It was not long before Galvatron returned to Unicron with his shoulder piece. When it did arrive, Unicron extended a tendril from the base of his neck and connected it to the servo, like a power cable into an outlet. Unicron's mouth twisted into a sort of demented smile.
"Excellent work, Galvatron." said the head, "Keep this up and I might send some Sweeps to take some of the load off of your shoulders."
"What will happen when I complete your body?" said Galvatron.
"You will be given as much power as a Blendtron, as I call my heralds since they are a blend of multiple different species, can attain. You will not be nearly as powerful as I, but your friends will still see your power as godlike. Anymore questions or would you like to resume your search?"
"One more, you mentioned Cyclonus and Scourge."
"And?"
"I knew them. They were some of my finest warriors. But they were on Cybertron while it was being bridged, so how could you have recruited them as you were asleep?"
"My disciple, The Fallen, judged which Decepticons would continue life beyond death as Blendtrons and which wouldn't before his unfortunate demise. Cyclonus and Scourge were among those chosen. Would you wish to see them?"
"Not now, but yes. That is all the information I sought. I will resume my search, Master."
Optimus looked at his tracker for the seventh time to confirm that Galvatron was not appearing on it. He was confused, exasperated, and angry, for there should be some kind of energy signature.
"Maybe he's just out of range." said Optimus, "Roadbuster, prepare the shuttles."
"Roger that." said Roadbuster, who, along with many other Transformers, was returned from hyperspace along with Cybertron. Roadbuster and his partners, Leadfoot and Topspin, drove off to prepare the ships.
