REFLECTIONS
(We open on SG Cybertron, with Skywarp flying over an Autobot fortress in Kalis)
SG Scourge (over comm): Anything, Skywarp?
SG Skywarp: Uh, other than a giant smelting pool?
(Hiding around a corner is Scourge and a group of Decepticon)
SG Scourge: That bad, huh?
SG Skywarp (over comm): Yup.
SG Scourge: Blitzwing, Astrotrain, scout ahead.
SG Blitzwing: All right! (He and Astrotrain transform and head out) Choo-choo!
SG Astrotrain: Shut it.
(Inside the Kalis fortress, a Decepticon dangles over a smelting pool)
SG Decepticon: Please! Have mercy!
SG Fortress Maximus: Mercy? No... only death.
(He then severs the chain holding the 'Con and lets them plummet into the pool of molten metal. An Autobot then approaches him from behind)
SG Hardhead: Sir?
SG Fortress Maximus: What is it, Hardhead?
SG Hardhead: Highbrow has reported five Decepticon in the vicinity.
SG Fortress Maximus: Then kill them.
SG Hardhead: But, sir... we don't know where they are.
SG Fortress Maximus: Then find them and kill them. [Yeah, seems obvious to me]
(Outside, Blitzwing and Astrotrain send out the Mini-Con/Micromaster Tailwind to fly over the smelting pool. Down below, Highbrow is scouting around)
SG Highbrow: Ha. No slaggin 'Cons around for transmeters. [Weren't you the one who reported their presence in the first place]
(Anyway, Tailwind appears behind him and shoots him in the head, presumably killing him. Blitzwing and Astrotrain then hop up)
SG Blitzwing: Let's get 'em, Thomas! [How would he know about Thomas the Tank Engine?] (He then sees Autobots throwing people into the smelting pool) Oh, slag...
SG Blitzwing (over comm): Scourge, there's, like, lots of Autobots here.
SG Scourge: Hm. I've got a bad feeling....
(Meanwhile, at Crystal City...)
Hawkeye: Let's camp out here.
(Steelshot shoots at the ground)
Skyburst: What are you doing?
Steelshot: Making a camp fire. (He sits in front of it) Humans do this to make them warm.
Skyburst: Steelshot... we're robots. We don't need warmth.
Steelshot: ...Oh.
Stakeout (looking around the ruined, decrepit city): This place gives me the creeps. The real Crystal City was beautiful, but this is--
Tomahawk: Bad.
(The Autobots gather to see what he's find: a circular gateway)
Hawkeye: What is that?
Tomahawk: I dunno. Some kinda portal?
Firetrap: What does it do? (He presses a button like any other idiot)
Hawkeye: Firetrap, don't--!
(A portal appears in the gateway) Firetrap: Ahh!
Tomahawk: Maybe we should check this out. It might help us.
Steelshot: How do you know it won't kill us.
Hawkeye: We'll have to risk it. [That's smart] Tomahawk, take Firetrap and Stakeout into the portal. [So very smart]
(The three Autobots go through the portal while Hawkeye wishes them luck)
(At the main Autobot fortress....)
SG Goldbug: Er... Lord Prime? The off-worlders have escaped.
SG Optimus Prime: Really? Apparently, like Drench, you are a failure. (He bears his sword and turns to use it on Goldbug)
SG Goldbug: P-please, my lord. Give me one last chance!
(O.P. grabs Goldbug by the neck) SG Optimus Prime: You've had your chances!
(Just then, Hot Rod walks in!) SG Hot Rod: My lord? Fortress Maximus' fortress at Kalis is under siege.
(O.P. tosses Goldbug aside) SG Optimus Prime: Send Prowl and Autotroopers to Kalis.
(Meanwhile, at the Decepticon base in Kaon....)
SG Scourge (on screen): Blitzwing and Astrotrain have infiltrated the Kalis fortress.
SG Megatron: Excellent. If Fort Max is defeated, we'll be one step closer to winning this war. [Don't ask me how taking out Fort Max makes winning the war easier. I hate this dialogue]
SG Shockwave: Uh, Megatron? I've found something. (On the viewscreen, he shows the portal Tomahawk and others went through) This portal has been interfering with all Cybertronian communications.
SG Megatron: Hm. Soundwave, Bludgeon, go investigate.
(The two transform and head out, going "Awesome!" and "Yee-haw!" respectively)
(Back at Kalis)
SG Chromedome: This is Chromedome! Two Decepticons have infiltrated us!
(Astrotrain and Blitzwing are hiding behind cover)
SG Astrotrain: Have any bright ideas?
SG Blitzwing: I might. Though you might wanna cover your audio receptors.
(Prowl and the Autotroopers arrive and Chromedome points them in the right direction. At that moment, Blitzwing jumps out in tank mode and fires at them, creating a loud BANG! The Autobots return fire)
SG Blitzwing: I'm good. [Dude, they're firing at you!]
SG Astrotrain: Tailwind, take out the comms. Scourge, you're good to go.
(Scourge and the rest of his team attack the fortress, taking out Hardhead. Crosshairs and Pointblank head out to confront them and a big fight breaks out! ...And we don't get to see any of it)
(Meanwhile, Tomahawk, Firetrap, and... Steelshot (I though it was Stakeout?) exit the other end of the portal into a magnificent city)
Tomahawk: What is this place?
Firetrap: It's amazing.
(Suddenly, a yellow bot who looks suspiciously like TransTech Cheetor approaches them)
TransTech Cheetor: Greetings. I am Security Administration Officer Cheetor. Welcome to Axiom Nexus. No Optimuses, no Megatrons, and absolutely no MacGuffins are allowed here.
TransTech Silverbolt: Hmm. They don't look like Optimuses.
TransTech Cheetor: And they have Autobot insignias, so they're definitely not Megatrons.
TransTech Silverbolt: And I don't see any MacGuffins. [You didn't even search them, bird-brain!]
TransTech Cheetor: Then you three are clear to go.
(The trio head into the city and soon end up in a bar called The Blue Deployer)
TransTech Cryotek: Welcome! I'm Cryotek! What would you like?
Tomahawk: Uh, three glasses of Ankmor energon.
TransTech Cryotek: Certainly!
(The three get their drinks and sit at a table. Firetrap complains about being too short, but Tomahawk shushes him)
Steelshot (should be Stakeout): Wow, this tastes good!
Tomahawk: Quite.
(An Autobot sitting near them turns in his seat) ???: Yer gonna love this place. I guarantee it.
Tomahawk: Who are you?
ROTF Brawn: Brawn of Tyran 909.06 Beta. I just learned that today. You've got everything here: friends, enemies, frienemies, everything! What else could a bot want?
(Outside, Terradive and another 'Con are spying around)
Terradive: Anything, Oil Pan?
Oil Pan: Yup. They're here.
(Nearby(?), Nightbeat tells someone to take the Decepticons from the Stockade to Axiom Prison)
Oil Pan: Ah, slag. Time for plan B.
Terradive: I am not getting involved with another jail break!
Oil Pan: Who said we were gonna break them out? We'll just... negotiate.
To be continued (I have no idea what that last scene was all about)
