Preface:
The Great War could only end when its components were completely eradicated. The battle between Decepticon and Autobot was long thought to be the cause for this calamity, and therefore as Megatron was destroyed and the autobots returned to claim Cybertron and its two moons, it was thought that this would bring peace to the galaxy once again.
However, it was the rise of Galvatron to the leadership of the Decepticons through their inhabitance of the planet char that caused this trouble to continue, and the war to rage. Upon my return to leadership of the Autobots I had noticed many changes. The army that I had once known and commanded was not what I had remembered, the original warriors that had fought by my side for so long were eliminated amongst the climax and now I claim to lead this army, of whom I know very little.
Though my army is tattered and unfamiliar, we still wield a strength of greater numbers, and though the Decepticon remnants are far less threatening than they once were, we daren't launch a full assault for there is cause for greater concern. A danger which I cannot allow to be exposed or the threat it causes will become imminent.
We are dying.
Autobots. Decepticons. We face extinction, whether we survive this war or not.
