Autobot

Heroic TransFormer, a member of the original good faction in TransFormers Generation 1 and several subsequent series. (Known as Seibertons or Cybertrons in Japan, and renamed as Maximals for Beast Wars).

Most Autobots transform into cars and land-based vehicles. Diverse in personality, they are usually given "human" traits in their various depictions (fallible, open to error, with personality differences, etc.). Their political economy is based on generosity and on protecting others, especially the weak. As an army, they seem to have been set up solely to fight the Decepticons, who pre-existed them as a fighting force.

The Autobot insignia is a red head, which looks quite like the head of the Autobot Jazz. In the cartoons, Autobots always fire red laser bolts, distinguishable from the Decepticons' purple bolts.

The Autobots nearly always win, usually because of the Decepticons' arrogance and stupidity, despite their usual inferior starting position (itself pretty strange since Autobot toys and named characters have always outnumbered their Decepticon counterparts). This gives a "moral" dimension to TransFormers stories.

Initially led by Optimus Prime, a strong-willed and steadfast yet also self-questioning and insecure Autobot who transformed into a lorry cab. Later led by a number of characters including Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Fortress Maximus.

Eventually won the war on Earth (where both sides had crashed), apparently due to their cooperation with humans. Were attempting to re-take Cybertron (long a Decepticon preserve) when Unicron struck in Transformers: The Movie. Later took over and rejuvenated Cybertron in series 3 (and after, in Japan) of the cartoon, although in the comics, the war on Cybertron continues indefinitely. (One obscure comic strip in an annual depicts the Autobots eventually winning the war, only to start fighting one another over who was to rule the spoils... hardly in character for the Autobots, probably written by a Hobbesian).

"I will rip open Ultra Magnus, and every last Autobot, until the Matrix is destroyed!" (Galvatron, in Transformers: The Movie)

aurumvorax

Vicious six-legged weasel-like creature with fur made of actual gold. Beware! It's a high-level monster and is a lot more vicious than it looks, although it's a great find for AD&D players more interested in treasure hoarding than adventuring.

"aurum" sounds like a Latin word root and is adapted from the Latin word for gold. "vorax" is probably just invented (though again it has a definite Latin sound).

Watch out! There's an aurumvorax hiding under your sofa!

I let the aurumvorax loose in the classroom, and everyone ran away (hee hee)

Barrakeesh

Large city on the southern coast of the inlet in the east of northern Magnamund, to the north of the Dry Main and west of the main isthmus on which the bulk of Vassagonia is located. Barrakeesh is the capital of Vassagonia and the seat of the Vassagonian ruler, the zakhan. A large and bustling city, it also has an advanced drainage system using large sewers, a large market-place and a nascent military-industrial complex.

It is part of the world of the Lone Wolf gamebooks, and figures prominently in Lone Wolf 5 Shadow on the Sand.

Lone Wolf has to find his way through locations such as the sewers of Barrakeesh and the Imperial Palace, before escaping from the city.

Location : Central America (between Costarica and Guatemala)
Capital : Managua
Population : Not sure.

I lived in Nicaragua for an year, there are not so many place for tourists, however Monteli Mar, the biggest resort in west coast, is the best place where I've been.
People are very kind and very honest.
Not so dangerous walking on the street during the time in midnight.
Volcano and lakes are beutiful.

You should stop by Nicaragua when you trip to central america.

the Walrus

This is an agressive sexual technique in which, after ejaculating in a girl's mouth, one karate chops her in the throat so that the ejaculatory fluids seep from the nose in a white stream, simulating the tusks of a walrus. The cough/gag-like sound that she will make also closely resembles the bark of the walrus.

Our relationship ended when I gave her "the Walrus".
