Contest New Deadline

I'm sorry if this contest seems unorganized. Think of it as a learning experience (and it is because I don't think I've ever run a contest before). Now I know that two weeks is not long enough.

So the new deadline is July 26.

If you don't think you'll have it done by then, you can submit it to the next contest. Those of you who have already submitted your entry can take this time to edit, correct, add-on or whatever (because it's usually after I submit anything to any contest that I notice all these things I want to change, but can't) if you feel you need to.

As always, if you have any comments, suggestions, questions, or complaints, let me know.

I had a strange thought: Cybertron, in many verses, was portrayed as a society torn apart by class distinctions and severely dysfunctional distribution of power. The Decepticons were originally the underclass rising up against a 'decadent' society. Gladiators, low class workers, dock workers, etcetera, etcetera. Back in the 18th century, Americans were the underclass rising up against a 'decadent' society. Colonists, religious separatists,  traders, etcetera, etcetera.Both groups were/are fighting to upset the status quo, not preserve it. Philosophically, the Autobots probably wouldn't have supported the American revolution, and the Decepticons would have. Considering how well America done for itself, even with all our problems, I can see this being an uncomfortable parallel for everyone- humans, Autobots and Decepticons alike. Anyone want to explore this?
