Optimus Prime and Megatron.
From the beginning, it had always been about them.
They both had their allies yes, heroes and villains on both the Autobot and Decepticon sides.
But the war, the bloody war that overtook Cybertron, that destroyed the entire planet in a fiery apocalypse, was their fault and their fault alone.
And Shockwave knew that they had to pay from their crimes.
It was only logical after all.
So he took matters into his own hands. He was always good at that. He launched the Allspark into space, forcing Megatron to chase it down and forcing Optimus to follow him. In doing so, both had been damned to perish on Earth. To perish fighting.
Would they bring doom to that planet as well? Shockwave could only wonder...
But it was of no importance to him now. The war criminals that had waged the civil war that consumed Cybertron had been disposed of, and the planet was left in his control. To build his kingdom. A kingdom free of war and struggle. A kingdom built on stability. Built on peace.
And maybe one day, Cybertron would finally be rebuilt, its people were united, no longer separated by Autobot and Decepticon ties, prepared to die for their planet. For Shockwave, their king.
On that day, perhaps he would lead his people to Earth, where they would expand their horizons by wiping out the pathetic meatbags that scourge the planet, and Shockwave would personally finish Optimus and Megatron himself.
But no matter when this day came, he would have his kingdom.
And Optimus and Megatron would pay for their crimes against Cybertron, his home.
Because it was only logical after all.
And logic brings all things to order.
