Transformers Dark Of The Moon: Cuervosplicer's Birthright

by bigvic150

In the three years since the death of The Fallen Prime, the war between Autobots and Decepticons gets closer to ending. And with Harold Attinger and his Cemetery Wind organization dismantled, along with Sentinel Prime still an Autobot, Cuervosplicer is getting closer to finishing his duty as Guardian of the Allspark Cube. Rated T for the usual. Dylan Gould is already dead.

4. Hidden Volcanic Base

Transformers Dark Of The Moon: Cuervosplicer's Birthright.

Chapter 4: Hidden Volcanic Base.

(Author's notes: In this chapter, there'll be clones of the various Autobot Soldiers, Omnibot Warriors, and so forth guarding the island so as to buy Cuervosplicer time to get the data and the MechTech weaponry to the undisclosed location of Autobot Headquarters for temporary safekeeping. The reason for that is because Cuervosplicer is, once again, putting his foreknowledge to good use. BUT here's a twist: just about after Soundwave and Laserbeak leave the island, Cuervosplicer will secretly use his Physical Restoration power, his Temporal Rewinding power, and his Divine Resurrection ability to restore Wheeljack's testing laboratory and the island base, in addition to reviving the N.E.S.T soldiers from certain death. BUT the clones will not be revived, as they already outlived their usefulness.

Enjoy chapter 4.)

As Optimus and Ratchet watch the ship launched from the Mayan temple leave Earth's atmosphere, Optimus asks his most trusted medic, "Ratchet, what is that ship's heading?"

Ratchet answers, "Its velocity and trajectory indicates somewhere off-world."

Ratchet analyzes the data and continues, "It appears that it's going to the dark side of the Earth's moon to contact more Decepticons. Hold on, I'm detecting an anomaly at the Decepticon satellite base."

Meanwhile, Megatron calls out, "Soundwave! Detach yourself from the satellite base. Cut all satellite feeds from the base."

Soundwave does as he's told, switches to his jet mode and flies off.

Of course, even Megatron was unaware that Cuervosplicer had the Autobots using the International Space Station to monitor Decepticon activity since Soundwave's initial plan of hacking into the Space Station three years ago had failed.

Megatron continues, "The Autobots tapped your satellite transmissions, Soundwave. They know too much. We must work quickly. Make your way to these coordinates. I have discovered an island that once served as a secure Sector Seven data archive. The information stored there could jeopardize our moon operation, as well as the existence of our ally stored in cryostasis. Find this facility, and destroy it."

Soundwave lands on the island, switches to robot mode and scans an Acura MDX SUV for his new vehicle mode.

Megatron contacts Soundwave over the commlink and says, "Soundwave! Collect intelligence as you approach the island base. I want that moon landing information!"

Soundwave replies, "As you command."

Soundwave navigates through the island's first section before coming across a data post tower.

Soundwave states, "Megatron, I have discovered a human communications device."

Megatron replies, "Scan it! I must know EVERYTHING."

Soundwave links up with the data post.

A Sector Seven agent is heard in a tape recording as he says, "Journal 1616: We dug deep into the mountain today. The vault we'll be building for the super computer will be—"

But the tape recording is cut short as Soundwave disconnects and announces to himself, "Firewall encountered. Data transfer terminated."

Suddenly, Soundwave is besieged by a large group of Autobot clones resembling the various generic Autobot troops under Optimus Prime's command in the U.S.

Soundwave managed to plow through them, most especially thanks to his Ultrasonics ability.

Soundwave finishes and says on the commlink, "Megatron, Autobot resistance encountered and eliminated."

Megatron theorizes, "Optimus and Cuervosplicer have been busy. No matter. Destroy ALL Autobots that you encounter!"

Soundwave progresses through another section of the island and discovers a solid barrier.

But before Soundwave can get very far, he's attacked by another group of Autobot clones. But thankfully enough, Soundwave didn't bother to study the corpses of the Autobot clones.

Soundwave demolishes the Autobot clones, partially also thanks to his Stun ability, and comes across the aforementioned barrier.

Soundwave says to himself, "Primitive human technology. These fences are using modified harmonic frequencies to create a solid barrier. I can use my Ultrasonics to alter the frequency so it destroys itself."

Soundwave activates his Ultrasonics and passes through the destroyed barrier.

Upon jumping down a rocky ledge without taking damage, Soundwave discovers a second data post.

But before he can do anything, Soundwave is contacted by Megatron as he advises, "Soundwave! Hostiles approaching!"

Soundwave is attacked by a third large enough group of Autobot clones.

Despite the vastly superior numbers, Soundwave's Ultrasonics and Stun abilities enabled him to win.

Soundwave hooks up to the data post and the same Sector Seven agent says in the recording, "Journal 102: This facility is impenetrable from the outside. A person on the inside would have to open the door from—"

But the recording is interrupted because of another firewall.

Soundwave repeats the same statement, "Firewall encountered. Data transfer terminated."

Suddenly, Soundwave is attacked by an even larger group of Autobot clones from the other side of where he came.

Again, despite the vastly superior numbers, Soundwave's Ultrasonics, his Stun ability, his Assault Rifle and his Sonic Cannons enabled him to win.

Soundwave comes across another solid harmonic barrier, and uses his Ultrasonics to destroy the barrier.

While progressing towards the upward path provided by the rocky landscape, Soundwave contends with an Autobot Sniper Clone.

After defeating the Sniper Clone, Soundwave follows the mission marker to another section of the island.

Upon stumbling across a giant rock blocking his robot mode path, Soundwave changes to Stealth Force mode and passes the rock blocking his path.

After clearing the giant rock, Soundwave used his new Stealth Force mode to take out a fifth large group of Autobot clones. And this one was much bigger than the fourth group.

The fight gave Soundwave more damage than usual, but he managed to use his resources well – Assault Rifle, Sonic Cannons, Ultrasonics and Stun ability.

While following his mission marker, Soundwave comes across a path that leads him to an Autobot ambush.

One of the Autobot clones sneers, "You'll never get through here, Decepticon!"

But Soundwave manages to come out on top and prove the clones wrong.

Upon following the mission marker to another rock forcing him to switch to Stealth Force mode, Soundwave initiates Stealth Force mode again and passes through the crowding rock.

After switching back to robot mode, Soundwave comes across a path leading to a drop leading to a cave with an exit.

Soundwave drops into the cave and manages to leave the cave via the exit that was there.

While progressing even further, Soundwave finds an installation of Autobot clones with another harmonic barrier.

Soundwave destroys the clones and the barrier before progressing.

As he continues after destroying the barrier, Soundwave is attacked by more Autobot clones.

Soundwave easily smashes through them despite the limited space due to the amount of vegetation.

Soundwave continues on his way while making sure to avoid falling into the water below the island cliffs.

Soundwave eventually stumbles upon a collapsed tree with some branches blocking the impromptu access tunnel.

Soundwave shoots through the blockage, uses his Stealth Force mode to get through, and comes across the final data post.

Soundwave hooks up with the data post, and the same Sector Seven agent says in the journal recording, "Journal 630: I've moved all of the moon landing data tallied by Sector Seven and any references of EV2 deep inside the – the green room. Only people with proper clearance can –"

The journal entry is terminated because of the firewalls, but Soundwave got the location for the moon landing data he needed to retrieve.

Soundwave is then attacked by a sixth large group of Autobot clones, including a clone of an Omnibot Warrior carrying a minigun.

This sixth group of Autobot clones is much larger than the first five groups, and Soundwave gets heavily damaged.

Out of desperation, he uses his Sonic Cannons at full power, destroying the Autobot clones in rapid succession.

Soundwave rests for a bit with a few dropped Energon canisters to recharge his energy, repair his overloaded Sonic Cannons and heal his damages.

After recovering in less than ten seconds, Soundwave continues his trek and finds himself in the middle of stone grounds with lava streams.

Spotting a launching ramp made of stone, Soundwave transforms to his vehicle mode and uses his boosters to make the jump.

After making the jump, Soundwave spots a second impromptu ramp and makes a second successful boosted jump.

Then, much to his secret exasperation, Soundwave spots a third ramp.

Soundwave is forced to make a third successful boosted jump, and he does just that.

While navigating the volcanic grounds without falling into any lava, Soundwave contends with more Autobot clones.

After dealing with them, Soundwave navigates through more of the stone and lava grounds while making impromptu passageways to get to safety.

After having successfully navigated through the lava grounds and coming upon dry land again, Soundwave comes across a cave leading to the Sector Seven facility.

Upon coming across the entrance, Soundwave destroys the three Autobot clones and the turrets posted at the doors.

Soundwave stops at the doors and comments, "This N.E.S.T facility is crawling with humans and Autobots. I cannot enter directly. Laserbeak, eject."

Laserbeak deploys from Soundwave's chestplate and switches to his robot mode.

Laserbeak hovers in front of Soundwave by flapping his wings.

Soundwave says, "Laserbeak, enter the facility. We must complete our mission."

Soundwave switches to his vehicle mode and remains stationary as Laserbeak flies to a control panel.

Laserbeak scans the terminal with a virus and opens the doors that are big enough for only him to fit through.

As Laserbeak flies through the corridors at maximum speed, Soundwave contacts him and says, "Laserbeak, you will find your weaponry to be less effective against full-sized Autobots. Find glowing holographic objects in the base and assume their forms."

Laserbeak finds the first holographic object in the first room, and transforms into it.

Soundwave continues, "While hidden in your new form, you may target and stun multiple enemies. Now target and stun your enemy. Fire at will."

A clone of an Autobot Soldier comes into the room and faces the exit door to the left of where Laserbeak is.

Laserbeak fires his stun gun multiple times, changes back to his robot mode, and rams into the Autobot Soldier clone, completely taking him offline.

Laserbeak continues on his way to another open doorway, and starts flying at full speed.

Upon finding another access terminal and another locked door, Laserbeak hacks into the terminal to open the door, and he flies through the corridors.

Laserbeak stops before the end of the corridor, hearing some Autobot clones talking.

Laserbeak turns invisible as he quietly flies past the Autobot clones as one of them says, "You sure are working hard, moving all that stuff."

His companion replies, "It would go a lot faster with your help."

The other Autobot clone replies back, "Yeah, it would."

Their commander interjects sternly, "Your humor is ill-advised at this time."

Laserbeak stuns the three clones in the room and proceeds to use his Ramming and Whirlwind abilities to finish them off.

Laserbeak finds yet another access terminal and hacks, thereby allowing Laserbeak to have access to the next set of corridors.

Laserbeak flies through the corridors and enters a room with monitors and couches.

Soundwave contacts his remaining Mini-Con and says, "Laserbeak. My sensors indicate you have entered a facility that connects with the Sector Seven passageways. Their security protocols will no longer hinder or terminate the data streams. Scan everything to learn about the base so that we can destroy it."

Laserbeak follows his mission marker and finds the first data point in the entire facility.

Laserbeak scans the data point and a Sector Seven agent says in the recording, "Journal 545: It's been getting more difficult to work on the MechTech with some of the seismic activity lately. Those Volcanic Stabilizers need to be monitored more closely."

The recording ends, prompting Laserbeak to continue his flight throughout the facility.

Laserbeak flies to another section of the base that seems to be some sort of comfortable conference room/lounging area combined into one.

Before Laserbeak can leave the room, the front and back entrances close and two clones of the Autobot Rocket Troopers come out of the left and right entrances with one of them shouting, "Look out!"

The Rocket Troopers try to shoot down Laserbeak, only for him to come out on top thanks to his Burst Rifle, and his Ramming and Whirlwind abilities.

Laserbeak makes his way to the access terminal and hacks into it, allowing him access to the next room.

Laserbeak flies into the next room, finds a second data point and scans its contents.

A N.E.S.T agent is heard in the recording saying, "Journal 420: I worked in the control room of one of the Volcanic Stabilizers today. It's quite literally a smart bit of architecture, putting the controls on the second floor. Utilizing the super heat generated from the volcano will save a lot of time and energy, building all of the alloys we need. But if those computers have a serious hiccup, we're all gonna be swimming in hot lava."

The recording ends.

Laserbeak flies into the next room, and contends with small bird-like Autobot jet drones.

Laserbeak destroys them.

Laserbeak then progresses to the next room.

After avoiding a laser trap, Laserbeak destroys a shotgun turret.

Laserbeak spots an open doorway above him and flies through it.

Upon coming across a control room for the first Volcanic Stabilizer, Soundwave contacts Laserbeak and points out, "Laserbeak, my sensors indicate that you have located one of the Volcanic Stabilizers. Find a way to alter its harmonics so that I can destroy it."

An Autobot clone is heard saying, "Generator 2, dropping."

Laserbeak turns invisible once again, quietly stunning and ramming into Autobot clones while making sure to stay hidden so as to not raise an alarm.

Laserbeak finds the access terminal for the primary Volcanic Stabilizer and hacks it, altering its harmonics to render it vulnerable to Soundwave's Ultrasonics.

Before progressing, Laserbeak contends with more Autobot clones that were sent to intercept him and figure out what he did to the Volcanic Stabilizer.

Laserbeak deals with the Autobot clones and progresses to the next room after hacking into the next access terminal.

Laserbeak finally enters the next room and scans the next data point.

A female N.E.S.T agent whose voice sounds eerily similar to Mikaela Banes says in the recording, "Journal 451: Based on my analysis of the volcanic activity here, if just three of the Volcanic Stabilizers are taken offline, the magma chamber would swiftly build to an eruption. Everything would be destroyed. Let's hope that never happens."

The recording ends, and Laserbeak flies to the next room connected with the other one, only to contend with more Autobot clones.

Laserbeak deals with the clones and flies off to the next room.

Laserbeak finds out the next room is a storage room.

But the Decepticon Avianoid manages to find an open doorway leading to another room.

Laserbeak hacks the access terminal and finds himself in the room acting like a weapons manufacturing factory.

Laserbeak mentally realizes that this room is vital for creating MechTech weaponry, even though the Decepticon Avianoid didn't know about the MechTech weaponry just yet.

An Autobot clone sighs frustratedly as he says, "Hhhuuuggghhh. No, keep it going. The delivery mechanisms on these munition presses are still jammed. We'll need to run more diagnostics."

Laserbeak quietly takes out the Autobot clones stationed in the room before altering the harmonics of the second Volcanic Stabilizer.

Laserbeak follows his mission marker and opens the next door to another room interconnected with a second room.

Upon entering the second room, Laserbeak is fired upon by two shotgun sentry turrets.

Laserbeak destroys them with minimal effort.

Laserbeak immediately scans the next-to-last data point and the same female N.E.S.T agent says in the recording, "Journal 212: We've teamed up with the Autobots to construct MechTech weaponry! Their technology is astounding! Merging our guns with their innovations will prove invaluable for the military! But Cuervosplicer has warned us not to get too cocky, for our nations are not united and we could easily start a semi-nuclear and semi-alien technology-based World War III if we're not careful. Considering Cuervosplicer's intuition of the Decepticons' motives and tactics for over five years since the Transformers first renewed their civil war on Earth, I can confidently say that we'd be foolish and naive to not take Cuervosplicer at his word."

The recording ends and Laserbeak progresses to another corridor interconnected with a second corridor.

Upon entering the second corridor, Laserbeak finds a set of Autobot clones testing a security laser grid.

One of the clones announces, "Commence testing of the laser grid in 3, 2, 1."

The security laser grid activates and the lasers turn on and off, with one laser turning on, only to turn off for another laser to turn on. And this goes on unless the grid is deactivated for a booby trap or if it's permanently disabled.

While avoiding the lasers, Laserbeak quietly takes out the Autobot clones posted at the control center for the booby trap.

Laserbeak advances towards the only open entrance leading to the final data point.

Laserbeak takes care of the Autobot clones in the room and scans the last data point.

And the same woman sounding like Mikaela Banes says in the recording, "Journal 146: Although its great teaming up with the Autobots, I'm a bit nervous about having them here in this former Sector Seven data archive. I mean, keeping the Autobots in the dark about the information regarding the Lunar Landing in 1969 doesn't feel right, but nevertheless, we have to follow orders. Even if it means breaking the Autobots' trust and making ourselves targets of Optimus Prime's anger."

The recording ends as Laserbeak progresses again.

Laserbeak flies into the computer room and flies towards the end of it, where he hacks an access terminal and enters the next corridor leading to the Cooling Room.

Laserbeak progresses through a small corridor once again, but he manages to find the third Volcanic Stabilizer in the Cooling Room, guarded by Autobot clones.

Laserbeak quietly enters the room while activating his silent mode and his cloaking shield.

Laserbeak kills the Autobot clones in the room while making sure to avoid the cooling fluid, and then he proceeds to alter the harmonics of the third Volcanic Stabilizer.

Soundwave contacts Laserbeak and says, "Laserbeak, grant me access!

Laserbeak contends with more clones and drones, and accesses the final access terminal to open the doors for Soundwave.

Soundwave states, "Your mission is complete, Laserbeak. I will enter the base and finish what Megatron has laid before us."

Soundwave switches back to robot mode and walks forward, prompting the doors to open just as an Autobot clone opens fire on him.

Soundwave uses his Sonic Cannons, his Ultrasonics and his Stun ability to eliminate the initial deployment of Autobot clones.

While progressing through the first corridors of the base, Soundwave is attacked by more Autobot clones.

Soundwave deals with them in Stealth Force mode, using his Stealth Force Assault Rifle and Stealth Force Grenade Launchers.

After switching back to robot mode, Soundwave continues through the next corridor.

Suddenly, Soundwave is attacked by more Autobot clones.

Soundwave disposes of them immediately.

Soundwave comes across a room with three different doors leading to different rooms, with the first two on left and right turns being locked.

Soundwave is attacked by even more Autobot clones.

Soundwave deals with them and follows his mission marker to the next corridor leading to the room of the first Volcanic Stabilizer.

After contending with some more Autobot clones, Soundwave makes it to the first Volcanic Stabilizer.

Soundwave muses to himself, "I must use my Ultrasonics to destroy the outer metal shell of the Volcanic Stabilizer."

Soundwave uses his Ultrasonics to destroy the outer shell of the Volcanic Stabilizer, and shoots the inside of it, causing it to blow up.

A N.E.S.T operative says over the P.A., "Warning. Volcanic Stabilizer in Sector A is now offline. Tectonic load balance redistributed to remaining Stabilizers. System strain acceptable."

Soundwave progresses through another corridor, and manages to sneak to a high ledge where he hears some Autobot clones talking. And surprisingly, Soundwave still didn't know that all of these Autobot soldiers were just clones.

One of the clones asks his companion, "Hey, did you hear about the launch?"

His companion asks in response, "What launch?"

The first clone answers, "Just happened. At the Mayan temple in South America."

His companion remarks, "Something big is going down."

The first clone retorts, "Not on this rock."

His companion replies, "Famous last words."

The first clone replies back, "I'm just saying, we're always far away from the action."

His companion retorts, "Wouldn't be the case if Megatron knew about the MechTech weaponry being developed here. Be thankful he doesn't."

The first clone replies, "He doesn't, and he won't."

A third clone asks, "You know that Decepticon satellite base we tapped? Well, I heard it got blown up with the data irretrievable."

Soundwave jumps down and surprises the clones with his Ultrasonics and his Flak Grenades.

Soundwave progresses through the next corridors and finds himself in the same room that Laserbeak was in: the one producing the munitions for the MechTech weaponry. But this room doesn't have the second Volcanic Stabilizer.

Soundwave theorizes, "This machinery appears to be vital in creating the MechTech weaponry. The volcanic eruption I'm facilitating will destroy their progress."

Soundwave gets past the machinery without getting crushed, and proceeds through another corridor.

Soundwave progresses through a cell bar-style platform overlooking a pool of molten lava and manages to get past it.

Soundwave deals with another deployment of Autobot clones and gets through the second cell bar platform overlooking the same pool of molten lava.

Soundwave finally finds the second MechTech developing room that has the second Volcanic Stabilizer.

Soundwave manages to deal with the Autobot clones without taking any damage for a change.

Soundwave uses his Ultrasonics on the outer shell of the second Volcanic Stabilizer and shoots its contents.

The same N.E.S.T agent on the P.A. says, "Alert. Volcanic Stabilizer in Sector F offline. Tectonic load balance redistributed to remaining stabilizers. System strain exceeding normal operating capacity. Immediate repairs recommended."

Soundwave deals with the remaining Autobot clones in the room and progresses to the next exit.

Soundwave stumbles upon a web of lethal lasers leading to the next exit.

Soundwave observes the lasers' pattern and states to himself, "These lasers are powerful enough to burn through my armor. I must proceed with extreme caution."

Soundwave manages to get through the two sets of lasers without taking any damage due to him being fast enough to avoid the lasers.

Soundwave progresses towards the same room with the laser grid trap.

Without knowing about the trap at first, Soundwave activates the generator-shaped console and it activates the laser trap.

A clone of an Autobot Commander is heard saying, "You're trapped, Decepticon! You can't escape!"

Wheeljack says over the commlink, "No, no, that will not do, commander! This is no mere Decepticon!"

Soundwave contacts Laserbeak and says quietly, "Laserbeak, locate my position and disable the security laser grid, quickly."

Wheeljack states, "Soundwave, there is no escape from here! Surrender!"

Unfazed, Soundwave replies emotionlessly, "Your facility will be crushed under the weight of its own mountain."

The Autobot Commander clone calls out, "Destroy him!"

An army of Autobot clones tries to gun down Soundwave, but his Sonic Cannons combined with his Assault Rifle, his Ultrasonics, his Stun ability and his Stealth Force mode allowed him to destroy his would-be captors.

After the last clone falls, the laser grid trap is deactivated and Soundwave remarks emotionlessly, "Resistance destroyed."

Soundwave exits the room through the same door Laserbeak entered it through, follows the corridors and finds the cooling room.

Upon seeing the cooling fluid, Soundwave remarks, "This cooling fluid is powerful enough to freeze my circuitry. I must deactivate its flow."

Soundwave deactivates the flow of the cooling fluid while contending with the last of the Autobot clones.

After dealing with the last Autobot clone, Soundwave uses his Ultrasonics to destroy the outer shell of the last Volcanic Stabilizer.

The stabilizer blows up by itself as the P.A. announces, "Danger! Volcanic Stabilizer in Sector Z, offline. Tectonic load overbalance has been reached. System strain is beyond normal operating capacity. Volcanic eruption imminent."

Soundwave activates the controls at the entrance to drain the cooling fluid, and the cooling fluid is drained.

Soundwave jumps down the drain and manages to find the data archive room containing the Lunar Landing data and the data about EV2, aka Shockwave.

Soundwave says to Megatron while downloading the data, "Megatron, I have retrieved the data that the humans were hiding regarding the Lunar Landing and EV2. Transmit—"

But Soundwave is interrupted when he feels the ground rumbling and hears the ground rumbling at the same time, signifying that the volcano was erupting.

But Megatron doesn't notice as he asks, "Soundwave, transmit! Soundwave, what's going on over there?!"

Realizing the volcano is erupting, Soundwave states before disconnecting his commlink for the time being, "Action required. Volcano is erupting. I must take my leave. Transmission will resume shortly."

Soundwave shoots the explosive crates in the back of the room to create an access tunnel for his vehicle mode.

Soundwave transforms to vehicle mode and starts driving at a controlled form of maximum speed.

Soundwave navigates the road paths to escape the exploding volcano.

Soundwave rushes through the right paths to the exit while avoiding the lava and while avoiding crashing while coming up to sharp turns.

Upon coming upon the final stretch to the exit, Soundwave decides the next logical step.

Soundwave uses his boosters for the final push to the one-way and one-time-use-only exit to escape the exploding volcano.

Outside the exploding volcano, Soundwave contacts Megatron and says, "Megatron, we have succeeded. Data secured, and facility destroyed."

Megatron replies over the commlink, "Well done, Soundwave."

Just about after Soundwave leaves the coast of the island, Cuervosplicer shows up and uses his Physical Restoration power, his Temporal Rewinding power, and his Divine Resurrection ability in unison to restore Wheeljack's testing laboratory and the island base, in addition to reviving the N.E.S.T soldiers from certain death.

Cuervosplicer contacts Optimus and remarks cheekily, "Optimus, I got great news. My plan worked. Soundwave, Laserbeak and Megatron literally fell for all of it, hook, line and sinker. If I wasn't a hero, I'd be laughing maniacally by now, but... mwa ha ha."

Optimus Prime replies, "Yes, I will admit it will be humorous to see the look on Megatron's face plate and on Soundwave's face plate when they realize too late that they have been deceived. Are the siblings of the Aerialbots ready?"

Cuervosplicer answers, "Yes, they are ready. They just need the go-ahead."

Optimus replies, "They have the go-ahead. Optimus out."

Cuervosplicer contacts the Aerialbot siblings and says, "Brushwise, Neutrostorm, Dunebrawn, Brushcrusher, Brakewing, Wreckpounder, Astroburst, Shocksight, Leadguard, Vicerake, Twinray, Dropburner, Roughshot, Phasepunch, Avianframe, Twinblade, Fangblades, Windwing, Lazercut, Phasepoint, Boneguard, Savagesnarl, Afterlift, Halfshift, Tigercycle, Heliquake, Joltstrike, Magmastop, Rapidshift, Doomstrong, Roughclash, Wing Hauler, Needle Cloud, Tigakill, Cannonfist, Strikelane, Airjaw, Strikeburst, Pyromaster, Rotordagger, Thunderthrust, Blowsweep, Backwise, Flameways, Dreadkick, Highdive, Tigerray, Ratblitz, Aerowave, Rollsiren, Solarbeam, Powerhorn, Topcrack, Flyburner, Strikedealer, Divevortex, Flameway, Afterwheels, Windvortex, Hammerpounder, Iceflash, Lightbang, Leadcharge, Flightbird, Solarsweep, Depthback, Soundburn, Jawpunch, Aviandive, Rhinoblade, Phastracks, Speedbite, Scorchrazor, Doublecloud, Dropdealer, Rhiwar, Ironscraps, Rumblepounder, Flighttron, Bodybuster, Afterstream, Gloomguard, Rumblestrong, and Landbang. Do you guys read me?"

Landbang replies, "Yes, Cuervosplicer. We read you."

Cuervosplicer continues, "Phase 1 is complete. Begin phase two as soon as you get the alert that Starscream sprung some traps."

Clicking off the commlink, Cuervosplicer transformed to his jet mode and flew off to Autobot Headquarters to prepare for the attack on the Decepticons' Siberian base.

The End.

(Author's notes: Here's a semi-short, semi-long enough rundown for the Aerialbots Starscream will be targeting in place of the Aerialbots: Brushwise, Neutrostorm, Dunebrawn, Brushcrusher, Brakewing, Wreckpounder, Astroburst, Shocksight, Leadguard, Vicerake, Twinray, Dropburner, Roughshot, Phasepunch, Avianframe, Twinblade, Fangblades, Windwing, Lazercut, Phasepoint, Boneguard, Savagesnarl, Afterlift, Halfshift, Tigercycle, Heliquake, Joltstrike, Magmastop, Rapidshift, Doomstrong, Roughclash, Wing Hauler, Needle Cloud, Tigakill, Cannonfist, Strikelane, Airjaw, Strikeburst, Pyromaster, Rotordagger, Thunderthrust, Blowsweep, Backwise, Flameways, Dreadkick, Highdive, Tigerray, Ratblitz, Aerowave, Rollsiren, Solarbeam, Powerhorn, Topcrack, Flyburner, Strikedealer, Divevortex, Flameway, Afterwheels, Windvortex, Hammerpounder, Iceflash, Lightbang, Leadcharge, Flightbird, Solarsweep, Depthback, Soundburn, Jawpunch, Aviandive, Rhinoblade, Phasetracks, Speedbite, Scorchrazor, Doublecloud, Dropdealer, Rhiwar, Ironscraps, Rumblepounder, Flighttron, Bodybuster, Afterstream, Gloomguard, Rumblestrong, and Landbang.
