Campaign Chronicles

Crosswind is a character in my campaign . Because Earth-218 has Transformers, it stands to reason that the inauspiciously-named Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Cambombya must also exist. Situated on the northern coast of Africa between Libya and Egypt, Carbombya stands as a caricature of anti-Middle Eastern stereotypes. It is occupied by xenophobic, unstable, religious extremists who stand in opposition to the West. And that's exactly what they want you to think. Carbombya has vast reserves of high-quality oil and natural gas. It combines these resources with a weak military, low population, and Ill-defined borders.

Abdul Fakkadi is the nation's "Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings". In public, he acts erratically and comes across as both pompous and intole...

I have been on a bit of a robot kick lately so I thought I would share another project that I have been bouncing around for the last few weeks. Crosswind is a Decepticon Transformer from the planet Cybertron. He serves as a scout for Megatron's forces and spends much of his time seeking out easily exploitable resources. Unlike many of his Transformer brethren, he lacks the mass shifting ability that allows him to change size as well as shape and is often relegated to a secondary role, something he resents. Since Crosswind is a scout, he could be encountered on any world in search of resources for the Deception war effort. He could even arrive in much the same manner as the invaders from Tales of the Comet, whatever works for you.
