SOMETHING'S UP
I have yet to come up with a name, but if you have any ideas message me at @d3athbrawls_sanity on Discord! Yes, this story incorporates my OC, with a major role of sorts.
This parasite infects by contact of the infected energon with internals, or open wounds. For example, a bit of infected energon comes in contact with your optics.
Infected may vary in symptoms, but some things in common are disfigurement, armor cracking/loss, bleeding black energon from said cracks/orifices, loss of control, . Some other symptoms may be blindness, deafness, lost of feeling, growing new limbs, losing limbs, etcetera. Infected are partially conscious, and still feel immense pain on an almost constant from the cracks, deformation, etcetera.
The parasite originated from Shockwave. It was meant to be a controlled infection to eliminate the Autobots. It was meant to be hard to detect, but strong, and fast, yet somehow due to a blunder, it was mutated into a parasite. The first victim, Deathbrawl, was captured by Shockwave and later retrieved. Nobody found anything wrong.
