Based upon Marvel's Civil War story arc and the upcoming movie of the same name. Read the sign up thread for details on the teams and applications.
It is supposed to be a time of peace. The Decepticons were defeated and had left Earth, and the Autobots and Humans were living together peacefully. That would all change with one human military general making a proposition which would tear the Autobot faction in two.
General Tobias Anderson was on his way to the most important meeting of his life. He was going to give The Government's proposition to The Autobots. He enters into a huge cargo bay, where four Autobots were waiting. Optimus Prime: The Autobot Leader Ultra Magnus: The second in command Bumblebee: Optimus' right hand Sydrone: The leader of the Autobot assassins.
Optimus would turn around Ah, General Anderson. Please, come in. The Autobot would say, Ultra Magnus nodding his greeting. We were told that the human Government had a proposition for us. Sydrone would just snort It's not going to be anything good. Optimus would glare at the young Assassin before asking Please tell us what your Government proposes, General.
Anderson would nod before opening up the file and ready clearly Our Government proposes that we carry on living in peace, as a symbiotic relationship. But... We want you to partner with our military. You will not be able to run any Operations without first consulting us, but you will be making a difference in the wars we have going on, with the other humans who would threaten us. You will register your names and abilities in an undisclosed location, and we will deploy you all around the globe, helping keep the world a better place. A more secure place for both Transformers and Humans to live in.
Sydrone would immediately react to this And how are we supposed to know who's really the bad guy?
General Anderson really didn't like this guy. You don't think you'll be informed of the misdeeds of the people? These are terrorists, Sydrone. They're evil.
Ultra Magnus would nod his acceptance at this This seems like a mutually beneficial relationship. We both keep this world safe, we both are able to fight another day. We will make this world safer and more secure, in union. he says, You can't be serious, Ultra? We need to be above this "law" that humans like so much! It allows us to carry out our operations quicker and more effectively when we don't have to ask permission first! Bumblebee would square up to Sydrone As if you Assassins would ask permission regardless. I'm siding with the Magnus on this one. Protecting humans from threats should be our top priority. Sydrone would just growl before turning to Optimus, who had been thinking all this time Tell him Prime! Optimus would take a long pause I... Agree with Sydrone. This proposal takes away all of our freedom.
General Anderson was now a little nervous. He would then go on to explain the part that he didn't like so much Um... The C.R.A or Cyra, is currently being evaluated to pass as law. We just need to get the approval of one Autobot. Any Autobots who don't agree with the registration act are... to be hunted down and brought to Justice. All Autobots seem a little taken aback. Bumblebee is the first to break the silence Well, Sy... looks like you don't have a choice. Sydrone would respond by punching Bumblebee in the face, and in a few moments the two were engaged in a full scale brawl. Bumblebee! Ultra Magnus would pull Bumblebee away from the fight, Optimus doing the same to Sydrone That's enough, Sydrone! We're leaving. The two transformed and drove away. Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee would share a worried look, before Ultra would turn and talk to the General Now, General. About your proposal. I will approve it. You have my word. General Anderson nodded and would set out to return to his superiors.
The next day, Cyra was passed as law. Optimus and Ultra started drifting apart, with some Autobots refusing to comply. The faction had its first big brawl that day. It ended with Optimus leading a team of rebels away, off to establish their own base, under heavy fire from Magnus' squad. That day was the first massive fight between those who once called each other family. Bonds shattered. Friendships broken. The Cybertronian Civil War had begun anew.

High Grand - Registration meeting Ultra Magnus and his band would gather round the holo-table, ready for the weekly report of the Registration. Autobots. Report in. The Magnus said. We weren't able to track down the location of the Terra Spire. We did, however, get into a fight with Sydrone's Assassins. They had the jump on our scouting party. We lost. No casualties though. Ironhide speaks up We shouldn't be fighting... Why can't they just see we're on the same side. And they have the advantage with the Assassins able to infiltrate us anytime they want. Ultra Magnus nods gravely before speaking to Wheeljack Speaking of Assassins, how are the proximity alarms and firewalls coming along? Wheeljack shakes his head Slowly, It's hard finding a Formula that none of the Rebels could break, let alone an Assassin. Either way, we're about 50% done. Wheeljack reports. Ultra Magnus nods before asking Anyone else have something to say?Terra Spire - Rebel Gathering Optimus Prime and the Rebels would convene Autobots, time to think about what our next move is. Optimus nods at Sydrone Good work on getting the data and tech from the CRA. We needed that to disguise our signature from them. Sydrone nods They're going to be working on a firewall and some sensors now, though. We can't be too careful with them anymore. Sydrone says, a little concern in his voice. The other Rebels nod Construction of the Terra Spire is coming along nicely Autobots. It is a bit of a shame The Assassins had to fight off a party of Autobots we shouldn't really be fighting, but it kept our position secure. Sydrone just grunts and mumbles Bumblebee had it coming... Optimus glares at the Assassin, remembering the first brawl of this Civil War being between Bumblebee and Sydrone. Optimus then asks Do we have any other notices?

I got a question. Why are you putting so much faith in the Assasains? Infiltration, field ops, hacking. With that Intel, and that trust, they could turn on us, easy. And we wouldn't be able to do scrap. In fact, big man himself might be in their pockets. If so, he could just reveal us at any given moment.
Sideswipe huffed. Many of his words were out of anger, but he made a good point. Their entire operation was beginning to balance on a few mechs. Mechs that didn't even call themselves Autobots. Besides, Sideswipe didn't really like Sydrone.
Optimus is right. This is stupid. It's till all are one, not till all are two.

Sydrone visibly reacts to Sideswipe's words but Optimus puts his hand on his shoulder to calm him The Assassins are as much Autobot as you or I, Sideswipe. Optimus says We are putting our faith in the Assassins as much as we are because, let's face it, they're the best here at infiltration. It's what they've been trained for. Seeing as we are now an underground organisation, they are our most valuable asset. In this time I would ask you to put aside your personal differences in light of the bigger picture. We need to focus on getting the Terra Spire fully operational. If you take issue with the fact that I send Sydrone on all the Steath Ops, you would be my second choice. It's just that one skilled mech is enough to get the job done in these times. Optimus explains to Sideswipe.
Sydrone would think of something and pull out a Memory, it was a powered up Hard-Drive that Sy had made, he plugs it into the holo-table, and a projection of what appeared to be a server room would appear Okay, since we've left High Grand they've converted some of the storage into server rooms to hold all the data they've got for the Registration and for how to beat us. I think we should wipe it out. Thoughts? Sydrone proposes, looking at Sideswipe You can come on this Op if you want. he says, with no malice

Sideswipe calmed down when Optimus spoke. He had more respect for him than Sydrone. But he had little respect for either, after what happened. He so very wanted to yell something or curse at Sydrone, or something. Anything. But that wouldn't help anyone. Sideswipe spoke through clanched dentas, recalling that it took a lot to be agreeing to it.
Fine. Just don't get in my way. Also, are you sure we should wipe it? Why not just take it. See how far along they've gotten. And exactly how they got this information.
Sideswipe clenched his servos, shoving past Sydrone and walking to the exit, ready to leave. He was fine with Sydrone until very recently. But the CRA did many things aside from splitting factions.

Optimus nods his head A good suggestion, Sideswipe, retrieve that data. Optimus says Sydrone strokes his chin for a bit before saying What if we take the data, then wipe it? We'll have the stuff they don't want us to see, and we'll be the only ones who have it. he says, Optimus nodding. Then Sodeswipe left and pushed past Sydrone.
Sydrone just follows Sideswipe, leaving Optimus shaking his head, catching up to the disappearing Autobot Okay, what did I do, Swipe? Sydrone asks, again, keeping his tone even and free of hostility You were never so hostile before Cyra was passed. Now that Magnus is opposing us, you've become much more hostile. he says, a hint of frustration in his voice when he talked about the other sid rod the Autobot faction.

Try again Sy. Your tactics are rusty. We wipe their stuff, they know we were there. And their defense gets worse. We wanna do this, we gotta do this right. Besides, you said it, we can't get more careful. We push on that door any more, someone's gonna lock it.
Sideswipe didn't hold back his annoyance that time. It was like he didn't think. But it was just his processor making mountains out of molehills.
Why? Really? You and your damn pride was a head to this segregation. We might have resolved this peacefully without you getting in a brawl. You and Optimus both. You assaulted good friends of mine, and you separted countless others. And you walk about as if it was your Primus-given duty.
Sideswipe breathed deeply, and countiued on. It was common for people and Cybertronians to place blame on people for incidents beyond their control. Some of the anger Sideswipe showed was to Sydrone, but most was placing blame for the separation of Autobots.

Sydrone recoils at the pure rage coming from Sideswipe. He took in what Sideswipe said, nodding at the part before he was accused of starting the whole thing. Alright... First thing's first, you've thought up a better tactic than me. Nicely done. Sydrone's stance and look would change as he prepared to be a little more aggressive with his next response I know it's in our nature to place blame on people, but come on! You're really going to accuse me of sparking this whole thing? That was the humans doing. They lit the flame. Sure I may have blown on it a little. Sydrone looks down a little, venting slightly, before continuing Maybe a little too much... But I didn't start it. This Civil War was started when the humans thought they could treat us like weapons of war. Sydrone says, evenly, but not without an aggressive edge to his voice that made the point he was making firm.

They didn't treat us like weapons of war. They treated us like they do their own special forces. They took a step far with the registration, I'll give you that, but that didn't treat us like tools. If so, they would have just passed it. Told us after. Now, arguing isn't gonna help anyone. Let's just do the damn thing, get us closer to the end of it.
Sideswipe completely ignored all other comments by Sydrone. They didn't matter. Sideswipe made his point, or at least tried. He didn't care after that.

Cyra. Whose stupid idea was it anyway? Cybertronians aren't weapons. Threats to humanity aren't an extraterrestrial problem, unless MECH comes in. Vampyricon doesn't usually care about politics, but this he had to stand against. After all, why could the USA interfere with their freedom to be somewhere else?
"Such as Canada, which is overall a much nicer place," Vampyricon thought, sitting on a cliff that overlooked the Spire. "More places to hide, much nicer government, a lack of Donald Trump and Sydrone. I should really just propose a partnership along with Artron and Paradox. Seek refuge on human rights grounds. Oh right, we're not human. Scrap."
Paradox walked up and sat down next to him. "What's wrong? Other than infighting." he asked.
"We're not human," Vamp answered, leaning on his shoulder.
"What?"
"We're not human, so we don't have human rights, so the *bleep*ing US government treats us like *bleep*ing machines, which is just *bleep*ing *bleep*." He vented, air hissing out of his intake. "I *bleep*ing hate human governments. Except Canada."
Paradox kept quiet. There was nothing he could do to calm Vamp down. At least Sydrone wasn't pissing Vamp off.
"And now we're stuck with that *bleep*ing assassin *bleep*er."
Spoke too soon. At least he bleeped his swear words. Scrap.
"And why's Arch on the other side?"
"Yeah, that kinda sucks."
"Yeah, right. Kinda. And I thought humans were the kings of understatement. And Optimus is an idiot. Leaving ain't gonna help scrap. Also the US government. We're not a fragging slave race that answers to their every whim. Watch as they get shock collars put on them."
"This fight won't last long though, both sides are trying to save humans, after all."
"From their own stupidity, apparently." Vamp lay down, his legs dangling off the cliff, looking up to where the Milky Way stretched across the night sky.
After a long silence, Paradox spoke up. "Just calm down and think about science."
"Mmmm," Vamp mumbled, thinking about science.
Meanwhile, above the old base, Artron was looking up at the same sky, while listening in on the conversation inside.
::May I propose not attacking the others when humans are at risk?:: she asked through the comm. ::Both of us are trying to help humans, after all. And can we fight only in non-populated areas?:: She knew Magnus would say yes. After all, they are Autobots.

Sydrone would hold up his finger for to indicate he wished for a moment, before opening his comm to where and his brother were sitting ::If you're gonna go on an angry rant, turn off your comm first, Vamp. I know you're annoyed about being stuck here in the same country as me and Donald Trump, but could you try not to swear so loud? Me and Sideswipe are discussing the next hit on the Pro-Reg side.:: he says before turning back to Sideswipe, and projecting a whole schematic of the base We'll enter here. he said, zooming in on the ceiling, just above the corridor that led to the server room It's usually unguarded, save for Arcee or Bulkhead patrolling every once in a while. I've seen the patrol records. he then says We'll enter into a vent and completely bypass the big door, here. Sydrone says, moving his finger halfway down the corridor We then use a Memory to download the data and off we go, through the same vent, which also leads outwards. he says.
Ultra Magnus would radio back to Artron We can try on both counts. But where we encounter our former brothers is up to chance. he says, before asking Can you do a quick fly around and then patrol the server room? It's getting too quiet around here. he requests, dismissing the other Autobots

Sideswipe was no tactical genius, but stealth ops were his forte. He took his pistol and put it on a holster attached to his back, and made sure his sword was there to. Weapons at the hip reduced stealth and got in the way. He felt something itch at the back of his helm. Some thing that felt like he was missing something. But what? He thought quickly, but he couldn't wrap his helm around it. He guessed that they would find out soon enough.
Alright, put your weapons on your back, if they aren't already. How many bots are we taking? Let's keep the number single digit and under five. Any more will slow us down and endanger being seen. No matter who they are. If you can, leave as much equipment as you can. I travel light no matter what, but I can't speak for you.
The hostility had disappeared, as if he had forgotten.

"As a matter of fact Ultra Magnus, I do."
Bumblebee said as he brought up a picutre of an Autobot and swiped it to Ultra Magnus. Bumblebee looked up at to Ultra Magnus, his cracked optic looked straight into his.
"As it seems like Optimus is using the Assassins to directly attack us. I have a possible solution to counter them. The Autobot you see infront of you is Sparkflare of Nyon. An outlier that can seems to be able to track anyone or anything. He was trained by Nitros at a young age and managed to earn himself a place on the Wreckers as a sharpshooter."
Bumblebee paused for a moment to bring up information on Sparkflare's experience during his time when he joined the Autobots and showed it to Ultra Magnus.
"Currently he has not signed on to be apart of C.R.A. but he is not going along with Optimus's rebellion. We may still have a chance to recruit him, only problem is that he is unbearably naïve on the situation and is unlikely to join either side. I was hoping you would have any ideas on the situation."

"Your former brothers," Artron thought. "My brothers are still my brothers."
Still, Artron transformed and fired her boosters, flying in a large circle around the hangar. Her main rocket would be too dangerous to use here. Seeing no one, she transformed, dropping into her portable Groundbridge.
Artron landed in the server room. Too quiet means no one's around. Which means security is working. She's starting to think Magnus isn't actually functioning properly.

Ultra Magnus turns to Bumblebee And how does he help against an Assassin, Bumblebee? The Magnus asked
Sydrone takes his sword off a nearby armoury wall and places it in the sheath on his back. Let's go. he says
((Sorry, short post, but I'm tired as hell))

"You should go," Vampyricon said.
"Hmm?" Paradox asked.
"I know you want to."
Paradox smiled. He stood up, nodding his thanks, and teleported inside.
"Mind if I come?" Paradox asked Sydrone. He had nothing visible on him, since he could pull anything he needed out of subspace.

I don't care. See if Cloak and Oversized Dagger minds.

Sydrone nods and pulls up his hoodMind if I ask if you can teleport us to the general vicinity of High Grand, Paradox? he asks, wondering just how much Paradox's teleportation ability could be used. He would extend his hidden blades, examining the various attachments on the gauntlet, making sure that he was battle ready
This is Blackjack, I've completed my scout of the base. Arton did a quick fly around, but she didn't notice me. She entered back in. You should be all clear for now. Sydrone would nod, as his best friend's voice came over the comms Good to know, Blackjack, thanks for the heads-up. Sydrone turned to Paradox You sure you could fight your own sister?

"Well other than being a pain in the aft. Before Nyon's destruction, he would regulary steal from Autobot outposts around the city undetected. He has also been able to hold himself in a fight."
Bumblebee then pulled out information of reportedly missing items such as weapons, energon and materials. Bumblebee shifted his position to be more upright and put his servos behind his back.
"In short we have a chance to gain someone who can find the Terra Spire and infiltrate it a hundred times over before Sydrone can even think to throw a sucker punch. And guessing by Sparkflare's rough upbringing in the rust narrows, he can throw a proper punch."

The Magnus looked doubtful So, you're saying that this "Sparkflare" could infiltrate a place where we don't even know the location of better than an Assassin, who's been trained to do the exact same thing their whole life. Sparkflare taught these skills to himself. I appreciate the sentiment, and am more than willing to try to recruit this Sparkflare, but do not go overstating his abilities, lest I be disappointed when we find him outside with a couple of throwing knives in his aft and a condescending note from a Master Assassin. Ultra says to Bumblebee
