Weyland-Yutani

Weyland-Yutani, nicknamed "Wey-Yu", is a megacorporate empire that specialises in manufacturing weaponry and selling it to worldwide governments. Secretly, they dispense caches of guns, rockets, and other advanced technologies to regimes, terrorist organisations, and even intergalactic military juntas. Their prosperous business practice stems from the cutthroat mercilessness of their leader, Peter Weyland, whom inherited the corporation from his father.

Wey-Yu's origins are traced towards the Weyland Corporation's acquisition of Yutani Corp during what many perceive as foul play. However, Weyland's manipulation into Yutani's bankruptcy has never been proven, as all court cases faded into obscurity and menial rabble.

In recent times, Wey-Yu's focus has seen a dramatic shift from just weapons manufacturing to building housing for constituents, establishing road systems on outlying colony frontier worlds, but most importantly, illegal experimentation on Xenomorphs and Yautja. Their final front in particular would garner the corporation trillions of galactic credits and untold amounts of U.S Currency, so much so they had to begin refusing US Dollars to ensure the economy did not inflate.

Nevertheless, Peter and his corporation's reign was not eternal. Weyland-Yutani's private military service wing, by now owning a considerable and fearsome fleet of cruisers and dreadnaughts detected a mech called "Thundercracker" for a demented plan to construct a legion of drones modelled after him. In truth, Thundecracker was aligned with the Decepticons. After the Decepticon Seekers Starscream and Skywarp rescued their comrade from a Wey-Yu space station, the corporate empire began declining in power.

This decline is entirely attributed to the several Megatrons leading the Decepticon Coalition putting aside their petty squabbles and focusing on destroying and sacking Wey-Yu for their insolence. A brief war over a period of weeks was fought on select locations across Earth, in which Wey-Yu's valiant PMC legions were ultimately crushed, losing every single battle and capitulating.

After a final scuffle in Cuba, in which two splinter Decepticons, Overlord and Blitzwing, managed to eviscerate the Wey-Yu's last major forward research facility, the corporation went bankrupt, its fortunes not covering the immense fiscal damages initiated by the relentless Cybertronians. Thus, legally, Wey-Yu is extinct. However, fanatical loyalists to Peter Weyland remain dedicated to his cause and serve him from a secret bunker HQ in Los Angeles.
