LAST SHARD
(On SG Cybertron, the supered-up Optimus Prime and his Autobots confront our heroes)
SG Optimus Prime: At long last, Cybertron shall be mine! [Wasn't it already? I thought the SG 'Cons were, like, the Rebellion to your Empire] And with Megatron dead, no one can stop me!
Double Clutch: C'mon, Hawkeye! I can take him!
Hawkeye: Not yet, Double Clutch.
Double Clutch: He's gonna blow us to scrap if we don't act soon.
Hawkeye: Wait for it....
Heavy Stomp: I hope you know what you're doing.
Double Clutch: Hurry up, captain....
Hawkeye: NOW! (The Autobots then duck for cover just SG Prime fires his gun)
Double Clutch: You're going down!
SG Optimus Prime: Oh, really? (He bears his blade, which scared poor widdle D.C.)
(Meanwhile, two mysterious figures come across SG Megatron's body)
??? #1: We must rebuild him.
??? #2: Why?
Necros Prime: (garbled nonsense)
Nova Prime: Oh, you're doing that again. [Yeah, it's these two again, doing the same thing they did to bring back the real Megatron way back when]
Necros Prime: Arise, Galvatron... [Although, I thought these were supposed to be bad guys....]
(Back at the Autobot base, SG Optimus totally pounds Double Clutch)
SG Optimus Prime: Now... you shall fall!
Double Clutch: Bring it!
Hawkeye: Double Clutch, no!
Double Clutch: I was made for this, sir! This was my dream!
Tomahawk: Since when?
Hawkeye: Double Clutch, STAND DOWN!
Double Clutch: NO! Go, while I--
???: No need....
SG Optimus Prime: No....
SG Galvatron: I am Galvatron. And you, Prime, shall fall! [My, he got here quick]
SG Optimus Prime: I may. But my new weapon of mass destruction can prevent that.
(Said "weapon" steps in and our heroes stare at it slack-jawed)
SG Optimus Prime: I used left over parts from Omega Doom and the cancelled Project: Fortress to create... METROPLEX!
Double Clutch: Oh, slag... I just leaked a little.
SG Starscream: This is--
SG Soundwave: I know. [What? Stupid? In which case, I agree]
SG Hot Rod: Autobots, attack!
SG Galvatron: It all comes down to this!
(While the big finale fight takes place, Necros and Nova watch from afar)
Nova Prime: So... we just watch?
Necros Prime: Yes.
Nova Prime: This is boring!
Necros Prime: Quiet. This gets interesting. [Don't spoil it for us]
Heavy Stomp: Stakeout, I've got some Protectobot drones for you. [Convenient]
Stakeout: All right! (He then merges with the drones and goes up to Metroplex) Hey, Metrobutt! Wanna piece of me?! Here's a present! (He throws a bunch of bombs at the titan, which blow off Metroplex's arm)
SG Optimus Prime: I shall kill... all of you... ALL OF YOU!
(He and Galvatron then duke it out, only for Double Clutch to then step in and blast Optimus, leaving the evil Prime at Galvatron's mercy)
SG Optimus Prime: Come now, you wouldn't kill me, would you?
SG Galvatron: I can't leave you alive, Prime. Farewell.
(But enough of that. SG Defensor suddenly enters the play and Stakeout comes in to fight him, telling us that Bruticus and Menasor are handling Metroplex. How. Convenient.)
(While that happens, a battered but somehow still alive Optimus (did Galvatron seriously do that bad a job) walks up to Hot Rod)
SG Optimus Prime: H-Hot Rod...
SG Hot Rod: Prime?
SG Optimus Prime: Get me to a C.R. chamber immediately! I must win this war! I started this war and I shall end it! Now get me to a C.R. chamber. [This line was provided to you by the Redundancy Department of Redundancy]
SG Hot Rod: No.
SG Optimus Prime: What?! You shall do as I say!
SG Hot Rod: I won't. It's time for someone else to take charge. And that someone... (He then shoots Prime in the abdomen, killing him) ...is me. So long, Optimus Prime.
(Later, the evil Autobots retreat)
Hawkeye: We've won! [THAT WASN'T ANTI-CLIMATIC AT ALL!] I'm glad we could help, Galvatron.
SG Galvatron: No, I'm glad I could help! [Oh, just kiss already]
SG Starscream: We'll make sure our universe will not trouble yours. [BUT IT WASN'T! THEY WERE THE ONES WHO WERE GIVING YOU GRIEF! YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!]
Hawkeye: Farewell.
SG Galvatron: And to you.
(And so Team Hawkeye return to the real universe, where Omega Prime congratulates them on accomplishing nothing and inducts them into the Elite Guard. On SG Cybertron, Hot Rod declares himself Prime. At Axiom Nexus, Shockwave watches the Constructicons struggle to repair the space bridge. And Necros and Nova Prime leave to bother us another day, with Nova wondering how they somehow survived being blown up by the Matrix in issue 43)
(Boy, this arc sucked)
