Darctavious Prime stood apart from all Cybertronian design philosophies.
His frame was tall and broad-shouldered, forged in layered obsidian-black alloy reinforced with shifting gold-amber conduits that pulsed like a second spark beneath his armor. His optics burned a steady, luminous gold not with rage, but with calculation and resolve. Every plate of his body bore subtle Prime sigils, etched so deeply they seemed less engraved and more remembered by the metal itself.
Unlike Autobots or Decepticons, his structure was modular by divine intent adaptable, precise, and eternal.
Alt-Modes
Darctavious Prime possessed dual transformation protocols, a trait unique among the Primes.
Cybertronian Jet Mode
In flight configuration, his mass compressed into a sleek, angular strike-craft. Anti-grav vanes unfolded along his wings, allowing him to fold space itself and cross planetary distances in moments. In this form, he could enter brief temporal slips appearing to vanish and reappear ahead of enemy formations, untouched by incoming fire.
Cybertronian Truck Mode
When grounded, Darctavious transformed into a heavily armored Cybertronian transport part war-engine, part mobile forge. This form allowed him to anchor reality itself, stabilizing collapsing terrain, reinforcing cities, or evacuating entire populations while resisting spatial distortion and temporal shockwaves.
Prime Weapon The Heretic Blaster
Integrated into his right arm was his Prime-forged weapon:
The Heretic Blaster.
A weapon never meant for war alone.
The Blaster fired condensed paradox-energy, a synthesis of time-lock particles and matter-severance waves. Its functions were absolute and terrifying in their precision:
Temporal Freeze Targets struck could be locked outside the flow of time, frozen mid-thought, mid-explosion, or mid-transformation.
Matter Disintegration On higher output, the weapon unraveled matter at the conceptual level, reducing even reinforced Cybertronian alloy into drifting atomic ash.
Darctavious used it sparingly.
Not because he could not destroy but because preservation demanded restraint.
He was not forged to rule. Not forged to conquer.
He was forged to ensure that Cybertron endured.
And soon, the coming war would test whether even a Prime of space, time, and matter could defy destiny itself
