Shattered Glass Plot:

Within this version of the shattered glass universe, Optimus Prime, ruthless leader of the autobots, has long since won. Megatron, the last of the decepticons, lies in a prison overseen by prime's ruthless enforcer Prowl. The Prison exists near the edge of the known universe, kept far away from any "Civilized" planets that could be "Poisoned" by Megatron's words of rebellion. He stands isolated, alone, remorseful in a small cell, surrounded by cells containing the remnants of his friends and allies. His only friends the remnants of the cassettecons, who had managed to survive by hiding in the vents and forgotten areas like rats. Ravage, a lion-shaped con that was courageous and currently can't move that well due to damage taken from escaping prowl's eyes, Medibot, a medical doctor-like cassetecon that's been keeping all of the other CC's at least healthy and mysteriously seems similar to a former autobot from the past. Rumble with parts from frenzy, Frenzy died escaping from prowl and his last words to rumble were to give him permission to use his parts to repair Rumble, and Drillbit, a rat-shaped con that was made by soundwave near the end of the war.

What happens next is that the prison is suddenly shot into by some strange meteor-like thing. Prowl goes to investigate and finds the body of a strange humanoid creature, with a device attached to it's waist that hums with unknown power. Now, the prowl of this universe also knew a thing or two about science and thought he could use this technology to get into the good graces of prime, so he worked hard for the next few months, giving megatron a break from the constant physical and mental torture. He finally manages to come up with a sort of...hacked together system made from the bodies of the other decepticons there as well as various pieces of tech laying around that taps into the energies of the strange device and the gear attatched to it. He finds that this device increases the speed and efficiency of the prison's thrusters and fuel sources by an insane amount but before he can use this effectively and report it to Prime...the device suddenly activates and the entire prison phases out of reality.

It flies through various places and universes before eventually crashing down and landing in providence, wherein plot things begin to happen.

General Plot Thread:
-Prison Satellite crashes down in Providence, probably around the grasslands
-Lucas gets kidnapped because Prowl finds out that his energy appears to be compatible with the energies of the device, so he figures he could use lucas as a living control device for it.
-Group of people, hopefully including soundwave, go to investigate
-Find crashed ship that has bits of dead cybertronian bodies surrounding it, enter through a hole in the hull
-They find the first of the Casettecons Drillbit, who after finding out they're here to investigate explains that the prison is seperated into four sections, Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 each one corresponding to a level of security, with the 5th being the captain's quarters and the area where they keep megatron in max-level security.
-They fight their way through security while getting taunted by prowl over the intercom
-Can possibly salvage weapons or gear by breaking into cells.
-Fight a boss/Security guard at the end of each level
-Also find a new Casettecon each level, except the last where they find SG Megatron and Lucas
-bosses will probably mostly be mooks and other guys. Stuff like Sharkticons, generic Mooks, and other such baddies. Possible chance to recruit/befriend
-Final Battle with Prowl
-Maybe use a battle system that relies on combat power, with combat power starting at one per player/ally and being raised through salvaged equipment and gathered allies
-Have HP be twice the number of combat power.
-Each player takes a turn attacking with their base combat power of one combined with the combat power of any equipment they salvage.
-need to work that out beforehand
-Overall Goal is to rescue Lucas, salvage anything usable for soundwave maybe, and shut the driver down.
