Category:Resistance (Transformers)

Originally led by Optimus Primal & followed by Lio Convoy, the Resistance spearheads the Grand Uprising against the decrepit Builders in the Beast Wars: Uprising continuity. A cross-factional conglomeration of Maximals and Predacons, this rebel alliance seeks to topple the stagnant empire of the Builders once and for all, ending their tyranny and allowing the next generation of Cybertronians to rebuild their shattered planet.

This sounds like a noble goal, and perhaps it is, but the realities of fighting a guerrilla war on three fronts - against the Micromasters, the Predacon Secret Police, and the Maximal Command Security Force - means that the Resistance fights just as dirty as the order it seeks to overthrow. Members have been known to utilize weapons of mass destruction and deliberately sacrifice the lives of innocents if it means advancing their own goals. That said, their myriad enemies aren't much better.
