Mudskip

PRE WAR

Mudskip never experienced life before the war as he was constructed in the middle of said civil war.

WAR

He was constructed purely for more soldiers for the air force. He was fortunate not to online just before a major battle, like many constructed mecha often were. Instead he did get properly taught about the war and the state of their home planet, which his kind had long ago left. The fighting was something Mudskip never liked, nor was he particularly talented flyer.

At a later point in the war, at one battle he got severely hit, thus he crashed. Autobots did not have the time to go through the pile of dead mecha for any potentionally alive ones -- so unfortunately he was left to slowly bleed out as the battle retreated elsewhere. But he was not all alone. He was found by a Decepticon who claimed to be a medic, Wingbolt. Strangely enough, Mudskip was patched up but still not cleared for flight -- so logically he stuck around his saviour. Both of them being unable to leave the alien planet, they struck a deal not to harm each other until they were off the planet. Mudskip's second saviour ended up being Para, a neutral medic, who had their own shuttle. Mudskip and Wingbolt negotiated themselves on the shuttle and promised to get off of her plating once they find their people. Somehow Mudskip ended up sticking around and the crew of three grew into a crew of six by the end of the war.

POST WAR

The end of the war came as a surprise. As soon as the news reached his crew he was begging to head home, where he'd never really been before. Once they arrived, Mudskip found it disappointing but wasn't much surprised -- a war does that to planets. He was still eager to reconnect with his people, culture and home.
