The Transformers, Issue 58: Earth, Chapter One

I've come to realize that I can only write down these old comics of mine in small doses before taking long breaks from it.
Anyway, without further ado:
ESCAPE OF THE NEMESIS, PART 1
   (We open with a flashback! The Nemesis comes into conflict with the Ark. The Decepticons invade the Autobot vessel)

    Optimus Prime: Jazz, Ironhide, secure the door!

    Jazz: Too late! (The Decepticons blast their way in)

    Megatron: Die, Autobots! [cue "Instruments of Destruction!"]

   (Autobots and Decepticons fight. Soundwave throws his minions at Jazz. How exciting.)

    Optimus Prime: Shieldfire, this is Optimus. Take your squad to the nearest planet!

    Shieldfire: We're not leaving you, Prime!

    Optimus Prime: Shieldfire... (Megatron approaches Prime from behind) That's an order.

    (Reluctantly, Shieldfire takes his team and eject from the Ark in an escape craft. They crash land on prehistoric Earth, not long before the Ark and Nemesis do so as well)

    (Four million years later, a trio of brothers and their grandfather purchase a house that just so happens to look like the crashed escape pod. Because those things make perfect houses, am I right?)

    Realtor: So, ya' guys want it?

    Grandpa: Yeah, take me money!

    (Later, the brothers are exploring their new home)

    Joe: HEY!

    Bob: What?

    Joe: How come there are 27 bedrooms and 26 are marked with letters in the alphabet? [So you can tell them apart?]

    (Suddenly, a little robot computer thing extends from one of the doors)

    Joe: A DOORBELL?!

    Computer: F.Y.I., I'm not a doorbell. 

   (Joe faints but then wakes back up and calls for Grandpa)

    Joe: Pa! Talking doorbell!

    Computer: (to Grandpa) Who are you lookin' at?

    George: What are you, then?

    Computer: Ah, excellent query. I am a TX-model voice activated (well, not really) door answer. You can call me TX-D. 

    Joe: Can you welcome us in?

    (TX-D does so and the brothers marvel at the advanced alien technology inside. Among them is a "hi-tech box" which turns out to be WALL-E. Because that's a thing.)

    (Anyway, meanwhile, in Axiom Nexus -- remember that? -- Necros Prime is fighting Shockwave and blasts off his arm)

    Necros Prime: You want power? Here's a whole world of it!

    (And I guess he blows up Shockwave)

    Terradive: Lord Shockwave! (Necros punches him and stands over him, hands crackling with electricity) No... have... mercy. (Necros shows none and kills Terradive)

    Necros Prime: Now... to deal with those Auto-- (he realizes they're all gone) --bots.

    (Elsewhere, Lightyear and his team of Autobots come across the Axiom, which was thought destroyed for some reason. They take it and use a portal to get out of Axiom Nexus. However, unbeknownst to them, Nemesis Prime latches onto the ship)

    Nemesis Prime: Bingo. Optimus Prime... your doom awaits!

    Soundwave: (over comm) Nemesis?

    Nemesis Prime: Ah, Soundwave. Are you, Cyclonus, and Scourge ready?

    Soundwave: Affirmative.

    Nemesis Prime: Excellent. Now... let us avenge Lord Megatron.

   (Elsewhere, back with the rest of the Decepticons)

    Deathsaurus: Leozack, where is Nemesis Prime?

    Leozack: I don't know, sir. He just vanished, along with Soundwave, Cyclonus, and Scourge. He could be anywhere.

    (In the next scene, we see the Axiom emerge from the portal and arrive at Earth)

    Wastelifter: Earth?

    Lightyear: Yes. I've heard a crew of Autobots might be here.

    Wasterlifter: REALLY?!

    Lightyear: Or Velocitron. Or Animatron. Or--

    Wastelifter: Friends! [Ah, everyone's favorite sitcom!]

    Lightyear: You're not listening, are you?

    (Back with Joe and co.)

    Joe: Pa!

    Grandpa: What now?!

    Joe: (points to WALL-E) Who's writing this comic?! [HA HA! SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR!]

    George: Holy poop. (Outside, the Axiom enters the sky) Wow. 

    (Meanwhile, once again, with Megastorm and his crew of Decepticons)

    Irontread: Megastorm! We've tracked the Autobots ship. But...

    Bladespin: There's two of them. What do we do?

    Megastorm: Apparently, I underestimated these Autobots. I believe this calls for drastic measures...awaken... the NEMESIS!

    To be continued

   [Oh, boy, this is going to be a fun one]
