Hey, I finally decided try out the whole "naming skins with song lyrics" thing that people do, and I found a lyric that fits this character pretty well.

Anyways, this is my Transformers OC from a few months ago. I know ClayMan1077 made a Transformers version of my persona, but this is a skin version of the Decepticon OC I made based on Universe (2008) Onslaught.

Now, here's a story about my character, who I'm going to refer to as IG-13 for now, since he doesn't have a name:

IG-13 of Kaon was forged during the era of the caste system. Thanks to his armored personnel carrier alternate mode, he was put in the mines, but became a gladiator in the illegal pits. He was one of the greatest fighters in the pits, but was finally bested after a winning streak of 33 fights by Megatron, and joined his Decepticon movement. When the war began, he served as the commander of a squadron in Protihex, and stayed behind to serve under Shockwave's command when Megatron left the plan on the Nemesis to pursue Optimus Prime and crew of the Ark as they searched for the AllSpark in the depths of space.

When Shockwave began sending soldiers into the field to die to the Autobots and their newly-raised Titan, Metroplex, IG-13 began to grow worried about his new leader. The fear grew when Shockwave started perform experiments on Vehicons in an attempt to create a new breed of supersoldiers. It all came to a head when Shockwave order IG-13 to lead a squad to the caverns beneath the Toraxxis Plains to awaken Trypticon, who he learned had been in stasis there since the Age of the Primes. However, knowing how dangerous the mission was, IG-13 didn't want to risk losing more troops and refused to lead the mission. Pronouncing him a traitor, Shockwave announced that IG-13 would be executed for disobeying orders and questioning his commanding officer.

As he was marched to the plank to be thrown into the smelting pool of Darkmount, IG-13 used his wrist-mounted laser knife to cut himself free and threw both Vehicons into the pit. Then, he fire his cannons at the others, charging at Shockwave. The two dueled next to the smelting pool, and the fight ended with IG-13 throwing Shockwave into the pool. However, he had forgotten that the Decepticon transformed into a spaceship. As Shockwave flew out of the pit, he ran into IG-13, before firing his laser cannon (mounted at the front of his alt-mode) right through his enemy's chest. The blast sent IG-13 flying through Darkmount's walls and plummeting down to the ground a couple hundred feet. Somehow, he managed to survive, but was presumed dead by all Decepticons on Cybertron, including Shockwave.

Dragging his shattered body back into Darkmount without the guards seeing him, he made his way to a repair bay, where he fixed his body. After his repairs, he attempted to sneak out, but was seen by a pair of Vehicons, who he promptly shot dead. One of the them was able to sound the alarm, however, and Darkmount began to go on lockdown. IG-13 transformed and drove through the hallways, ran up the stairs, and made it to the shuttle bay, stealing a ship, whereupon he flew off of Cybertron, heading to Quintessa, where he stole a larger spacecraft. Following leads across the galaxy, he arrived on Earth and met with Megatron after several years, rejoining his team of Earthbound Decepticons and waging battle against the Autobots.

Back on Cybertron, a resentful Shockwave began plotting revenge, and, as his most trusted lieutenant Sunstorm brought him his team's latest finding, the Void Scepter of Mortilus, which was used to create Trypticon and could control him. At that moment, Shockwave got an idea...

Wow, I didn't think I could write so much about one character. Anyways, I hope you like the skin. Comment your thoughts down below, and possible names for him. He's supposed to turn into a Cybertronian version of Universe Onslaught's alt-mode (linked above) and I linked the blog with my drawing of him from a few months ago above, but I'll also attach the image here.


And also, if you need to visualize the characters in the story, the Decepticons and Autobots in the story are based on their Planet X figures (Pluto, Coeus, Jupiter, Apocalypse, and Senectus), with the exception of the Vehicons, who are based on their APC Toys figures.
