The year was 2100 when they came. Seemingly out of nowhere, they struck. And 12 years later, we are still fighting them.
"They looked like... like us! But, all sinister and evil!" ~ Private Aaron 'Bumblebee' McGlinchey
"7 foot tall, at least. Some where even bigger! Like walking tanks!" ~ Lieutenant James 'Ironhide' Jones
"Humanity has blighted itself. We were too obvious. What did you think would happen if we constantly shouted into the empty void of space? Something has replied, and they did not come in peace..." ~ Doctor Lukas 'Ratchet' Armstrong
"Now is the time to fight. We do not wish this war to affect the people, but I am afraid it has come to a point where we ask everyone to take up arms in an attempt to repel the evil forces of the [explosion] [transmission cut]" ~ General Orion 'Optimus' Pax's speech in Autobot City - Earth - 2105, before the death of 40 000 Autobot citizens.
We still remember them.
We still fight.
Hello! Welcome to my new thread: 2112: Alpha Squadron
First, alongside the normal rules of these forums, I have some of my own specifically for this thread.
Alpha Squadron is my own personal AU thread, and due to the nature of what Alpha Squadron actually is, I can only allow 5 other people to join alongside me at a time in this forum. If there is a large request of people wanting to join in when it is full, I could put it on rotation so that the Alpha Squadron's active member's change to a schedule. I know this is quite unlike many other RPs, but for this thread to work, it can only be a specific number of RPers at a time. In advance, I do apologise to those not permitted, but I will try to include as many as possible over time. Thank you.

STORY
Earth, 2112. An entirely cybernetic race of aliens had arrived in orbit 12 years ago. They called themselves Decepticons. After a few months of conflict, we started to notice a change in their infantry's shape. They evolved to look more human, more threatening, more evil.
However, researchers have created a machine which transfers soldiers' conciousness into a much more agile, strong and specialised robotic unit, in an attempt to combat the Decepticon onslaught.
General Orion 'Optimus' Pax, after taking heavy damages in 2105, continues to lead the charge from his station, and rarely makes it to the field. However, six highly talented soldiers are now leading the attack, Lieutenant Alex 'Steel' Mesa in command.
