This fanzine is written by diehard Transformers, BW, and now Beast Machines. I wanted to created my own TF universe for my to share my imagination with other folks who grew-up and love the whole TF mystique. When you read my tales who want you to come away with the same excitement you got from hte Transformers movie and same interest for the characters like the G1 cartoons and the the recent Beast Wars series.

The X SAGA BEGINS

The story starts when the Decepti-X Impact leader UNITAUR leads a assault team to Cybertron in an attempt to weaken Cybertron's planetary defenses. In the wildpitched battle against the Maximal, Autobots, and Auto- X Impact forces, they accidently uncover an ancient inter-dimensional space bridge that transports them to a mythical Cybertron city known as Xi (an lost Atlantic-like civilization hidden away in void between time and space) There Unitaur's force and the band of other Cybertronians found themselves fighting a whole new battle that not only could affect Cybertron but the Universe as we know it. The stakes are high and difference factions of Autobots and Decepticons cross sides. Things are not as clear cut anymore between good and evil. Our starts off as these forces converge on a location to find an object called the Celestial Key.

Onyx: "Where have FT gotten us into. One minute we're swapping laser fire with Unitaur and his merry group, and next we're walking in circles looking for some dumb ancient Cybertronian artifact far from home in another dimension.

Grimlock: "Shut up Onyx, me think you talk too much. Furius sent us to find Key. We find Key."

Onyx: "Right, Ol' mighty leader commands, we follow. You would think this guy was Optimus Prime or something."

As the team of 5 Auto-X, Autobots and one ex-Decepticon argue, one of them -Hotzone- picks up some unexplained reading on his scanners.

Hotzone: "Something is not right with this. Grimlock I I'm picking something up. I think it could be what we're looking for. This place is making hard to pick it up precisely. I'm going to get a closer sniff around."

Hotzone transforms into desert terrain vehicle and zips off to investigate. As he goes over a hill, he appears to disappear into the ernie Aurora Borealis-like glow over the horizon of the Void. The terrain resembles a cross-between the planet of Junkion and Cybertron. Hotzone manages to home in on his target and reports to the others.

Hotzone: Grrrrr-lock ivvvvv found krkkkkkkkkkit!!!!!! It's amazing Krrrrrrrrrr!!! Wait I'm under attack!!!! Get your butt over here. KKKRRRRkkrrrrrrrr!!! Can't Krrrrrrrrrr!!! Krrrrrrrrrr!!! (explosion and an horrified scream and then static silence over the Grimlock's communicator)

Grimlock: "Move your metal butts!!! Our comrade need us."

They reach the location to only find a burning charred ground resembling a shadowy silhouette. Nearby bits and pieces of what appears to be a hand grasping on to a laser rifle. With horror they relive it's Hotzone's mangle charred arm holding it.

Cutter: "What did this?"

Grimlock: "What ever it is, it pay dearly, I sworn to Primus."

Onyx: "I would normally say Unitaur but I have a bad feeling it is someone or something worst. I told you that this was bad idea but nobody listens to good 'ol Onyx."

Xeochrome: "Onyx this is the wrong time. A comrade has fallen. Show some respect for once in your pathetic Decepticon life."

Grimlock activates his long-range communicator to contact Furius Turbine and the others who are still in the lost city of Xi to report the incident. After hearing the news, Turbines pauses then orders them to immediately leave the area and return. Grimlock would normally resist in rebellious protest but he follows his leader orders and they head back with the memory of their brave little Autobot in their thoughts.

The X Saga Begins
EPISODE:

INTO THE VOID SOLDER - PART 1"

If you missed last week's opener, we introduced you to a group of factional Cybertronians called X Impact. One Autobot and the other Decepticon -- ex-patriots. They were fighting vicious battle when both sides were swipe into a inter-dimension portal that took them to a dark void where the leguendary Cybertronian Lost City of Xi existed hidden for eons. There the X Impact Autobots and Decepticons discovered that there were mysteries and unspeakable powers within the void that could change the very nature of the Universe. In Xi, both sides realized that if the Lost City of Xi could exist then it was possible that great the Celestrial Key could exist also. There the Auto-X and Decepti-X tooks sides in a great quest to find the Celestrial Key and to uncover the mystery to its powers. A power that could reveal the Transformers true path and the secerts of Universe. Unbeknown to the Cybertronians there also existed great perils that not only threaten them but also Cybertron. As we continue, a motley crew of Auto-X, Autobots and a former Deception encounter some great evil that has destroyed one their members. They return to Xi and report to the Auto-X Impact Commander Furius Turbine.

Dinobot: Hotzone was scouting the parameter when he encounter something. When we finally arrived he was vaped. Nothing but his arm still clutching on to his laser rifle.

Furius Turbine: Times like this, I wished I had the wisdom of Prime. Did you notice anything that would suggest if the Decepti-X had a hand in this.

Dinobot: No. But me feel in my exostructure that this was not them. There was something extra malicious about the attack. Unitaur is cold as slag but his more apt to extract information first then blow him away. There wasn't enough time between the attack and our arrival.

Xeochrome: May I speak with you Furius in private.

Furius Turbine: Okay.

(Furius and Xeochrome walk away from the group)

Furius Turbine: What is it soldier?

Xeochrome: While we were scanning the parameter, I secretly got a encoded message from our Auto-X double agent Peril that Unitaur has made some inroads and possible might have located teh entrance to the Hidden.

Furius Turbine: Did he give you the coordinates?

Xeochrome: No. It seems Unitaur suspects that there's a spy but he doesn't suspects him.

Furius Turbine: Good. Execute Apha Trion, immediately.

Furius Turbine: If we are going to stop Unitaur we must move now. The stakes are too high to loss this one. If we fail, I dare not think of the consequences.

(The scene changes to the area outside Xi where the Decepti-X have re-grouped)

Fangry: Why should we Predicons follow Unitaur and his Decepti-X scum. I say we Predicons rush Xi and crush the Auto-X allied forces.

A huge dark fiqure emerges from the shadows and causes the group of Predicons to back away from Fangry , lumbering fiqure behind him steeped into the light. It's a enraged Unitaur.

Unitaur: You dare to oppose me!

(swings and smack the ambivalent Predicon to the ground)

Unitaur: Who else shares his opinion!

(There's a fearful silence that hovers over the Preds)

CyberAxe: Commander, I have great news to share.

Unitaur: Speak.

CyberAxe: My drone scout has located the entrance to the Hidden.

Unitaur: Excellent. Prepare my loyal minions, we Decept-X, Decepticons and Predicons to usher in a new age in Cybertron history. Under my rule, we will wipe away the shame that has dog our race ever since the Autobots defeated us in the Last Geat War. Those who share our vison, will rule together. Those such as Fangry......

(a frightenly familiar grin appeared on Unitaur's face)

A brilliant flash of light shot from the Unitaur's eye and hit "dead-on" it's target--- poor Fangry -- resulting in a devastating explosion. Leaving Fangry in a smoldering pile of metal parts, wires, and flying sparks.

Unitaur: Anyone who dares to cross us will be dealt with as you can see

As Peril looks on, he knows that he must keep his cover at all cost or he too will share the same fate.

"INTO THE VOID SOLDER - PART 2"

The story started when we introduced you to a group of factional Cybertronians called X Impact. One Autobot and the other Decepticon -- ex-patriots. They were fighting a vicious battle when both sides were swept into a inter-dimensional portal that took them to a dark void where the leguendary Cybertronian Lost City of Xi existed hidden for eons. There the X Impact Autobots and Decepticons discovered that there were mysteries and unspeakable powers within the void that could change the very nature of the Universe. In Xi, both sides realized that if the Lost City of Xi could exist then it was possible that the great Celestrial Key could exist also. There the Auto-X and Decepti-X tooks sides in a great quest to find the Celestrial Key and to uncover the mystery to its powers. A power that could reveal the Transformers true path and the secrets of Universe. Unbeknown to the Cybertronians there also existed great perils that not only threaten them but also Cybertron. As we conclude Part 2 of "Into the Void Soldier" Furius Turbine learned that the Decept-X discovered something called the Hidden. It became urgent to him to move immediately to stop Decepti-X from uncoevring secret within the Hidden. The Hidden was recorded in Cybertronian history as a library of great knowledge. Knowledge that Unitaur deperately wanted. Knowledge to everything predating Cybertrons creation and possibly the knowledge to the wherebouts of the Celestrial Key. Meanwhile, in deep cover, the double agent spy - Peril helps Unitaur in a all-out race to to seize the Hidden.

Unitaur: We're so close. Victory is nye.

Peril: Hey, boss what's the big rush to find the Hidden. I thought we were suppose to get the Celestrial Key.

Unitaur: Celestrial Key is only half of the puzzle. Without the knowledge to use it. It is useless to me.

CyberAxe: We are a few clicks from where my drone scout spotted the entrance.

All of a sudden, the converging Decept-X force was bombarded with laser fire from the ground and the air. On the ground below echoed a loud battlecry: "Auto-X Allies hitem with all you got!." It was a determined Furius Turbine calling for action. Action his troops delivered with blinding fury at the Decepti-X forces.

Unitaur: Decepti-X counterattack!!

Peril: These guys are hitting us left and right.

Unitaur: If the fools only knew.

The action lights up the horizon in the distance. Auto-X and Decepti-X clash in a fierce laser-to-laser, hand-to-hand combat.

Jazz: Gangway! (a land cruiser rams right into a group of Predicons sending them flying)

Dinobot: Furius notices a few Decepti-X soldiers missing from the battle.

Furius Turbine: We've been had. This was a deversion. Unitaur got us out here to focus our attention away from the real mission. Dinobot I need you Grimlock, Blaster and Blur to try to locate Unitaur's crack team and stop them from accessing the Hidden.

The Autobots secretly depart the scene.

Unitaur: Furius Turbine even in victory, I win the war.

Furius Turbine: I will stop you tyrant at all cost.

Furius transforms into a fighter jet and launched a feverous assault at the Decepti-X leader.

Unitaur: A mere scratch to my exterior. Now it's my turn.

The gigantic Decepti-X leader transforms into monsterous heavily-armored tank-like uni-cycle and race into action, firing a mounted plasma cannon. Furius is hit hard and smarts from the attack.

Far from the battle. The Autobots led by Dinobot race against time to stop the Decepti-X from reaching the Hidden.

Blaster: Dino I got the rascals locked on my locating scanners.

Dinobot: Let's shift into full gear comrades.

Moments later the Autobots reach their destination only to find wholesale carnage.

Blaster: It looks like a hurricane went through here.

Dinobot: It would seem someone or something did our work for us.

Outside a huge entrance, various body parts resembling the Decept-X force scattered all about. The earth was severly scorched from a huge battle.

Blaster: What should we do now?

Dinobot: Access the Hidden.

The Autobots enter the entrance and inspected the area for a panel to open the gigantic titanium door.

Blur: IIfoundddthepanelllltotheeeedoor.

As soon as they attempted to access it. A holoprojector activated and a image of a ancient being appeared before them. It began to speak.

"Beware, seekers of knowledge, the data we have collected from the beginning of time holds dangers that we fear if released would spell dire consequences for the Universe outside this inter-dimensional void which we sealed closed from outsiders. We stored all the here knowledge that we felt was too tempting and dangerous to have available to those foolish enough to use it for there own misguided purposes. As a extra ensurance we have place centurions to watch over the secrets of the Void for eternity. If you have activated this message. I would turn around and leave this place while still cnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!"

Blaster: I think we should do what the guy said and jet.

Dinobot: Autobots transform and pull back!! We must return to the group and leave this cursed place before we all end up like the scrap before us.

NEXT: The Centurions Unleashed

EDISODE:

"THE CENTURIONS UNLEASHED WITH VENGENCE"

The story started when we introduced you to a group of factional Cybertronians called X Impact. One Autobot and the other Decepticon -- ex-patriots. They were fighting a vicious battle when both sides were swept into a inter-dimensional portal that took them to a dark void where the leguendary Cybertronian Lost City of Xi existed hidden for eons. There the X Impact Autobots and Decepticons discovered that there were mysteries and unspeakable powers within the void that could change the very nature of the Universe. In Xi, both sides realized that if the Lost City of Xi could exist then it was possible that great the Celestrial Key could exist also. There the Auto-X and Decepti-X tooks sides in a great quest to find the Celestrial Key and to uncover the mystery to its powers. A power that could reveal the Transformers true path and the secerts of Universe. Unbeknown to the Cybertronians there also existed great perils that not only threaten them but also Cybertron. As we continues, the Auto-X lead by Furius Turbine led an assault on the Unitaur force which was advancing on a location believed the Hidden. Furius relived that Unitaur tricked him into attack to throw him off from the real advancing forces. So Furius sent a team lead by Dinobot to try to stop the Decepti-X forces from accessing the Hidden. When the Autobots reached they saw nothing carnage and destruction. It seemed as someone or something stopped the Decepti-X from attaining knowledge in the Hidden. The Autobots attempted to do hat the Decepti-X failed at. Instead, they activated a holoprojection of a long-anciented being that warned them of the coming of the Centurions - the keepers of the Void and its many secrets. This warning was heeded by the Auto-X and they proceeded to return to inform Furius of they're discovery. Furius pulled back his troops have to safe positions near the city of Xi.

Dinobot: Furius!

Xeochrome: They're back.

The Auto-X dispatch from their vehicle counterparts and all transformed into their respective robot modes.

Furius Turbine: What have you discovered?

Dinobot: We find the Decepti-X forced that Unitaur sent ahead. Or aleast what was left of them. It's seems the beings who created this Void, don't take too kindly to strangers. We might be facing some enemy known as the Centurions.

Furius Turbine: By Primus, Autobots, Impact, Maximals we might be forcing the biggest threat since Unicron.

Grimlock: Me not understand.

Furius Turbine: Long time predating the fractionalization of the Transformer race into Autobot and Decepticon, there were beings called the Centurions who were enforcers for a race called the Org. It was rumored that the Centurions were cruel and powerful. They were the most forced beings ever known. That's is all written about them in the Chronicles.

Mech: It's been so long. How do we know they still exist. And even if they do. Surely, we have advanced enough to handle them in battle. Compared to us, they might be no better threat then an over-sized drone.

Xeochrome: Don't be sure Mech. There's somethings in the Universe that is beyond our technlogy.

Just as Xeochrome spoke, elsewhere in the darkness of the Void, a twinkle light coming towards the planet where the Cybertronians inhabited. As light came closer, it on the shape of a ancient space vessel. The inhabitants of the ship unknown. The ship slowed and drifted towards the planetoid. A disk-like object emerged from the ship's belly and began to scan the planet's surface where the Auto-X and Decepti-X where entrenched. After, scanning the surface, the shipped stopped in mid-orbit. Inside the ship, a conveyor belt and machinery started up. Parts of something was being assembled. Something huge. Later the assembly stopped. Eight errie glowing eyes appeared in the darkness then a voices spoke:

First voice: "Once again my brethren, we're called upon by Ancient ones."

Second voice: "Death to the seekers."

Third voice: "Pain and suffering."

Four voice: "Let's be done with it."

The four emerged from the ship. They appearence invoked terror and awe in their huge presence. It seems as though the Centurions, too, are TRANSFORMERS. As one of them transformers into some huge flying dragon-like beast and flew the other three on his back to the planet's surface. Meanwhile, on the planet's surface, the Furius Turbines plans to evacuate the Auto-X forces and try to get to themselves back to Cybertron if possible.

Furius Turbine: How's the effort on accessing inter-diminsional portal from here.

Mech: This technology is way beyond anything that I have seen. It seemds as if whoever created this thing came from the distant future. It would take me many cycles to figure this stuff out.

Xeochrome: We don't got cycles. Get it working now.

Mech: All give the old Autobot try. (he heads back to his work)

Furius Turbine: If we can't get the portal to work. We're going to have to settle our differences with Decepti-X and combine our forces to fight this threat.

Laser fire is heard nearby. It's several Maximals firing an advancing Decepti-X force.

Furius Turbine: Just what we need now. Under normal condition, I would love to knock that steel smirk off your face. However, situation has reached critical. We must....

Unitaur: I know. It seems something destroyed my troops. Something any power that we can imagine. As you have deducted, we must put aside our differences and combine our faces in order to deal with against these Centur-rrrrrrrrrr!!!!! (a huge hurtling ball flames struck and Unitaur is sent flying from the impact.

In the errie starless sky, a huge beast shooting flames from it mouth began attacking the Cybertronians. It scorched Unitaur and began to decimate his troops. Turning them into molten metal.

Furius Turbine: Are you alright Unitaur!!

Unitaur: Back away Auto-X, I'm merely singed. We need to found cover from thattttt thingggg. Decepti-X follow me.

Those unhurt or unseverely damaged by the initial attack began to run for cover. The beast that attack came around again. This time it landed on the ground with a huge wind from its flipping wings. Three robotic creatures dismounted from the beast's back. One of them began to speak.

First voice: Greeting children of Cybertron. I see you have evolved. We are the Centurions. We have come here to extinquish you sparks. I am called Monstrus. Meet my companions.

Second voice: I am Skulkurr....I delivery death.

Third voice: I am Hydra....I inflict pain and agony.

Four voice: I am Dreadnot...let the carnage begin.

The four started to advance towards the Cybertronians who were trying to ecape their attackers. These Centurions were cold and calculating. One by one they started to fire weapons at retreating Auto-X's, Decepti-X's alike. They played no favored in their lust to destroy whatever stood in their path. In a few minutes they incinerated half of Unitaur's and Furius's forces trying to escape. The Centurion powers were almost god-like in proportion. Nothing that the Cybertronians could do seem to stop the Centurions. The last few surviving fled to the City of Xi for a final stand off.
