Chapter 30: Bigotry and Discrimination
At the Devastator, Doomsayer was meditating in his quarters when he was getting flashbacks of his dark childhood memories such as the abuse he got from his father Megatronus Prime a.k.a The Fallen before the Thirteen Original Primes had him punished for killing his lover Solus Prime who wasn't even Doomsayer's mother.
(Flashback)
"Who are you? And why are you in my fortress?!" The Fallen asked in an angry tone of voice.
"My name is Doomsayer...and I am your son." A young Doomsayer introduced himself.
The Fallen made a quiet gasp of shock and disbelief before he became even more indignant than before. "That's impossible! You can't possibly be my metal and Energon!" he said in full denial. But Doomsayer would not stop trying to convince The Fallen that he was his long-lost sparkling.
"You remember my mother, Nightblade. Right?" Doomsayer asked. The Fallen raised an eyebrow, "Nightblade?" he asked. The evil Prime paused before he slowly but surely remembered his former accomplice and ex-lover. "Ohh, yes...I remember that hat glitch. She seduced me and she persuaded me to cheat on my beloved Solus Prime by fragging her!" The Fallen recalled before his hateful expression returned as he looked at Doomsayer.
"But you can't be my son! You hardly even have my color scheme! I don't see the resemblance! You must be mistaking me for your actual father!" The Fallen scowled at Doomsayer.
"But I AM your son! Come on, look at us! You are my REAL father! I am a part of you!" Doomsayer explained. "Please, father. Accept me!" He begged as he desperately wanted his father to believe what he is saying to him.
Without a warning, Megatronus Prime punched Doomsayer hard on his faceplate, causing sparks and even his own Energon to fly out of his mouth. Doomsayer fell to the floor in pain and agony as he was shocked to have been stricken down by his kin. The Fallen then proceeded to kick Doomsayer hard on the chest while he was down. Then he grabbed Doomsayer by his wings and threw him across the room where Doomsayer hit a wall that nearly broke his entire body.
Doomsayer made painful and dreadful noises as he struggled to get up without feeling any pain in his body. It was as if The Fallen had beaten his win son nearly at the inch of his life. Doomsayer fell onto his knees and wept. The Fallen's dark shadow loomed over him before he glared at the young bot with his flaming red optics. Then the Fallen grabbed Doomsayer by the throat before telling him, "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! I want nothing to do with a lying and insolent child like you!"
Doomsayer coughed up Energon before The Fallen threw him to the ground hard and nearly broke his entire body, traumatizing and hurting him in the process. After Doomsayer ran away from The Fallen, he was later hospitalized for what he had done to hurt his son. Doomsayer was spark broken that Megatronus Prime had denied and rejected his sparkling. After 5 months, Doomsayer would heal but then his spark would grow dark after days of suffering from the trauma inflicted on him by The Fallen. It was then that Doomsayer went over to his mother, Nightblade, his stepfather, Starquake, and his half-brother, Lazerdrive, before he drew out his new blaster from his right hand...and began to slaughter his mother and stepfather.
"Doomsayer! What are you doing? DON'T! AAAAAAAAGHHH!" Nightblade shrieked as Doomsayer shot her in the spark chamber.
(Flashback ends)
Doomsayer opened his red optics as he was done meditating and reminiscing on the day his father rejected him violently and the day he killed his mother and step-father in front of his half-brother afterward before the Thirteen Original Primes had The Fallen banished to an alternate dimension where it became his prison.
As Doomsayer got up, he decided to watch the news on Earth where he found out about the US President, Gabriel J. Henderson, making a speech saying that all Cybertronians are a threat to humanity and how Adam Bowen and the newly rebooted M.E.C.H promised to get the Autobots off the face of the Earth since everyone in the United States blames them for the Decepticons who had captured and even killed citizens of Boise, Idaho.
Doomsayer made a weird smirk as he had an idea. If M.E.C.H and the US Government want to rid the Earth of Autobots, then he and his New Decepticons will have to strike a deal with them or even make an exchange with them if they are willing to team up with them to give them what they want from each other. Once Doomsayer left his quarters, he walked past the hallway with many New Decepticons bowing before him before he made it to the throne room where he decided to announce to his followers.
"Attention, New Decepticons! I have an important announcement to make!"
The New Decepticons including Starscream and the Inner Circle looked to their leader with curiosity.
"Now I'm sure you all remember the humans and how we've managed to get them to pin the blame on our enemies, the Autobots, after enslaving them, after killing and making specimens out of them, and after using them as bait to get to the Autobots. Well, their "US President", Gabriel J. Henderson has declared that all Cybertronians including us are a threat to humanity." Doomsayer said before he continued, "However, I've heard about this human military force that used to be a terrorist organization that wanted to obtain Cybertronian technology and biology known as M.E.C.H and their new founder and leader, Adam Bowen, says that he'll do everything in his power to keep us off the face of the Earth. However, I have a plan. We can convince Adam and M.E.C.H to help us destroy Autobots while also making an exchange. If they help us, then we will give them our Cybertronian technology and we will give them a fake promise to rid their world of our species."
Skywarp raised his hand servo, "My lord, what makes you think that we can trust these humans to cooperate with us in destroying our mortal enemies?" he asked.
"Need I remind you that we have gathered reinforcements such as the Predacons and the Insecticons as well as many other Decepticons who are willing to join our cause in finding and freeing our lord and master, Unicron." Doomsayer replied. "Trust me, my friends. I know what I'm planning to do. We'll give them what they want if they give us what we want first. If we give them our technology, then perhaps we'll convince Adam and M.E.C.H to build themselves a man-made Cybertronian. After all, Starscream DID once told me before that M.E.C.H and their former founder and leader Silas created a duplicate of Optimus Prime." he mentioned.
Crossfire, Astrocharge, and Motorstrike stepped out of the crowd of New Decepticons, Predacons, and Insecticons and they spoke to their master.
"Lord Doomsayer. We have some great news." Crossfire said. "And what is the great news, my friends?" Doomsayer asked. The Inner Circle paused before one of them answered. "Megatron is no more," Astrocharge answered. Doomsayer was surprised, but he was also unconvinced. "Really?" he asked. "Yes, really, Master," Crossfire replied. "How? How is it that my loyal followers managed to destroy our former master?" Doomsayer asked.
"We threw an untested serum at Megatron while we were fighting him at the docks when we attacked that human city. We saw him melt before our very optics. Boy, did he not stand a chance against us?" Motorstrike boasted.
"LIES!" Starscream yelled. "You don't have the proof that Megatron is offline! And need I remind you three that Megatron is my fight and his death belongs to me!" he said.
"SILENCE!" Doomsayer yelled in a demonic voice, unleashing purple Dark Energon electricity from his hands, causing his followers to grovel before him. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE MANAGED TO "KILL" MEGATRON OR WHATEVER! THAT TRAITOR BELONGS TO EITHER ME OR STARSCREAM!" Doomsayer huffed and calmed himself down a bit before saying, "And if it's true that you three managed to kill our former master, then WHY in the Pits of Kaon does the Dark Energon within my spark still feels the connection between Megatron and Unicron's Anti-Spark? If I am correct, Megatron might've survived when you three attacked him."
Crossfire, Astrocharge, Motorstrike, and even Starscream were now shocked and angry. "You mean that Megatron's spark is still beating?!" Crossfire exclaimed. "But how?! That serum that we threw at Megatron melted his entire body. Unless he's become a Terrorcon." Motorstrike shuttered at the thought of a zombie Megatron.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE'S ALIVE OR NOT!" Doomsayer roared before he ordered Scourge, "Scourge! Prepare to drive the Devastator and track down M.E.C.H's military base. I've got Adam's number and I look forward to making a deal with him.
June Darby was doing chores around her house when she decided to sit down and watch TV, but when she changed the channel, she came across the news talking about the disappearances of US citizens and the US President declaring all Cybertronians an alien threat to humanity, much to her discomfort.
"This just in: 480 US citizens have been abducted and 70 have been killed by robot alien invaders who call themselves either "The New Decepticons" or "The Autobots". It was then that the President of the United States himself, Gabriel J. Henderson has declared that all of these giant, alien, transforming robots are a threat to humanity." the news reporter lady said in the TV screen.
"This is not good," June said to herself as she knew that someday, the world would know about the Autobots and Decepticons or any other Cybertronian who were either hiding or not hiding on Earth. It was then that Megatron went outside the guest room and he eavesdropped on June as she sat and watch the bad news on the TV screen.
Megatron could feel the negative feeling as June Darby herself was starting to fear that her son, Jack Darby, and his fiancé, Miko Nakadai, or even Rafael Esquivel and Agent Folwer and his secret agents might eventually get in trouble with the US army or become fugitives for being allied with the Autobots.
"President Henderson says that the new founder and head of a once terrorist organization now remade into an anti-Cybertronian military force called, M.E.C.H will surely put a stop to these alien robot invaders to keep our country safe. Adam Bowen says that he and his troops will do everything they can in their military might to have the enemy exterminated from the USA and to get them off our planet. Colonel Bown even swears that if these Autobots and New Decepticons refuse to leave Earth and leave humanity alone, then he, M.E.C.H and the military will have to ban them all or destroy them all if they don't listen to us."
That last part that the news lady said on the TV was enough to make Megatron growl in anger, which startled June as she didn't expect to hear or see him outside of the guest bedroom as she then turned around and saw Megatron clenching his fists.
"Megatron!?" June exclaimed.
"So...humanity has decided that they don't want our help," Megatron said bitterly.
"That's not true. They just don't realize that Doomsayer and his New Decepticons are the real enemies, not the Autobots who are trying to protect our world." June explained.
"Look at me, June. I was the Decepticon warlord who tried to Cyberform Earth with the Omega Lock many years ago. Do you not remember that moment in time where I nearly destroyed all of humanity?!" Megatron asked.
"I do remember, Megatron. But you're not evil anymore, are you?" June asked. Megatron paused before he tried to calm himself down a bit as he took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Darby. I wish that I could help my son and the Autobots save humanity from Doomsayer and his hordes, but I only wished that Optimus Prime was here. I cannot prevent a Second Great War without him. We do not even know what this war will bring. It might bring forth the end of Earth and Cybertron if Doomsayer was to succeed in finding the Reliquary of the Allspark that contains Unicron and his Anti-Spark." Megatron told June.
June gently held Megatron's hand and she told him, "I miss Optimus Prime too and I wish he were here to see my son get married to Miko. But I'm not sure if Jack's wedding will be happening next year or so. As for Adam Bowen, we don't know anything about him. But from what Agent Fowler told me while I was on the phone with him earlier this noon, he found out that Adam intended to reboot M.E.C.H from a terrorist organization into an anti-Cybertronian military organization for the US and Colonel Bowen even stated in the news article that he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake as Silas did when he created a duplicate of Optimus Prime and tried to use Cybertronian biology for whatever evil plan he had in mind before he met his demise." she finished.
Megatron heard the name 'Silas' and he remembered him as the human who dissected Breakdown and how Silas and his terrorist organization, M.E.C.H were enemies with the Autobots and secret agent William Fowler. He recalled the time when M.E.C.H attempted to revive their founder by putting him inside of Breakdown's lifeless body before being destroyed by Silas when he wanted to 'serve' Megatron. The ex-warlord then recalled the time when he ordered Knock Out to turn Silas into a lab rat at his dissection table after Silas himself failed to destroy Bulkhead and the Autobots and even failed to 'serve' him as a human-turned-Decepticon.
"I'll never forget that one moment in time when I had Silas put in Knock Out's dissection table while he was inside of Breakdown's lifeless body like a parasite," Megatron recalled. "I should've blasted him and his human terrorist organization to slag when I had the chance. That way, Adam Bowen wouldn't have taken over as its new founder long after Silas betrayed and killed his army. Breakdown would still be alive if I actually cared about saving his spark from M.E.C.H and even Airachnid." he said with a bit of remorse in his voice.
June Darby looked at Megaron and she could tell that he felt wrong about not caring for Breakdown's well-being. "We cannot change the past...but we can learn from it. Agent Fowler didn't know that eventually, someone would take over M.E.C.H and become its new founder. Also, if you cared for Knock Out's late partner, then why didn't you care for Breakdown's safety?" she asked.
"It's because I once followed the ancient code: that the strong survive and the weak perish. I didn't save Breakdown because I was still ruthless, and merciless...and I let my spark grow dark. I was so full of hatred and sorrow that I've forgotten that Breakdown was the caregiver of my son and that both he and Knock Out were the sires of their son, Wildbreak." Megatron explained.
"Wait, hold on. Breakdown and Knock Out have a son? Were they more than partners?" June asked with a surprised look on her face. Megatron nodded, "Yes. Breakdown was Knock Out's conjunx-endura and Wildbreak's carrier before he became one with the Allspark. Wildbreak was named after a Stunticon named, 'Wildrider' before he moved out of his creator's home and joined the other Stunticons during the Great War. My son, Orion Eclipse, was close friends with Wildbreak...and it breaks my spark knowing that he probably won't remember the earlier days of his childhood when he befriended Wildbreak as a sparkling." Megatron told June.
Meanwhile, Agent William Fowler was at home with his wife, Beyonce, and his son, Jacob when he heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it, honey!" William told his wife. But when he opened the door, he was shocked to see M.E.C.H soldiers pointing guns at him. "FREEZE! You're under arrest for treason!" one M.E.C.H soldier shouted in a threatening tone. "Treason?! What the sam hill is this?!" William exclaimed.
"Honey?! What's going on?" Beyonce Fowler asked her husband, concerned and confused as to who was at their doorstep. William was about to rush to get his wife and their son to safety when he was pepper sprayed, apprehended, and then arrested by M.E.C.H. There was nothing that Beyonce would do. She would not call the police because M.E.C.H was on their side since President Henderson entrusted them and their new founder, Colonel Adam Bowen to exterminate the Autobots.
After Agent William Fowler got arrested, Beyonce and Jake were saddened and concerned for him. At M.E.C.H's new headquarters at a military camp, Agent Fowler was put in a chair with his arms handcuffed behind his back and was in an interrogation room where Colonel Bowen was expecting to see the secret agent who is friends with the Autobots.
"Agent William Fowler. How nice for you to be here with us?" Adam said.
"Adam Bowen?!" William exclaimed. "Why did you bring me here?!" he asked worriedly.
"Good question. You know, Mr. Fowler, my men and I have learned a lot about you and your secret agents and how you've been allying with these so-called "Autobots" and "Decepticons" for quite some time. We've heard on the news about how Jasper, Nevada was destroyed because of these giant alien robots who pose a threat to our planet." Adam began.
"Listen, the-" William was about to say, but then Adam yelled at him for interrupting him, "I wasn't finished! President Gabriel Henderson and the US government hired me and my new version of M.E.C.H to exterminate these giant robots and because you and your secret agents happen to be allied with them, you are a traitor to humanity!" Colonel Bowen told his captive.
"Am I?! Silas was the original founder of M.E.C.H and they were the traitors to humanity! The Decepticons are the enemy, not the Autobots!" Agent Fowler told Adam Bowen. "I don't think we were properly introduced. I am Colonel Adam Bowen. I'm the new founder and leader of M.E.C.H and I'm here to get these damn alien robot monstrosities off our planet. I'm not going to repeat the same mistake as Leland Bishop did when he tried to steal the biology and the technology from these alien robots-"
"They're called Cybertronians! They're not just alien robots!" Agent Fowler corrected. Adam slaps William hard in the face. "QUIET! What I mean to say is, that I will NOT repeat the same mistake that cost Leland his life when he tried to create a robot army out of "Cybertronian" biology and technology for him and the old M.E.C.H to dominate the world. But now that I have replaced him and I've rebooted M.E.C.H from a terrorist organization to a military force that is now meant to protect and serve our planet." Adam Bowen said as he finished monologing.
"You're insane! How can you transform M.E.C.H, a dead terrorist organization into an anti-Cybertronian military force for the government?!" Agent Fowler asked.
"Why the answer is simple. I bought M.E.C.H and recreated it after Silas and his men died because they failed to create man-made robots. But we? We will use our technology and weaponry to eradicate these "Transformers" that threaten to destroy our planet. Now my men and I only brought you here to our base to ask you some questions...Who are these Autobots and Decepticons? What do they want from us? Why are they here? Where do they come from and where exactly are these "Cybertronians" hiding?" Adam asked.
"I'm not giving these answers to you, Bowen!" William Fowler yelled. "The government wants answers and so does the President of the United States. If you won't tell us where these robotic giant freaks come from or where they're hiding, then...we'll just have to put you in a cell until you give us answers." Adam replied. "Forget it! I'll never tell you where the Autobots are! And I sure as hell don't know where the Decepticons are." William said before he spits at Adam and that made him angry as he then punched Agent Fowler in the face, causing his lip to bleed.
"Very well. Lock him up." Adam Bowen ordered his soldiers before they took Agent Fowler to his jail cell. Luckily, before M.E.C.H arrested Agent Fowler, he left a voice message for the Autobots to hear in case of an emergency.
The humans on Earth would continue to blame the Autobots for the Boise, Idaho attacks and the disappearance of humans which Doomsayer and his army abducted and made into wet specimens for their cruel experimentations. US President Gabriel J. Henderson would make xenophobic and racist speeches about the Autobots on the news since apparently, Doomsayer got the humans to blame and hate on them for his and his army's terrorist crimes on Earth.
Meanwhile, Jonathan invites June and Megatron (still in his human form) to a bar for an outing where Megatron starts to bond and develop a crush on June before he decides that he should just be friends with Mrs. Darby when he remembered his promise never to love again after the loss of his beloved Firestar. After spending time with his new human friends, Megatron gets confronted by Jack Darby.
"You!" he said in an angry tone of voice as he confronted Megatron, still in his human form. "Jackson," Megatron said as he called Jack by his full first name. "I'm giving you a warning, Megatron: stay away from my mother! I know what you're really up to with that sick mind of yours!" Jack said to Megatron. The ex-warlord was confused, "What are you talking about? Why are you being so defensive of your mother?" he asked.
Jack Darby answered, "Because she's the only family I have left aside from Miko and Arcee! And I don't want some guy to lay a hand on my mother. Let alone a Cybertronian." he said. "Jack, I'm on your side now. I am no longer an evil Decepticon warlord. Your mother and I are not dating." Megatron assured the young man.
But Jack didn't believe Megatron, "Yet you were making goo-goo eyes with her after she saved your sorry butt from Starscream! Not to mention that my mom has been becoming a little more attracted to you too!" he said. "Jack, I promise you that your mom and I are not in a relationship. Plus, I have no idea that your mom was smitten with me," said Megatron. Jack sighed, "Okay. Though I did find it really odd that my mom had the hots for Optimus Prime that one time like many years ago when she said that she wore heels and everything for him." he recalled.
Megatron was startled when Jack mentioned that his mom had a crush on Optimus Prime once, "Wait, what? Clearly, your mother doesn't know that Optimus Prime was already married to Elita-One before he became one with the Allspark. Though, I find it very odd that she would have feelings for any Cybertronian, let alone a Prime."
Jack Darby glared at Megatron, "Still, I don't want you near my mother. Because even though you are not evil anymore, I still don't trust you." he told the ex-warlord. Megatron sighed before he told Jack about him and June, "I understand, Jackson. I like your mother, but only as a friend now, because I already lost my conjunx-endura and if anyone found out that your mom and I were a thing, then they would go after her to get to me. Your mother and I have a lot in common since we're both single parents." he explained. "And I've already met your son and he's a pretty nice bot." Jack replied, "Though I find it odd that you would name him after Optimus Prime when he was known as Orion Pax." he said.
Megatron answered, "I intended to name my son after the brotherhood I once shared with Optimus when he was my brother-in-arms. By the way, did you know that I adopted Smokescreen as a surrogate son?" he asked. "Oh, just like you did last time? Yes, Smokescreen told me that you made amends with him and he even told me how Orion Eclipse was happy to have an Autobot friend as his surrogate brother." Jack told Megatron.
Megatron tried to sympathize with June's son as he told him, "Jack, I know that your mother raised you after your father abandoned you both and I know that you've been through a lot of danger with my Decepticons, including Airachnid and the Insecticon Hive." he said. "Don't. Bring up. My dad. Or Airachnid." Jack told Megatron in a low voice. "Apologies, Mr. Darby. To be quite honest with you, even if I did start dating your mother, then I would find it very odd and awkward to have June as a sparkmate and to have you as a stepson." Megatron explained.
Jack Darby was disgusted with the idea of an ex-warlord as his stepfather before he warned the human Megatron, "Then don't even think about putting the moves on my mom, Megatron. I don't even need a step-father. Let alone an evil step-father." he said. "I'm not evil anymore! I'm a Neutral now." Megatron raised his voice. "Sorry." Jack apologized. "No need to apologize, Jackson. If anyone should be apologizing it's me. I'm the one who nearly caused the death of your friend, Rafael, and...I am no longer proud of all the things I've done in the past. I can understand how you would still hate me after all I've done when I was the supreme leader of the Decepticons. But I promise you that I won't hurt your mother and I will do all I can to support my son and the Autobots into putting a stop to Doomsayer and his army of New Decepticons." Megatron promised.
Jack made a deep sigh before he looked at Megatron and told him, "Megatron? I'm sorry that I accused you of putting the moves on my mom. It's just that I care for her even if I don't live with her anymore." Jack said before he told Megatron, "And I will consider forgiving you when Doomsayer and his New Decepticons are defeated and that the Autobots would prove to the US President, Gabriel J. Henderson that they're the good guys who are just trying to protect Earth and that the New Decepticons and their leader are the real terrorists who according to Ultra Magnus are trying to find Unicron's Anti-Spark contained inside the Reliquary of the Allspark hidden in Autobot territory on Cybertron so that they can have Unicron destroy both Earth and Cybertron if they rescue and revive the Chaos Bringer. Also...I got a call from Ratchet and he told me that he's still searching for a way to turn you back into a Cybertronian. By the way, how does it feel? Being human and everything?" Jack asked. "To be honest. It feels uncomfortable and strange." Megatron replied before he decided to ask Jack about his father.
"So, tell me about your father, Jack...do you miss him?" Megatron asked curiously. Jack scoffed, "No, I don't. My mom divorced my dad, Nick Darby when I was 3-years-old because he was an abusive asshole who treated my mom like shit. After my mom divorced my dad, he took his car and left Jasper and he disappeared before he was presumably dead to me and my mother." Jack explained to Megatron. "You know...I viewed Optimus Prime as somewhat of a father figure when I was only 16. Ratchet even once said that he was like me when he was a librarian named Orion Pax. I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't miss Optimus, especially after he sacrificed himself to return the Matrix of Leadership to the Well of Allsparks according to what Ratchet and the Autobots have told me and my fiancé, Miko." Jack said.
"Did Ratchet ever tell you that Optimus had a family of his own?" Megatron asked. "Your son, Orion Eclipse, explained to me that Optimus Prime had a wife named, Elita-One and they had a daughter named Altair Comet. Bumblebee even told me that he was adopted by Optimus when he was a sparkling and we didn't even know about it because he never told us." Jack told Megatron.
Meanwhile, at M.E.C.H's military base, Adam Bowen was in his office when one of his soldiers informed him that a group of Cybertronians led by a mech named Doomsayer wishes to meet with him outdoors. Adam went outside where he and his men met Doomsayer as his New Decepticon warship, the Devastator was hovering above M.E.C.H's military base.
"Colonel Adam Bowen, I presume?" Doomsayer asked. The M.E.C.H soldiers aim their firearms at Doomsayer and his New Decepticons were prepared to defend themselves and their leader, but Adam Bowen raises his hand and orders his soldiers to hold their fire while wanting to know why Doomsayer and his New Decepticons are here.
"Hold your fire!" Adam Bowen ordered his men. The M.E.C.H soldiers lowered down their weapons before their leader asked Doomsayer, "Who are you and what do you want?" Doomsayer smiled and he told Adam and M.E.C.H, "Greetings, humans. I am Doomsayer, Leader of the New Decepticons. We've heard so much about you and we have an interesting proposal for you." Doomsayer began. "Colonel Bowen, it's the same robots that attacked Idaho!" one M.E.C.H soldier told his leader. "At ease, soldier. I want to hear this little 'proposition' from this robot." Adam Bowen said.
"So, you're willing to listen? Good." Doomsayer said before he told Adam his proposal, "Now, we know that you want the Cybertronians to leave the Earth because your 'President' has declared our kind a threat to humanity. But what if I told you that we New Decepticons would be willing to leave the Earth...if you and M.E.C.H would be willing to help us destroy our enemies, the Autobots, and work on Project Nightbird for me and my army?"
"Project Nightbird?" Adam asked "My Air Commander, Starscream once told me that M.E.C.H created a man-made robot years ago when M.E.C.H was run by Silas. One that looked like the late Optimus Prime." Doomsayer told the colonel. "Yes, I heard of it, until it got destroyed by Optimus Prime himself" Adam explained "Yes, but that's because Silas is controlling it like a human kid playing a video game. This time the man-made robot will be its own living being while willingly following our orders" Doomsayer said.
"Will you do that?" Doomsayer asked as Adam thinks, "Hmmm, well building a robot as its own person is hard, but we'll do it" Adam said "Then you got ourselves a deal," Doomsayer smirked.
