Chapter 3: Attack
Almost immediately, I found myself catapulted to the Autobot spaceship.
Right. Dramatic conventions.
Based on what went down with the 'Cons, I had determined that nobody could perceive me. So naturally, I decided to exploit this and explore the place.
Yep, it's just like the show.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed through the hallways.
Damnit.
I looked up and saw a colossal robotic Tyrannosaurus looming overhead.
"Me Grimlock am going to see if him Optimus are back yet." the thing muttered.
Just then, the roar of a rocket motor filled the air.
"That him Optimus!"
Unfortunately for the poor Dinobot, it wasn't Optimus Prime who had shown up.
"Laserbeak, Rumble, deploy. Operation: First Strike."
"Me Grimlock smash you Soundwave!"
"Not likely. Decepticons have element of surprise. You have only scout forces."
"Us Dinobots here! And him Blurr and him Hound here too!"
Soundwave broke out into a tinny guffaw.
"You Blurr! You Hound! Come out! Him Soundwave waiting outside so that his brains can get bashed!"
As if on cue, a blue streak zipped out of the ship.
"Soundwave oh Primus we're doomed!"
"Doomed you are!" a deep booming voice announced.
Blurr looked up and saw Bruticus towering above him.
"Now, what's all the noise about?" another voice muttered.
Hound dragged himself out, and I swear that he did a double take upon seeing the two Decepticon heavy hitters.
Okay, Primus. What do you want me to do now?
Just then, I got an idea.
Suddenly, Rodimus Prime appears-
Before I had even finished typing out the word "Rodimus", the universe went loopy.
"You idiot! Because the movie never happened, Hot Rod never became Rodimus Prime! You've created a temporal paradox, writer!" Primus bellowed.
So what?
"Now, the barriers between the continuities are breaking down!"
Before I could say anything witty in response, my brain was bombarded with images of what was to come of the glorified toy commercial I used to write for, and a great big vortex opened up.
"Primus, you got any cosmic White-Out or something?"
As if on cue, a bottle of the wonderful substance appeared at my side. The offending passage soon disappeared, and the vortex disappeared.
"So now what?"
"Thanks to your hubris, the lines between G1, various fan continuities, and Animated have been blurred. Already, characters from these have crossed over into this continuity."
I slumped into a conveniently-placed chair.
"But what do-"
"Just go with it. I'll just alter everyone's memories to keep this stable…"
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
The whole temporal paradox incident is just an excuse for me to use characters from other continuities, both canon and fan-created.
