The Transformers, Issue 67: Earth, Chapter Ten

BATTLE OF EARTH, PART 1
   (In Axiom Nexus, the TransTechs get over the mind control spell Shockwave had put on them. They try to contact Lightyear to no avail)

    (On Earth, Optimus Minor has Gnaw at his mercy)

    Optimus Minor: Stand down. Now.

    Gnaw: Not until I get what I came for. 

    (He socks Optimus Minor before nabbing Optimus Prime's corpse. He and the Sharkticons then teleport away and deliver Prime's body to the Quintessons, who then begin to merge the body with Megatron's, creating GUILTAUR!)

    (Elsewhere, in the WALL-E Universe...)

    Shockwave: Computer, activate the schematics for my new project. (screen shows what will be Shockwave's new body) Excellent. Begin construction. It's not over yet, Autobots. It's definitely not. [Wait, who are you talking to? The fat captain?]

    (Back on Earth, the Fallen fires at Evac and Crosswise, only for them to retreat. Cyclonus tries to take pursuit, but is stopped by the Fallen)

    The Fallen: Forget them. We have other matters.

    (Back with the Autobots)

    Optimus Minor: This can't be happening....

    Turborun: Well, we can't stay here forever, boss-bot! We need to find the key and-- [Heaven forbid we continue the quest we set out for in the first place. Heck, I forgot the keys were even still a thing!]

    (At that moment, Evac and Crosswise show up)

    Evac: Wait! We come in peace! Omega Prime informed us of your quest. We're here to help you... and to warn you. There are Decepticons here... and they're headed this way! 

    (Back with Starscream and Noisemaze)

    Starscream: What... is this? 

    Noisemaze: What do you think they are?

    Starscream: ...Zombies?

    Noisemaze: Bingo.

    Starscream: How will they help?

    Noisemaze: With this. (Pulling out a Dark Energon shard, he tosses it into the lava) Arise... Terrorcons!

    (On Cybertron, the Autobots are dealing with Straxus' upstart Decepticons in Vos)

    Powerflash: (on comm) Rumbler! What's your status?

    Rumbler: I've taken down seventy 'Cons so far! [That's... rather impressive. Impossibly so, for one obscure Autobot from a year when people had stopped caring about Transformers] Sprocket?

    Sprocket: Pft. Ninety.

    Rumbler: No fair, bro!

    Powerflash: Quiet, you two! Here comes more!

    Straxus: LEAVE NONE ALIVE!

    (In Perihex)

    Roadfire: (on comm) Delta Seeker, ya' got a 'Con on your tail!

    Delta Seeker: I see him. (he blows the 'Con up real good)

    Roadfire: Rest-Q, we need you in east Perihex now!

    Rest-Q: (on comm) On my way!

    Crosscut: I thought after Deathsaurus' crew died, these guys would've learned!

    Roadfire: Obviously they didn't. Rest-Q, come quick!

    Rest-Q: Hold your turbofoxes! What's the problem?

    Roadfire: We've got two bots injured here!

    Decepticon Generic: Both are about to die! Attack!

    (In Iacon)

    Omega Prime: Thunderclash, Halo, status reports!

    Thunderclash: We're cornered by Decepticons!

    Halo: Same here.

    Thunderclash: Wait... they're retreating.

    Bruticus: Autobots! Your destruction... is at hand! Tremble before BRUTICUS! [Geez, these guys seem to be way more successful than Deathsaurus' crew]

    (We end the issue with Autobots on both Earth and Cybertron readying for battle as they face off against Decepticons)
