The Transformers, Issue 68: Earth, Chapter Eleven

BATTLE OF EARTH, PART 2
   (On Earth, the Autobots and Decepticons stand face to face)

    Megastorm: So, Optimus... we meet again.

    Optimus Minor: This time, Megastorm, we outnumber you!

    Megastorm: Only in numbers, Optimus. Only in numbers. [uh, yeah, that's what "outnumber" means]

    (At that moment, the Fallen and his gang show up and join the Fight. Yay.)

    (Elsewhere, Nemesis Prime arrives someplace)

    Nemesis Prime: Ugh. Soundwave, I'm in the Anur system. What's the mission's status?

    Soundwave: (on comm) The Fallen is online. [Kind of a strange time to ask that...]

    Nemesis Prime: Excellent. Everything is proceeding as planned.

    (On Cybertron, the Decepticons bang on the Autobase's doors)

    Wheeljack: I wish I could tell those 'Cons to back off! (Suddenly, on his screen, a portal opens) Now this is weird. Perceptor, come see this!

    Perceptor: What is that?!

    Wheeljack: I have no stinking clue. But it can't be good!

    (In the WALL-E Universe....)

    Shockwave: Computer, is the time reset complete? 

    Computer: Affirmative. [so Shockwave can reset time just like that?]

    Shockwave: Excellent. [geez, is everyone Palpatine now?]

    (On Earth)

    Optimus Minor: Turborun, Armorfist, take on the jets! Heavypunch, Fastfix, handle Irontread and Bladespin! Lightyear, Eveningstar, take on Scourge and Cyclonus! Wastelifter, take on Soundwave! I'll deal with the big bads. [well, aren't we special]

    The Fallen: So, you wish to join your father in the Well of All Sparks, do you?

    Optimus Minor: No. I wish to avenge him.

    The Fallen: Very well.

    (And the battle begins!)

    (On Cybertron, Bruticus attacks)

    Omega Prime: RUN!

    Bruticus: Autobots must die! Bruticus must kill!

    Omega Prime: Silverbolt, assemble your team and form Superion!

    (Soon, Superion arrives to fight Bruticus. Meanwhile, Omega Prime gets back to Autobase)

    Powerflash: (on comm) We've got Straxus' forces surrounded, sir!

    Omega Prime: Good work. Halo, Thunderclash, I'm sending all gestalts to your sectors!

    Wheeljack: Prime, come see this. We've found some sort of wormhole. It opened a solar cycle ago, but our scanners just picked it up.

    Perceptor: Oh, Primus...

    Omega Prime: What is it?

    Perceptor: I'm picking up Shockwave's signature! [oh snap!]

    (On Earth)

    Starscream: So what do I do with these... zombies?

    Noisemaze: To get the key, duh!

    Starscream: And how do we find the key?

    Noisemaze: ...Dang, I don't know. [our... villains, ladies and gentlemen!]

    (Back with the main dudes)

    Megastorm: You cannot win! The Decepticons shall prevail!

    (Suddenly, the wormhole shoots out a beam that takes the Velocitron Key from Noisemaze before shifting to the ocean)

    Optimus Minor: That's bad.

    Evac: The key! That's where that beam is heading!

    Optimus Minor: Why didn't you tell us you knew where it was?

    Evac: You didn't ask.... [our heroes, ladies and gentlemen!]

    (The beam sucks up the two keys into the wormhole)

    Optimus Minor: We've got to go into that wormhole!

    Turborun: What?! Two things, boss bot! One: Our ship's damaged. Two: Who knows what's beyond that wormhole!

    Optimus Minor: We've got the Axiom.

    Turborun: D'oh! [OUR HEROES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN]

    Optimus Minor: Everyone! To Lightyear's ship!

    Megastorm: Oh no you don't....

    Evac: Go, Optimus! Crosswise and I will handle them! [They are so dead]

    (The Autobots take off for the wormhole. Starscream and Noisemaze take pursuit. Nemesis Prime witnesses this before calling the Fallen's group)

    Nemesis Prime: Soundwave, Fallen, do not pursue the Autobots. I know someone on the other end who'll take care of them. Stay with Megastorm's team. Nemesis Prime out. (to the wormhole) You have no idea what is upon you, Autobots... no idea at all!

    To be continued in Animatron/Axiom.

    [Pretty underwhelming, I must say....]
