The Transformers, Issue 30: Wrath of the Phantom, Chapter Three

Happy Thanksgiving. Gobble gobble.
REVENGE OF THE DECEPTICONS, PART 2
   (The Autobots are fighting a four-way battle, the sides being the Autobots, Galvatron's Decepticons, Shockwave's Decepticons, and the Phantom's Heralds (though those guys are just... there). Breakaway commands an Autobot aerial force. Or something.)

   Breakaway: Tomahawk, back me up!

   (As they fly off, a Decepticon flier chases them)

   Jetblade: Hey, Tomahawk! Long time no see!

   Breakaway: Jetblade!

   Tomahawk: He's mine!

   Jetblade: Yeah, come at me, slowpoke!

   Tomahawk: What do you call me?!

   (They duke it out; ho-hum. Meanwhile, at Autobot City)

   Bumblebee: Rodimus, Magnus needs our help! We can't just sit here!

   Rodimus Prime: I know, Bumblebee. But we can't just leave Earth unprotected!

   Bumblebee: I don't think the 'cons want Earth anymore! They're all attacking Cybertron!

   Rodimus Prime: *sigh* Alright, get packed up. We're leaving.

   (Back on Cybertron-)

   Sentinel Maximus: Magnus, this is Sentinel Maximus. I'm en-route to your position.

   Ultra Magnus: Good, but could you hurry up? We're having trouble!

   (At that moment, Sentinel Maximus shoots down a Decepticons Magnus was having trouble with)

   Sentinel Maximus: Fast enough for you?

   Ultra Magnus: Uh, thanks....

   (On the Axiom, Galvatron and Shockwave are fighting)

   Galvatron: Fall! Fall!

   (Shockwave casually shoots him down)

   Shockwave: It's hopeless, Galvatron. My power is far superior than yours. 

   Galvatron: Is that so? I beg to differ. I have the powers of Unicron at my disposal!

   Shockwave: I doubt that would be any use.

   Galvatron: Watch me.

   (He unleashes his powers and agonizes Shockwave. Meanwhile, on the Axiom's bridge)

   Leadfoot: Pyro, what are we gonna do?

   Pyro: I think I've got a-

   (Suddenly, an Autobot air team- led by Skyburst- blasts a hole open in the Axiom's wall, freeing Pyro and his team)

   Skyburst: Need some help?

   Jolt: Thanks, Skyburst!

   (While they escape, Shockwave's assistant Fistfight hears a not-so-good-sounding beeping noise)

   Fistfight: Huh? Shockwave, there's a beeping on the ship. And the Autobots are gone. And... so is Lockdown... and Jetblast... oh, slag-

   (Axiom go boom. On Galvatron's ship, the Victory)

   Cyclonus: Lord Galvatron? Galvatron, do you copy?!

   (There's a scene where Galvatron, teleported to a dimension or something, is contracted by Unicron, The Phantom, and some one else, but... it's pointless. So, anyway, on Earth....)

   Rodimus Prime (to a crowd of humans): Attention, citizens of Earth! We are now leaving Earth. Our world needs our help. We have no need to protect you if the Decepticons are no long troubling your world.

   Human Leader: Farewell, Rodimus Prime!

   Rodimus Prime: Farewell.

   (The Earth-bound Autobots then set course for Cybertron. Meanwhile on Cybertron....)

   Unidentified Autobot: You're going down, Decepticons!

   Onslaught: Combaticons, combine!

   (The five Combaticons merge together to form Bruticus)

   Bruticus: Bruticus destroy! (He starts smashing Autobots, until....) Oh, slag...

   Omega Supreme: Bruticus: Enemy. Objective: Defeat Enemy

   (They start fighting it while the Autobots- now joined up by Rodimus' forces- stare in awe)

   Wheeljack: I fixed him up.

   Ironfist: So... is that why we didn't use him earlier?

   Wheeljack: No time. Let's kick some tailpipes!

   (At that moment, the rest of Galvatron's forces- now led by Deathsaurus again- attack. At the same time, the Phantom's Heralds leave the scene.)

   Deathsaurus: Go! Avenge our leader! (He charges towards Rodimus Prime) For Galvatron!

   Rodimus Prime: Ah, so you want a fight, eh? (Brings out... the Star Saber?) Fine by me. (They clash blades)

   (We then get a montage of sorts of the rest of the battle: Soundwave and his minions fight Ironhide and the Wreckers; generics dies; same old, same old. Returning to "Rodimus vs. Deathsaurus", Deathsaurus slashes Rodimus' mouth off)

   Deathsaurus: Farewell, Autobot! (Suddenly, he gets shot down by Sentinel Maximus)

   Sentinel Maximus: Not so fast.

   (Deathsaurus converts into his dragon mode and attacks Maximus, but is shot down again. Pulling a classic Megatron, Deathsaurus says-)

   Deathsaurus: Decepticons, retreat! Leozack, start the Victory's engine turbines! Kick in the hyperdrive! GET US THE HECK OUT OF HERE!

   (So, the 'cons leave. Shockwave and co. vanish. Autobots win. Yay.)

   (Meanwhile, out in the middle of space....)

   ???: From day one, it's been about pain. Agony, torture... pure pain. Of course, now I don't feel pain. Why? Because I am pain. I am the Master of Pain. I am STARSCREAM!
