Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles (3 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC. Another theory suggests the bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC. But there are still mysteries to be discovered...

A groundbridge opens, Backbeat steps out followed by a group of vehicons and the Illustionist.
This, is an old place. Thy heard the legends! Thee stones hold secrets.
Backbeat laughs a he holds out the small book in his fingers.
' I'm counting on it... The secrets here will rock the world... Ha Ha Ha! '

Magnia follows out of the groundbridge and lands softly onto the grass. Examining the area, the femme is very confused. She hadn't had much time on the surface of Earth, mostly aboard the Nemesis. The feeling of the grass and soil beneath her was uncomfortable to say the least. And what to think of atriving in a ring of stone blocks? Mag personally was beggining to lose hope on this "plan" of Backbeat's. She steps up beside him and looks to his faceplate. What exactly is this place even supposed to be? All I see is flora and standard earths found on Earth. The only thing strange is the placement of the stone and your thought process. The femme says somewhat unsettled by the silence here. Normally there was a lot more animal activity frm her experiences.

Methuselah felt something here. A presence. Maybe it was just his ancient processor playing tricks, but it may have been his artifact sensor. Methuselah had a knack for secrets, and he felt one here. He'd failed his last task of guarding, but he'd try not to fail this one. Now he just needed to see who these mech's and femmes were. After all, they may be the good ones. Methuselah spoke in an ancient Cybertronian language, known only to few.
What art thine intentions?
Methuselah posed virtually no threat, but was armed nonetheless. The 36 foot mech walked slowly and grudgingly towards the group of cons, keeping his face under his ancient battlemask.

Mire follows after Magnia, the bulky 32 ft fem exiting along with her cadre of Vehicons, hands on the hilts of her scythes. She immediately noticed Methuselah's weathered form and peculiar speaeh as the bot advanced towards them.
"You speak the Primal Vernacular. I know it well enough to understand, old one, and our business is our own. If you understand us and have any idea of what's good for you, you'll keep your fragging distance."
Mire's eyes ran over Methuselah beneath the angled sweep of her visor, mouth tucked into a frown. She repeats herself in strangled Primal Vernacular.
"Leave us be."

Backbeat looks at Magnia, amused at the lack of faith. Although you couldn't tell from his lack of a mouth, he was enjoying being planet-side... Still probably going to burn it all to the ground if he could. But it was like a pet goldfish dying at this point, he could always get another...
' Relax will you, all will be revealed... Besides. I hear this is a good tourism spot this time of year... Anyway...
Suddenly the group notices the unknown guardian. The Illusionist speaks up first, he could only speak English and old English.
We seek-ith the magic of thee ruins and thy permission to pass unharmed great guardian!
Backbeat steps forward, pushing the Illusionist out of the way, and speaks in the same ancient language... But still managed to make sure his relaxed tone made it through this serious language.
' Our intentions? We're just here to use the Stonehenge for a few minutes. There's a party happening here and we're inviting some friends over... We'll only be a few minutes. Then we'll be out of your figurative hair... '

Methuselah frowned. A celebration? On hallowed ground? Primus, what had civilization degraded to? The old mech sighed, and analyzed his surroundings. A group of armed soldiers, and one had gone to order him. Perhaps the soldiers were celebrating a victory. If Methuselah had a beard, he'd be stroking it.
A million better places for a celebration.

Mag sadly hasn't understood a word spoken by anyone but Backbeat, who spoke as if the newcomer was not pleased with their arrival. Obviously whatever here was important and willing to be founght iver and protected from others. Keeping here digits near the grip of her handgun, the femme examined Methusela, spotting age immediately. Mag had seen very few cybertronians so old, most had died already. So are we good then? Is this bot going to try and get in our way Backbeat? She asks, hoping for something more interesting than admiring rocks.

A ground bridge would open a distance away, before closing(offering another individual access to the area before shutting however) A sleek white and golden sports car would enter, one which would be all too familiar to some of the Decepticons stationed at the region. The car would not drive directly towards them, but rather it was on a highway beside the henge, neutrally driving with its polished paint reflecting the rays of the sunlight.
Within the cars inner workings, the Decepticons were highlighted by a red hexagon, and all their signatures were locked onto with haste, as the car would continue to move. Plexo would never attack, but charge his weapons nonetheless. They never sounded anything more than a low hum of an extra engine--as the car gently drove through the empty roads. The regal gold and pure white sports car would continue to drive silently, as Plexo would make his observations. Backbeat was here, alongside his cronies. It would seem the mech was up to no good once more. Luckily this time, there was no Primal to make things more complicated. Or an insane femme in a cloak for that matter. Plexo would show up as a neutral on scanners, though perhaps the insane Deception leader would know the damage the warrior was capable of.
Plexo in turn knew Backbeat's own capabilities. As he highlighted and scoped in on Backbeat and the surrounding Decepticons, Plexo would mentally narrow his optics to slits. These Deceptions often proved to be nothing but trouble. Still. If they gave him the proper reason to attack, he would. Plans on effectively destroying them were already being formed, along with back-Up plans. Lucky for Plexo all his systems were primed and prepared for combat--though it would be extremely hard to tell he was about to commit an act of war just yet. Plexo also set his HUD to alert him of anything in the atmosphere--if the bird-femme was returning, then she would be meeting him once more in another brutal torturement. Maybe even her undoing. As for Backbeat--Plexo had reviewed his little involvement last time, and knew Backbeat's portaging frequency. He could nullify it if he focused his expellers properly. Still--the Deceptions seemed to be acting friendly or doubtful. Whatever they were up to was to be monitored nonetheless.

Backbeat nods at the old warrior, noticing an white car on the highway behind the old warrior.
' Cool... Thanks. '
He takes a few steps before stopping, as if he just remembered something.
' I should mention... We intercepted a message and there's a chance that rival group's going to try to destroy this place... We're cool with helping you defend it... But if you see someone who isn't one of us... Feel free to smash 'em, kill 'em, and otherwise hurt them... Who knows? Might have fun. '
Backbeat speaks to the other Decepticons in English
' Well, we got permission. Few ground rules... Keep the signal jammers on at all times, try not to desecrate anything, make sure our host doesn't know we're the bad guys, and kill any Autobots you see. Now... I think it's time to show everyone the real reason we're here... '
Backbeat walks up to the largest of the standing stones and punches it. Causing bits of stone to fall off and reveal technology form cybertron's golden age... Un-active since time unknown. The Illustionist jumps back in shock, dropping his usual fake accent.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID NOT TO DESECRATE ANYTHING!
Backbeat laughs
' What do you know... It worked...'

Watch thy self. I shal deter the foe.
Methuselah, with servos creaking and aching, forming an emp chakram in each servos. Methuselah's accuracy was among the greatest, and the chakram a were nothing to sneeze at. If the unknown car wanted these secrets, well, he'd have to work damn hard to even reach them. Methuselah was old, and would likely lose the fight, but any Primus damned cybertronian could see that he would not yield until his spark did, if even then. Ancient language or no, the message was clear as Methuselah let out a cry and hurled the chakrams, likely to hit. The car would take a moment to move, it was doubtful that he could transform fast enough, and Methuselah was accurate.

The vehicons get to work clearing away rocks and rubble from the standing stones, Backbeat notices the guardian attacking the mysterious car.
' Well... That worked out better than I expected... '
He looks at the other Decepticons
' Get ready... The Autobots could be here any second... '
Backbeat points at the Illusionist and turns to look at the uncovered cybertronian pillar.
' You know what to do... '
The Illusionist nods his hooded head and raises his glowing hands
I summon thee powers of thee dark sciences and magics. Defend us from our foes!
And energy shield appears around the standing stones and Decepticons

The Apocalypticons filtered out of the Groundbridge in single file, Deathgrip and Meltdown in their Alt Modes as they take up defensive positions around the area. Quaketread gazed over the area, watching Methuselah attack the Sports car, with no-one trying to stop him, he reasoned he was on their side. Quaketread approached Backbeat with heavy footsteps.
"We're here, what will you be requiring of us?"
Behind them, Jetlag transformed and rocketed vertically into the sky, pulling into a wide search pattern high in the skies, looking for any sign of Autobots imoeding on Stonehenge,his scanners watching the surrounding countryside for any sign of Groundbridges or unaccounted for ID signatures.

Backbeat turns to look at Quaketread, behind him was an very old cybertronian control system.
' Once I activate this... The Autobots will be here faster than Blurr. When they do... All of you will kill them... We even have the help of this place's guardian. Told you I was a "people person". Though if he does clue in and try to stop us... Feel free to gut him like a fish. '
He turns back to the machine and fires a blast of the corrupted cyber key energy at it. This influx of energy causes the ancient machine to activate. Vehicons rush and start hooking up an energon battery to it. Backbeat walks up to the controls and begins to reprogram it. Considering the code was in ancient cybertronian... This would take sometime
' Just once... I want a piece of ancient technology that knows either modern Cybertronian... Or English... '

A few long moments later Backbeat finishes his work. He hits a large button
' While the Autobots foil the plans of our more expendable associates... I break reality it's self. After the conquest of the universe... I'll be signing autographs. Just think... Two or three realities and and I finally defeat the Autobots... THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER! '
He throws his hands in the air as the ancient portal activates in front of him... Charges of, greenish, corrupted energy arc across the ruins. Backbeat laughs as the ruins shoot a beam of energy into the air above them... Opening a large fracture in the sky. From the howling portal a small object falls. It hits Backbeat in the head... He picks it off of the ground. He holds up the charred remains of a familiar bucket-headed helmet. He starts to talk to it like it was an old friend. Other pieces of metal debris and what appear to be dead cybertronians also fall out of the portal, landing all around the area.
' What's this? A relic of the past? You had your chance. You ruined my fun before... Well guess what? It's my show now... I'll send Primal your regards. '
He tosses the helmet aside and laughs. The charred helmet lands at Quaketread's feet. He turns to face the other Decepticons. Behind him a very beat up star ship exits the portal and lands next to the group of Decepticons. You could barely work out the letters M, A, and S from the hull. It was a small ship that looked like it was missing a very large amount of it's parts. Backbeat laughs as walks over to it...
' The guests have arrived! This party can finally begin! '
The fracture repairs it's self as the ancient cybertronian machninary overloads and becomes inopperable. Rendering any attempts to reactivate it futile.

((Yeah if this is what i think it is, no. You can't bring in the old MAS ship from TFU because of two reasons. 1. No ships. 2. No dimension hopping/travel. If it's not, would you kindly explain what it is?))

(( 1. It's not really a ship... It's more of a ship shaped pile of rubble. 2. Backbeat just plucked the remains of the MAS ship from a dead reality that was overwritten by this one. I'll have Backbeat explain the full details of how in character in a later post. But I'm using the explanation that the extreme similarities between Transformers Universe and Galaxy are because they are the same universe mutated by the Unicron Singularity (It's on TFWIKI ), which cause continuity problems for the larger universal streams and really messed with smaller ones. Using this explanation, I'm going to say that there was no "universe/dimension" hopping.
I really hope that works as an explanation. If not... Could we allow this, just the one time because I removed anyway to reuse this plan? ))

Post by Dr. Brain End on Dec 22, 2015 23:33:31 GMT
The last one out of the portal was Brain End, he stayed in the back, and remained silent, he was interested to see what this place had to do with Backbeats plans. But, decided instead of asking questions like the others, he'd wait, and wait fir his questions to answered either now, or as the bosses plans unfold. It was like reading a good story, you can't just skip right to the end, you've gotta wait, and find things out in steps, otherwise it would just get boring.

(( I'll just take this a green light... ))
Backbeat signals his troops and vehicons begin to open the wreaked hull with energy blades. Once an entrance was made, Backbeat would step into the wreckage, he approaches an broken energy conduit and signals for a vehicon to attach an energon battery to it. This would cause emergency lights to activate, a sickly red glow fills the broken corridors. What appear to be strange looking vehicons begun to activate and exit the ship.
Backbeat steps out of the ship and addresses the rest of the Decepticons.
' Alright, I want vehicons unloading the barrels of chemicals for pick up via drop ship, Quaketread is in charge of forming a defensive perimeter around the ship. Dr. Brain End I want you to rig one of the barrels to remotely explode in case the Autobots show... The rest of you are on defense. Remember, avoid any exposure to the chemical or else... '

Brain End would nod in response to the Commanders orders, and got to work it was a simple task, nothing too complicated, which under normal circumstances would insult his intelligence, but in this case it meant moving things along, so he did the task without question. Converting his servo into a blow torch, the mech would weld a basic charge to one of the cannisters, he then carefully place a few grenades around said barrel. He figured if he was rigging something to explode, he wanted it to do damage too. As he worked two more appendages would come out of small compartments in his back, and would retrieve a data pad from his sub-space, he'd then type in a few codes with the clawed digits. He would whistle a cheerful tune as he worked.
Once finished he would take a few steps back from the barrel, one of his extra arms would hold the data pad in front of his faceplate, while the other retracted back into the same compartment it came from. He'd then chuckle too himself at the thought of having to set this thing off on an unsuspecting Autobot. Using his camouflage ability, his armours colours would change to match that of his surroundings, the doctor then took a few more steps back to ensure he was out of the blast radius, and waited silently for in case someone approached.
