DARK ENERGON EVENT

For about several months now, Soundwave has been gathering information and parts to build a space bridge. With the help of several other mechs (Shockwave, Deadlock, Soundwave, Knock out, Breakdown), he's finally succeeded in completing it. In Prime canon, malfunctions can cause space bridges-- and ground bridges --to create time/space dimensional rips. Soundwave abused this apparent malfunction to create a dimensional portal, using his own as the test subject.

And that's where it goes all horribly wrong.

As of the 21st (aka Monday), he activates the space bridge and finds while successful in creating a dimensional portal, it was nowhere near the time span or location he wanted. In such, he pinpoints a time in which his Cybertron had been recently infected with Dark Energon and unleashes the walking dead on Sacrosact.

TL;DR: GIANT ROBOT ZOMBIES. With handy visual reference!


TERRORCONS
The Terrorcons-- robot zombies --are the result of Cybertronian corpses becoming infected with a substance called Dark Energon. Like any good undead horde, they pretty much hate anything living. Also like any good undead horde, they're hard to kill without slicing them to pieces and their fluids are the same infectious fluid that animates them.

DARK ENERGON
So what is Dark Energon? While Energon is the fuel that gives Cybertronians life, Dark Energon is the opposite of that. It's pretty much the blood of an evil robot deity, Unicron. Obviously this means that it has some really nasty powers and all that fun jazz. It can be neutralized with regular energon, but here's a bit of a breakdown and what it can do:

• Humans - It makes humans very sick. Like dying sick. Contact with Dark Energon is a slow and painful death because it's literally poisonous. Fortunately, it's not incurable . An infusion of Energon pretty much perks them up since it couneracts the effects.
• Cybertronians - If you're dead, well it can reanimate your corpse as a shambling zombie. If you're not, those of weak constitution might feel dizzy and sick. Others tend to get a drug-like power boost. Stronger, faster, heals quicker. Also tends to make you bugfuck nuts.
• Non-sentient electronics - A drop of this stuff can animate your toaster into a tiny evil death bringer robot.

More in depth info on Dark energon can be found at the wiki page here.


My character isn't any of those! What can they do?
You're in luck! Dark Energon is pretty much a macguffin. Maybe it makes trolls high or Asgardians insane. Maybe it doesn't affect them at all! Really, it's up to you.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. Taking advantage of his screw up, Soundwave just kinda rolls with the hit and decides to wing it. A giant mechanical undead army can work in his favor and all, so the mech is gonna attempt to use them for conquest in Megatron's name. Won't he be pleased! Don't get him wrong, he's less interested in conquering the residents as he is with conquering Sacrosanct, killing Hypatia, and seizing the planet below. If he has to kill anyone, well, acceptable losses and all.

The event is going to last a week, so that's the 21st-27th. Zones that will be affected are Garden Zone 03, Residential Zone 02, and Residential Zone 03. It can spread to other zones depending, but that'll be where the zombies are.

I went looking for Robot Devil Futurama clips on YouTube, but there aren't any good ones. :<

I badly want him in Sing, ngl.

He can do nefarious plans like taking people's hands.

You may have to make a metaphorical deal with the Devil.

By Devil I mean Robot Devil

and by metaphorical I mean get your coat.
