Empire Of Rust

The crew is hot on the trail of the rogue mercenary Axer, and their search leads them straight to The Fighting Gladiator — a Decepticon dive where the lights flicker, the energon is greasy, and the grudges run deep. But instead of finding their quarry, they find IronLift — Harmonium’s own military envoy — halfway through a pitcher and itching for a scrap. As tensions boil over in the darkest...

The team takes a breather, but that doesn’t mean things slow down! Magnum and Spindrift journey to the outskirts of the city to visit Little Iacon, a vibrant and fiercely independent Mini-Con commune with its own culture, quirks, and secrets. Meanwhile, Carapace and Sweet Spot check in with the local tech scene for some long-overdue upgrades—because a little armor never hurts when your past keeps...

After forging a fragile alliance with the Harmonium, Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift return to Cybertron—accompanied by four new ambassadors eager to witness the beating spark of their galactic neighbor. But even amidst the bustle of Iacon, the team finds no rest. As upgrades are made and gear is purchased, an unexpected piece of news sends ripples through the group. An old ally…...

With the Quartet gathered and Prime Arbiter Cortex ready to speak, Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift stand before the leadership of the Harmonium to receive their long-awaited recognition. A stirring speech from Cortex signals a historic shift—Harmonium will seek alliance with Cybertron. But as rewards are given and honors bestowed, one voice among the Quartet remains conspicuously silen...

The tide is turning on the Harmonium! With Prime Arbiter Cortex convinced to join forces with Cybertron, the future of the alliance looks bright—but there’s still one last obstacle in the way. Seraphim 7, the enigmatic and calculating member of the Quartet, remains unconvinced, and it’ll take every ounce of diplomacy, strategy, and maybe a little luck for Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrif...

Diplomacy continues as Sweet Spot, Carapace, and Magnum each take their turn to sway the most powerful bot on Harmonium—Prime Arbiter Cortex. With the fate of an alliance between Cybertron and Harmonium hanging in the balance, every word matters, every argument carries weight, and every hesitation could mean disaster. Can our heroes convince Cortex and the rest of the elite that Cybertron is the a...

The diplomatic dance continues as Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift push forward in their negotiations with The Quartet, the rulers of the Harmonium. Convincing a single leader is one thing, but swaying an entire council—especially one deeply entrenched in their own caste-driven ideology—is a challenge unlike any other. With Cybertron’s future on the line, the team must navigate the shif...

Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift arrive in the heart of the Harmonium capital, but the gleaming skyline hides a darker truth. As they explore the district, they witness firsthand how Micromasters are treated as little more than second-class citizens, trapped at the bottom of the planet’s rigid caste system. But there’s no time to dwell on injustices—not yet. The diplomatic function awaits, and th...

The battle rages to its climactic finish as Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift throw everything they’ve got at the giant Mechanoworm! But even with the beast on its last legs—er, coils—it won’t go down without a fight. With battered armor, drained energon, and systems pushed to their limits, the team must pull off one final, desperate maneuver to take the monster down for good. We want to...

We’re back, the hiatus is over! The battle heats up as Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift take on their deadliest foe yet — a colossal Mechanoworm — while hurtling down the monorail of the Harmonium planet! With the rails shaking beneath them and the world speeding past in a blur, the team must think fast, fight hard, and hold on for dear life. Can they outmaneuver this titanic terr...
