We need some fodder and 'generals' in the Brotherhood of Shadows. Now you all may be wondering just what kind of army I reffered to in Black Zaraks bio. Well here I am about to explain.
The Brotherhood of Shadows in a fundamentalist Decepticon movement started by the exiled Predicon scientist Zarak after his upgrade to Black Zarak. He has always despised organic life in general, and sees the current 'downgrades' to quasi-organic and technorganic forms as an Abominations in the face of their ancestors and to Primus.... feelings wich have increased with his current state of madness. As you can guess he sees what happened to Cybertron after the 'Battle for the spark' as compltete blasphemy. He has assembled like-minded individuals, comitted to toppling the current power-structure and to change cybertron back the way it was.
How they intend to accomplish this mission is to incite another great war between the Maximals/Autobots and Predicons/Decepticons. After the factions have suceeded in killing each other and laying waste to most of the populace, the Shadows will rise and finish them off, leaving Cybertron theirs, at wich time they can return it to its former mechanical glory.
The Brotherhood is composed of Dissedants from both armies... giving them added Annonymityy. Zarak uses this to his advantage by placing spies and sleeper agents in each faction. Its their duty to retreive intel and sew discord amongst their respective forces.
One feature wich is unique to the brotherhood is the 'Zeta Crystal System'. Basically my explination for the 'spark crystals' in energon... this system allows its user to draw large quantities of energy from an outside source and focus it to increase their own power. The crystals aren't handed out to the rank and file... generally only high ranking Brotherhood officials are equipped. While often these are displayed openly on their bodies, they can be hidden within their frames.
It took Zarak years to creat this technology, and cost thousands of test subjects their sparks and sanity, and even now using them isn't as easy as say going 'supersaiyan'.
Being installed with one has its drawbacks, as 'charging up' can be incredibly taxing upon the users frame. These these side effects differ according to their chosen power source.... Sunstorms nuclear energy causes deterioration of his frame, while Black Zaraks link to a black hole degrades his sanity. The crystals need to be carefully maintained, as using one wich is malfunctioning or damaged could at the least fry a mech from the inside out. Generally, the Zeta Crystals are only used in extreme circumstances.
I might post more on it... but for now this is all I gots to say.
