Nightbird

“…”

Nightbird was not originally from Cybertron, but was instead created by an Earth scientist by the name of Dr. Fujiyama in 1985 as an all-purpose combat drone to benefit humanity. Upon hearing of Nightbird’s creation, Megatron, disgusted at the prospect of seeing another robot “enslaved” by their creator, ordered his Decepticons to bring her onto the Nemesis. There, Megatron and his trusted scientist Bombshell were able to override her original programming and provide her with free thought and will. Eternally grateful, the silent Nightbird pledged herself loyal to the bots who gifted her with sentience, and is considered one of the deadliest warriors among Strika’s forces.

Strength: 8 Intelligence: 6 Speed: 8 Endurance: 5 Rank: 5 Courage: 7 Firepower: 7 Skill: 9

Notes:

as per her earth wars incarnation, her alt mode is some type of car. Presumably Megatron had Bombshell outfit her with a proper alt mode during the reformatting.

Victory

“As you command...”

After the Decepticons’ crash landing on Earth left Nemesis unresponsive, Megatron had appointed his top engineers to construct a more durable spacecraft with whatever materials they could gather. The result was Victory, a ship designed to be faster and sturdier than Nemesis had ever hoped to be.

But her construction was almost for naught. On her maiden voyage, the Decepticons set the course for Cybertron, but her engines had been sabotaged by the mercenary Mirage, who was at the time under the employment of Optimus Prime.

The failure of her engines sent Victory to the bottom of the ocean, where she remained to serve as the Decepticons’ base until Nemesis made a full recovery.

Victory has since been abandoned by Megatron’s forces in favor of her “sister,” and she still rests in the depths of the Atlantic, alone and restless.

Strength: 10 Intelligence: 7 Speed: 10 Endurance: 10 Rank: 7 Courage: 9 Firepower: 7 Skill: 7

Notes:

Victory’s been abandoned for nearly 10 years. She’s probably really bored.

Windblade

“We must provide a voice to the unheard.”

Windblade was built by the people of the planet Zamojin from data collected from Decepticon invaders. She was then discovered by Rodimus and Perceptor, who offered to provide her with proper Autobot training in order for her to overcome her Decepticon programming and be more than a mindless war machine.

Windblade already shows potential as a skilled swordswoman and powerful telepath, but is still picking up on the social cues of both Cybertron and Earth.

Strength: 7 Intelligence: 8 Speed:8 Endurance: 7 Rank: 8 Courage: 7 Firepower: 6 Skill: 9

Notes:

her design is based more on her concept art

Jackbot Units

One of the most well-known features of Monacus is the Jackbot unit, a mechanical drone created for personal gambling. Some services provided by Jackbot units include personal card dealer, dice roller, slot machine, and bagatelle game.

Notes:

the Jackbot unit was inspired by Pin-Bot, the title character of the game by Williams Electronics. The game spawned two sequels, including the gambling-themed Jack-Bot.

according to the mod’s twitter, the bot depicted using the Jackbot unit is a headmaster named Bullet. Given his size, we can assume that the machines are constructed in many different sizes for ease of operation.
