via the Talisman. Maybe Gaea from Fun Publications will arise from this?
The Shockwave - Onyx Thing
Not sure how I would implement this if at all. Right now I'm thinking about having it be a clone or one of Shockwave's duplicate bodies or even Shockblast being sent into the past during a Transwarp test and yeah, the Onyx Prime stuff happens.
Or I could just have Gnashteeth/Beast Megatron become Onyx Prime.
Onyx is just Onyx.
Titan Master stuff
--Necro is going around resurrecting people
--Dreadnaut will take over Overlord's corpse
--Quickswitch used to be Dynamus until he was injured at Carpessa and forced to live in a "life-support suit" that is Quickswitch.
Unicron's Origins
-The Primacron, leader of Antilla, activated the Talisman which ended up creating the Dead Universe. Primacron's soul was merged with Antilla, now a dead world, creating Unicron. [will flesh out later]

Notes
--Elita-Two has since renamed herself Solus (or something along those lines)
--Sandstorm has been freed and is working closely with Elita-Two.

What he doesn't realize is that "the Beast" is of his own making; by gathering the Regenesis ores, which he believes will repel the Beast after powering the God Gun, he inadverently creates the Beast through the combination of the ores.
Pulling Adaptus' strings is Lord Imperious, who knows of the Beast's true nature and is directing Adaptus towards collecting the ores and building the God Gun so that the Beast can be created and used by the Destructons to wipe out the Transformers.
The Quintessons are also helping the Destructons, having given up on trying to enslave their creations. They also may be the reason behind the Destructons' creation.
[will add how Liege Maximo and Onyx Prime tie into this]
Details
The God Gun: Meant to "drill a hole" in the universe and bring forth the Beast. This instead opens up a path to the Higher Realms and unleashes the Omega Guardians/Vok. Also doubles as "the Hub," operated by Liege Maximo.
Regenesis Ores: The ores are required for the God Gun
The Talisman: Being used by the Destructons to create Dire Wraith hybrids
Emberstone:
Omega Supreme: Will be brainwashed to lead the Quintessons' Omega Sentinels.
Rung/The Matrix:
Other notes:
Unicron will be revealed to have been Primus/Rung's "brother"
Unicron and Primacron may be merged into essentially the same character.
Adaptus is planning to use the Regenesis ores and the Talisman to recreate Unicron, which Lord Imperious tells him will be key to repelling Future Primus.
The Titan Masters' plan to end the legacy of the Primes is unrelated to the Grand Architect's and instead ties into Onyx Prime and his time-traveling shenanigans (as in they know the truth and are preparing for his dismantling of what he had built). They plan on using the Underbase to show everyone the true nature of the Primes ('cos it knows everything).
Original plan
Inspired by ProtectronPrime's theory.
The Grand Architect is Primacron. The creator of Primus and Unicron, he is aghast at the havoc his creations (and sub-creations) have caused and is seeking to correct his mistake by creating a new techno-organic species to supplant them... but first, he must destroy all the Transformers.
Primacron is preparing for something. The TFs were meant to confront and repel that something but he has deemed them unworthy.
The Destructons are results of Primacron's earlier machinations and are serving under him. After capturing Omega Supreme so that the Quintessons can operate on him, they are sent to Earth to use the humans as test subjects, with Scorponok and his crew working in conjunction with him.
The Dire Wraiths are also working with the Grand Architect, creating hybrids of themselves and Transformers as experiments. This is how the Vis Vitalis comes into play, and ties into the Phantom Fleet disappearing into the Dark Nebula. (There's also the implication in IDW that Unicron created them, and if Primacron created Unicron...)
The Quintessons are allied with the Grand Architect, having been put in control of Cybertron in the ancient past to maintain order. They are supplying their Terrorbots to manipulate the Ultracons and handle things on Cybertron.
The Mutants will also be results of experiments. In fact, I'm seriously considering bringing Animorphs into the mix. What is wrong with me?
---
...And apparently Rung is Primus, Tyrest is Solomus, Censere is Mortilus, and the Magnificence is Epistemus. Hmm.
Another way of going about it is that the Grand Architect isn't Primacron but is still serving him. Perhaps he's been tasked with "reuniting" the Guiding Hand for Primacron's purposes.
In any case, Primacron plans to "recreate" Unicron from Earth via the Talisman. Maybe Gaea from Fun Publications will arise from this?
The Shockwave - Onyx Thing
Onyx is just Onyx.
Titan Master stuff
--Necro is going around resurrecting people
--Dreadnaut will take over Overlord's corpse
--Quickswitch used to be Dynamus until he was injured at Carpessa and forced to live in a "life-support suit" that is Quickswitch.
Unicron's Origins
-The Primacron, leader of Antilla, activated the Talisman which ended up creating the Dead Universe. Primacron's soul was merged with Antilla, now a dead world, creating Unicron. [will flesh out later]

Other notes/ideas

--The Multiforce will appear as natives of Devisiun.

--Liege Maximo will return as a threat. A connection to the Maximals may be revealed.

--The Talisman (IDW, not TLK) will come into play. Oh, and hey, turns out it created Unicron in IDW. Hmm.

The Sliding Scale
Canceled; elements will be reused for Pax CybertroniaPlot
Premise: Elita-One and co hunt down Monstercons.
Paradron: Responding to a mysterious call from Spectrosynth, Team Elita comes to Paradron to deal with the Cybercomrade Sect, who are trying to topple Paradron society by exposing the First One's ruthless tactics. Little do they know that the First One is using their plot to be rid of all Decepticons on Paradron.
Notes
--Elita-Two has since renamed herself Solus (or something along those lines)
--Sandstorm has been freed and is working closely with Elita-Two.

Monsters We've Become
The Monsterbots are Autobot mercenaries who are called in for work most Autobots could never bring themselves to do. The story is split into three "segments", each one starting with a word tied to each Monsterbot (repugnant, grotesque, and double-cross)
Segment 1: The Monsterbots save Beast natives from the Terrorcons. Repugnus and Grotusque argue over their statuses as mercenaries.
Segment 2:
Segment 3:

Tarn's scars / grudge w/Grimlock
Unsurprisingly, there was no additional backstory given to this line in MTMTE– though it’s clear that Tarn had a personal grudge against Grimlock. When Tarn was newly rebuilt, and finally had his empurata fully repaired, he had a run-in with Grimlock, who injured his brand new face. He never repaired his face in order to serve a reminder to himself to never let his guard down or be caught unawares again (even though he, uh, totally was in this issue… oh Tarn sweetie). Essentially, a form of self-punishment for what he perceived as his own weakness in allowing himself to be injured in the first place.
Alex then explained that the damage on the mask, however, is self-inflicted. Tarn had a lot of issues about his face, obviously, being an empurata victim, then getting a whole new face, having that face disfigured, wearing a mask, etc. So it became a nervous tick of Tarn’s to claw/pick at the mask over his facial scarring (presumably in lieu of picking at clawing/picking at the scars themselves).

"The Lost Light RP"
From James Roberts + Jack Lawrence on Twitter
---
Nautica's DM
Hound plays a Cleric
Rewind's a paladin
Blades is a barbarian
Swerve likes playing a wizard, but the others find his dice stacking annoying.
Rung played, but I can't remember anything about his character.
Who’s always asking what dice to roll because they keep forgetting (because that’s me in RPG’s forever)
That was Riptide, but he eventually forgot to even turn up, so it all worked out.
Rodimus joins 6 sessions in, refuses to be caught up on the story insisting he’ll “pick it up during the session,” and also doesn’t understand how the classes work so he picks the one that looks the coolest to him in the handbook. Never plays again after that
Rodimus would 100% be the worst player ever
