The Transformers, Issue 83: Final Conflict, Chapter Ten

ARMAGEDDON, PART 1: COMMENCE ARMAGEDDON
    (On Earth, countless hordes of Decepticon warships are emerging from the space bridge while Megastorm rallies them in a voice-over).

    Megastorm: Decepticons! The time has come! We outnumber the Autobots! Our victory is assured! At last we shall have revenge for all of our defeats! Decepticons, ATTACK!

    (Meanwhile, the Autobots are watching the 'Cons arrive with apprehension)

    Bumblebee: This doesn't look good.

    Wheeljack: Bumblebee... you're a pro at understatement.

    (On one of the warships)

    Needlenose: Straxus, a group of Autobots have been detected!

    Straxus: Destroy them!

    (The warship fires on them, only for Optimus Minor -- now Orion Pax -- to fly in and destroy Straxus and his vessel)

    Wheeljack: No way.

    Bumblebee and Sideswipe: Wicked.

    Ratchet: Amazing.

    Wheeljack: Optimus?! Where are the Guardians?

    Orion Pax: They aren't coming. But they did give me an upgrade.

    Wheeljack: Obviously.

    Bumblebee: Sweet. So what do we do?

    Orion Pax: We need to infiltrate the 'Cons' camp. Wheeljack, can you fix that ship?

    Wheeljack: Eh, I'd need some help.

    Orion Pax: Grapple, Huffer, are you nearby? [i didn't even realized they still existed]

    Grapple: Yes, Optimus. What's the problem?

    Orion Pax: We're gonna need help getting a 'Con ship fixed up.

    Grapple: We're on it, sir.

    Bumblebee: All right, 'sir!'

    Orion Pax: Shut up.

    (At the Decepticon camp)

    Fistfight: Twenty cycles left.

    Shockwave: Excellent. This is the future I promised you, Rodimus. Now we can rebuild Cybertron in our image.

    Rodimus Prime: Remember, Shockwave, that I'm only working with you, not for you.

    Shockwave: Oh, I understand, Rodimus Prime. I understand completely.

    (Meanwhile, the Autobots are approaching the 'Cons' camp)

    Orion Pax: Be on your guard, Autobots! I see Decepticons up ahead!

    Soundwave: Flywheels, eliminate them.

    (Flywheels splits up into his two alt modes and attacks Orion)

    Orion Pax: You guys never learn, do you?

    Flywheels: We don't need to! We just know you guys need to-- (Sideswipe stabs Flywheels' tank component) --die. (Sideswipe then finishes off the tank while Jetfire destroys the jet. Cue sad trombone)

    Orion Pax: Thanks, Jetfire. How's that ship going, Wheeljack?

    Wheeljack: It's ready to fly! 'Bee, can you fly it?

    Bumblebee: Eh... maybe.

    Mirage: 'Maybe?'

    Bumblebee: Shut up, Mirage. Let's drop it on 'em!

    (And so the battle begins! Hold on to your hats everyone! It's gonna be epic! [citation needed])

    (Meanwhile, the Wreckers are having troubles of their own)

    Roadbuster: That's some war goin' on out there.

    Drift: (nearly gets blown up) Whoa! You think?!

    Springer: All right, Wreckers! Time to wreck and rule!

    Clench: Ransack, take out that green one!

    Ransack: With pleasure! Heh-heh! (He transforms and gets cut in half by Springer. Sad trombone)

    Clench: Keep shooting! Keep shooting til they're all dead!

    (Springer gets shot down)

    Roadbuster: Springer!

    Clench: I don't see why you can't simply surrender, or beg for mercy. It makes this more amusing.

    Roadbuster: We'll see who's laughing!

    (Clench shoots him in the face. Whirl comes in and attacks Clench, only to be stabbed by Space Case's trident. Roadbuster then comes guns ablaze)

    Space Case: I'm outta here!

    Clench: What?! Get back here!

    Roadbuster: Aww, did yer buddy leave ya?

    Clench: Perhaps the same way your buddy will leave you.

    Whirl: Roadbuster... wreck and rule....

    Clench: What's the matter? Scared? Scared of-- (Roadbuster blows his head off. Sad tromb- you get it already)

    Whirl: Well... I always seem to end up this way.

    Roadbuster: It's only the second time.

    Whirl: Third. Remember Veras Minor?

    Roadbuster: Oh... yeah.

    Whirl: But this time... I'm not going to make it. R-rock on, bro? 

    Roadbuster: Rock on, bro. (They brofist. Then Whirl dies. Okay, sad trombone for real)

    Springer: Sandstorm... I want you to find a safe place to put him.

    Sandstorm: Got it....

    (Elsewhere, the Nemesis arrives on the scene... and transforms into Trypticon)

    Trypticon: Total victory... requires... TOTAL DESTRUCTION! [snap son]
