MIRRORS ON THE WALL
(What is this, Snow White?)
(At Axiom Nexus, Tomahawk and co. follow ROTF Brawn out of the Blue Deployer)
Tomahawk: So, uh... care filling us in about this place, Brawn?
ROTF Brawn: Sure. What do ya wanna know?
Tomahawk: Er, perhaps what this place even is, for starters.
[EXPOSITION ALERT!]
ROTF Brawn: When Primus formed Cybertron, Axiom Nexus was the first city ever built. It served as a means for universes to come together. Here, there is no war, only Axiom Nexus. It's first -- and so far only ruler -- is Axiom Prime. The first inhabitants, the TransTechs, are the first race of Transformers.
ROTF Brawn (cont.): Anyways, there are multiple divisions. The main ones are military, science, and intelligence. Current head of military is High Commander Teratron; for science, Minister Laserwave; and intelligence, Director Ulchtar. And... that about sums it up.
ROTF Brawn (cont.): So, anythin' else? Make it quick, Prime needs me soon.
Tomahawk: I... think that's all we need.
ROTF Brawn: Good. I'll catch ya later.
(Meanwhile, Terradive and Oil Pan visit Axiom Prison)
Receptionist: May I help you?
Terradive: Yes, I would like to make a formal request for prisoners from Primax Omega to be released. [That's now how you bail someone out]
Receptionist: Please wait while I patch you to Security Director-- [THAT'S NOT HOW YOU BAIL SOMEONE OUT]
(Terradive then stabs the receptionist through the head with his trident)
Terradive: That'll do. Oil Pan, now!
(Oil Pan opens the cell containing Thunderwing, Deathsaurus, and the other Decepticons)
Terradive: Gentlebots... if you may. FOR MEGATRON!
(Suddenly, Shockwave appears behind him! Zoinks!)
Shockwave: I thought I told you "no."
Thunderwing: SHOCKWAVE?!
Shockwave: I have no use for you.
Thunderwing: Likewise, I believe. Decepticons, attack!
(On SG Cybertron, Hawkeye and the rest of the team reach the Kalis fortress)
Stakeout (HE SHOULD BE AT AXIOM NEXUS ARGH): Is that Kalis up ahead?
Steelshot (HE'S HERE TOO?): Uh, I thought Polyhex was the only "smelting" area.
Hawkeye: Apparently not.
(Inside the fortress)
SG Blitzwing: How's it goin', Astrotrain?
SG Astrotrain: Been better.
SG Brainstorm: Boom boom.
SG Chromedome: About time you got here, Brainstorm.
SG Skywarp: Hang on, guys! (He firest at the Autobots, only to get his head blown off)
SG Scourge: FOR SKYWARP!
(The 'Cons then slaughter the Autobots (some things never change) before reaching Fortress Maximus)
SG Scourge: You shall pay for killing all those innocents!
SG Fortress Maximus: And you avenge them by killing others yourself? You Decepticons are quite hypocritical.
SG Scourge: You... you're monsters. Torturing, killing innocents for sports. You don't deserve to live!
SG Fortress Maximus: Careful what you say, Decepticon. (As he says this, Pointblank approaches Scourge from behind) You might regret it.
???: Say that again, Maximus?
SG Fortress Maximus: MEGATRON?! [The cavalry is here!]
SG Megatron: I didn't quite catch that.
(Meanwhile, in Crystal City, Soundwave and Bludgeon reach the portal Tomahawk and co. went through)
SG Bludgeon: Hey, partner! Over there!
SG Soundwave: So this is what's breakin' our groove.
SG Bludgeon: Can I touch it?
SG Soundwave: Uh, Bludgeon--
(Guess what? Bludgeon touches it and goes through the portal)
(Back at Axiom Nexus, Tomahawk and co. witness the breakout at Axiom Prison)
Tomahawk: What's going on there?
RID Prowl: Stand back. This is Axiom Security Business--
(Suddenly, a Decepticon comes cruising out of the prison!)
Crankstart: Yee-haw! Nobody escapes Crankstart!
(Tomahawk fires at him but misses. Then ROTF Brawn comes in and shoots Crankstart's head off)
Tomahawk: I had it handled.
ROTF Brawn: No you didn't. Let's get out of here.
(He then takes them to the Widow's Cafe. While he leaves to get drinks...)
Tomahawk: We gotta get home.
Firetrap: Yeah, there's nothin' here. [So you're admitting that this was a huge waste of time?]
(Suddenly, SG Bludgeon emerges from the portal (which is somehow in the cafe?) and aims his guns at the Autobots)
SG Bludgeon: AUTOBOTS! Wait an astro-shootin' second. You're those "good" Autobots. You came through that portal?
Tomahawk: Yes we did!
(Then they all go through the portal -- which they could have done earlier -- and end up back on SG Cybertron)
Tomahawk: All right, now let's find Hawkeye and-- slag.
(SG Blurr and Sideswipe are standing there with the guns aimed at them)
SG Blurr: Well, aren't we lucky?
(At the Kalis fortress)
Skyburst: Think we should help?
(An Autobot arms lands at Hawkeye's feet) Hawkeye: Nah.
(Then the Decepticons appear before them)
SG Scourge: Oh... who are you?
Hawkeye: Off-worlders.
SG Scourge: Ah, friends of Breakaway?
Hawkeye: Yup.
SG Scourge: Then come with me.
Steelshot: Er, want me to carry yer dead? [There are better ways of asking that]
SG Scourge: Sure.
(After a brief scene at the Autobot base which shows Bludgeon, and Tomahawk and co. as prisoners about to be executed, we cut back to the Decepticon base where a funeral is being held for Skywarp)
SG Megatron: Today, we honor Skywarp, a great warrior. We salute you, old friend. Farewell. Now we must avenge his death and--
SG Cyclonus: FOR THE MASTER!
(Suddenly, Cyclonus whips out his gun and shoots Megatron in the back! Oh noes!)
