The Transformers, Issue 29: Wrath of the Phantom, Chapter Two

REVENGE OF THE DECEPTICONS, PART 1
   (In space, a fleet of Decepticon ships- carrying Deathsaurus, Overlord, and Nemesis Prime's combined forces- are leaving Chaar)

   Thrust (to Deathsaurus): Let me get this straight... you are Deathsaurus, one of Megatron's top generals... and you couldn't pick us up earlier?!

   Deathsaurus: I was busy dealing with some Autobots when... your "boss"-

   Nemesis Prime (irritated): Nemesis Prime

   Deathsaurus: When Nemesis Prime called me.

   Overlord: Hyperdrive is online.

   Deathsaurus: Good. Set course for Cybertron.

   (Not long after, Deathsaurus' ship arrives on Cybertron and he speaks out to the Autobots)

   Deathsaurus: Attention, Cybertron. This is General Deathsaurus of the Decepticon Army. I have heard about the loss of our leader, Megatron-

   Soundwave (off-screen): Galvatron.

   Deathsaurus: *sigh* Our leader, Galvatron. I shall now take the role of-

   (Suddenly, some blasts a hole into the ship)

   Deathsaurus: What in the Pit?! 

   (Down in the hangar, Thrust encounters the person responsible for the attack)

   Thrust: G-Galvatron?!

   Galvatron: Yes. Take me to your "leader"....

   (Meanwhile, on the Axiom....)

   Shockwave: Jetblast, set coordinates to Cybertron. Soon, once my new body is complete, the citizens of Cybertron shall at last bow before me.

   Jetblast: Hyperdrive is ready.

   Shockwave: Excellent. Make the jump.

   (On Deathsaurus' ship, Galvatron confronts the ship's owner)

   Deathsaurus: L-lord Galvatron?! My lord, I thought you were dead!

   Galvatron: Guess what? I'M NOT! (He slaps Deathsaurus and takes control of the intercom) Attention, Cybertron! You're true ruler has returned! No more shall you trust the Autobots! Instead, you shall bow down before me!

   (The Axiom suddenly appears)

   Shockwave (on intercom): Actually, Galvatron, I believe Cybertron is due for a different leader.

   Galvatron: Shockwave?!

   Shockwave: Yes, Galvatron. I have returned so that our people may see the truth.

   Galvatron: The truth?! Why you one-eyed piece of slag! 

   Shockwave: Well, at least it won't pain me to do this.

   (The two ships exchange fire. Down below, Ultra Magnus and the Autobots arrive on the scene)

   Blurr (talking really fast): Saw the Axiom come out of hyperspace and its fighting a Decepticon warship-!

   Ultra Magnus: Hmm. Landshark, get Fortress Maximus online. We're in for a rough day.

   (At Autobot City, Rodimus Prime is meditating, channeling the Matrix or something stupid like that. I'm going to skip this and go to the scene right after it)

   Perceptor: Rodimus! You should come see this!

   Rodimus Prime: What is it?

   Perceptor: We've lost Pyro's signal!

   Rodimus Prime: Send Red Squadron to take care of it!

   (A team of Autobot fliers head for Pyro and co.'s last location/Cybertron?. Meanwhile, back on Cybertron)

   Galvatron: Shockwave, you shall pay!

   Shockwave: Is that so? Jetblast, send the fighters.

   Icestorm: Icestorm and Ice Seekers, standing by. [Ice Seekers? Whatever]

   Galvatron: Vinebreaker, take your squadron!

   Vinebreaker: Right!

   (The Decepticon fliers duke it out. Nearby, Autobot flier Breakaway witnesses the conflict)

   Breakaway: This is Breakaway. Looks like a Decepticon civil war is taking place. Alright, Red Squadron... move out!

   Icestorm: Ice Seekers, attack!

   (Down below...)

   Ultra Magnus: Decepticons in bound!

   The Phantom (because Autobots and two Decepticon groups aren't enough): Go... my pawns. Make Daddy proud!

   Blurr: Magnus, look!

   (A bunch of weird looking dudes appear)

   Ironfist: What do ya' what, partner?

   Phantom Herald: Your spark.

   (He shoots Ironfist)

   Blurr: Ironfist!

   Ironfist: I'm okay! (To the Herald) Who the heck are ya'?!

   Herald: I am Lord Galvastorm [Worst. Name. Ever.], leader of the Phantom's Heralds

   Ironfist: Aww, I'm sick of you weird alien dudes. [My bro.]

   (He transforms and takes off while the Phantom Heralds fire at him and the other Autobots)

   Ultra Magnus: Fall back! (The Autobots retreat)

   (On the Axiom....)

   Shockwave: Pitiful. Duocons, head out.

   Flywheels: Copy that.

   Battletrap: Let's kick tailgate!

   (The Duocons arrive on Cybertron and start kicking Autobot butts. Back on Deathsaurus- now Galvatron's ship)

   Galvatron: That's it! I'm dealing with that one-eyed freak myself! (He transforms and takes off) Shockwave!

   (On the Axiom-)

   Jetblast: Sir, he's coming here!

   Shockwave: I know. Fistfight, how goes the body.

   Fistfight: 85% complete. Which, compared to normal chassis capacity, is close enough to 100%...

   Shockwave: Yes.... Fine, begin the spark transfer.

   (Later, Galvatron arrived in the Axiom's bridge)

   Galvatron: Shockwave! Show yourself!

   Shockwave (firing at Galvatron): If you insist. I have been waiting a long time for this moment.

   (Shockwave's body is revealed, which is heavily based on his Animated counterpart)

   Shockwave: So long, Galvatron! And say goodbye to your days as leader of the Decepticons!
