The Cybertronian Vanguard
A Guide to the Official Neutral Faction
“To all Cybertronians upon this world, I send you this message: I am Dreadwing, formerly of the Decepticon Cause. I act now upon my own, with my own agency and freedom denied to me by my former leader. I reach out now to you, those who are dissatisfied with their factions, and their leaders, and their lives. Will you allow this War to drag on, until every last Cybertronian has been ground to dust? Will you relegate yourself to perpetuation of the old ways, of castes and functional determinism, of accepting your purpose and the purpose of others as dictated by those in power? Or will you stand forth with me against the very thing many of us always opposed? Join me, and we will be the Vanguard of Cybertron. We will be the future, the ones who will move forward from the senseless violence and war.”
“Encrypted within this transmission is my private comm link. If you wish to speak to me, I will be here.”

The leader of the Cybertronian Vanguard is @dreadwing
Premise:
The Cybertronian Vanguard was born out of hope and desperation: it was hoped that it could offer another way to exist as a Cybertronian in a universe where one is expected to dedicate their existence to one side or the other. Thus, it is is ultimately a consequence of the extreme polarization that is the Autobot and Decepticon dichotomy. @dreadwing , seeing the futility of the War and of their dwindling population numbers, formed The Vanguard it to forge a new future in which Cybertronians could move forward, opposing the corrupt power structures of the past and present as they worked to restore Cybertron.
Within The Vanguard, the traits of honesty, loyalty, and integrity are paramount - very much due to @dreadwing's new desire to seek retribution for his actions as a Decepticon during the War. The Vanguard can offer similar retribution to others who seek it, or a new perspective for those who have not yet been baptized by the fight.
The Vanguard is based out of the Harbinger, which has slowly been fortified to fit its new inhabitants needs. New recruits are always welcome. It is colloquially known by the other factions as 'The Vanguard'.
