Transformers: Blighted

Chapter One: Unibridge

Primax 318.29 Gamma.

A useless universe...just another Primax branch. It's universe, while slightly differing from the formula, could never stand out in the crowd. Except...it was destined for an unknown purpose...an almighty figure had plans for this one...

On Primax 318.29's Cybertron, the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons ravaged the planet. But, Wheeljack, an Autobot scientist created a Uni-Bridge. It was like a Space Bridge for universes...although a prototype, Wheeljack had confidence in his work. With this discovery, the Autobots of Primax 318.29 (or the survivors, consisting of Wheeljack and Optimus) tried to find a new home...

But, sadly...before the Uni-Bridge was activated, Autobot HQ was attacked.

KABOOM! A large explosion blown a hole into the wall of the Autobot stronghold. The evil Megatron stepped in.

"They're here! The Uni-Bridge is ready, Optimus!" Wheeljack shouted at Optimus.

"Optimus! This has been a long time coming!" He yelled. He had a dark, imposing figure with a massive cannon on the side of his arm.

"Goodbye, Megatron," Optimus replied. No Peter Cullen raspy voice here - this Optimus had a touch of youth and he didn't have his large and bold stature. He was a smaller guy, still tall for a Cybertronian, but not as tall as Megatron.

"Don't 'Goodbye' me, Orion! Let me savor this moment...of your defeat!"

Optimus let out a sigh. Megatron didn't change, did he. "I'm afraid you don't understand."

He pulled a switch and the Uni-Bridge activated. Megatron let out a cheesy 'NO!' before he was dropped in IDW's Dead Universe.

"Woah...Wheeljack, where did you put him?!" Optimus asked in shock. Wheeljack smiled under his faceplate. "Somewhere just as cold as he is."

Wheeljack recalibrated the machine and set the course for a new universe as the Decepticon forces finally busted in.

Their destination? Robin 944.25 Kappa.

Optimus (Don't call him a prime, mind you. He doesn't like that. His Matrix only gave him flamethrowers and a bit of armor. You see, he didn't open it all the way, because he wasn't exactly worthy. It wanted Zeta Prime, not this lowly Orion Pax) stepped out of the portal. Wheeljack's portable Uni-Bridge summoner beeped. The portal closed, and the Decepticons were lost to the wind.

Wheeljack looked around, and they appeared to be in a jungle-like area.

Suddenly, a large Pig Megatron rolled from behind and shot at Optimus. It missed, and Optimus countered with his flamethrower and a cheesy comeback : "I'll turn you into bacon!"

"Bacon?" Wheeljack asked as the newly fried pig ran away screaming.

"Oh, just roasted Earth pigs. You remember Earth? Big ol' blue planet?" Optkmus asked, and Wheeljack nodded back. But then, the whirr of motors filled the air. It appeared to be robots! Wheeljack activated the Uni-Bridge and they ran in.

But do you remember when I said it was a prototype?

Well, it is. And that means bugs. Lots of them.

Optimus and Wheeljack were separated, with Optimus falling into a odd patchwork universe.

Primax 984.17 Alpha had merged with Primax -408.24 Epsilon under the demands of an unseen player in all this...
