So I've used Internet Archive more times than I care to admit for both my past sites (TLO) and for this site (Under it's former URL), but for the life of me I can't think of why I never tried it on the original Birth place of the RENEGADES. We're talking the original Transformers board where Jazz (latryx7) and HeavyAssault and I met and formed the Renegades!

*Sadly there's no snapshot just after the big fall-out with the original admin, and not screeny of the original thread where the RENEGADES were formed. Good to see those original threads though that got wiped by the former admin - "For the love of God!!! Autobots attack!!! " and "By The Matrix, DECEPTICONS ATTACKING!!!".
So the real story of how the RENEGADES started in real life, in case you didn't know. Sitting comfortably? Good, then we'll begin.
Back in the day Jazz, heavy and myself all joined this board, I think I was the last, Jazz & Heavy already being there. As you can see it was an ordinary TF board, but then one day the "then" admin - Optimus Prime wanted to move us to a different message board. Different provider? Oh no, still with ProBoards, he was moving us because basically he didn't know how to change the look of the board. Everything would have been fine until one day the "then" admin deleted all the content. All the boards - all the threads, all the banter built up over time between the members, all of it - gone. Deleted forever. ready for the move. I'd say just about every member was pissed at the admin for doing this and then refused to move. As in the past there had been threads like the aforementioned "For the love of God!!! Autobots attack!!! " and "By The Matrix, DECEPTICONS ATTACKING!!!", we as members rebelled against the admin, Optimus Prime. Due to his name sake it was in the Rebellion thread that heavy said something to the words of "Renegades Unite!" or "Renegade Autobots Unite" or something like that, I can't really remember now as we were "rebelling" irl against the Autobot leader - our admin. He left, not many followed him and those that did din;t stay with him, instead stayed at the old board. Member Blot/Sunstreaker took over the board and decided to re-vamp the derelict message board into a Transformers RP message board. If any of these details are wrong or incorrect I'm sure Jazz can correct me.
As it was heavy who came up with the term "Renegades" the idea was then put forward to create a third fictional faction on this re-formatted Transformers RP board. "Renegade Autobots", in mirror to the real-life happenings on the board recently. I was the next to join this adventure, followed by Jazz. Over time what became an utter from heavy turned into a rel-life living, breathing idea, a third fictional Transformers faction. We kept to our selves, recruited not giving either the Autobot Or Decepticons any info as to what we were up to. being sneaky, scheming planning, working together. Something the Autobot faction couldn't do without arguing who would be leader, and the Decepticon team - well, just arguing among themselves. We stuck together, secretly planned and carried out our plans and attacks, on both sides, if the Autobots got in the way and successfully succeeded where the other rp factions - didn't.
So that is the real-life formation of the RENEGADES, obviously it became more than just a fan rp faction to us as we started building small hosted websites around it, fan-fiction and started to create an in-game "Back-story" for our faction.
So there you have it, in case any one didn't know.
