MAYHEM AND DESTRUCTION
BLUDGEON: At first, we were many. Now we are only six. At first, we were called Megatron's best. But now we are little more than a sub-group. At first, we were known as Squadron X. But now we are the Mayhem Attack Squad. With Megatron gone, I think it's by time that we retake the spotlight. And a certain warlord has given us that opportunity.
(Cybertron, Polyhex. Straxus meets with Gigatron and Zardak, who are calling in via hologram)
ZARDAK: You're leaving, Straxus?
STRAXUS: I am afraid so, Zardak. With Megatron himself captured, I no longer feel sage in my house of cards...
ZARDAK: But the opportunity on taking over is ripe! You can seize the throne and take over the Decepticon Empire!
STRAXUS: And have warlords like you try to overthrow me? No, thank you.
GIGATRON: Well then, who will be in charge of Polyhex while you are gone?
STRAXUS: Well, Gigatron, you are certainly more than welcome to have it back... (Bludgeon enters and poses menacingly) if you want to fight for it.
(In space, the Xantium travels through hyperspace)
IRONFIST: Man, this ships is so cool! Look! Schematics from the Battle of Chaar! When Impactor kicked Team Chaar's butts! The X12 Scrapmaker! Roadbuster's favorite weapon! IMPACTOR'S HARPOON GUN!
ROTORSTORM: You know this guy?
SCATTORSHOT: Nope.
ROADBUSTER: You sure do know a lot about the Wreckers, kid.
IRONFIST: Er, yes, sir.
ROADBUSTER: Please, just call me Roadbuster. Yup, the Battle of Chaar. First time I actually used the Scrapmaker. If I knew the 'bot who built that, I would definitely make him a Wrecker.
IRONFIST: Well, actually--
BULKHEAD: Hey, Roadbuster! Tell us how you guys won Archa Nine!
ROADBUSTER: Oh, that's a classic! You should've seen the looks on those 'Cons faces!
IRONFIST: *sigh*
(Cybertron, Bludgeon continues to monologue)
BLUDGEON: When anyone - whether they're Decepticon or Autobot - hear the name Thunderwing, they think of only one thing: Chaos. Everywhere he and Squadron X went, destruction followed. Planets fell behind us. Autobots fled in terror. The war was in our favor. Until Thunderwing fell at Pova. Over the following years, our success began to decline... and now our glorious leader is awaiting execution. This is our moment; to bring back Squadron X and bring back the destruction that gave us victory. So... who's with me?
(The Xantium...)
TOPSPIN: Springer? I think you should come see this. There's some disruption occurring in our hyperspace lanes. I think it's altering our--
SFX: THWOOM!
SPRINGER: What the--?!
SFX: SHWOOM!
TOPSPIN: Something pulled us out of hyperspace!
SPRINGER: I think that's the reason...
???: Cybertron? What's going on?! And why are we stuck in a tractor beam?!
IRONFIST: This is so Star Wars.
TOPSPIN: I've lost control of the ship! We're being pulled in!
???: Thank you, Captain Obvious...
SPRINGER: Alright Wreckers, gear up. I highly doubt this is the Cybertron we know.
???: Well, it certainly looks like Cybertron...
SPRINGER: Arcee, scout out.
ARCEE: Right.
(She transforms and drives around, until she encounters someone looking like Starscream, only in his Shattered Glass colors...)
STARSCREAM (SG): Wait!
ARCEE: Huh?! Starscream?!
STARSCREAM (SG): No, wait! It's me! Jet--! (He gets zapped in the back) AGGH!
NIGHTBEAT (SG): Good job there, partner.
ARCEE: Nightbeat?
NIGHTBEAT (SG): N'yeah. C'mon, let's get him locked up.
ARCEE: But... the Wreckers and I--
NIGHTBEAT (SG): I ain't buyin' none of your excuses.
ARCEE: Springer... we have a problem.
SPRINGER: Crud.
(Meanwhile)
FLATLINE: Your shuttle awaits, Lord Straxus.
STRAXUS: Excellent, Flatline. Is Shockblast onboard?
FLATLINE: Yes, my lord... Don't worry. He won't be going anywhere.
STRAXUS: Excellent work. Let's go.
(As the ship takes off, Flatline spots an explosion outside)
FLATLINE: L-Lord Straxus! I saw--
STRAXUS: Ignore it. It's just your imagination.
(As he says this, Bludgeon and his forces move in...)
