CORRUPTED DYNASTY, PART 1
(The Autobots all stare in shock as the traitorous Rodimus Prime looms over the dying Armorfist)
Armorfist: Rodimus... you... you can't have joined the Decepticons.
Rodimus Prime: I already have. (He takes out Armorfist's eye, causing Skids (who's... never shown up until now) to attack)
Skids: No!
Rodimus Prime: Ah, Skids. (He blasts off his arm) I'm truly sorry it must end like this.
Optimus Minor: It doesn't need to.
Rodimus Prime: Really? What else did you have in mind? Shockwave has a plan that'll surely bring an end to Unicron and this war.
Optimus Minor: And how does killing your fellow Autobots solve this?
Rodimus Prime: We mustn't have any witnesses. (He then blasts a hole in the base) Now for that space bridge. (Armorfists lunges at him only to be blown away for good) I never did like your type. And now that I have what I need. (He transforms and drives off) So long, brothers. [so uh about that "no witnesses" part...]
Optimus Minor: Armorfist... I'm sorry.
Blurr: With Rodimus gone, there's no hope, no hope at all.
Optimus Minor: I'm sorry, father... I'm sorry I've failed you.
(After a brief, pointless flashback to "Baby Optimus", we find the Decepticons at their camp)
Megastorm: The Dread have not returned yet, Shockwave. I thought Rodimus Prime would be here by now.
Shockwave: He is coming, Megastorm.
Rodimus Prime: I'm already here. The others got in the way. And unfortunately, your Dreads didn't make it.
Shockwave: Welcome, Rodimus Prime.
Megastorm: Wait, he's actually working with us?! Willingly?!
Shockwave: Yes. I had found out Rodimus Prime survived when he teleported on Cybertron. We made a truce and a deal so we could save Cybertron. [I'm not quite clear when this would've taken place since we just saw Shockwave moping around after or just before Rodimus showed up]
Rodimus Prime: And now the time has come. (He joins the space bridge with the others) The circle is now complete. The process will take a while, but so long as the Autobots do not interfere... Cybertron shall be ours.
(Elsewhere in space, we find Nova Prime monologing. Ho boy)
Nova Prime: What legacy did I leave behind when I left Cybertron? How did my successor, Zeta Prime -- these days known as Nominus -- turn Cybertron into what it is now?
Alpha Prime, of course, was perhaps the greatest, for without him, none of us would be here.
Virtus Prime was believed by many to have been Prima's son. His death left Cybertron in disarray.
Galaxy Prime attempted to bring our society back together, but failed to do so.
It wasn't until Guardian Prime became our leader did a new age of peace reach Cybertron. Alas, it was doomed to end eventually.
When the Destrons struck, it was I who defeated them. I then left Cybertron to carry out my plan.
It all makes sense... as the Primes went on after my leave, they became more corrupt, with only Optimus as an exception [aw he really does like him] but even he didn't see what was needed.
Thus it's up to me to bring back peace to Cybertron... or else we're all doomed!
(Back on Earth, the Autobots mourn over Armorfist)
Wheeljack: I still can't find the Wreckers' signal.
Prowl: Keep trying, Wheeljack. They must be somewhere out there.
Optimus Minor: Why couldn't I save him...?
Prowl: It's not your fault, Optimus. You didn't know Rodimus would turn. Besides, we need a leader now...
Optimus Minor: I'm sure you'd be a great one.
Prowl: Heh. I only fill in sometimes. No, you're the leader we need.
Optimus Minor: But--
Prowl: Who lead Team Orion to Velocitron and Earth? Who helped defeat Shockwave in that alternate universe? [I'm sure anyone could've done those things] We need you, Optimus. You're our last hope. [but what do i know]
(Within Unicron, Starscream tries to find a way to escape while Alpha Q taunts him. He eventually blasts his way out and flies over to Earth, where he follows the space bridge beam to the Decepticon camp)
Starscream: Oh. Hello, Shockwave.
Shockwave: Greetings, Starscream.
Cyclonus: Starscream! You betrayed us and Megatron! (He lunges only to be socked in the face)
Starscream: Yes, I did. But that was years ago, and besides, Megatron's dead. Can't we forgive and forget?
Shockwave: While I doubt Cyclonus will forgive you, I never truly cared about Megatron either.
Starscream: I take it then I'm with you lame'os again....
(Meanwhile, the Wreckers are driving around)
Springer: See anything, Whirl?
Whirl: Nothing yet... wait, I'm picking up Decepticon signatures. It's Bludgeon!
Bludgeon: Well, Banzai-Tron, I think it's time you made yourself useful.
Banzai-Tron: Prepare to meet your fate, Autobots!
Roadbuster: Bring it, Decepti-Punk!
Banzai-Tron: With pleasure-- (then he gets shot in the face!)
???: Gee, of all the cheesy exchanges... that was pretty lame.
(Oh hey it's Drift, Arcee, and uh Road Rocket. Um... yay?)
