EPILOGUE
Megatron never did completely heal from his wounds that solar cycle, but he was kept online by Blueberry's AllSpark fragment, stuck fast in his spark chamber. However, he did make a very good recovery, and won many battles thereafter. He never got his old cannon back, but he did receive a newer, bigger, and more powerful cannon (sold to him by a certain very pleased weapons dealer).
To no one's surprise, Blitzwing and Blackarachnia did not marry out of wedlock. Instead, once Hotwire (the baby) was born, he was raised by the whole crew. Blueberry loved him like a baby brother. Hotwire grew up to become the team's medic.
Soon after the final battle, Tomato gladly accepted an offer to be Megatron's second-in-command. The two of them were almost equal partners in battle, due to the unbreakable ties they had developed because of all they had been through together. Tomato had finally achieved his dream—to fight fiercely for the Decepticon cause.
Blueberry, meanwhile, graduated from University of Crystal City with a degree in science. Her old lab partner, squeamish as he was, did not graduate, but Blueberry rose through the ranks and ended up being Wheeljack's lab partner. Wheeljack felt like a brother to Blueberry. Wheeljack's love of gadgets, combined with Blueberry's scientific curiosity, led them to achieve many revolutionary innovations. They worked directly under Perceptor, the head scientist.
Carjack, upon learning that he was dismissed from Blueberry's father's training squad, became infuriated and attacked his former commander; Blueberry's father, not faced with a challenge, proceeded to wipe up the floor with Carjack. The rebellious 'bot was then thrown into the stockades for fifty stellar cycles on the charges of assaulting an Elite Guard officer—but not before getting zapped by Wheeljack's new Cosmotron.
After Blueberry joined the Elite Guard's head science crew, she and Tomato got married. They were soon blessed with Violet, who was the most adorable sparkling they had ever met and the sweetest, too. Violet lived on the Elite Guard ship with her mother and grandparents, but enjoyed frequent visits from her loving father.
Tomato, Blueberry, and Wheeljack's major scientific goal, however, was to restore Cybertron to the thriving planet it had once been. They knew this achievement was a long way away, but they never stopped working towards it. After all, as Blueberry put it, they were all in it together, and every Transformer knows that it's the journey that counts.
