Transformers Generation 1: The Heroics of Crowwing Prime.

Chapter 5: The Ultimate Doom, Part 1: Brainwash.

(Author's notes: In this chapter, Sparkplug's kidnapping will be averted due to Crowwing Prime and his troops making an omnidirectional guard around Sparkplug and Spike to avoid any kidnappings. However, one of the Autobots' other human allies, Scotty Drummond, will be taken and turned into a slave in Sparkplug's place.

Enjoy chapter 5.)

(Off the Malabar Coast of India, third person POV...)

A Maharaja remarks, "The solar collectors are producing three hundred units of energy per second. Excellent."

Suddenly, the numbers drop to zero as the sun is being blocked by the arrival of the Decepticon Seekers Sun End, Icewarp, Banzaisnapper, Topcracker, Fiststrong, and Sparkface.

The Maharaja asks, "What can be happening?"

The six Decepticon Seekers arrive on the scene and switch to robot mode.

Icewarp remarks, "I hear the Maharaja's holding an open house."

Icewarp blasts a hole in the palace walls and the six Decepticons enter the palace, causing the Maharaja to scream in terror.

Meanwhile, as the Grounder Autobots approach the water leading to the palace, Optimus Prime calls out, "Autobots, activate hydrofoils."

The Autobots activate their hydrofoils as their tires are replaced with the water skis.

Jazz remarks, "Thanks for the crazy water skis, Wheeljack! I always wanted to play motorboat."

Sunstreaker remarks, "Eh, I wish they were painted to match my base coat of paint. The colors clash."

Optimus replies, "Redecorate later, Sunstreaker. Our primary focus is the Decepticons, especially if Crowwing Prime's foreknowledge is correct."

In the palace, the Maharaja is trying to restore power as he mutters, "I've got to restore power!"

Icewarp grabs the Maharaja and shoots the power collecting monitor.

Icewarp asks, "Heh heh heh! Anyone for a game of catch?"

Sun End replies, "We're not here to frolic, Icewarp. Get rid of him."

Icewarp remarks, "Spoilsport."

Suddenly, Optimus Prime safely lassos the Maharaja to safety.

Optimus Prime calls out, "Autobots, prepare for action!"

At Decepticon Headquarters, Megatron is watching the whole thing from the monitors as he remarks, "You will get more action than you bargained for, Optimus Prime."

Doctor Arkeville states, "You promised me a guinea pig, Megatron. I need one for my experiment."

Megatron replies, "Patience, Doctor Arkeville. Operation: Guinea Pig is proceeding according to schedule."

Megatron contacts Soundwave and says, "Soundwave, acknowledge."

Soundwave replies, "Proceed, Megatron."

Megatron continues, "The Autobots have been successfully diverted. Begin phase 2 of the operation."

Soundwave replies, "Affirmative. Rumble, transform."

Rumble deploys from Soundwave's chestplate and hauls assets into Autobot Headquarters.

Inside the Ark's main room, Sparkplug is feeding Ironhide hot oil.

Ironhide states, "Hey, watch it, Sparkplug!"

Sparkplug replies, "What's the matter, Ironhide? Is the oil too hot?"

Suddenly, everyone hears and feels the ground shaking.

Ironhide asks, "What the?"

Rumble continues making an earthquake in one of the rooms.

Outside, Soundwave announces, "Ravage, transform."

Ravage ejects from Soundwave's chestplate, only to fall into one of Crowwing's tiger pit traps inside the Ark.

Ravage's distressed growls inform Soundwave that his favorite Cyber-Panther had fallen into a trap.

Ironhide deploys a seismic monitor latch from his right hand onto the floor to detect the seismic activity from Rumble's pile driver arms.

Sideswipe comes in and asks, "What's shaking?"

Ironhide checks the results from his chestplate screen and replies, "The center of the disturbance is over there."

Bumblebee rushes over to the disturbance and quietly states, "It's Rumble."

Outside, after hearing Ravage's distressed and frustrated growls, Soundwave growls angrily before stating, "Laserbeak, transform!"

Laserbeak deploys from Soundwave's chestplate and squawks as he flies into the volcano from the top.

As Ironhide and Sideswipe join Bumblebee, Spike Witwicky asks, "Ironhide, Bumblebee, what's going on?"

Sideswipe takes aim at Rumble and answers, "Nothing a little flare fire can't clear up."

Sideswipe fires a flare from his flare gun at Rumble, taking him out of the fight.

Crowwing Prime and his troops rush into the room and they manage to shoot down Laserbeak.

Laserbeak painfully squawks for Soundwave's assistance.

Soundwave comes in blasting every Autobot in sight, Crowwing excluded as the Autobot Aerialbot was invulnerable.

Crowwing Prime manages to blast Soundwave with multiple bullets that are made of Cybertitanium metal.

Soundwave recovers from the hundreds of bullets and angrily snarls, "This isn't over yet, Prime! Remember that! Rumble, Ravage, Laserbeak, return!"

Soundwave's three minions return to his chestplate, where he opens the cassette door and they transform to cassette mode to enter Soundwave's chestplate.

Soundwave retreats.

Crowwing gloats, "This is definitely not over yet. But we will be ready."

Meanwhile, Soundwave captures another human ally of the Autobots: Scotty Drummond.

Back at the palace, Megatron contacts his six Decepticon Seekers and says, "Decepticons, Operation: Guinea Pig is now complete. Return to base."

Sun End and his Seekers take to the air as he says, "Decepticons, follow me!"

The six Decepticon Seekers fly away in jet mode.

Optimus remarks, "Just as Crowwing Prime told us: they pulled out."

Jazz adds, "And without any Energon cubes."

Optimus states, "Hmm... that does not satisfy my logic circuits."

Suddenly, Optimus' chestplate lights up to signify a distress signal.

Wheeljack points out, "Prime, the Decepticons have hit Autobot Headquarters!"

Sunstreaker remarks, "We were indeed set up!"

Optimus calls out, "Autobots, transform and roll out! Back to headquarters at once!"

In Decepticon Headquarters, Megatron remarks, "Your guinea pig has arrived, Dr. Arkeville."

The terrorist collaborating doctor replies, "Excellent!"

As Laserbeak flies in carrying Scotty, the Autobots' latest human ally says, "Let me go, you big lizard-beaked buzzard!"

Megatron remarks, "Laserbeak, where are your manners? Our guest needs a seat."

Megatron kicks a chair to Scotty, who gets caught by the seat as he's released from Laserbeak's talons.

Scotty retorts, "Guest, huh?! Prisoner is more like it! Uhh!"

In the elevator, Icewarp remarks, "I say Megatron's plan was brilliant!"

Sun End retorts, "And I say that the diversionary attack on the solar power plant was a waste of energy!"

Icewarp replies back, "You waste more energy with your mouth!"

Sun End and Icewarp engage in a fistfight.

As the elevator comes to a stop, Megatron approaches the elevator and shouts, "Silence! Control yourselves."

Scotty takes advantage of the distraction and runs to a control panel, and he starts pushing various buttons.

Scotty mutters, "One of these here buttons might open a doorway out of here."

But Doctor Arkeville grabs him gently and tosses him back into the chair while crooning, "Don't go yet!"

As Scotty is restrained into the chair, Dr. Arkeville pushes a button on his mechanical glove to remove a conductor hypno chip and says to Megatron, "I have something that will interest you."

Megatron replies with a warning, "It had better function, Doctor, or you will cease functioning."

Doctor Arkeville replies back, "I have worked too diligently to fail now, Megatron. Watch."

Doctor Arkeville places the conductor chip behind Scotty's right ear as Scotty says, "Whatever you're planning, the Autobots will stop you."

Megatron responds with, "Silence, miserable flesh creature! You are to be the first of a new breed: a breed of slaves!"

At Autobot Headquarters, Crowwing Prime was literally in a bad mood as his efforts to prevent Sparkplug from being kidnapped resulted in someone else being kidnapped.

Optimus comes over and puts his servo on Crowwing's right shoulder and says, "Crowwing, I know how you feel, but your anger won't solve anything. You need to keep a clear head if you're gonna continue using your foreknowledge."

Crowwing grumbles before slowly calming himself so as to not accidentally transform to his dragon mode again.

Bumblebee comes up to Crowwing and states, "Cheer up, Crowwing. We'll get Scotty back, no matter what it takes."

Fieryways asks Wheeljack, "Got any inventions for the task at hand, Wheeljack?"

Wheeljack replies, "Maybe, but we'll need a plan to pull this off."

Prowl announces, "I've got the plan, if all of you have got the cast-iron manifolds for it."

Crowwing Prime replies, "We have."

Optimus Prime calls out, "Transform and roll out!"

The Autobot Grounders and Aerialbots transform to vehicle mode and drive/fly to a cliff overlooking Decepticon Headquarters.

In Decepticon Headquarters, Shockwave says, "Everything is in readiness, Megatron."

Megatron asks, "Are you sure the new Space Bridge will be large enough to transport its special... cargo?"

Shockwave answers, "Affirmative. But delivering the cargo will use up all of our remaining Energon cubes."

Megatron replies back, "We will worry about that later."

Megatron deactivates the computer monitor and notices Dr. Arkeville eavesdropping on his conversation with Shockwave.

Megatron remarks, "Eavesdropping, doctor?"

Dr. Arkeville walks with Megatron to the main room and asks, "What's this about a Space Bridge and a special cargo?"

Megatron replies before ordering, "That's not your affair. The Earth shall be yours by the time we are through with it. That's all you need to know. Now, give me a demonstration."

Dr. Arkeville points to his conductor hypno-chip and explains, "My hypno-chip has the power to override the will of the individual, depending on how strong-willed or weak-willed the particular individual really is." Doctor Arkeville goes over to his controls and finishes, "I, and I alone, can control the actions of my slaves from here."

Dr. Arkeville throws the lever, and Scotty's will is overridden.

Megatron opens a door to reveal a clone of Optimus Prime and says, "We shall test your theory, doctor. Scotty, say hello to your friend."

Sun End whispers, "Optimus Prime! Prepare to attack."

Megatron laughs in response as he explains, "Hahaha. Relax, you panic monger. This is merely a clone of our enemy."

As the Optimus Prime clone approaches Scotty, Dr. Arkeville says into the microphone, "Scotty, deal with him."

Scotty is released from the chair and he grabs the Optimus Prime clone by the legs and forces him to fall down with all of his might.

Megatron remarks in evil praise, "Excellent, doctor! Your hypno-chip will provide me with the means to conquer the Earth and destroy the Autobots once and for all!"

At the cliff overlooking the underwater path to Decepticon Headquarters, the Autobot team switches to robot mode.

Optimus calls out, "You all have your assignments. Go for it!"

Jazz approaches the edge of the cliff and remarks, "Into the ocean, best be daring, the last one in is a rusty herring!"

Jazz dives into the ocean water.

Sunstreaker states, "I hope the saltwater doesn't bleach my body enamel!"

The entire Autobot team sans Cliffjumper, Brawn and Windcharger dives into the water.

The three Autobots drive into a cave and Brawn activates his vehicle mode drill to start drilling a path to Decepticon Headquarters.

Brawn calls out, "Activate your depth gauge, Cliffjumper. We've gotta know when we're below sea level."

Cliffjumper activates his depth gauge and replies, "Twenty-seven point seven feet above and descending."

At Decepticon Headquarters, a scanner is keeping a close watch on the perimeter until it sees the Autobot team at twelve o'clock.

The scanner starts beeping in alarm.

Bumblebee points out, "A scanner at twelve o'clock, Prime."

Optimus takes aim and remarks, "Let's see if they can scan this!"

Optimus shoots at the scanner and the scanner disintegrates by the intensity of the shot from his Ion Blaster.

Optimus calls out, "Autobots, move in!"

The Autobot team swims closer, only to narrowly avoid getting blasted by Megatron as he reveals himself.

Megatron laughs maniacally as he remarks, "There's more where that came from!"

Sunstreaker swims behind Megatron and retorts, "Ditto, Mega-dunce! Plenty more!"

Sunstreaker fires a missile from his right hand and the missile exploding knocks Megatron to the floor.

Cliffjumper points out, "We're not only below sea level, and we're also below the ocean floor, Brawn! Hang a left and straighten out!"

Brawn starts drilling to the left and continues going straight.

Back in the water, Wheeljack fires a shot at Topcracker, who manages to dodge the shot.

Topcracker gets to a high ledge where he sees Bumblebee seemingly unaware of what's about to happen.

Topcracker fires a missile at the Autobot scout, only for Bumblebee to catch the missile, ride on it and direct it back to Topcracker.

Bumblebee lets go of the missile as he calls out, "Hey, Topcracker, does this belong to you?"

The missile explodes near Topcracker's pedes, sending him flying.

Back in the cave being drilled, Windcharger advises, "We should be getting close."

Cliffjumper replies, "You'd better pass me."

Windcharger jumps over Cliffjumper to pass over him.

Brawn asks, "Is your magnetic field activated, Windcharger?"

Windcharger replies, "Right. Soon as I feel a tug, we'll know we're at our destination of Decepticon Headquarters."

Brawn, Windcharger and Cliffjumper transform to robot mode and Brawn punches the ceiling hard enough to breach the ocean floor, flooding the tunnel with water in the process.

Brawn calls out, "Everybody into the pool!"

The three Autobots fly out of the tunnel and into the ocean water.

In Decepticon Headquarters, Sun End snarls, "I don't care what Megatron says. The prisoner stays."

Dr. Arkeville asks with a warning, "How would you like me to reprogram you into a trash compactor?"

Windcharger flies underneath the hull and remarks, "Okay, this must be the place."

Brawn orders, "Give it the glass gas, Cliffjumper."

Cliffjumper fires his glass gas gun at the designated spot, breaching the hull and causing Sun End to fall into the water.

Dr. Arkeville manages to flee and hide just as Brawn, Windcharger and Cliffjumper emerge into the ship.

Crowwing Prime teleports into Decepticon Headquarters and successfully fries the conductor hypno-chip and removes it.

Brawn calls out, "Gotta grab Scotty!"

As Cliffjumper fires at any Decepticons approaching, Brawn hands Scotty over to Windcharger and punches one of the walls, creating another hull breach.

As the Autobot team heads back into the water, Windcharger advises, "Hold your breath, Scotty!"

The Autobot team dives into the water, with Scotty holding his breath.

As Sun End makes it back into the room, he snarls, "Those Autobots will pay for this!"

Dr. Arkeville laughs maniacally as he replies, "They certainly will! They've just taken our slave into their midst!"

Of course, Dr. Arkeville remains oblivious to the fact that Scotty's hypno-chip was permanently disabled and completely removed before it could even reboot itself, even though the chip was fried.

On the way to Autobot Headquarters, Crowwing Prime smugly remarks in his thoughts, "Hahahaha! Suckers! You don't even know how well-prepared I am for your plans today and in the future!"

In Autobot Headquarters, Ratchet, Sparkplug, Scotty and Crowwing were giving the entire team repairs.

Ratchet asks, "Will ya hold still, Sunstreaker?"

Sunstreaker replies, "Be careful with that thing! You'll get scorch marks on my selenium shin guards."

As Scotty is helping repair Wheeljack, Crowwing states, "It's good to have you back, Scotty."

Scotty replies, "It's good to be back, Crowwing. We'll catch up when the first opportunity arrives."

Scotty finishes repairing Wheeljack and calls out, "Okay, who else needs repairs?"

Scotty moves on to the next Autobot in need of repairs.

Crowwing smiles evilly, knowing he bought the Autobot team some time.

Optimus notices as he comes over to his new lieutenant and asks, "Crowwing, you want to let me in on what you're smiling evilly about?"

Crowwing replies, "I bought us some time to stop the Decepticons' latest plot."

Crowwing's extrasensory awareness suddenly goes off and he brings out his shield to block a shot from Megatron.

Pushing aside his shock at how well Crowwing anticipated the shot coming out of nowhere, Megatron calls out, "Attack! Spare no one!"

Teletraan 1 sounds the alarm and Crowwing's failsafe activates: covering Megatron's goons in fire retardant foam.

Megatron calls out, "Fire retardant foam! Our circuitry's been shorted out!"

Topcracker calls out, "My weapon!"

Icewarp inquires, "Can't just bash them to pieces?"

Megatron replies, "No. If we stay, this foam will permanently damage our circuitry! The Autobots are too extensively prepared for a direct assault. Decepticons, retreat!"

Megatron and his troops manage to retreat.

Crowwing cackles maniacally as he doubles over.

Ironhide asks Fieryways, "Why is your sparkmate cackling like an egomaniac?"

Fieryways responds with, "He mainly does it to scare people or to express how he finds something to be extremely humorous. Especially when his plans go so perfectly that he doesn't feel the need to monologue like a cartoon villain."

Crowwing composes himself and explains, "We've got a problem on our hands. Megatron is planning on using three giant energy pylons to create a Space Bridge big enough and powerful enough to bring Cybertron into the Earth's atmosphere."

Optimus asks, "What? What will happen when Cybertron is brought to the Earth's atmosphere?"

Fieryways answers, "Cybertron's gravity will create all sorts of natural disasters known to man, including earthquakes, tidal waves, dangerous lightning storms, volcanic eruptions, landslides, famines, droughts, and wildfires. That will result in a tremendous flow of energy which Dr. Arkeville's hypnotized slaves will be ordered to collect into Energon cubes. And trust me, Megatron's cunning knowledge of our weaknesses and our inability to fight his troops without amassing human casualties combined with Dr. Arkeville's super genius-level intellect will result in the planet Earth being ripped apart, atom by atom, molecule by molecule, until there's nothing left."

Crowwing then says, "Optimus, I know how much you want both Earth and Cybertron to survive, but at some point you have to ask yourself, is it worth it to destroy Earth just to save Cybertron?"

Optimus looked on in deep thought.

Meanwhile, Megatron states to Topcracker, "Coordinate the angles of the energy pylons."

Topcracker manages to do so.

Suddenly, Sun End turns up with Doctor Arkeville.

The mad scientist asks, "So, Megatron, you're finally preparing this Space Bridge to send that special cargo, eh?"

Megatron replies, "Precisely, doctor, and the cargo will be nothing less than our home planet of Cybertron."

Bewildered, Dr. Arkeville inquires, "Your planet?! You're bringing a planet to the Earth?"

The Decepticon leader answers, "Yes."

Doctor Arkeville protests, "But the gravity of your planet will create earthquakes, tidal waves, every natural disaster known to humankind... it will... devastate my planet!"

Megatron explains uncaringly, "Ah, but the devastation to your planet will also create a tremendous flow of energy. A flow of energy which your hypno-chip slaves will collect into Energon cubes. The cubes will then be easily shipped to Cybertron for our own use."

Doctor Arkeville protests again, "But what will be left of Earth, then? I will be the ruler of a dead planet!"

The Decepticon leader replies back, "A small problem, my dear doctor, for your amazing genius."

Dr. Arkeville scowls dangerously, now comprehending that in order for the Earth to be saved so that he may in turn conquer it, he'd have to betray the Decepticons while being careful to avert suspicions.

But of course, if Crowwing Prime had been there, he would've restrained the malevolent scientist and informed him that attempting to betray the Decepticons, no matter how carefully he does it, is nigh impossible because even though Megatron is no scientist, he's smart enough to take into account someone betraying him from behind the scenes.

On the way to the energy pylons, Crowwing advises, "Megatron will most likely order for the hypno-chip slaves to be released just to prevent us from shooting and he'll most likely order his troops to activate the energy pylons once he's been alerted of our presence when we get there, but when they're activated save for one, they must not be destroyed. For if even one pylon is destroyed, Cybertron will be sent into oblivion."

Shockwave says over the commlink, "The Space Bridge is completed. We are ready to transport Cybertron."

Megatron replies, "And we are ready to receive."

Suddenly, the Autobot team arrives in vehicle mode.

Topcracker notices as he calls out, "Autobots!"

Megatron takes temporary cover behind the building holding the hypno-chip slaves and says into his commlink to Decepticon Headquarters, "Position the slaves, doctor. At once!"

Dr. Arkeville replies, "As you wish, Megatron."

Optimus calls out, "Autobots, transform and move in!"

The Autobots transform to robot mode.

Crowwing states, "The game is over, Megatron!"

Megatron replies, "On the contrary, Crowwing Prime! I still have a trump card to play!"

Crowwing flares his dragon mode wings from behind his back, ready to shoot his Energon lasers from the techno-organic tips of his demonic-looking dragon wings.

Suddenly, the door to the plantation opens, revealing all of Doctor Arkeville's slaves sans Scotty since he was freed from Dr. Arkeville's hypno-chip earlier that day.

The slaves start walking out robotically.

Crowwing whispers, "You see? Just like I told you."

Optimus whispers back, "Yes, I see. Crowwing, I know you're a professional sharpshooter able to make your shots ricochet without hitting any bystanders, but I'm not taking any chances in case one of Doctor Arkeville's slaves gets into the line of fire."

Optimus says aloud to his troops, "Autobots, hold your fire! We cannot endanger the humans!"

Crowwing replies, "Well, I'm taking my chances not with my sharpshooting skills, but with something of my own design."

Crowwing's armored veins start glowing and he calls out, "Ultrasonic Waves!"

Crowwing deploys his Ultrasonics in the same manner as Soundwave's Audio Disrupter Waves, frying the hypno-chips and freeing Doctor Arkeville's slaves from his control.

The former slaves run out of the way in the right direction, and taking his opportunity, Crowwing fires a shot from his own Fusion Cannon at Megatron, sending him flying with the single shot.

Crowwing and Optimus follow Megatron while the Autobot team carries on with the now traditional way they fight the Decepticon army: the Autobot Grounders fight the Decepticon Grounders on the ground level, and the Autobot Aerialbots fight the Decepticon Seekers in the air.

Doctor Arkeville exclaims in anger, "This is not possible! All of the hypno-chips have been fried! Crowwing Prime is much smarter than I thought."

Crowwing's Mini-Cons manage to help the former slaves remove the fried hypno-chips.

Meanwhile, Shockwave says to Megatron, "Entering final countdown phase, Megatron. If the energy pylons are not operational, Cybertron will be catapulted into oblivion."

Topcracker is about to activate the first pylon, but he gets blasted away.

Icewarp is about to activate the second energy pylon, but he gets blasted away as well.

Crowwing carries Optimus to the top of the energy pylon in jet mode.

After setting Optimus down upon reaching the top, Crowwing transforms to his flying robot mode and watches as Optimus, Fieryways and Shiftcross take aim at the control panels for the energy pylons.

However, a huge army of Sun End's Seekers immediately surround them, and Megatron, Soundwave and Spyglass take the opportunity to activate all three energy pylons.

As the energy pylons successfully bring Cybertron to Earth's orbit, Crowwing shouts at the top of his lungs in a hypersonic tone, "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Everyone covered their ears and audio receptors in pain, having been somewhat too close to actually hear the full force of Crowwing's hypersonic voice.

Megatron, on the other hand, recovers from the hypersonic yell as he sees Cybertron's gravity devastating the Earth and he exclaims triumphantly, "Aaahh! This is only the beginning! The sum of Earth's magnificent energy will be mine! I have won!"

Megatron laughs maniacally before he gets punched hard in the face by Crowwing Prime, sending shards of metal flying. And the Autobot Aerialbot with a dragon mode was so p***** off that his armor was glowing in all the various colors known to man as flowing streams of energy and burning flames that are like the burning bush in regards to how they don't singe his paint job or burn through his techno-organic armor.

Crowwing snarls in his demonic voice, "MEGATRON! I'LL F****** KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO! I'LL KILL YOU, AND I'LL KILL ALL OF THE DECEPTICONS UNDER YOUR COMMAND, NO MATTER WHAT OR WHO GETS IN MY WAY! I'LL KILL YOU FOR DESTROYING THE EARTH AND FOR THE MILLIONS OF INNOCENT CYBERTRONIANS, AUTOBOTS INCLUDED, THAT YOU MURDERED IN YOUR MISERABLE EXISTENCE!"

Crowwing deploys his sword-axe and the weapon glows brightly with energy and fire.

Megatron's ruby red optics widen in shock and horror as he now comprehends that Crowwing Prime was as powerful as the God of the Earth that he read about, and Megatron actually stepped back in fear as Crowwing got himself ready to attack.

His own blue optics widened in shock and horror at the sights before him, Optimus asks himself out loud, "Has Cybertron been saved, only to destroy the Earth and to turn a Prime into a killer?"

In the next episode of The Transformers, Megatron's deadly plan to bring Cybertron into Earth's orbit not only prompts Crowwing Prime to turn into a supervillain killer in his final gambit to destroy the Decepticons, but Megatron's plan also results in the creation of tremendous natural disasters around the world. The Dinobots team up with the various new generic mass produced Dinobots Crowwing Prime invented in an attempt to stop the huge tidal waves and earthquakes which threaten to rip the planet apart. And Crowwing Prime's Aerialbots travel to Cybertron to save their friend Scotty Drummond, who has once again been turned into a mindless slave, all in the next exciting episode of The Transformers: The Ultimate Doom.

To be continued...

(Author's notes: Yeah, Crowwing Prime has suddenly turned into a murderous antihero, all because his plan to save a version of Earth which wasn't his to call home had failed. But how will Megatron be able to save himself from a murderous Prime hell-bent on his destruction and will not be stopped because of how powerful he is as a Cybertronian equivalent of a demigod? We shall find out in chapter 6: The Ultimate Doom, Part 2: Search. See you all in chapter 6.
