The Greatest Defeat

Ultra Magnus has to date been a leader who's prowess was only second to that on Optimus Prime. In all his years he had never seen such a magnificent opportunity to en this accursed war once and for all. He had sent his spies out to try and determine the reason behind some recent Decepticon activity. This action gave him more information than he could have ever asked for. His spies found out that the Decepticons had found a new way to transport supplies between their main base and their front line. They had created a warp gate that gave them the ability of free travel between any two portals. Ultra Magnus new he could exploit this new information to his advantage. He figured if he took a big enough army with him he could lead a strike right into the heart of the Decepticon base. So after weeks of planning he had come together with enough men and a plan that took almost everything into account that could possibly happen. So he led his army to the portal, sending in a few tactical fighters to take out the guards around the portal. After taking control of the portal he started preparing his men to go and defeat the Decepticons. They entered the portal and found themselves in the very center of Decepticon base surrounded by thousands of enemy soldiers. It was a long hard fought battle by both sides. Half way through the battle things started going downhill for the Autobots. They were taking heavy losses and the Decepticons just seemed endless as they continuously swarmed the Autobots. Ultra Magnus needed a miracle if he wanted to get himself and the rest of his men out alive. Then a miracle happened as Metroplex the largest Autobot came though the portal and started taking down Decepticons left and right. Ultra Magnus called his men to retreat back through the portal then destroy it completely. After every last man was through Metroplex and Ultra Magnus went through the portal and destroyed so that it could never be used again. This day was the greatest defeat Ultra Magnus had ever witnesses in his time as a leader of the Autobots. He felt he had failed his men and his cause. He left the Autobots and went into self induced solitary. He wasn't heard from again until he returned one day many years later. He came back to great joy and cheers of his old comrades. He had gone into seclusion to meditate and learn from his mistake. HE had turned himself into the best leader there ever was or ever would be. This is the story of Ultra Magnus.

The Story of Ultra Magnus!

Ultra Magnus  was a great warrior and leader on Cybertron. He had fought against the Decepticons for centuries in Earth years. He lead many battles and developed thousands of strategies that the Autobots could use to defeat their most hated enemy. He has fought many battles to finally bring peace to his planet. He didn't use to be a hardened soldier though, he was once the greatest scientist and philosopher on the planet, he was a man of peace with a family. He was friends with a few Decepticons and was even trying to negotiate peace talks when the civil war of Cybertron was in it's fist few months, but that all changed when a Decepticon he thought of as a close friend turned and murdered his entire family. After seeing his seen of death, all love in his heart for his former friend evaporated to be replaced by hate and fury. After fighting and destroying the traitorous bot that he had thought of as his brother, he turned his hate inward for daring to trust these foul Decepticons. He then turned his talents and genius to the Autobots for a chance to bring down these monsters that dared called themselves Transformers to their knees and beg for forgiveness. He wanted every bot that dared call themselves Decepticons to pay for what had happend to his family. After years of hate having consumed his very core he was cornered by a fellow Autobot Optimus Prime Who told him that no matter how much fighting he did it wouldn't bring his family back from the dead. Ultra Magnus heard the words of the great leader and he realized that he was right so Ultra Magnus that he didn't need to forgive the Decepticons but he needed to remind himself that his family was dead and that could never be changed no matter how much he wanted it. He then decided that he would lead that Autobots to victory bu not with hate in his heart for hate dulls your other emotions and clouds your mind so that leading others becomes impossible. He knew that he must let go of his hate to lead with a clear mind and heart. This has led Ultra Magnus to  one of that greatest leaders in the history of the Autobots.

My New Found Friend!

I finally got to have a conversation with Ultra Magnus today he was as amazed as I was that he came to life. I asked Ultra Magnus, "Why did you come to life?" He told me that he had no idea that i was paying attention to what he was doing. He said that everything has some sort of life, but that most humans don't notice when they move or end up somewhere other than where we left them. that's why things go missing and are found in the oddest places. What he told me enlightened me to those little things that we so barely notice. I asked him if those little flashes of movement in the corner of our eye, those sounds we hear when everything is quite and no one is home, the tales of ghosts are just objects like him moving around. Yes said sometimes they where and other times they where just our imagination playing tricks on us. That made so much sense to me that i slapped myself in the head. I can't believe i never noticed something o completely obvious before. I talked with Ultra Magnus about a ton of other things too, it was fun to see things form his perspective. We laughed for hours on end before he inevitably turned back into a transformer action figure once more.

He has Spoken.

This transformer, who's home of late has been my desk, recently came to life before my eyes once again. I stood in stark silence, awaiting something to happen, for him or I to break this seemingly unending silence. yet for the longest time neither of us appeared capable of coherent thought. Until finally I mustered up the will to speak, and I simply said "Hi," I said in a meek whisper. I waited what seemed like a century for him to reply and he did. "Hello" said the little figure standing upon my desk in such a feeble whisper that i almost thought i had imagined his reply. "Whats your name I asked" to being able to think of anything better to say. "My name is Ultra Magnus. Whats yours?" he said with a little more confidence that before. "My name is Adam," I said with my brain finally working again. I thought to myself I'm having a conversation with a transformer action figure this is amazing, but before i could say anything else he turned back into a lifeless action figure made of plastic. Well I always have tomorrow to speak to him.

Transformer on a Roll

This trinket I am blogging about did the most amazing thing when I went to sit down to write my blog today. It came alive and started driving around my desk. Then all of a sudden it transformed into a six inch tall robot. This was the most amazing thing that I've ever seen to date. I tried talking to it but it appeared to become terribly scared and transformed back into a truck. It then proceeded to drive behind my computer monitor. I looked behind the monitor and saw the transformer cowering looking around the other side of the monitor. I then picked it up and tried to sooth it into a calm state of being. When I finally believed I had calmed him down he became an inanimate toy once again. I wonder if tomorrow I'll get to talk to him. 

Transformer

This Transformer standing six inches tall, an autobot by the three markings it bares. It's colors are red, blue, and black. It turns into a truck in seconds. In truck form I can drive it around my desk and have it do tricks. This toy can do what ever I think I want it to, whatever I can imagine becomes it's reality. My wish becomes it's command. This transformer shapes itself to me, but does so with a feeling of use, of need, of want. I wants to be used.
