Chapter 3
"Grimlock, you are here!" A blue and red truck drives in with exhaust blowing like crazy. It transforms into the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. "You are late!" Grimlock snarls, his heavy clamping foot on Megatron's throat. "Leaving your poor soldiers and warriors to fight without you, huh? Where's that team spirit?" "I had to deal with Bonecrusher. He almost destroyed the convoy on the way to Mission City." reasons Optimus. Grimlock growls and grumbles for a bit. Optimus knows that it is a little awkward to meet an old warrior that he had dismissed so long time ago. But when it comes to fighting Decepticons, they would be even, no matter what grudge one had with the other. Grimlock turns to his former commander.
"Don't think I forgot that you kicked us Dinobots out just because we disobeyed orders by attacking the Decepticons with Shockwave still sitting ducks. If we had followed your orders, Shockwave wouldn't be disabled and Protihex wouldn't have been won! And you all will be slaves of the puny Decepticons, licking their dirt and grime!" With that, Grimlock presses his foot down on Megatron, making him winch all the more. "If it weren't for Ratchet, you all would be as good as dead! Courtesy of this tin can, Megatron!" "OK, Grimlock. I shouldn't have been so hard on you and the Dinobots." Optimus says grimly. "Your actions did help us win the battle of Protihex. However, many Autobots were killed when they tried to get you back." Before Grimlock could answer, Swoop says, "Hey Prime, we told them not to bother about us although we would be knocking on Shockwave's door. And they still did. They are the stubborn ones, not us. They don't know that the Dinobots are the Dinobots!" The other Dinobots roar and cheer.
An injured Bumblebee with his legs badly damaged makes a wheeze and points at the malevolent Decepticons advancing towards them. Sludge and Snarl simply slam their fists on the ground, creating an earthquake-like effect. This violent tremour sends the baddies flying into buildings, cafes and Starbucks hangouts. Grimlock grabs Megatron with his powerful primal jaws and sent him flying into a tall glass building with a sign saying 'Welcome to Mark and Spencer's'. The colossal tyrant slams into the pile of stone dominoes, destroying half the building upon impact and the entire pavement in front of the new store. Shoppers scream as they run like rats from a cat as they exit the destroyed store pass the dazed Megatron. A smart dressed man in a neat black suit dashes out of the broken door, shouting, "Don't go away! It's the store's first day!" He is obviously the owner of his unfortunate property. Then he sees Megatron propping his leg on the road in front, crushing a Mercedes Benz car in the process of doing so. Needless to say, the boss's next reaction is to start screaming and following the frightened crowd in its attempt to get away from the giant monster that is Megatron.
"Well done, Grimlock. Well done!" applauds Slag. Just then, the almost forgotten human ally, Sam appears on the scene with the Allspark. Unfortunately, Megatron sees his bounty in a thrice. "Give that to me, boy!" roars the Decepticon leader. Sam runs off towards Grimlock, who has transformed into his equally terrifying robot mode. "Don't worry, human. I'll deal with this scrap metal junk-head." Grimlock says, unsheathing his towering energo sword. It blazes with fire as Grimlock approaches Megatron. Megatron growls and transform into his deadly jet mode and flies towards the Dinobot leader. But Slag simply takes out a pistol and one shot from his metal-melting gun is all it takes to bring Megatron crashing from the ground.
But Megatron is not one to be easily defeated. While Ratchet scoops Sam up and zooms off to safety with Optimus Prime, Megatron transforms into his jet mode once more and is about to take off into the skies to start raining hail on the Autobots and the humans. But Grimlock transform into his colossal robot mode, to the gasps of Lennox and Witwicky and pulls out his flaming energo sword, He throws it at Megatron, slicing off his wings and the head of Blackout who is approaching them from behind Megatron. Wingless, Megatron roars with fury. "Decepticons, Plan B." His voice deepens with cruelty as a far more colossal giant appears with a tumble of skyscrapers and buildings. This Decepticon, the result of the combination of multiple Constructicons knows only one word-'smash'. "Devastator! Everyone get away!" shouts Ironhide. He combines his plasma cannon with his smart bomb launcher into a mega-bazooka and fires it at Devastator's head. A volcanic projectile soars towards the mouth of this giant, but all Devastator has to do is to swallow it as if it were a piece of candy for a human child. "You piece of junk." curse Ironhide.
Ratchet hauls the wounded Bumblebee away from the path of the monster. Sam is surprised to see how strong Ratchet actually is. "Hey Sam!" says Optimus Prime. "Get out of here. It's going to be tough." With that, he fire his barrage cannon at Devastator, but two plutonium shells aren't enough to even break a chunk of exostructure off the tough Devastator. In response to that, Devastator gets mad and activates his sucking vortex. At first a purr comes out, then all hell breaks out. It is as if a tornado had hit Mission City. Cars and military vehicles are taken into the air and sent into the jaws of Devastator. They are pulverised and turned into molten remains to be transported to the sinews of Devastator. Optimus and Ironhide, the only Autobots not retreating besides the Dinobots can only hang onto the steady pillars of a stony McDonald's restaurant. The poor Ronald McDonald figure at the door is rooted out from the ground into the air and end up cut to pieces by Devastator's ferocious grinding motors. Even a small penthouse nearby is blown to bits when Devastator directs his vortex at it. Everything is consumed, roof and all.
"OK, that's enough!" Grimlock shouts. "Swoop, distract him by flying over his tin can head. Sludge and Snarl, get some explosive materials like oil trucks for this Devastator. Slag, start shooting his arse. Meanwhile, I give him a taste of Dinobot fire." Megatron who is crouching nearby at a garage, not wanting to be caught in Devastator's path frowns. Fire? Wasn't Grimlock fiery enough?
To answer to Megatron's doubts, Sludge brings out a squarish metal object with a large cylinder at one end and some rockets at the sides. He attaches it onto Grimlock, who is in dinosaur mode. "Alright, let's send this piece of junk metal to outer space." He then connects some wires to the object from his back and the cylinder, pointing towards the ground, roars with flames, incinerating a nearby hot dog stand and revealing that it is a jetpack. Now Optimus Prime and Ironhide are clearly interested in what Ironhide will do next. Devastator stops sucking things up and turns to Grimlock. Slag shoots his eyes, turning them to molten metal. The beast screams with rage and attempts to find Slag with his anchor claw. But Sludge throws a Mercedes Benz at it and it blows up instantly like a grenade, denting the claw. "OK, let's do this." Grimlock fumes just as the jetpack vomits flames like a volcano and his body is covered in an inferno.
