Inside an old warehouse at an unknown location, some M.E.C.H troopers were working on something very important. A trooper connected two cables together and another one pressed a button on a nearby console, causing some electricity to course through the cables and into a large Cybertronian body. That body just so happened to be the one of Breakdown, which was reconstructed with a few large stitch marks around him. His patch was broken off on the left to reveal his left eye. Some Energon was injected into Breakdown's inactive body, causing his hand to slightly move. When a M.E.C.H trooper pushed another button, electricity began emitting from Breakdown, smoke flew through the atmosphere and the entire warehouse began to shake from the amount of power M.E.C.H was using to bring their creation to life. The electricity soon died down and all the equipment powered down, allowing M.E.C.H to wait and see if their attempt to rewake Breakdown would work. Just then, Breakdown's eye and visor flashed in an orange colour as he looked around his surroundings.
"Welcome back, sir." A M.E.C.H trooper greeted.
'Breakdown' simply looked at his own hand with a slightly surprised look.
"What have you done?" 'Breakdown' asked as his voice sounded just like that of a certain M.E.C.H leader.
"What we needed to. In order to save you, Silas." The M.E.C.H trooper answered.
"I'm…one of them." Silas said, finding it a little hard to believe he was in a Cybertronian body.
"The logical evolution of M.E.C.H's experiments and biotech." The M.E.C.H trooper said, gesturing to a nearby computer that showed Breakdown's schematics. "Your brain fused with the donor's nervous and skeletal systems."
Inside Breakdown's body, Silas was shown to be connected to tons of wires as his body was covered in scars and injuries from when Nemesis Prime crashed ontop of him. One of his eyes was even replaced with a cybernetic one.
"The perfect meld of man and machine. Exquisite." Silas said with an impressed smirk. "Thank you all for your dedication and a lifetime of service."
The M.E.C.H Commander started to move and disconnected himself from the cables, staring down at his troopers.
"But I now seem more suited to keep the exclusive company…" Silas said before he armed his shoulder cannon, aiming it at his own men. "Of Titans."
The scene moved to outside the warehouse, where bright flashes and blaster noises could be heard inside.
At a far away military base, Silas was driving on the road in Breakdown's vehicle mode and approached the main entrance. He stopped in front of the gate, where a soldier approached the mysterious-looking tank and some parts of the left center shifted away to only reveal the upper part of Silas' scarred face.
"Colonel Leland Bishop," Silas said.
At the Base, Ratchet was monitoring Bulkhead with Jack and Miko in the base. "Bulkhead, you really must've allowed yourself to decline." Ratchet said to him.
"Yeah, Bulk. You gotta pull yourself out of this funk." Miko said optimiscally.
"What's the use?" Bulkhead asked miserably.
"You need to regain your strength." Ratchet said. "The time will come when-"
"When what? When all of you will need an assist?" Bulkhead questioned while frowning. "Isn't that what the new guys' for?"
"Hey, Bulkhead, I've been thinking. With your injury and all, you might wanna take advantage of the armor I snagged from Starscream." Smokescreen said, approaching Bulkhead with the Apex Armor plate. "Instant muscle suit!"
"You think I need a crutch?!" Bulkhead asked angrily before he stood up and smacked the Apex Armor away with his wrecking ball, causing it to smash into a monitor and damage it.
"Bulkhead! I needed that!" Ratchet yelled.
"Bulkhead," Elita said firmly as the three turned to see the femme walking up them and gave a disapproving frown, "Smokescreen was merely offering you way to still have a way to help us even with your condition. There's no reason to for you to show such attitude."
"But I-" Bulkhead tried to say.
"You need to know that every bot is equal. No matter how skilled they are." Elita said firmly to him. "Is that understood?"
Bulkhead stood silent for a moment before he nodded as Elita backed away as he pushed Smokescreen back. "Out of my way, rookie." Bulkhead muttered as slowly walked away.
"He can walk!" Smokescreen exclaimed as Bulkhead grabbed the metal ball nearby and started doing some exercise with it. "Looks like he's fit for duty to me."
"You don't even know what you're talking about," Ratchet mumbled under his breath before leaving.
"Give Bulk time, Smokescreen," Elita said to him. "He's still trying to get around after you, Strongarm, and Sideswipe joined the team. His lack of faith in his strength."
"But don't worry. I think he's warming up." Miko said wiht a smile and a thumbs up.
"You gotta be kidding, Raf." Jack said in a surprise tone as Miko turned and saw Jack looking on his phone on speaker. "You of all people, grounded?"
At Raf's house, said boy was sitting in his room while it was raining outside, "Big time! I miss placed some homework and blew a couple of tests," Raf said while on his computer.
"Translation, A- instead of A." Miko joked with a smirk.
"I'm probably spending too much time at the base." Raf said with a sigh.
"Rafael?" Raf's mother spoke up, which made Raf flinched as he turn to his door. "I hope you're not on the phone in there."
"No, Mama!" Raf lied as he leaned close to his phone. "Say, hi to Bee for me. Until I improve these grades…"
"I'm off Team Prime." Raf answered before he ended the call before Jack and Miko turn to Bulkhead still exercising.
"Just when we get one back, we lose another." Miko said with a frown.
Meanwhile, in the Nemesis, the screen showed something that caught Soundwave and Knock Out's interest, especially the latter's.
"Strange. Lord Megatron, it appears that Breakdown's signal has popped back online, albeit corrupted." Knock Out reported.
"Investigate with caution. It may well be an Autobot trick." Megatron ordered.
"I certainly hope not. Breakdown may act the brute, but he's a maestro behind a rotary buffer." Knock Out commented as he brushed off his shoulder.
A ground bridge took Knock Out and a squadron of Vehicons to the same military base, but now it was in ruins, with lots of military vehicles destroyed all around the place. Knock Out spotted a big hole made on the main structure, and heard footsteps coming from inside before seeing the figure of his old partner getting out.
"Breakdown, where have you…?" Knock Out started, but then realized something wasn't right with the blue Decepticon, particularly the scars and mess on his painjob, while also noticing his optics and the rest of his body, looking like he was broken down and put back together. "Breakdown, what happened to you?"
"Therein lies a tape, which won't be nearly as interesting to Megatron than this." Silas proclaimed as he showed them the box he was carrying. "So, take me to your leader."
Knock Out raised an eyebrow in suspicion, not recognizing his voice as he wondered if he could truly trust him.
At the Autobot base, Fowler had just arrived to tell Team Prime and the rest of the Autobots about something urgent he was just informed about while those at Metroplex were sharing the comm channel so that Fowler could speak to them all.
"At sixteen-thirty hours, a satellite was stolen from a high security military vault." Fowler explained, showing everyone some footage of the attack on the main console. "Surveillance shows the Decepticon known as Breakdown at the scene."
"Breakdown?" Moonracer said in surprise.
"You mean Bulk's old rival?" Crosshairs asked with a brow.
"Haven't seen him for a while." Bulkhead commented, not knowing the true fate of his old rival.
"It looks like Breakdown entered the base in vehicle mode, with someone inside the tank." Fowler said.
"A Decepticon paired with a human?!" Ratchet asked in total disbelief.
"And I have a pretty good hunch who." Fowler replied. "The stolen satellite was Project Damocles."
"Invented by Silas." Optimus finished.
"I guess the former Colonel Bishop wanted it back." Fowler said.
"And now it's in the hands of Megatron," Elita said seriously.
"But didn't he get crushed by Nemesis Prime?" Bumblebee recalled.
"Yeah, I thought Silas was paste?" Arcee questioned.
"So did I." Fowler added.
"Agent Fowler, even if he were alive, are you suggesting that Silas has allied M.E.C.H with the Decepticons? I highly doubt that Megatron would entertain such an idea." Ratchet proclaimed.
"Why not? The human bot alliance works." Jack admitted, gesturing to him and Miko.
"Most of the time." Acree said with a shrug.
Back on the Nemesis, Knock Ou was presenting the Breakdown/Silas combo being to Megatron, who was less than pleased.
"Knock Out, what is this abomination and why have you brought it here?" Megatron demanded, clearly seeing this was not Breakdown.
"I am CYLAS, as in Cybernetic Life Augmented by Symbiosis." CYLAS introduced himself. "I come with a proposition."
"This is the human who Dissected Breakdown!" Knock Out snarled, remembering what Silas did to his partner and that he was now inhabiting him, and was responsible for killing him as he ready his buzzsaw. "Please, my liege, allow me to return the favor." He said as he looked at Megatron, eager to avenge his partner, but the firm look told him to stand down.
"I propose that you not overlook the one asset that provides Optimus Prime an advantage. At least, on this world." CYLAS said.
"And that would be?" Megatron questioned.
"The human factor." CYLAS answered.
"Look around you, CYLAS, I command an army from a mighty warship." Megatron said, not buying any kind of offer from a mere organic. "What could a human possibly offer?"
"I am no ordinary human. And this is no ordinary weapon." CYLAS told him, gesturing to the metal box behind.
"Alright so what even is Project: Damocles anyway?" Hot Rod questioned.
"Damocles is a partial beam cannon so powerful, it can slice up the Pentagon like a birthday cake or give everyone on Mount Rushmore a mohawk, all from a satellite in orbit." Fowler explained, showing Project Damocles' capabilities on screen. "It's the work of a madman, and in Megatron's hands…"
"A threat to anyone, anywhere on the planet." Megatron finished with an intrigued look.
"With pinpoint accuracy at the flick of a switch." CYLAS said.
"And what is it that you wish in return?" Megatron asked.
"Merely a place at the table." CYLAS replied while bowing respectfully to Decepticon, stating he wished to join their ranks.
"So, how do we take down this death-laser satellite?" Jazz asked as he and the other Bots we're getting ready for their mission.
"The Cons may have the satellite, but they can't use it without the interface code." Fowler told them, holding a classified file on Project Damocles. "The only existing copy is stored on the secure server at headquarters in Colorado."
"We must keep the code out of Decepticon hands at all costs." Optimus declared.
Bulkhead slammed his palm into his fist, eager to finally get back in the field. "It's roll time!" Bulkhead stated, attempting to walk towards the Ground Bridge.
"Yep, yep, yep, I have not yet cleared you for active duty. Nor are you ready to roll." Ratchet told him firmly, making Bulkhead groan in frustration.
At the Colorado headquarters, soldiers were heading towards their helicopters and leaving in them as they received an evacuation call.
"Attention! All personnel are ordered to evacuate immediately!" Fowler's voice called out on the radio speakers.
However, this call was actually coming from Soundwave as he was using a digital imitation of Fowler's voice.
"We have a level five radiation leak! Repeat, evacuate immediately!" Soundwave's message said.
With all the soldiers gone, Soundwave crashed through the roof window and plugged one of his tentacles into the server in front of him, slowly downloading the Project Damocles codes into himself.
Outside, a groundbridge opened as Team Prime: Optimus, Acree, Bumblebee, and Smokescreen, along with Elita, Hot Rod, Whirl, Sideswipe, and Strongarm came out, but then they moved when blasters shots were fired as they took cover and saw Vehicons firing at them.
"The Decepticons are onto us!" Elita called out as they armed their blasters and charged at them. "We must secure the command center!" She called as they charged into battle.
However, Megatron and CYLAS were watching them from a monitor on the Nemesis.
"The Autobots have arrived!" Megatron stated.
"Megatron, relax-" CYLAS said, only for Megatron to growl madly at him. "Lord Megatron. Soundwave may need to download the code in order to remotely operate Damocles from here on your warship. But while jacked into the mainframe, Damocles is his to command."
CYLAS pressed a button on the monitor and the Nemesis shot out the Project Damocles satellite, which unfolded and aimed itself down to Earth.
"Soundwave, prepare to beta test." Megatron said on the com-link as the communication Decepticon was still downloading the codes.
Soundwave latched his other tentacle onto a keyboard and the screen displayed a targeting system for Damocles. Outside, the Autobots were still firing at the Vehicons as Smokescreen transformed and drove straight at his enemies. After transforming again, Smokescreen skilfully shot down two Vehicons before one of them tackled him by surprise. They both rolled across the field, until Smokescreen was on top and punched at the Vehicon. With Smokescreen in it's targeting sights, Project Damocles fired a powerful beam directly down to the planet and Smokescreen saw the laser descending straight at him.
"Smokescreen, move!" Strongarm yelled out.
Smokescreen immediately jumped out of the way, causing the laser to crash down onto the Vehicon before it soon faded away.
"Woah." Smokescreen said in shock, seeing the burnt Vehicon in a very hot crater.
"Sweet Solus Prime." Strongarm gasped.
"Okay, that is one dangerous satellite," Hot Rod said as he and the others saw the crater left by the laser.
On the Nemesis, CYLAS and Megatron saw the crater as well as the Lord of the Decepticon gave an impressed smile, "Promising," He admitted.
Elita and Optimus looked up to see another laser coming down, "Incoming!" Elita yelled.
"Fall back!" Optimus ordered as the Autobots started running to avoid the laser.
"Ratchet, we require backup!" Optimus stated on the main console as Ratchet and the other Autobots were listening.
"I'm there." Bulkhead replied, attempting to walk away.
"Yep, yep, yep!" Ratchet said as he immediately stopped him.
"Jetfire, can you attempt to destroy Damocles?" Optimus requested.
"Attempting to now, Prime," Jetfire reported while in the atmosphere and flying towards the Satellite before laser fire shot at him causing him to move off course.
"Not today Autobot." Astrotrain, in his own ship mode, said as he continued to fire on Jetfire as the Airialbot maintained distance.
"No good, Optimus! Astrotrain is protecting Damocles, I can't get close enough to destroy it." Jetfire reported back to base.
"Ratchet, can you remotely disable Project Damocles under Agent Fowler's advisement?" Optimus asked the medic back at base.
"On a human-based computer network?" Ratchet questioned. "Without my backup? Without Rafael?" He added.
At Raf's place, he was still in his room with a bored look before he heard the Ground Bridge open up behind him as he saw Miko, Jack, and Fowler enter through it. "W-What are you guys doing here?" Raf asked in surprise.
"Son, your planet needs you." Fowler said as he walked up to Raf and gave him the file of Damocles.
At the same time, the Autobots had just recovered from avoiding the Damocles laser.
"Autobots, we must draw fire to distract from Rafael's efforts." Optimus instructed.
Just then, another Damocles laser was fired at the Autobots and it crashed in front of them.
"Somehow, I don't think that'll be a problem." Arcee replied.
"Let's drive for it!" Sideswipe exclaimed as they quickly transformed and drove as fast as they could to avoid the laser.
Ratchet continued working at his station while Bulkhead paced around impatiently. "Ratchet, you've gotta send me in." Bulkhead pleaded.
"So you can be an even easier target?! You have yet to regain your full range of motion!" Ratchet stated.
"But Breakdown's back, he's my arch-enemy. Come on, even the kids are in on the action!" Bulkhead argued, causing the Autobot medic to sigh in defeat.
"Very well, Bulkhead. You are cleared for duty." Ratchet said begrudgingly.
"Yes!" Bulkhead cheered as he started to walk towards the Ground Bridge.
"A duty of my choosing!" Ratchet told him sternly, causing Bulkhead to scratch his head in confusion.
Meanwhile, Raf had just managed to get into the Project Damocles network while his friends watched nearby. "I'm in, but I can't hack into the targeting systems. Too many firewalls." Raf said.
"Come on, son. If the Cons make off with that interface code, Damocles will light up the sky twenty four-seven." Fowler encouraged.
"Let them have the code. It won't be any good without the satellite." Raf proclaimed.
"Can't say I follow." Fowler admitted in confusion.
"All satellites have maneuvering thrusters to help them adjust their orbit. If I can hack into the navigational sub routine, I can bring the whole satellite down." Raf explained while holding the Damocles file.
"Great." Fowler replied with a smile before he looked around awkwardly. "Say, umm, which way's the bathroom?"
The children looked at him in disbelief. "What?! No!" Raf said as he turned to the special agent. "If my mom sees you-"
"Relax. I'm trained in covert-ops." Fowler assured.
"I don't care if you were trained by ninjas!" Raf said as he stood up. "My mom has eyes on the back of your head!" He firmly said as Fowler raised a brow.
On the Nemesis, Megatron saw a warning message on the monitor to show that someone was hacking into Project Damocles.
"An intruder in the system?" Megatron asked before shoving CYLAS away. "Soundwave, we have a breach."
The monitor's visual map started tracking the hacker's signal and displayed the location.
"Jasper, Nevada." CYLAS identified. "It can only be the Autobots' human allies."
"Then perhaps you should attend to the matter." Megatron replied.
"Surely one of your subordinates is more suitable-" CYLAS began to say.
"Now!" Megatron shouted sternly, making CYLAS flinch.
Arcee drove straight away from a Damocles laser that was chasing her, while Smokescreen managed to get a clear distance and saw the headquarters ahead of him.
"Clear shot! I'm going in!" Smokescreen stated before he drove straight for the headquarters, only to steer away from a laser that was fired straight in front of him. "Scratch that!"
"I think I got it!" Sideswipe called as he drove really fast, but the laser blocked him as he quickly served around and took off away from it. "Uh, nevermind!"
"We can't get close to the command center!" Elita exclaimed as they kept moving around. "Optimus, we can barely avoid this satellite. One wrong step, and we're burnt toasters."
"We have to continue to out manuver the satellite until Rafael successful disables it," Optimus said as another laser came down. "For now, we must ensure to stay out of the line of fire."
"Easier said than done!" Whirl exclaimed in fear.
Back in Jasper, CYLAS was driving down the streets in his vehicle form and stopped right in front of Raf's home before aiming his cannon at the human children. "Goodnight, hacker." CYLAS said smugly as he power up his cannon.
But then, Bulkhead drove out of other side of the road and rammed straight into CYLAS, causing him to turn over as the dark-green Wrecker dragged him across the road to get far away from the Noceda residence.
"Good call on curbside duty, Ratch!" Bulkhead remarked.
Bulkhead and CYLAS soon arrived at a bridge gutter near the neighborhood and they both fell straight into it before transforming, landing on their feet and slowly circling each other.
"Been itching to trade paint with you again." Bulkhead said with a glare. "Where've you been, Breakdown?"
"Be patient. I'm about to send you there." CYLAS answered.
"You're not Breakdown." Bulkhead realized, noticing his voice was different.
"But you are Bulkhead." CYLAS said while smirking. "And this is the last time you'll interfere with one of my operations."
Bulkhead's eyes widened in shock when he finally realized who this really was. "Silas?" Bulkhead asked in astonishment.
"In the flesh, in a manner of speaking." CYLAS quipped before he deployed his hammer and charged at Bulkhead with a yell.
Bulkhead brought out his wrecking ball and attacked CYLAS, who blocked him and smacked Bulkhead away with his hammer. CYLAS went in for another attack, but Bulkhead avoided him and managed to hit CYLAS with his wrecking ball. But when Bulkhead tried to smash him again, CYLAS easily blocked him and punched him back hard. Bulkhead crashed against the wall and looked up to see CYLAS making a taunting gesture at him, causing the dark-green Wrecker to shout out angrily and charge at him.
At the Autobot base, Ratchet attempted to call Bulkhead on what was happening. "Bulkhead, do you read? Bulkhead?" Ratchet asked, but got no response.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters, Soundwave was nearly done downloading the codes as he continued operating Project Damocles. Optimus managed to shoot down two Vehicons before a Damocles laser was fired near him, causing the Autobot leader to immediately run away from it.
"Optimus, I fear that Bulkhead requires immediate backup!" Ratchet called on the com-link.
"Ugh! Where did they hid the substream?" Raf wondered as Fowler returned.
"FYI, you're low on TP." Fowler said sheepishly.
CYLAS easily dodged Bulkhead's attack as the dark-green Wrecker was still suffering from his crippled effects.
"Reaction time is slow. You're favoring your right side." CYLAS said while dodging Bulkhead's wrecking ball with little effort and noticing him struggling to move. "Legs are weak."
When Bulkhead tried attacking again, CYLAS dodged and smashed him with the hammer, sending the dark-green Wrecker crashing back. "I'll show ya weak." Bulkhead grunted, standing back up and going in for a strike.
However, CYLAS moved behind Bulkhead before striking him on the back with it. This caused Bulkhead to crash forward onto the ground and skid across the floor in pain.
"You should've stayed in bed, Autobot." CYLAS said mockingly, approaching Bulkhead preparing to crush him with his hammer.
But then, he heard some transforming noises and the human/Cybertronian hybrid was kicked away by Sideswipe and Strongarm. Bulkhead looked up in surprise as the two Autobot rookies approached him.
"Optimus told us you were in need of assist, sir." Strongarm told him with a smile.
"What are we newbies for?" Sideswipe added with a grin, while holding up his hand.
Bulkhead accepted it as he stood up as they turned to CYLAS, who stood up as well.
"One new guy to another." CYLAS said as he cracked his neck and brought out his hammer. "This is your final day on the job." He said as he charged at the three and slammed his hammer down.
Meanwhile, Soundwave noticed a warning sign on the screen and he pressed a button that sent the image to Megatron, who saw it on the monitor.
"They're attempting to disable the satellite! CYLAS, how difficult is it to squash a mere child?" Megatron asked loudly, but got no response. "CYLAS!" He repeated.
Soundwave then finished uploading the interface codes for Project Damocles.
"We have the codes? Then target the intruder and destroy them!" Megatron ordered.
Soundwave started commanding Project Damocles, which was chasing Bumblebee before it then started to move away from the area.
"This is our opportunity! Autobots, storm the command center!" Optimus ordered as the Autobots brought out their weapons and charged at the headquarters.
Raf was still trying her hardest to hack into Project Damocles. "I'm almost there." He said.
But then, the children and Fowler noticed the target sight for Damocles was moving away. "Raf! Rock on! It's moving!" Miko cheered, but Raf gave a worried frown.
"Uh, that isn't me." Raf said, which made them all silent in worry before they realized what was happening.
In space, Jetfire was still avoiding Astrotrain's fire, keeping him away from Damocles. Meanwhile said Satellite was beginning to change position and powered up.
"Oh no," Jetfire said in worry as he continued to avoid the lasers, "Optimus, this is Jetfire. Damocles is changing positions," He said over his comm. "I think Soundwave is taking aim for the humans' position!"
"What?!" Arcee exclaimed as the Autobots on the ground charged at the base.
"Soundwave must be onto them!" Smokescreen realized.
"We need to take out Soundwave now!" Elita yelled as they charged at the base and fired at the vehicons guarding it.
Back at Raf's place, they continue to look at where the Satellite is targeting before noticing the location. "Um, guys. That's Jasper." Jack said in worry.
"Oooh! I could see my host parents' house!" Miko said with a smile, while the boys gave her brows before they saw the targeting systems targeting a specific place.
"And I can see my house. Right in their target sights!" Raf said in horror as Fowler looked above them.
"Anytime, son!" Fowler urged.
"Full thruster burn!" Raf yelled as he quickly typed on the keyboard and pressed the final key.
One of Project Damocles' thrusters activated and blew the satellite down to Earth as it fired a laser at the same time, which ended up missing the Raf's. At the KO Drive in, hitting one of the signs by the corner.
The laser from Damocles then clipped Astrotrain's wing causing him to yell in pain and forced to retreat as Jetfire then took aim at Damocles and fired at the satellite, causing it to explode.
Megatron saw that Project Damocles had flown off target and he shouted out in anger.
Raf sighed in relief as Miko and Fowler cheered while Jack gave a smile. "Whoo-hoo! Yeah!" Miko cheered.
"Yes! You're a genius!" Fowler cheered, but then they all flinched when they heard knocking.
"Rafael Jorge Gonzales Esquivel!" His mother called as the others flinched and acted quickly as she opened the door. "What is going on in here?!" She questioned before she saw the group sitting on the ground while reading books.
"Study group." Raf said with a sheepish shrug.
Inside the headquarters, the Autobots had shot down the last Vehicon and they blew open the door into the server room. But when they got in, they saw that Soundwave had already transformed and flew away before they could shoot him.
"Optimus, Rafael disrupted the satellite's thrusters and Damocles has been destroyed," Jetfire reported over the comms.
This made the Autobots turn to each other with relieved and smiles that Raf did it.
At the same time, Strongarm struck CYLAS multiple times with his swords while not giving the human/Cybertronian hybrid a chance to react before kneeing him in the gut. Bulkhead punched CYLAS and made him turn around, allowing Sideswipe to jump up and kick him on the other side. CYLAS was sent flying back and crashed against the floor with a weak groan.
"CYLAS, return to base immediately." Megatron said on the com-link.
CYLAS then fired a missile from his shoulder's tank cannon and Bulkhead, Strongarm and Sideswipe quickly avoided it, causing a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared away, the three Autobots saw CYLAS running into a Ground Bridge and disappearing once it closed. Bulkhead, Sideswipe and Strongarm looked up into the sky and saw the remains of Damocles descending from space and burning up.
"Looks like someone's big plan just burned up in re-entry." Wheeljack remarked before he and his two comrades shared a special high-five.
"And for the record, Smokescreen and I studied every one of the Wreckers' battles." Sideswipe said with a smile. "They were just so awesome."
"It was the only subject Sideswipe ever decided to read about." Strongarm said with a smirk before Sideswipe nudged her with an annoying look.
"There's hope for ytwo and Smokes yet, newbies." Bulkhead complemented, finally accepting Smokescreen, Sideswipe, and Strongarm as a member of the Autobot Teams.
On the Nemesis, CYLAS was standing before Megatron with Soundwave by his leader's side. "CYLAS, you have earned your place at the table." Megatron said.
"Lord Megatron, I am honored." CYLAS replied gratefully.
"Knock Out's dissection table." Megatron corrected with a glare.
Hearing this, CYLAS fearfully looked back to see Knock Out, Clobber and Lockdown standing behind him with their weapons out. "Breakdown would be tickled." Knock Out said with a very satisfied smirk, finally getting some sweet justice for his fallen partner.
"No, Lord Megatron! Why?!" CYLAS asked, back away.
"Because Damocles was the best you had to offer, and it is no more. The magic factor did indeed tip the scales…" Megatron explained before Soundwave showed the photo he took of the children when first arriving at Earth. "In favor of my enemies."
CYLAS was left speechless before Knock Out zapped him with his electric staff and Clobber smacked him on the head, causing him to fall back. All CYLAS could do was weakly look up at the Decepticons towering over him.
"He will be a fascinating case for study." Megatron said simply.
"I will leave no fiber, or fiber optic unexamined," Knock Out said with an almost sadistic grin as he tapped on CYLAS's false eye, "Clobber, Lockdown, would you be so kind as to help our friend get settled into his new accommodations?" He requested as Clobber and Lockdown smirked and chuckled evilly before grabbing CYLAS's arms and dragging him away.
"No, no. Megatron, I'm here to serve you!" CYLAS begged as he was carried through the main deck's exit by the two Decepticon lackeys with Knock Out walking with them, and Megatron simply watched. "No! No, no, no, NOOOOOO!" He screamed out.
The door then closed up, With CYLAS now left to be tortured by Knock Out's hands and all of his remaining troops disposed of, this meant only one thing: This was the end of M.E.C.H.
And there we have it, the closing chapter for M.E.C.H. I have to say, I never expected Silas to actually be placed in Breakdown's body or kill his own men but considering what he got at the end, I'd say it was well deserved.
I also changed it up where Sideswipe and Strongarm save Bulkhead since they didn't get much hero time in the last chapter.
Stay tuned, because when Smokescreen is out taking Earth-style lessons with Jack and Hot Rod, they discover a relic that will change the future of both Earth and Cybertron forever, in "Legacy".
