Prologue

Cybertron, the metal home world of a race of intelligent mechanical beings. The beings that call Cybertron home are Cybertronians. And for millions of years, a civil war has raged. Between the Autobots, who fight for peace and freedom, and the Decepticons, who fight for tyranny and order.

After four million years of conflict, the war has taken its toll. Their planets very core is failing, and unless they can find a source of energy to sustain themselves, their entire existence is threatened.

The Decepticons intend to get the energy they require by any means necessary. And with it, crush the Autobots into oblivion.

The Decepticons have always held the advantage of superior technology, and with it they construct a starship. With which they intend to travel through the stars to find an energy rich planet.

Through a spy in the Decepticons ranks, the Autobots catch wind of their plans, and secretly construct a starship for themselves in order to follow the Decepticons.

Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, assembles his lieutenants for the mission. Starscream, his ambitious air commander, Shockwave, his logic driven scientist, and his most loyal officer, Soundwave.

To ensure that Cybertron is to remain under Decepticon control, Megatron leaves his other Lieutenants Straxus and Scorponok tasked with ruling Cybertron till they return.

They depart as soon as they finish the ship, The Nemesis. With a large army of Vehicons in tow. The Autobots construction of their ship, The Ark, takes more time due the lack of resources.

So the Decepticons get off to a good several light year head start. The Autobots leave as soon as they finish, with a similar army in tow and leaving behind a good majority of their forces in order to fight on Cybertron.

And where do the Decepticons intend to get the energy? Shockwave has discovered a certain planet. One that he believes will able to suit all the Decepticons needs... And more.

The Nemesis eventually reaches its target. And Megatron observes it from the bridge of the Nemesis.

"So this is the planet you speak so highly of Shockwave?" He asked the scientist.

"Yes, my liege." The cyclops replied in his cold emotionless voice.

"Looks like nothing but an insignificant muck ball to me." Said Starscream, clearly unconvinced of the planets value. "We've seen plenty of other planets like this, what makes this one so special?"

"Your optics deceive you Starscream." Replied Shockwave, "If you'd care to observe." He walked of to a console and pressed a few buttons. A hologram of the planet then pops up in the center of the bridge for all to observe. It shows glowing parts all over the planet.

"As you can see, the world is primitive but rich with raw energy." Explained Shockwave, "It seems to be all over the planet, and is most concentrated on the planets Northern and Southern Hemispheres."

"And look at the energy readings," added Starscream, "off the scale."

"Not only that," continued Shockwave, "but it seems that the energy supply of this planet could be quite possibly be limitless."

Megatron was most pleased at this concept. "Just imagine it, all that raw power in my control." He said as he reached for the hologram causing it to shrink till it was fitting in the palm of his hand. "With it, I will crush the Autobots, end the linage of Primes, rule Cybertron, and quite possibly the entire Galaxy."

"There is one small thing." Interjected Shockwave. "Based off the composition of the planets atmosphere, I believe it is quite possible that sentient carbon-based life lives on the planets surface."

"Such things are not of concern to the Decepticons, Shockwave." Said Megatron. "Though out of curiosity. Soundwave."

Soundwave stepped forward, having remained silent during the whole conversation. He was much more a listening type.

"Send out your scouts, Soundwave." Ordered Megatron. "Let us just see what waits for us on the surface of this world."

Soundwave nodded and pressed a button on his shoulder. "Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, eject. Operation: Planetary Recon." He ordered in a digitalized voice, making him sound as cold as Shockwave.

The three minions ejected from Soundwave's chest cavity and headed out towards the planet.

They hovered over the largest continent of the world. Scanning from high above in the atmosphere. They then swooped down lower into the locations in order to get a closer look things, stealthily scanning from their selected perches. They were all masters at surveillance. The eventually returned to their master and relayed their findings.

"The architecture of these cities are impressive to say the most." Observed Shockwave. "But based on that and the various other technologies the natives seem to use. It stands to reason that they don't even know that life exists outside their own world."

"Making them all more insignificant." Said Starscream. "We could crush them easily."

"To that Starscream, I agree." Replied Megatron.

"This in particular city seems to be of significance to this world." Observed Soundwave as he pulled up the image of a city with a large statue on its outskirts. "It seems to be among the most significant the planet. It also seems to above a deposit of energy."

"And this one," Starscream pointed out a larger city, divided into sections by massive walls. "It would make an impressive fortress for our base of operations." He suggested. "With advancements of course." He smirked.

"So it is agreed then." Said Megatron. "We will attack these two cities and show this planet that a new power that dominates their world." Megatron still holds the hologram in his hand and looks at it, ambition in his optics. "A world that belongs to Megatron." And with that he crushed the hologram in hand before smiling deviously.

I decided to try my hand at this due it being a constant imagined crossover in my head and reading an actual one gave the push to do this. Reviews are encouraged, I love seeing people's opinions.

And if you don't like the title, I'm open to suggestions. I had a hard time coming up with a title without using the word Legend or Legends again.
