The Transformers, Issue 84: Final Conflict, Chapter Eleven

ARMAGEDDON, PART 2: TRYPTICON'S RAMPAGE
    (As per the title, Trypticon is on the rampage, destroying stuff)

    Megastorm: What is that?

    Shockwave: Our greatest weapon. Before the Nemesis took off, Megatron had me install a failsafe code. If the first program was to fail, the Trypticon program would activate.

    Megastorm: And you didn't tell me?

    Shockwave: You didn't ask, my lord. [savage]

    (Meanwhile, the Autobots fly their stolen 'Con warship towards Trypticon)

    Wheeljack: I do hope you can fly this thing, 'Bee!

    Bumblebee: Don't worry, Wheeljack! When have I ever let out down?

    (They then get shot down and crash)

    Wheeljack: Take now for instance...

    (Meanwhile, Orion Pax is flying overhead, being chase by warships)

    Springer: (over comm) This is Springer! Does anyone copy?

    Orion Pax: I copy, Springer. Are the Wreckers with you?

    Springer: You bet! What do you need us to do? [i mean, you called first]

    Orion Pax: Well, for starters, you can take down those space bridges!

    Roadbuster: I'm on it!

    Springer: Arcee, I want you to snipe from that building. Drift, you're with me. Roll out!

    (While Springer and Drift drive off, Arcee takes position on top of a building and takes aim on one of the space bridges... only for Starscream to fly up in front of her)

    Starscream: And just what do you think you're doing? 

    (He fires at Arcee, only for her to drive off. Springer then flies up and shoots him down)

    Starscream: You wanna play rough, eh, Autobot? Fine by me. (He fires and misses again, and then Springer slices off his arm) WHY YOU WASTED PIECE OF TRASH! (He lunges again and gets his other arm sliced off) 'Tis but a metal wound. (Springer then flies off) Get back here! Can you at least give me a hand? (He then discovers his undocumented-until-now-Deadpool-ability to reattach his limbs) Oh, I didn't know I could do that!

    [...no comment]

    (Meanwhile, Bumblebee and co. have been rounded up by Soundwave and the Decepticons)

    Soundwave: Lord Megastorm, we have captured five Autobots. What shall we do with them?

    Megastorm: Kill them all, Soundwave. We must have no prisoners.... only trophies.

    Soundwave: Understood, Lord Megastorm. Reflector, kill the blue one.

    (Reflector proceeds to grab Mirage)

    Mirage: Hey, watch it, buddy! I'm tougher than I-- (he gets his head blown off. rip)

    Wheeljack: MIRAGE!

    Soundwave: Kill the yellow one.

    Bumblebee: No! Help! Please!

    Reflector: Ready to join your friend? Goodbye, Autobrat! (He then gets blown up by Jetfire. rips)

    Bumblebee: Jetfire!

    Jetfire: I got it handled here!

    Ratchet: Let's go!

    (The Autobots drive off, only for Soundwave to attack Bumblebee)

    Soundwave: You're not going anywhere!

    (They fight, and then Laserbeak joins in, but then Bumblebee shoots Laserbeak down and his wing stabs Soundwave's eye, allowing Bumblebee to finish them both off)

    (Rest in pepperonis)

    Trypticon: DIE, AUTOBOTS! FEAR THE WRATH OF TRYPTICON!

    Jazz: Man, this is one big 'Con!

    Kup: Y'know, this reminds me of--

    Jazz: Save it, Kup!

    (Suddenly, the ground shakes!)

    Sunstreaker: Eh?

    Skids: What's that?

    Jazz: Holy Allspark.

    (Omega Maximus has arrived)

    Orion Pax: Trypticon is distracted. The 'Cons are scattered. It's just you and me, Megastorm. IT'S TIME TO END THIS!

    To be continued [it's so on]
