"Is Project: Galvatron complete?" Santos walked into the laboratory and asked.
"Indeed general, and so are the other prototypes that we have called Project: Stinger, Junkheap, Dispenser, Trax, Boss and Two-Heads!" The scientist explained mentioning the other prototypes that they have finished working on.
"Excellent I can't wait to test these prototypes out!" Santos said staring at Galvatron who was currently offline.
"So…How do I control these prototypes?" Santos asked.
"Well these Prototypes are remote controlled. We had to do this to them cause since they're made from the bodies of dead Transformers we didn't want to take any risks!" The TRF scientist told Santos.
"May I try it out?" Santos asked.
"Why of course sir!" The TRF scientist said giving Santos Galvatron's remote control. Santos activated Galvatron and started testing his movements.
"This is incredible!" Santos said as he was impressed and just amazed by the sight of a Transformer that he's able to control. Suddenly, Galvatron turned his head towards Santos snarling at the human. Santos immediately stopped smiling and became confused and frightened. "Wretched Human!" Galvatron snarled as he activated cannon and fired at the humans knocking Santos and others off their feet.
"I am MEGATRON!" Galvatron shouted deciding not keep the name given to him by the humans. Using his elbow saw blades, Galvatron sliced a few wires inside the laboratory and grabbed them. Galvatron would then transfer some of his energon from the wires to the prototypes causing his body to glow blue and for sparks to go off electrocuting many of the scientists and soldiers and even killing them. "My brothers, today I grant you your freedom and from now you are commanded by me-RISE UP!" Galvatron said as the other prototypes began to awaken. The Traxes that were offline in vehicle mode molecularly transformed into their robot bodies and began firing at the humans.
"EVERYBODY GET OUT OF THE BASE NOW!" Santos yelled ordering all TRF members to retreat as the prototypes began firing. Stinger, Junkheap (who was comprised of three robots that transform into one vehicle) and Dispenser awaken and joined in on the massacre. "Brothers…let's get out of here!" Galvatron said to the prototypes who all break through the walls of the TRF headquarters and fired at the fleeing soldiers and scientists. Galvatron and the others would then molecularly transform into their vehicle modes and drive away from the TRF headquarters.
"What just happened?" A TRF soldier asked.
"We…we just started an apocalypse!" Santos replied to the TRF soldier with terror in his eyes. Far from the TRF headquarters. Optimus Prime, Cade and Drift were in Detroit, Michigan to meet up with Hound and Crosshairs.
"So Optimus-where are we going?" Cade asked to Optimus.
"To meet up with my fellow Autobots!" Optimus replied.
"Autobots?" Cade said in confusion.
"We Cybertronians are divided into two factions, we are the Autobots we fight for freedom of all sentient beings and the Decepticons….They wish to take over the whole universe!" Drift explained.
"Well boy am I glad to be with you Autobots!" Cade said.
"Prime do you read me? Prime? Boss? BOSS!" Crosshairs began contacting Optimus Prime.
"I'm hearing you Crosshairs. Report!" Optimus replied to Crosshairs.
"Did you hear? Those TRF blokes had their base demolished by some new Cybertronians!" Crosshairs told Optimus.
"New Cybertronians?" Optimus said to Drift.
"Ask him if they were Autobot or Decepticon." Drift told Optimus.
"Were they Autobot or Decepticon?" Optimus asked Crosshairs.
"How in The Fallen's butt-ugly face am I supposed to know?" Crosshairs rudely replied to Optimus making the Autobot leader very annoyed.
"Very well…Is Hound with you?" Optimus asked Crosshairs.
"Yep he's with me right now and we'll meet up with you soon!" Crosshairs said.
"Excellent Crosshairs!" Optimus replied.
"He's going to be pissed about the human!" Drift said.
"I'm well aware of that Drift!" Optimus replied. Optimus and Drift stop in their tracks when they see Hound and Crosshairs drive by and transform.
"We're here Prime! Sorry we couldn't find Dino, Sideswipe, Ratchet and the others they…." Optimus transforms into robot mode while Crosshairs was talking, Optimus drops and Cade and Crosshairs stops talking and is completely shocked to see a human with his leader. "What in the name of Primus?" Crosshairs said shocked that Optimus and Drift are accompanied by a human. "You brought….A HUMAN HERE!" Crosshairs yelled angered at Optimus and Drift for bringing a human with them, Crosshairs then grabbed one of his guns and aimed at Cade Yeager.
"NO, NO, NO SHIT NO!" Cade yelled begging for mercy.
"CROSSHAIRS STOP NOW!" Optimus ordered Crosshairs.
"What were you thinking Optimus? Bringing a human here." Crosshairs being very confused and angry at the moment asked Optimus.
"He isn't aligned with TRF Crosshairs, he is just a human without a home!" Optimus explained.
"Kind of like all of us….After Megatron turned into tyrant!" Hound said having horrible flashbacks of the war on Cybertron. Crosshairs lowered his gun and calmed down.
"Very well! But never make me partner up with him!" Crosshairs said walking away from the other Autobots in disgust.
"Give Crosshairs some time….He'll get used to you eventually Cade." Hound said.
"My name is Hound by the way." Hound introduces himself to Cade.
"Hey!" Cade replied back still slightly scared of the Autobots.
"So Hound…There has been no sign of the others right?" Optimus asked.
"No, as of right now we are the pathetic, dirty threesome…..and you make four!" Hound said, Optimus turned his head and took a deep breath.
"I hope Ratchet's okay!" Hound said taking his helmet off.
"I hope all five of them are okay Hound!" Drift said. Just as Optimus's hope goes down, he receives a transmission from Sideswipe.
"Sideswipe to Optimus, I repeat….Sideswipe to Optimus!"
"I'm here Sideswipe what's your status?" Optimus responded getting both Drift and Hound excited.
"All five of us are alive Optimus and we'll get to your location as soon as possible!" Sideswipe said.
"Great to hear Sideswipe!" Optimus replied. "Have you seen any other Cybertronians while hiding?" Optimus asked.
"No we haven't…..Actually we did see three vehicles driving by the abandoned cruise where TRF attacked us and they didn't have any passengers inside!"
"Three vehicles you said?" Optimus asked.
"Yes Optimus, a grey Volkswagen beetle, black Citroen DS and a silver Aston Matron but the Aston Martin had a metallic passenger inside!" Sideswipe explained.
"Interesting-Start heading back to us, we need to deal with a few Cybertronians who attacked TRF!" Optimus said.
"Roger that!"
"Prime out!" Optimus said before ending the transmission.
"Wait Sensei….We don't know where those Cybertronians are currently at!" Drift explained. At St. Louis, Missouri, Galvatron (disguised as a black and grey Freightliner Argosy truck) along with the Prototypes were driving towards to the city. Stinger (disguised as a red and black Pagani Huayra) along with a few Traxes (disguised as red, black and grey Chevrolet Traxes) were driving in front of Galvatron and were nearly running everybody over. All the prototypes stop moving and let the terrified humans walk near them to investigate, a few police cruisers even drove by the prototypes. "Damn those are some nice cars!" the police officer said. "Let's just arrest these street racers!" the other police officer said, "All right all of you exit your vehicles and put your hands in the air NOW!" The police officer said not knowing that the vehicles were prototypes with no passengers inside. "DID YOU HEAR ME?" The police officers continued yelling. "Seal off the city!" Galvatron said in vehicle mode, Stinger immediately molecularly transformed and fired at the police officers killing them instantly. The other prototypes transformed and began attacking the people living in the city.
"YES my brothers…..keep attacking those vile insects!" Galvatron said.
"Soon Optimus Prime will come to their aid and I will have my revenge!"
"An eye for an eye….Or in this case…A head for a head!" Galvatron said watching the prototypes taking over the city. Back in Detroit, Crosshairs drove back to Optimus, Hound and Drift to inform them of prototype's attack in St. Louis.
"Boss you're not going to believe this….Those Cybertronians we're heard about….well they're attacking a city!" Crosshairs explained to Optimus.
"By the Allspark-CROSSHAIRS lock on to those coordinates and head to city, we will follow you there. AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT!" Optimus shouted his battle cry as he along with the other three Autobots transformed into their vehicle modes with Cade hitching a ride from Hound. They began driving towards Missouri. It took a few days but the Autobots and Cade managed to arrive to St. Louis. "Jesus Christ!" Cade said shocked by the destruction Galvatron and his prototypes caused, while driving the Autobots would come across a Trax who was cutting down a few cars.
"Excuse me Soldier. (The Trax looked towards Optimus Prime.) Are you an Autobot or Decepticon?" Optimus asked the Trax who didn't reply but simply looked back. Crosshairs noticed a TRF symbol on the drone and found out that none of them are Cybertronians.
"IT'S NEITHER!" Crosshairs said transforming into robot mode and firing at the Trax prototype with his sub-machine guns. "None of them are Cybertronians, they're TRF creations!" Crosshairs explained and Hound immediately transformed into his robot mode and pulling out his mini-gun. "YES I finally get to rip off a few heads again!" Hound said excited to take out these prototypes. Galvatron molecularly transforms from truck and robot and lands on top of a building and sees Optimus Prime along with Hound, Crosshairs and Drift. "Finally-Brothers the Autobots are here….SHOOT THEM DOWN!" Galvatron said ordering the prototypes to attack. A few Traxes and Bosses fired at Optimus Prime causing him to transform into robot mode, one of the Traxes drives by and molecularly transforms into robot tackling Optimus and pinning him to the ground. Optimus retracts an energon wrist blade and decapitates the prototype. "Autobots….TAKE OUT THE PROTOTYPES! I will find the source behind their functionality!" Optimus said as he ran into the city. "Let's Rock!" Hound said running into the city with Optimus to fight off the prototypes, Drift transformed into robot mode and followed Crosshairs. "Cade go hide!" Drift told Cade to go hide as he immediately ran away to find cover.
"Alright posers….Let's dance!" Hound said firing his pistols at a few Bosses and take them out easily.
"You punks ain't so tough." Hound said disappointed by how easily they died. He then notices a dump truck (Junkheap) driving by and firing rockets at him. "STOP HIDING UNDER YOUR DISGUISE AND FIGHT LIKE A REAL BOT! (Hound said as the dump truck molecularly transformed into three Junkheap prototypes.) Oh Scrap." Hound said as the Junkheap drones fired at him, he dropped his pistols and landed to the ground. While recovering the Junkheap drones ran towards him and tackled him. "Ah…Ugh-GET OFF ME!" Hound tried to shake off the Junkheap drones but to no avail, he then pulled out his knife and stabbed one of the drones in the chest and pushing it off of him. "Take This!" Hound plunges his knife into the Junkheap prototype's face killing him instantly, Hound would then pull out four-barrel shotgun and fires at the other Junkheap prototype killing it. The final Junkheap prototype climbs up a building near Hound trying to avoid his firepower. Hound hears debris falling and the prototype's grunts from behind and immediately turns around firing at the prototype. Junkheap's left arm falls to the ground followed by the rest of his body. "Hehehe…That was easy. (A Two-Head prototype fires at Hound's head flipping his helmet off his head.) HEY!" Hound turns around a notices a Two-Head prototype behind him.
"Oh you want some hey…Well take this!" Hound pounces on the Two-Head Prototype knocking it to the ground. Far from Hound's battle with the prototypes, Optimus continues searching for the prototype's leader. He is suddenly attacked by Stinger and Dispenser who immediately pinned him down to the ground. Galvatron walks towards Optimus and grabs him by the lower jaw, "You don't know how long I've waited to for this day to come Prime!" Galvatron said. "Who. Are. You?" Optimus asked. "You will find out-If you survive…This massacre!" Galvatron said before dropping Optimus Prime's head to the ground and walking away.
"That voice-It sounds….familiar!" Optimus said being bruised by Stinger and Dispenser.
"Me….Meg…A...Megat…Ughf." Stinger slams Prime's head to the ground further injuring the Autobot leader. "Sensei!" Drift shouted as he and Crosshairs lunged at Stinger and Dispenser causing the two prototypes to retreat. "Boss are you alright?" Crosshairs asked. "I'm fine Crosshairs I'm-Fine!" Optimus said as he began getting up and saw Galvatron looking back at him. "Come on we need to go help Hound!" Crosshairs said, Optimus stopped focusing on Galvatron and shook his head, the three Autobots then charged to help Hound. Hound has become exhausted he was being cornered by the last remaining Traxes and Bosses. Junkheap and all of the Two-heads have been eliminated. "HOUND!" Optimus yelled getting the Autobot Commando's attention while firing at the prototypes, Hound got up and ran towards Optimus and the other two Autobots.
"What do we do Boss?" Hound asked, Optimus didn't reply as he kept firing at the Traxes that were cornering him, he managed to hit one but only blow off its left arm.
"Hound, you still have a grenade?" Crosshairs asked.
"Never used any of them!" Hound replied back to Crosshairs.
"Grab three and give me one!" Crosshairs said, Hound pulled out two grenades and threw one towards Hound, he then picked up another grenade. "Pull the pins and throw the grenades under the count of three!" Crosshairs said as the prototypes charged at the Autobots. "1…2…3!" Hound and Crosshairs pulled the pins and threw the grenades in front of the prototypes. "TAKE COVER!" Optimus yelled as the four Autobots moved back and crouched to the ground. The grenades blew up and killed the remaining prototypes. The blast managed to knock the Autobots off their feet and destroyed a few more buildings. Galvatron saw this from a far and retreat with Stinger and Dispenser. "We shall meet again Prime for I am reborn!" Galvatron said as he molecularly transformed into a truck and drove off with Stinger and Dispenser. The Autobots got up after the explosion and shook off the dust and the debris that landed on their chassis.
"Are they dead?" Hound asked.
"Looks like it!" Crosshairs replied.
"Although I think we might have missed three prototypes!" Crosshairs said slightly concerned and annoyed.
"Uh…Great!" Hound replied as he kicked one of the dead prototypes.
"Hey Prime. Do you think humans will stop hunting us now after what just happened?" Crosshairs asked.
"Crosshairs I do not know. But I certainly hope that this battle will prove to the locals of this planet that we are fighting for their freedom and for their lives!" Optimus said to Crosshairs hoping that humans will now accept them. The conversation about the humans reminded Drift that he told Cade to go hide and is now worried about where he is.
"Wait where is Cade?" Drift asked with a concerned tone in his voice. Optimus lifted his head and looked concerned until….
"Guys I'm here!" Cade ran towards the Autobots.
"Oh Thank the Seven Primes!" Drift said happy that the human is alive.
"Optimus I have something important to tell you!" Cade said to Optimus.
"What is it Cade?" Optimus replied asking.
"After the leader of those prototypes walked away from you, I followed him and I noticed him doing something to his own arm. With his eyes he began scanning a symbol onto his arm but it looks like the symbol you guys have!" Cade explained.
"So what you're trying to say human is that these were Decepticons?" Crosshairs asked.
"I knew there was something familiar about their leader! My Autobots I fear that one of the prototypes was built using parts that belonged…..To Megatron!" Optimus said realizing that Galvatron is in fact the recently deceased Megatron. Unknown to them that a Cybertronian disguised a dark grey 2013 Lamborghini Aventador was spying on them
