Cybertron, One year before Paris Invasion

Vehicon 5T4RK muttered to himself as he walked down the halls of Kaon. He was given a scrapload of holowork and was just ready to explode and complain about it. "I got all this holo stuff and-" he muttered before turning a corner. He then noticed a box that said Suggestion Box. "Huh," he went looking at it for a moment before walking toward it. "Alright, yeah... Okay..." 5T4RK said to himself as he began to write on the paper. He had just put the datapad into the box when Megatron suddenly appeared.

"Hello there," He greeted, startling the Vehicon easily. He then looked at the box and pointed at it. "I see you've used my suggestion box," he noted, the smile on his face never leaving.

"What? No!" 5T4RK replied, waving his servos around as he tried to deny his involvement, hoping it would save him. "I was just walking and-!"

Megatron simply made a light chuckle and said, "Don't worry, it's completely anonymous. Why just about any of these suggestions could be yours..." The Decepticon leader grabbed the box and shook it until a single datapad fell out. "Let's see what we have here..." he told himself as he picked up the pad. "See, army morale is very important." He then began reading the suggestion out loud. "More Engex in the mess hall..."

"Well sir," The Vehicon began, "Sometimes there's just no Energon and-"

"WHO THE FRAG DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Megatron suddenly screamed, pointing his fusion cannon at the unfortunate Vehicon. 5T4RK could only scream before he was blasted into oblivion.

ST3V3 and C0SM0 watched on in horror as their comrade was sent offline. "He's dead!" C0SM0 whispered to ST3V3 about the status of their fallen comrade.

"I know," he whispered back, "Shut up." Megatron stopped chuckling as he turned his attention to the other Vehicons.

"You know I'm really glad that we're doing this," Megatron remarked, waving towards the remains of the Vehicon he just casually murdered. "It's important that none of you feel like drones." He then noticed another Vehicon walking down the hall and said, "You there, Drone!"

The Vehicon pointed himself, "Me?"

Megatron smiled as he pointed toward the box. "Would you like to add your two senses to the suggestion box?" ST3V3 and C0SM0 tried their best to prevent their brother in arms from meeting a bad end. An effort that was all for naught.

"Sure!" The Vechicon replied in a happy tone. He walked up to the suggestion box and wrote what he wanted down.

But before he could put it in the box, Megatron grabbed it and said, "I'll take that!" He looked at the paper and read it out loud. "You're doing a great job," he read. "Ahhhh..." The Decepticon leader went as he seemed flattered by the compliment.

"Well it's true," The Vehicon blushed.

"THAT IS NOT A SUGGESTION!" Megatron suddenly exclaimed, pointing his cannon at the mech.

"Oh, dear..." The Vehicon sighed as he too met the same end.

Megatron chuckled as he turned toward the duo. "Can you believe that guy?"

"Lord Megatron, sir," ST3V3 said, unsure of his own fate. "It's great that you're open to suggestions and all..."

Megaton smiled as he said, "Yes great. I am great..." Then ST3V3 gave it to him.

"But you're killing everyone who suggests anything!" He pointed out hoping Megatron would understand.

Megatron shook his head with a confused looked on his face, "I don't follow..." Another Vehicon suddenly showed up, causing the Decepticon leader to suddenly say, " Hey oh, dead mech walking!"

When the Vehicon approached the box, he noticed Megatron and said, "I thought this was supposed to be anonymous" Megatron simply laughed and took two too steps back. "Okay..." As the Vehicon kept writing, he didn't notice Megatron slowly take out his fusion cannon until he put the note into the box. "Oh SCRAP!" he screamed before a hole made through his spark chamber.

"You didn't even read his suggestion!" ST3V3 exclaimed, his optics filled with horror.

Megatron simply shrugged at his response. "Well, I'm sure it was terrible anyway." He lifted the pad and read it out loud for the two to hear. "Fewer random offlinings..." he waved it off and said, "See? Ridiculous!"

C0SM0 stepped forward, "Why did you even put up a suggestion box!?!"

"It was a suggestion from a valued comrade," Megatron replied with a neutral tone in his voice. "May Archforce rust in peace..."

"Forgive me, Lord Megatron," C0SM0 stated, showing his feelings about the matter, "But if you want your soldiers to respect you then maybe you should listen to them, or at least not offline them, you know." That's what being the Emperor of Destruction is all about."

"Wow," Megatron realized, his face now in a state of deep thought.

"Yeah..." C0SM0 said, hoping it got through to him.

"I never really thought of it that way..." Megatron said to himself out loud.

"Oh, thank you..." C0SM0 replied as he started to feel a little proud of himself.

"Truly a great... suggestion." The Mechanical Warlord said, a smile forming on his face.

"You know it's funny," C0SM0 commented, "I was just- Oh, frag." He realized what he just did as Megatron began charging up his Fusion Cannon to fire.
