    Nightbeat found out Megatron’s true intentions of working with Nova Prime, & discovered Shockwave’s plans of transformation modding/ incorporating weaponry.  Nightbeat predicts escalating chaos & war outbreak.  Kup keeps eye on Nightbeat through Elita even after his disappearance.

    Also it might be kinda’ awesome/heartbreaking if maybe while Op is working with Megs… maybe he starts to look up to Megs and maybe even develope a crush on him. ‘Cause Op is young and kinda’ naive, thinking the best of people and everything, so it might take him a while to see Megs for what he really is and notice all the corruption
    i wanna really play that idea low
    optimus will admire megs’ abilities and all that
    but i wanna write it so that i could show it to jon and he wont’ be like
    UGH THEY’RE SO GAY WHYYYYYYY
    but i’d also encourage others who read it to write their own intervals of smex & gay love angst

    my idea for starscream, tc & warp is
    skanky nude dancers in a low-brow gentlebot’s club
    becaause
    all the bots wear clothes
    however, i dun really like the seekers in dresses 8<
    so
    keep them nude >8)
    prime & megs need clues to find agent nightbeat, and they got no leads, so megs takes prime to the Club Trinity to ask Starscream, the head skank of the establishment, if he might know somethin that could help them
    a lot of bots conduct questionable business at the club, so starscream knows things that a lot of other bots wouldn’t know about

    i’m thinkin both soundwave & shockwave to be a part of the force
    or at least soundwave
    he’d make a good spy
    and shockwave is all statistics
    he’d probably be a part of the force, but one of the strategists that’s tied to a desk
    buuuuuut >8)
    he’s also a scientist
    and in other continuities, he’s usually at odds with megatron
    soooooo
    if megatron’s a gun
    and shockwave’s a gun
    let’s say
    they’re drinking buddies
    they’re at a seedy pub
    probably the trinity
    and they’re of likemind
    shockwave tells megatron he has an idea
    and it’s about grafting a weapon to his body
    he’s not willing to experiment on himself, but he’d be totally fine with experimenting on others
    anyone else would tell him he’s insane
    and wouldn’t want to go through the disfigurement
    and then after he sees how successful it turns out with megatron, he does it to himself
    secretly
    nobody in teh force knows of megatron’s own retractable cannon
    it’s kinda like vash’s “special ability”
    it’s awesome, but shocking

    so when optimus sees megatron use his cannon for the first time, megatron insists that he doesn’t say anything
    cuz if optimus did say anything, people would think he’s nuts
    and has some kinda PTS
    and lay him off the force
    nobody would believe it
    lol i’m thinkin
    towards teh end of the fic
    before megatron makes his move to take control of omega supreme
    shockwave will attempt to kill megatron
    cuz he’s after teh same thing
    and he’ll be like
    i’ve upgraded mine
    you’re obselete
    and megatron will be like
    i upgraded mine too
    and blasts him AWAY
    and then he walks out like nothin happened

    i’m wondering if i should have chromia mentioned in the fic
    welllllllll i have an idea for femmes & low-tech vs high-tech
    like lower classes and higher classes
    and i had an idea that elita
    though she’s a spy for the CBI
    she poses as a representative for femmes and low-tech mechs
    and initially she’s not much of a civil rights activist
    she just sticks to the CBI job and doesn’t really deviate
    but while taking that role undercover, she learns more about femmes and lower-tech, and empathizes with them
    which would probably lead her to stick with the femmes at the end of the whole thing when the autobots are formed

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MCA-ElitaOne.jpg
    she’s rockin a secret agent pose~

    Hnn. I was goin’ down the character list, trying to think of roles for the people who don’t have roles yet
    i don’t expect every one of those characters to play significant parts
    like for jazz, blaster, and beachcomber
    just hinting their identities without actually giving away their names is enough for me
    cept for beachcomber, he’s got a bigger role
    i know i want optimus to come across beachcomber while he’s high
    on the streets somewhere
    and recognize him as “that drummer from the club”
    so he’ll have speaking lines
    but i dun have anything planned for jazz or blaster in terms of dialogue
    they act as characters in the bg
    of one scene

    maybe Jazz, Blaster, and Beachcomber could be musicians. Like a 50s jazz trio.
    beachcomber’s still a stoner
    he’s probably likely to drag the group under 8<
    I figured Beachcomber would play the drums
    Well, yeah. A lot of bands have a problem member
    But the other two are tryin’ SO HARD not to give up on him, but he keeps getting himself in trouble, buying drugs from shady people (Swindle), blowing off practice to get high, but so far he at least shows up for all the performances, so they’re hanging on to him. ‘Cause when he has his shit together, he’s really good.
    Jazz would be the front man
    One of them should play piano..
    jazz would probably be skilled with multiple instruments
    THaz good, ‘cause it helps if at least one or two members can stwitch it up

    …. The stunticons could be some kinda’ street gang who cut deals with the dirty cops to avoid jail time maybe?
    or
    they draw the attention of the force away from the real bad happenings

    their clothes aren’t very creatively evolved
    they’re made for practicality
    i guess
    i dun want to think deep on the clothes
    cybertronians were made to be worker slaves
    when alpha trion lead them to rebel against the quintessons to free them from slavery, it didn’t really lead to a sudden evolution of creativity
    they still need a leader
    to tell them what to do
    clothes aren’t the most important thing on their minds 8)
    starscream & his bitches might be considered creative for turning down clothing all together
    before they get their wings and armor, they’re pretty much considered naked
    they’re not skanky, they’re just “avant garde”
    LOL

    well another huge reason why i want the mechs to wear clothes
    is writing a pre-pron scene where megs is slowly undressing optimus
    and optimus is thinking
    how the hell did it come to this?
    and it’s like
    flashback tiem~
    and then start at the beginning
    maybe that event happens the night before megatron turns his gun on optimus at the very end of teh story

    I wasn’t entirely sure what the situation with the mask is in this particular story
    it could be a sign of the job, like a police uniform
    same with the badge
    but the badge is more like a dogtag
    I was thinking, ‘cause you were saying that thing last night about how they all wear masks in the field, ‘cept Megs ‘cause he plays by his own rules
    so I thought Op prolly got to the point where he just wears his most of the time
    when he’s out and about
    he does take it off at the end of the day though
    at the end of the fic, when the good mechs leave the force and establish their own opposing unit
    he wears it as a reminder of what he always worked towards

    i’m thinkin that the cy-garettes are what eventually turns megatron’s and starscream’s voices to shit
    so in teh fic, they both sound sexy 8)
    also
    it makes no sense for the robots to wear clothes if they transform into vehicles and other things 8|
    sooooo they’re just humanoid robots with block builds
    and megatron has a VERY small retractable nuclear cannon hidden in his arm
    I was all looking forward to having Megs undress him
    well he’ll have the look XD
    but they just won’t transform
    it’s like
    revoltech prime 8)
    he doesn’t transform
    but he’s still sexy =3=
    So they do wear clothes… they just don’t transform?
    right

    the CBI’s badge
    is pretty much the decepticon badge
    over the course of the fic’s timeline
    more agents in the CBI are revealed to be crooked-cops
    and it’s a significant factor that helps convince kup to leave the force
    he knows the establishment was meant to help, but over time, it’s been occupied by corrupt mechs
    and it’s tough weeding out the bad apples
    by the end of the story, the force will pretty much be rotten to the core
    and optimus will quit
    and he’ll convince other good mechs in the force to quit as well
    and they’ll talk of setting up their own organization that opposes the CBI
    and they’ll give a name to the CBI for being deceiving asshats

    i’m thinkin g1 megatron’s cannon is so big because it’s nuclear fusion
    so since noir megatron’s mini cannon is small enough to fold inside his arm
    i’m thinkin it needs to be turned down a notch from nuclear fusion

    Megatron’s cannon draws power from his internal energy supply, leaving him drained- he has to cover up his condition whenever he uses it, so he goes to club Trinity and pays Starscream to rough him up, but SS thinks it’s a fetish

    Megatron’s modified arm looks scarred, Optimus thinks it’s from a past case he’s well known for & asks him so, but Megatron says nothing.

    Will you maybe also do something like Prohibition?
    i doubt it
    it’s set in the golden age, after alpha trion lead the cybertronian rebellion and drove the quintessons off the planet
    there’s some drug reference, but it’s not bad enough for it to be a serious problem for the force
    it’s a good time for cybertronians, very few of them feel inclined to experiment with drugs and drink
    the main focus is optimus and megatron trying to find missing CBI agent nightbeat
    sentinel & nova have declared themselves “senators” and are running against each other for the title of Prime, leader of cybertron
    alpha trion was initially asked to be leader, but he turned it down
    there are no autobots or decepticons yet
    they’re free cybertronians, and there are some trouble makers, so that’s why the CBI was established
    cybertron bureau of investigation
    also called the force
    basically the police

    the fic starts out with optimus being promoted as a new agent, so he’s a rookie
    very optimistic and goody-two-shoes
    megatron is the best example of what the CBI is slowly turning into
    corrupt, malevolent
    most cybertronians don’t realize this
    kup has an idea of it, being the chief
    he’s always grumpy because he can’t tell who in the bureau is loyal to the establishment’s principles anymore
    so he can’t weed out the bad apples

    Kup tells Optimus to keep an eye on Megatron- suspects he is working for his own needs.

    optimus gets transferred into the CBI when one of their best agents goes missing
    Kup’s head of the department, but later on will be convinced to take a job as personal advisor/strategist to one of the senators, sentinel prime
    when that happens, magnus gets promoted as head of the CBI
    Optimus is enthusiastic to uphold the law for the safety and well being of all cybertronians
    he wants to help
    he’s a goody-goody
    stickler for following rules
    so when he’s paired up with another of CBI’s top agents, Megatron
    he gets frustrated
    cuz Megatron is loosey-goosey with rule following
    all CBI agents wear masks when on a case
    and in the field
    megatron never wears a mask
    however, megatron always gets the job done
    fast, efficiently
    with very little trouble
    when they meet, megatron doesn’t say much to him
    he doesn’t talk much to anyone, really

    megs is in the CBI purely for selfish reasons
    he doesn’t care if certain crooks live or die, or if justice reigns at the end of the day
    he’s there to climb the ranks so he can earn control over more mechs
    and bend them to his will
    he doesn’t really have a reputation in the fic as the megatron everyone knows
    pre-war, he’s a lacky
    but he’s being subtle in his quest for power
    hee. Sounds like SG Prime. Rising to power through trickery and behind-the-scenes shady business.
    exactly!
    optimus doesn’t have his status as “prime”
    he is agent optimus, or rookie
    little prowl will see optimus & megatron in the field
    but mostly he’ll notice optimus
    and see that optimus is working to help others
    and that inspires prowl to work for the force when he gets older

    and megatron, the protaganist’s own partner, is ultimately the villain in the end
    and the dramatic final showdown of megatron pointing a gun at his own partner
    and optimus of course being “BUT WHY?!”
    such a goody-two-shoes

    the intro
    when megs is all over prime
    i’m thinkin soon before the final events of the fic
    yus~
    so like, the intro opens with that scene, then flashes back
    then recaps the story for the most part
    catches up with the opening scene
    and optimus wakes up after the smex to see megatron tinkering with his exposed cannon
    and he’s just kinda sickened by it
    like it’s gross
    your arm is fucking open, how can you PLAY WITH IT
    I suppose it’d be like the human equivalent of someone having their arm sliced open, and they’re poking at the muscles and tendons in their arm.
    or a foreign object that’s sewn to the tissue inside
    and can be pulled out whenever

    towards the end of the fic
    Nova contracts Megatron to assassinate Sentinel. 
    Sentinel is murdered, Nova is declared Prime.
    Elita finds evidence of Nova’s order, & confronts him
    Nova attempts to kill Elita, but is mortally wounded and flees
    further search by the CBI proves fruitless
    Nova disappears

    so i had the idea for the final part of the fic
    after the night at the hotel, megatron leaves when prime is still sleeping
    and prime wakes up
    he already knows megatron is up to somethin
    he gets teh call from elita that sentinel was found dead, and describes the situation
    when he hears it, he suspects megatron
    so he goes out to find him

    Optimus gives someone(??) a package to use on the deactivated guardian while he confronts Megatron.  It links thte guardiant remotely to Vector Sigma, giving it sentience, creating Omega Supreme.

    so he & megatron have their FINAL SHOWDOWN WOOHOOOOOO
    they’re fighting
    and kup & some hardcore good guys show up to try and help, but it’s beyond their control
    it’s all optimus vs megatron
    and in teh fight, megatron mortally wounds prime
    sooooooooo after megatron runs off and disappears
    ratchet takes optimus to alpha trion
    who has already saved elita & magnus
    altering their physical structures so they’re battle-hardy and with new & improved features!
    the armor is bulky, but modest enough to waver the need for clothing
    when optimus comes to, he’s also in armor without clothing
    but not naked
    elita becomes elita-one
    there’s some romantic dialogue i want to give significance to the ‘one’ part of her name
    and magnus becomes ultra magnus
    sentinel’s dead
    nova’s wanted
    everyone knows the CBI’s run over by crooked slags, and it’s pretty safe to say megatron’s hidden in the crowd among that scum
    they’re way more organized & all that
    so the guys who abandoned CBI, along with other bots who’re friends of optimus or are just willing to stand up and do the right thing
    they band together
    alpha trion advises that optimus become the leader of those cybertrons that would fight for the freedom that all people deserve
    he’s given the matrix of leadership, and optimus becomes prime
    and the autobots are born
    later, the scum will choose decepticons as their name
    but they keep their insignia of the CBI badge symbol

    Maybe Op keeps a journal and we could do first person narrative posts through that, but… trying not to completely turn Noir Op into Rorschach. lol
    a detective log
    or
    reports for the CBI

    i just remembered
    when i was originally rolling the whole concept in my head
    and trying to come up with ideas
    AND because the big-o music was big inspiration for it
    i thought of omega supreme >8)))))))))
    and that maybe megatron’s ultimate goal is to gain enough power & lackeys to either take control of or destroy the guardians
    the dark guardians are deactivated

    characters

    Optimus - the rookie.  Transferred from Iacon Surveillance Security.  Believes rules should always be adhered to.  Wants to help others, enthusiastic about new position on the force.  Always tries to see good in others.

    Megatron - efficient agent of the force, though not careful to follow rules.  A lone-wolf type, doesn’t speak much.  His idea of questioning includes intimidation, and his idea of interrogation always includes a gun barrel in the face.  His sources are just as shady as his suspects.  Never wears his standard issue CBI mask.  Always has a pack of cy-garettes on his person.  Chooses cunning & subtle manipulation to get his way with the authorities, but has no problem with using force if he’s left with no other choice.  Has a small retractable cannon hidden in his right arm.

    Nightbeat - top CBI agent, missing in action.  Fancies himself a private investigator & hires himself out to clients, even though he’s on the force’s payroll.  Excellent detective work on the toughest cases stayed the hand of authorities, though, but his outside work has led to his current missing status.

    Sentinel & Nova - top senators in the race for world leadership & the status of Prime 

    Alpha Trion - future personal advisor to the chosen leader of Cybertron, turned down the position of world leader to the confusion of all Cybertronians after the successful rebellion against the quintessons

    Elita - spy for the CBI, enters the race for Prime using the guise of representative for femmes & the low-tech to keep an eye on Nova, who the CBI suspects is playing dirty. 

    Starscream & the seekers - entertainers at Club Trinity.  A lot of bots conduct questionable business at the club, so Starscream knows things that many wouldn’t know about, and sells this information at a high price.

    Shockwave - CBI agent, strategist and scientist.  He’s the first to attempt grafting weaponry onto a cybertronian’s body, though the idea came from Megatron.

    Kup - chief of the CBI.

    Magnus - high-ranking CBI agent, later promoted to head of bureau

    Ironhide - dock worker, best friend to Optimus

    Soundwave - undercover agent of the force, well known for the efficiency of his work thanks to telepathic abilities.

    Swindle - drug/illegal arms dealer, also a professional snitch and information broker.

    Stunticons - notorious street gang who cut deals with dirty cops to avoid jail time, they serve as a distraction to draw the CBI’s attention away from other criminals

    Bumblebee - private investigator

    Jazz - front man in a jazz band that plays in a popular club

    Blaster - also a musician in the 3-bot jazz band

    Beachcomber - the jazz band’s drummer and drug addict, though performances have gone smoothly so far

    Ratchet - CBI coroner

    Wheeljack & Perceptor - forensics scientists

    Red Alert - Iacon Surveillance Exec.

    Prowl - CBI strategist in training

    Tracks & Bluestreak - merchants

  • The room is sparse and cheaply decorated, but that’s to be expected.  Seedy little hotels like this aren’t supposed to be comfortable.  You get what you pay for.  Bare essentials.  Four walls and a berth.  Most of the patrons don’t even stay a full night, anyway.  My partner’s footsteps are close behind me as he follows me in.  The door clicks softly closed behind him, chain-latch rattling against the frame as he slides it into place.  We both know why we’re here, what comes next, but even so it’s a moment before I can bring myself to turn and face him…
