The Transformers, Issue 77: Final Conflict, Chapter Four

RETURN TO EARTH, PART 1
   (We open on Cybertron, where Thunderwing is beating the snot out of Kup)

    Nova Prime: My, Kup... you're not as impressive as you used to be.

    Kup: What... what's the meaning of all this?

    Nova Prime: I'm still on my plan to remold the universe, but in order to do so... I'll need Unicron's help.

    Kup: Unicron?!

    Thunder Clash: So you know what's going on?

    Nova Prime: Partly, but I'm still not going to tell you. Thunderwing, kill them all.

    (Thunderwing starts to cackled madly before getting shot in the shoulder. Reinforcements have arrived!)

    Kup: Ironfist?!

    Ironfist: Not just me... (Flak and Crosscut are here to! Good, they're my favorites!) [No, not really]

    Nova Prime: Thunderwing, get rid of them. [I mean, that's what he was gonna do anyway]

    (Meanwhile, with Rodimus and his group)

    Bumblebee: So, Jolt, how'd you end up here?

    Jolt: Well, I was with Pyro's group, as usual, when, y'know, this whole event started. Pyro was trying to save Windbreaker and Rapido but I found it was hopeless... Unicron was coming.

    Bumblebee: Unicron?

    Jazz: That ain't good.

    Jolt: No, it's not. Pyro and I ran for it... but we didn't what to do. And then this creature showed up. (In a flashback, the creature is shown to be Razorclaw) Pyro went to fight it, and told me to run. The fight didn't last long... and Pyro was killed. That's how I ended up by myself, being chased by Decepticons.

    Bumblebee: The only question now is what do we do?

    Mirage: Rodimus?

    Rodimus Prime: We're heading back to Iacon. Now!

    (Within Unicron, Cliffjumper, Beachcomber and other Autobots are being held captive)

    Sideways: Hello, Autobots. You have all been abducted for a reason.

    Generic Autobot: And that is?

    Sideways: You'll all be infused with this: Dark Angolmois. You'll all be made into Unicron's undying slaves. For example...

    (He infuses the substance into the generic, turning them into a Terrorcon)

    Terrorcon: Kill... kill....

    Sideways: No, my friend. There'll be time to kill later.

    Beachcomber: Cliffjumper, what do we do?!

    Sideways: It seems our friend here doesn't know when to keep quiet. (He produces another Dark Angolmois orb thing) Time to teach him a lesson, don't you think?

    (Cliffjumper breaks free from his restraints and lunges at Sideways, shoving the Dark Angolmois into his face. However, this only serves to upgrade Sideways into a larger, spikier body)

    Sideways: You fool! You've only prolonged your deaths!

    (Back on Cybertron, in Kaon)

    Soundwave: Lord Megastorm, Laserbeak has picked up a Decepticon signature here in Kaon.

    Megastorm: And do you know who it is?

    Soundwave: Shockwave.

    (And like the devil, Shockers shows up)

    Shockwave: Hello, Megastorm. I'm quite interested to see how your plan works out....

    (Back with the Elite Guard, Thunderwing is blasting the Autobots to bits)

    Ironfist: This is bad.

    Thunder Clash: You think?

    Kup: Y'know, this reminds me of-- (He gets cut off by an Autobot being blasted away) Autobots, retreat!

    (The Autobots transform and flee, while Thunderwing chases after them)

    Nova Prime: Monstructor, while our friends are busy... why don't we finish our plan?

    (Meanwhile, on Animatron)

    Cheetor: Uh, guys... you should come see this.

    Leo Prime: This is bad.

    Rattrap: Very.

    (We see Nemesis Prime standing before a horde of Predacons)

    Nemesis Prime: Predacons! Today, we shall hunt down those rebel Maximals and rule this world! And I swear, soon, the only Prime you shall answer to... will be me!

    Cheetor: What do we do, Leo?

    Leo Prime: Let them find us. [what a sound plan /s]

    (Back on Cybertron)

    Bumblebee: Rodimus, why do we need to get back to Iacon?

    Rodimus Prime: I'll explain later. Just go! (They then run into the Elite Guard) Thunder Clash?

    Thunder Clash: Rodimus Prime? But--

    Kup: Less talkin', more fleein'!

    Blurr: (talking really fast) Zombie Decepticon just won't leave us alone no he won't!

    (Thunderwing transforms and lands, looking really ticked)

    Blurr: Uh oh.

    Kup: Run for it, lad!

    Thunderwing: (starts shooting away) There's no point in fleeing, Autobots! You'll all die eventually!

    (Suddenly, the Aerialbots show up and shoot Thunderwing's eye out!)

    Silverbolt: Miss us? [...no?]

    Kup: About time you showed up!

    Air Raid: We just love being late, right, Slingshot?

    Slingshot: Shut up, Air Raid. [boy i sure missed these guys no i didn't]

    Thunderwing: I will kill you, Autobots! All of you!

    (Then Silverbolt shoots his head off and kills him)

    Rodimus Prime: Well... he's taken care of. [very perceptive]

    (Back in Kaon)

    Megastorm: So what do you want?

    Shockwave: I'm here to propose an alliance. Obviously, I can not make it on my own.

    Megastorm: And what use would you serve me?

    Shockwave: I believe this may interest you.... I've prepared a series of space bridges to be placed on Earth... and I'll need help getting them there.
