A NEW MISSION
(Opens up at Autobot City, Earth. We see the daily lives of the Autobots as Prowl narrates)
Prowl: It's been nearly three months since we've defeated Nova Prime and the Decepticons, the latter whom Ultra Magnus and the Elite Guard are currently watching over. Optimus Prime has recruited Pyro to lead a squad to find any 'cons still out there. This is Autobot Prowl, signing off.
(We then see young Autobot Hot Rod dueling an auto-combatant as part of his training under Optimus Prime)
Auto-combatant: Par: weak. Try again. Try again. Try-
(A frustrated Hot Rod slices the drone down the middle)
Hot Rod: I can't do it, Prime! I just can't!
Optimus Prime: Have faith in yourself, Hot Rod. Don't give up. [Sooner or later, he's gonna start talking backwards....] We'll continue later.
(Optimus then visits Blaster and Jazz at the Command Center)
Optimus Prime: Well?
Jazz: Some strange signatures surrounding the Stockade, Prime.
Optimus Prime: Hm. Blaster, head to the Comm. Tower.
Blaster: On it, cool dawg. [Guess I was wrong...]
Optimus Prime: Jazz, send out Pyro's crew.
Jazz: On it, Prime.
(Later, at the Stockade, Ultra Magnus is contacted by Blaster)
Blaster: Magnus, yo! This is Blaster! Come in!
Ultra Magnus: I'm here, Blaster. What is it?
Blaster: There's some strange things around your hangout, dawg!
Ultra Magnus:..."Dawg"?
Blaster: Just be ready!
Ultra Magnus: Okay! Okay!
Hardhead: Quickmix, Scoop, move out!
(Meanwhile, a group of mysterious individuals move stealthily through the Stockade. One of them, with red eyes, spots Pyro's ship)
"Red Eyes": Autobots... (To his/her companion) Hurry up. Autobots are here.
"Green Eyes": Like there aren't any here....
Crosscut: Clamp Down, put this area on lock-down. Road Rage, follow me.
Clamp Down (over comm. to security guards): Unit-8, Clocker, keep Subject One [Megatron] secured.
Unit-8: Copy that, captain. Door security engaged.
(Suddenly, "Green Eyes" appears behind the two guards)
"Green Eyes": Now, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
(The mysterious assailant dispatches Clocker (possibly killing him) and cuts down Unit-8. He then opens Megatron's cell door, revealing the strangers to be Hook, Line, and Sinker)
Hook: Megatron, come with us.
(At that moment, Pyro's ship prepares to dock at the Stockade)
Hook: Hurry up! They're here!
Getout (leading a group of security guards to intercept the trio): Captain, they're in Sector 11-08!
Hook (to Megatron): Go. Take these coordinates.
Getout: Halt! In the name of justice!
Hook: Give me a break. (He then kills Getout)
(Meanwhile, Megatron and a group of freed Decepticons (which includes Skywarp, Thundercracker, and the Insecticons) board a ship and escaped through a portal)
Sinker: All of Megatron's Decepticons have left.
Hook: Excellent. Let us take our leave.
(Back at Autobot City, Blaster contacts Optimus Prime)
Blaster: Prime! Megatron's escaped!
Optimus Prime: Pyro, do you read me?
Pyro: Yes, Prime. We're following.
Optimus Prime: Negative. Return to Earth. It's too dangerous!
Pyro: But, Prime-
Optimus Prime: Now!
Pyro: Copy that...
(Elsewhere, Megatron's escape ship is hit by a green energy beam)
Skywarp: Uh... my lord?
Megatron: What?
Skywarp: We've... been hit.
(The escape ship explodes, scattering its crew. As Megatron floats around in space, a mysterious voice speaks to him)
???: Megatron... Welcome, Megatron.
Megatron: Who-who said that?
???: I... am Unicron. [Yeah, it's pretty much an adaption of the 1986 movie scene]
Megatron: What... happened to my ship?
Unicron: I wished to see you in person.
Megatron: Show yourself!
(Unicron does so... in the form of a mechanical planet)
Unicron: I have summoned you here for a purpose.
Megatron: Nobody summons Megatron!
Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.
Megatron: State your business!
Unicron: You are to destroy Vector Sigma and bring its key to me.
Megatron: Vector Sigma? How can I?
Unicron: You possess great power ever since you stepped into that chamber within Cybertron's core. Use those powers to destroy it.
Megatron: Why should I? What's in it for me?!
Unicron: Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. But very well... I shall grant you and your troops new bodies.
Megatron: And?
Unicron: AND NOTHING! You belong to me now.
Megatron: I belong to nobody!
Unicron: Perhaps I misjudged you. Proceed, on your way to oblivion.
Megatron (through immense pain): No! I accept your terms! I accept!
Unicron: Excellent.
(At this point, the following should not be a surprise. Megatron gets reformatted into a new body)
Unicron: Behold... Galvatron! And these... shall be your minions.
(Thundercracker and Skywarp are the next to be reformatted, while the Insecticons are made into minions. Unicron explains it better.)
Unicron: Scourge, the Tracker, and his henchmen, the Sweeps. Cyclonus, the Warrior, and his Armada. Now, go... and destroy Vector Sigma, my... Heralds!
(On Chaar, we find good ol' Starscream)
???: Starscream, we're ready.
Starscream: Excellent. Now that Megatron's AWOL, I can now take command. Rise... my Predacons!
Predacons (assorted followers of Starscream, not the beast guys): Starscream! Starscream! Starscream!
