GATHERING FORCES
(On the planet Chaar, Megastorm speaks to the gathered Decepticons)
Megastorm: Fellow Decepticons... I have heard about Deathsaurus and Straxus' failures, and we've lost many brothers, but we still hold strong. So starting today, we shall gather every last Decepticon and strike when the Autobots least expect it.
Octane: Yeah, like that'll work!
Megastorm: Octane?
Octane: What?
(Megastorm blasts his head to smithereens) [Don't worry, he's got a Headmaster toy now!]
Megastorm: Does anyone else wish to fill in his shoes?
Decepticons: All hail Megastorm! [and TFTM references, apparently]
(Back on Cybertron, Razorclaw is beating up the Autobots)
Razorclaw: I'm sure you thought I was gone... [I forgot you even existed in the first place] But Unicron's power prevented my death.
Bluestreak: Whatever. You're still ugly! [wow great burn such savage]
(Razorclaw knocks him out before siccing Reptilion and Frostbite on the others)
(But enough about that. Meanwhile, on Animatron)
Undermine: Brimstone, where's Flamus and those Decepticons?
Brimstone: No idea, Undermine. (And then they find them)
Sky-Byte: Gigatron disappears/Sky-Byte all alone/Predacons upset.
Waspinator: Why does Waspinator have to put up with this?
Undermine: All right, what happened?
Tarantulas: Our "great" leader just abandoned us! It all has to do with these random abductions!
Undermine: Well, you can't just sit around here all day!
Tarantulas: And just what can we do besides that? Your leader is gone. Our leader is gone. And I'm sure Cybertron is in an even worse state than we are!
(At this moment, a certain evil Prime shows up)
Nemesis Prime: *ahem* May I fill in....?
(Back on Cybertron)
Ratchet: Bloody bots are comin' from nowhere!
(Frostbite slashes at Trailbreaker's face)
Frostbite: Prepare to meet your doom, Autobot!
???: Not so fast.
(Suddenly, Frostbite's head is blown of by... RODIMUS PRIME?!) [what a twist!]
Razorclaw: Heralds, attack!
(However, Rodimus dispatches the Heralds with ease and Razorclaw and Reptilion teleport away, leaving Frostbite's still-talking-head to be kicked away)
Bluestreak: No. Way.
Wheeljack: We... we thought you were dead! We saw that Cybertronian ship explode, and you, Jhiaxus...
Rodimus Prime: Yes, it seemed like that ship was destroyed. But when I merged the Matrix into the ship, its power was countered by the Liege Maximo, who teleported the ship away. We were sent through time and space... Nova and his friend escaped while Jhiaxus simply vanished. After spending years in the portal, I finally managed to escape. Eventually, I found my way to Cybertron when this event started.
Sideswipe: So, I take it you don't have any idea what's going on?
Rodimus Prime: Not a clue.
Sideswipe: Scrap.
(Back on Chaar)
Megastorm: Now, before we lead our final attack, Soundwave has prepared a few upgrades. However, not all of you will be upgraded.
Astrotrain: Why not all of us?
Megastorm: Because, Astrotrain, some of you aren't worthy. Take yourself for an example. We don't truly need transport for we don't have anything to be transported.
Astrotrain: But... what about, you know, other Decepticons?
Megastorm: Hmm. Not really necessary. [Actually, it kinda is... but he kills Astrotrain anyway]
Megastorm: And what of you, Banzai-Tron? You failed during Deathsaurus' attack, didn't you? I'm surprised you survived. I don't truly see any use in you, I'm afraid.
Bludgeon: Stop.
Megastorm: And why should I, Bludgeon?
Bludgeon: Despite Banzai-Tron's failure, I think he may have some potential.
Megastorm: What do you mean?
Bludgeon: I believe I can train him to be better.
Megastorm: Hmm... Soundwave?
(Soundwave hits Banzai-Tron with the New Toy Upgrade Ray)
Megastorm: He may take a while to recover.
(Back on Cybertron, the Elite Guard are driving around)
Thunder Clash: So what's the plan, Trion?
Ultra Trion: You'll see, Thunder Clash. While I was wandering, after Omega Prime and Avalon vanished, I found this abandoned lab.
Thunder Clash: What's in it?
Ultra Trion: See for yourselves. (He opens the door)
Kup: Well, I'll be a dead turbofox...
Ultra Trion: Autobots...this is MONSTRUCTOR, the first known gestalt on Cybertron. Kup had told me before that Nova Prime began the project years ago.
Kup: Yeah, but I didn't think he finished it.
Thunder Clash: And what help will he give us?
Ultra Trion: Watch and learn, my friend. (He turns on Monstructor. I'm sure that won't bite them in the rear)
(Back in Iacon)
Wheeljack: How're you feeling, guys?
Mirage: All right. What happened though? Last I remember, I just kicked a 'Con's tailpipe.
Wheeljack: It's hard to explain, but all I can say is... we're in trouble.
Grimlock: What we do, then?
Wheeljack: We're splitting up. C'mon, Prime will explain.
Mirage: RODIMUS?!
Rodimus Prime: Hi to you too.
Grimlock: What you doing here?
Rodimus Prime: Long story. Anyway, here's the plan: I'll be leading Jazz, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Mirage to find more Autobots. Meanwhile, the rest of you stay here in case more arrive. Autobots... transform and roll out!
(Back on Chaar)
Weirdwolf: No, please! Lord Megastorm--
Megastorm: I'm sorry, Weirdwolf... but we all must die someday. (And boom goes Weirdwolf's head)
Soundwave: Lord Megastorm, with due respect, we are wasting time here. [Glad someone admitted it] We should install the upgrades now.
Megastorm: Very well, Soundwave. Begin.
(Elsewhere, in space)
Thunderwing: Nova Prime...
Nova Prime: Ah, Thunderwing. Report.
Thunderwing: All of the Heralds have gathered. It has begun!
[yay]
