And here's another new idea!

And this time, it's something special: our first crossover!

More Than Meets The Heroic Eye

(Inspired by the fic Transformers: MHA by The Omni-Remnant and the Transformers Franchise)

The story begins as it does in MHA's canon, with All Might choosing Izuku as his successor and beginning his training to prepare him for the immense power of One for All. However, in the midst of the scrapyard that Izuku begins to clear at Takoba Beach, he finds a broken-down and busted yellow Volkswagen Beetle, rusted over and marked to hell and back, but surprisingly still functional after who knows how long.

All Might is surprised to see it here - the last Volkswagen Beetle was made a thousand years ago during the Quirk Awakening, the time in which quirks had come into being in the immediate aftermath of a great apocalypse - but decides that Izuku and himself would take it and repair it themselves, as a sort of side project alongside cleaning the beach.

However, as they try to repair the car, they find that none of the components within make sense. There's so much compressed metal within, and in strange formations and patterns not consistent with the standard engines for Beetles, or even any other car.

But when they try to switch on the car, they find that it's not a vehicle: it's a living being.

A Transformer.

The Beetle converts right before their eyes into a machine - a robotic lifeform that towers over them...

And then cowers away in the corner of the garage that they were fixing him in.

Realising that the robotic being is more afraid of them then they are of it, Izuku and All Might attempt to sooth the machine into not being fearful of them, and eventually are able to gain its trust and acceptance. Needing a name for the being, Izuku and All Might realise that the machine has no memory of what it once was. It didn't even have a voice to itself.

They decide on a name for it.

Bumblebee.

(Who's in his G1 appearance, not the one from his signature film.)

All Might takes Izuku and Bumblebee to I-Island to give the Transformer (as they call the robot) the repairs that it needs, helped along by the artificial island's advanced technology. Here, Yagi Toshinori reconnects with David Shield, and Izuku meets his daughter, Melissa Shield. Collaborating together to try and repair Bumblebee, the four of them dig through the few surviving records of the massive apocalyptic cataclysm that pre-empted the global awakening of quirks over a thousand years ago and discover scant records of metal men that walked the earth and brought it all down, barely stopped by the world's first hero.

Not too far away, two A.I. known as Artemis and Moon, belonging to a secretive militant group, picks up an energy spike on the other side of the world. A Cybertronian energy spike.

Sector Seven moves to investigate and intercept.

Meanwhile, Izuku's mother is quick to pick up on her son's travels, and Inko quickly requests a meeting with the people that Izuku has been talking to. Soon, she meets with Yagi (not in his All Might persona) and the Shields, and quickly hits it off with them as she thanks them for doing what she couldn't for her son: give him hope. They do not let her know about Bumblebee, though.

In the meantime, Izuku and All Might continue to clear out the beach and scout out the area around them, they travel alongside Inko and the Shields to U.A. to explore the school and help David and Melissa build ties between Nezu and I-Island. Later on, Melissa and Izuku meet Mei Hatsume, and the three of them become fast friends (despite Melissa and Mei's constant disagreements about support items and the like).

However, unbeknownst to them, scouts from Sector Seven begin to infiltrate Mustufatu and explore the city, trying to track down the Cybertronian signal from before.

Soon enough, the day of U.A.'s entrance exam comes to pass, and Bumblebee transports All Might, Izuku, and Hatsume to the testing grounds for the latter two's exams. With help from Melissa over the phone, the two are able to pass their exams as they did in canon, with All Might watching them from behind the cameras, and Bumblebee watching Izuku from behind the walls at the mock city.

But, when catching sight of the point robots, as well as the massive Zero Pointer, Bee has a sudden panic attack as a memory of a massive green titan flashes before him, and he flees the city in a hurry.

Sector Seven catch his trail and follow him out of the city.

It is Izuku, Hatsume, and Melissa that catch up to Bumblebee first, and through sign language (as well as discovering how to use his radio to communicate with them), Bee is able to explain to them the flash that he saw, and they begin to piece together the life that he lived once before.

But then they come face to face with a new threat. One that they are all shocked by.

Three other Transformers. One with a tank alt-mode, one with a cycle alt-more, and one with a jet alt-mode.

They are the Vehicons, known as the Tank Drone, Cycle Drone, and Aero Drone, and they attack Bumblebee with no mercy. He and the three humans are barely able to escape with their lives.

The three humans and one Transformer are able to warn All Might of what they just survived, but strangely they all come up short on any incident reports of violence last night. Someone in the chain of command was keeping the incident quiet.

The four of them try to make sense of the random attack but are soon distracted by Izuku and Hatsume's first days in U.A., with the two of them making friends in both the support and hero courses, though Izuku does his best to avoid the wrath of Bakugo.

Soon enough, Class 1-A is sent on a field trip to the USJ, alongside Eraserhead and Thirteen. All Might is supposed to join them, but he's off doing his hero business beforehand and will join them soon. Bumblebee follows after them to observe.

And soon enough, the League of Villains attacks, as is in canon. However, this time, they have another addition to the roster.

Another Transformer, with a red logo on his chest that had been marked and scratched out. His name is Wildwheel (missing his hat and poncho, though, resembling more of what he looked like in Last Bot Standing), and he desires revenge against those that have wronged him.

And he makes himself known by picking up Thirteen and squashing her in his hand, killing her instantly.

The students and Eraserhead are scattered by the villains and Transformer over the USJ and are hunted down and cornered one by one by them. Bumblebee calls All Might to tell him what is going on but is forced to intervene when the Transformer - Wildwheel - is about to kill Izuku, Tsuyu, and Mineta, tackling the robot to the ground and beginning to engage in battle with him.

Wildwheel, however, tries to talk to the other Cybertronian, identifying them both at Autobots. They are brothers, kin. Fellow Cybertronians. He must've seen what the humans have done to their kind. He should be just as angry as Wildwheel. He should be just as angry at them for what they've done. He should be just as needy for justice as he is.

Bumblebee doesn't listen. Wildwheel had just killed a hero - a human - and tried to kill several more. Children, in fact! Whatever an Autobot is, Bumblebee knows that Wildwheel is the furthest thing from it.

The two Cybertronians engage in battle, with Wildwheel trying to kill the organics and Bumblebee fighting to defend them, even the villains. Everyone, from hero to villain, pauses in whatever they are doing just to watch the two metallic titans clash in open conflict.

It is only when All Might appears to bring down those that attacked the USJ that things go into motion once more.

As All Might takes on the Nomu, several of the students identify Bumblebee as an ally trying to protect them and help him in engaging Wildwheel, peppering the rogue Autobot with rounds and blasts and blows and leaving him crippled and broken. They risk life and limb to bring the Cybertronian down, and as All Might finishes the Nomu off, Bumblebee does the same to Wildwheel in a blind flash of instincts, adrenaline, and forgotten skills...

By transforming his arm into a cannon and shooting the renegade Autobot in the head, seemingly killing him.

As the students gather around the corpse of the giant robot in shock, Bumblebee comes to his senses and is horrified by what he has done, transforming into his alt-mode and fleeing the USJ, just as the rest of the heroes arrive to arrest the villains. Some of them attempt to go after him, but All Might stops them from doing so. This was something that he could do by himself.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government contacts U.A., and informs Nezu that an organisation known as Sector Sevel has taken away Wildwheel's remains.

Out in the wild, Bumblebee hides away on his own, still in shock over what he has done, but it is Izuku and Hatsume who catch up to him first, not All Might or anyone else. Through his radio and sign language, Bumblebee reveals that he didn't mean to offline Wildwheel, and that he has been regaining more and more glimpses of his old life before Izuku and All Might has awakened him not too long ago.

What he remembers is that his actual name is B-127, he is an Autobot, and he was a soldier in what was known as the Cybertronian Civil War, protecting the collection of allied Cybertronian colonies - both neutral and Autobot - and alien worlds known as the Autobot Commonwealth against the malicious Decepticon Star Empire, a fascist, technoist state that sought to cyberform hundreds of worlds and expand their empire across the entire galaxy, cleansing it of organic life in the process.

Izuku and Hatsume (more the latter than the former) try their best to repair the damage done to him by Wildwheel, but are soon surrounded once more by even more of those Vehicons from before, as well as new Copter Drones, Artillery Drones, sleek Car Drones-

(The Vehicons in this story are a mixture of both the Beast Machines Vehicons and the Prime Vehicons, as you can tell.)

-And accompanied by elite heroes and human militant kill squads.

(Think of Sector Seven's kill squads as like Shadow Company from Call of Duty.)

Bumblebee and the two heroes are barely able to run from the Vehicons and Sector Seven heroes and squads as they gun for cover in the city, Sector Seven hounding them every step of the way.

Meanwhile, Izuku and Hatsume's homes are raided by heroes and Sector Seven squads, and Inko and Mei's parents are arrested by them, taken away to an undisclosed black site somewhere else in Eastern Asia.

Bumblebee, Izuku, and Mei flee into the corners and alleyways of Tokyo, but Sector Seven and their Vehicons are constantly on their tail. They try to flee out of the city but are cornered by the kill squads and Vehicons in an abandoned part of the city. However, just before the Sector Seven squads can kill them, they are stopped and rescued by a group of cars driving out of nowhere and into the heroes, humans, and Vehicons.

A group of cars that transform into a group of Cybertronians, all of them with the Autobot insignia across their chests.

The five Autobots protect Bumblebee and the two children, slagging the Vehicons and incapacitating the humans. Seconds later, the pink Autobot in charge identifies Bumblebee as B-127 and leads him and the children away, out of the city and to safety in the wilderness.

In the aftermath of the city skirmish, Izuku and Mei are declared as villans and enemies of the state by the Japanese government, much to the shock of their classmates. All Might tries to find out where Bumblebee and the children have gone, and learns that a group of heroes, supported by soldiers in unmarked uniforms, tried to arrest the Transformer and the two children with him, and were supported by unknown machines of their own. However, he is stopped by HPSC officials each and every time he tries to get close to the truth.

Soon enough, for his actions, he is confronted by a man known as Lenard Bishop, a man serving as a representative and leading figure for Sector Seven.

Lenard warns All Might not to get involved in Sector Seven's dealings and reveals that he knows that he's been harbouring a Cybertronian fugitive. All Might demands to know what is going on, and threatens to reveal Sector Seven's dealings, as well as revealing the existence of the Transformers to the world through his fame and connections.

Most people would be cowed by this threat that All Might makes, but Lenard isn't. He laughs it off and reveals that Sector Seven has been covering up the existence of Cybertronians for the last thousand years. All Might's interference won't change anything about that.

Meanwhile, in the Sector Seven black site in Japan, Inko and Mei's parents are kept in a cell as Wildwheel's remains are brought in to be experiemented on, with some of the scientists there believing that the remains might be the key to giving life to Earth's new champion. But for now, the prototype would be deployed on its first mission: to hunt down the Cybertronians outside of Musutafu and eliminate them, as well as their human collaborators.

Nemesis Prime (in his G1 form) is brought online.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness alongside the shoreline of southern Japan, within a cave riddled with energon deposits and makeshift equipment (the Autobots' temporary base), Bumblebee and the two children are hesitant to trust the Autobots that just rescued them, seeing as how the last Autobot that they came across tried to kill them and their friends. The other Autobots are confused by this, especially when they recognise Wildwheel as the one who had attacked Izuku and Bumblebee (he had been a staunch Autobot through and through), but upon coming to the conclusion that he had been forced to thanks to the humans hunting them down, they are able to come to an alliance with each other, especially now that Izuku and Hatsume have become wanted fugitives.

The other Autobots identify themselves as Arcee (who's design based on her IDW appearance), their leader, Tailgate (again, IDW design), Arcee's partner, Wheeljack (a blend of his G1 and IDW designs), the resident scientist, Jazz (again, G1 and IDW), the group's scout and main fighter, and Chromedome (primarily his IDW MTMTE design), the resident mnemosurgeon. They reveal that they have been on Earth for over ten years now, having come to the planet after tracking B-127's - Bumblebee's - signal. B-127's mission? To track down and locate Optimus Prime, who has been missing for a thousand years.

Bumblebee's mind flashes back, and his backstory is finally revealed: he is the last generation of forged Cybertronians before the Third Great Cybertronian Civil War began and was there to witness the fall of Sentinel and Zeta Prime and their fascistic senate, as well as the Functionist regime that supported it, at the hands of the Decepticons. However, when Megatron himself turned tyrannical and attempted to impose his will across Cybertron and her colonies, he joined up with the Autobot resistance alongside Orion Pax, now turned into Optimus Prime thanks to the Matrix of Leadership, become part of his inner circle and helping to protect hundreds - if not thousands - of innocent and organic worlds and species from the relentless hordes of the Decepticons over the last four million years of conflict.

However, when Optimus Prime disappeared, the Autobots were weakened and low on morale by his loss. The Decepticons used this loss in leadership to overrun and overwhelm major positions over the Autobot Commonwealth, ravaging entire worlds such as Klo, Athenia, Master, Nebulos, and Caminus, and forcing the Autobots to go underground, becoming resistance cells such as Springer's Wreckers, Ultra Magnus' remnant, Star Saber's Brainmasters, Dai Atlas' Circle of Light, and so on, and waging their own independent and scattered wars against the Decepticon Star Empire.

However, without any major foe to oppose them and justify their unification, the Decepticon Star Empire stagnated and fell into infighting, with factions such as Skyquake's Predators, Gnashteeth's Predacons, and Bludgeon's Mayhem Attack Squad, as well as other factions under the rule of the lights of Deathsaurus, Scorponok, Scrash, Thunderwing, and the Triumvirate, all competing for power amongst the empire, all the while Megatron would sit on his throne on Cybertron, his underlings would take care of the management for him, and Starscream - alongside his Seekers - would go off picking off renegade Decepticon leaders (sometimes winning, sometimes not) and trying to acquire power for himself to someday overthrow Megatron, to which everyone knows he will lose.

Desperate to turn the tides of the war back into their favour, and eager to stop the Decepticons' casual genocides as soon as they can, what's left of Autobot High Command dispatched B-127 to Optimus' last known location, being in the Sol System, some hundred years ago, to try and find him, but was intercepted and attacked by a squad of Decepticons known as the Monstercons, made up of Skullgrin, Submarauder, Iguanus, Bomb-Burst, Bugly, and Finback. B-127 is able to fend off and kill the Monstercons as they arrive on Earth, but is badly damaged in the battle, losing his voice in the process, and takes the form of a Volkswagen Beetle to hide from Sector Seven as their squads and Vehicons drag away the corpses of the Monstercons, and hides away in the garbage of Takoba Beach in order to not be found by the humans.

Now with his memories awakened, Bumblebee, Izuku, Mei, and the other Autobots are forced to move through Tokyo once more in order to reach the docks, attempting to grab a ferry to I-Island and seek shelter there. However, Sector Seven has anticipated this and posted guards around the ferry, forcing them to go around and seek alternate transport to the island.

Luckily, they are able to contact Melissa and David Shield on the island, as well as All Might, and they arrange a private boat for them to take to the artificial island, allowing them to plan their next move in relative safety.

However, before this can happen, a villain attack and skirmish between them and the hero known as Mount Lady causes massive amounts of damage to a nearby skyscraper, almost bringing it down and killing everyone inside.

In a flash of instincts, Bumblebee leaps into the fray and holds the building up himself, allowing for the civilians to be safely evacuated before it can come crumbling down.

This surprises the Sector Seven forces, especially the one leading them, Marissa Faireborn and her two squad mates Shaoshao Li and Atari Hitotonari-

(Yes, the latter two girls and their association to Marissa Faireborn are a reference to Kiss Players (goddammit, Japan). No, we will not be featuring any of the crap that went down in that bit of forsaken Transformers lore in this story. I'm just as traumatised as you by it.)

-Who already have their own reservations about hunting down the Cybertronians with impunity, and they take the chance to order the Autobot to be brought in alive instead of death, thanks to its very public and heroic actions.

Soon, the Vehicons arrive to drag it off, and their new leader transforms from its truck alt-mode to bring in Bumblebee.

The bot in question lets his optics widen at the sight of the robot before him.

He recognises it as Optimus.

The black and teal form of Nemesis Prime knocks Bumblebee out and drags him away, the Vehicons and Sector Seven forces following afterwards. Izuku, Mei, and the other Autobots are forced to leave him behind as they take the boat to I-Island.

At the Sector Seven black site, the scientists begin to experiment on Wildwheel's brain module, attempting to reprogram the module and insert it into Nemesis Prime once it arrives with Bumblebee in tow. Lenard orders Marissa to explain why she hadn't killed the Cybertronian, and even when she explains that the robot had saved a hundred people from a falling skyscraper, he orders Bumblebee to be destroyed and thrown into the pile. It is only Marissa's insistence that interrogating the Cybertronian may lead him to the others that keeps Bumblebee alive.

In I-Island, All Might meets up with the Shields, Izuku, Mei, and the other Autobots, and discuss what has gone down. The Autobots come to the conclusion that the Optimus Prime lookalike that they saw in the city must be Optimus Prime himself and see that the news is suddenly promoting the copycat as the newest champion of hero society, calling it Grand Convoy, the Nemesis Hero, and saying that it is the next successor to All Might's legacy.

Soon enough, Wheeljack realises that Bumblebee's energy signature is still online, meaning that he is still alive, and he, Mei, and the Shields track him down to an undisclosed location in the middle of the Japanese wilderness. Worse yet, Izuku and Hatsume learn that their parents have been kidnapped by Sector Seven forces and are most likely being held prisoner there.

With that, the Autobots and their allies form a plan to break into the Sector Seven base and free Optimus and Bumblebee, as well as the humans kept prisoner inside: All Might and the Shields would cause one hell of a distraction at the front gates, whilst the children and Autobots would sneak around the side and use the distraction to break in, freeing their fellows and parents from the humans and bringing down Sector Seven and their copycat Prime in one fell swoop. The Autobots and All Might oppose the idea of Izuku, Mei, and Melissa tagging along with them, but upon seeing their determination and realising that there would be no way of stopping them from following along even if they ordered them to stay behind, they agree to bring them along.

At the black site base, Lenard orders the reprogrammed Wildwheel personality core (as they call it) to be inserted into Nemesis Prime, now called Grand Convoy, the Nemesis Hero, and then orders him to be resprayed and painted (he was going to be repainted in whites and silvers with a teal and green finish). However, the reprogramming didn't work: Wildwheel's personality hasn't been changed, and he's angrier than ever.

Meanwhile, Marissa is interrogating Bumblebee, demanding to know where the rest of the Cybertronians are. Bumblebee instead asks Marissa why she and the rest of Sector Seven are hunting Cybertronians, and why they have Optimus Prime in their employ. Marissa explains that Grand Convoy (or Nemesis Prime or whatever it's called) isn't actually Optimus Prime. It's just a replica, a copy made from a combination of human technology and Cybertronian biology kept quiet by Sector Seven in order to serve as All Might's eternal replacement as the Symbol of Peace when his time passes. Then, she reveals as to why Sector Seven has been hunting down and killing Cybertronians for the last thousand years:

Over a thousand years ago, just before the first quirk awakening, there was a massive cataclysm, an apocalypse of global proportion that devastated the Earth and left the Human race in tatters.

It was an apocalypse created by a Cybertronian invasion, when hundreds of the giant metal monsters descended from the sky and ravaged their world, intent on draining their world of their resources and bringing an end to their planet and species.

Only one of the Cybertronians had objected and turned on his fellows, making it his mission to protect Earth from his kind and save them all.

And that single Cybertronian was Optimus Prime.

He singlehandedly fought off the Cybertronian invasion and felled hundreds of his own kind, ending their domination and saving all of mankind. However, in doing so he almost brought about his own end, and none of the surviving humans had any way or knowledge on how to repair his advanced systems, so they just put him on ice until they could figure out a way to do so.

In the aftermath of the apocalypse, and with the first generation of quirks coming into bloom and throwing what was left of society into lawlessness and chaos, Sector Seven was quietly founded by Harold Attinger. They would be a private military organisation that would, in the shadows, would continue Optimus Prime's mission of safeguarding Earth from any more Cybertronian incursions, and would receive enough funding from the United Nations to become more powerful than even Interpol.

Sector Seven would spend the next thousand years defending their world from every and any Cybertronian incursion upon their world and would be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of their kind. Sector Seven would be continuing Optimus Prime's work in killing those who would bring harm to their world.

It's Bumblebee's turn to speak, and through his radio, he asks if any of the Cybertronians they killed were Autobots. Marissa doesn't understand the question, so Bumblebee reiterates: did any of the Cybertronians that she's helped kill had red badges or purple. Marissa says that she's seen to the deaths of ten red badge Cybertronians, and seven purpled badged ones.

Bumblebee swallows down the note of anger that builds within him, and asks if any of the Cybertronians they killed ever tried to help others like Optimus did? Marissa doesn't know. Bumblebee would be the first that she met. Everyone else either fought (the purple badge ones) or ran (the red badge ones).

Bumblebee asks if she ever considered the difference between the two. Marissa explains that they were taught that the badges signified rank in the Cybertronians army. Purple were soldiers, red support. That was what they were taught in the academy. It was what the Sector Seven higherups had told them that they were, at least. It was the running theory.

It was wrong, and Bumblebee explained it to her: the Cybertronian race was neck deep in a civil war. The Transformers with the red badges were the Autobots, who served to protect the galaxy and the organic races within it from the Decepticons, the Transformers with the purple badges. Optimus Prime wasn't just an ordinary Autobot like Bee, he was the leader of the Autobots. The ones invading the planet must've been the Decepticons.

Marissa is shocked by this information, but she doesn't quite trust the answer. Instead, she asks him about Wildwheel, the Autobot who attacked the USJ alongside the League of Villains. Bumblebee doesn't have an answer, and Marissa is unsatisfied by it. She decides to investigate the matter herself and leaves Bumblebee to his cell, ordering Atari and Shaoshao to bring up all the files and mission reports on Sector Seven's executions of Cybertronians over its history, including the classified ones. She doesn't care how many favours she needs to pull.

Outside the base, All Might, the Shields, Izuku, Mei, and the Autobots scout out the base, and find that they're camping out in an old factory/shipping bunker leftover from the days of the first quirk awakenings and find that the base is heavily guarded. A hundred soldiers with automatic weaponry, another hundred in support, a dozen snipers overlooking the sight, and a couple dozen heroes on their payroll. They've got jeeps, Little Bird and Black Hawk helicopters, all six types of Vehicons, APCs, mini drones in the air...

And those're just on the outside. There's got to be twice, even triple the number inside the base.

Suffice to say that Sector Seven has more firepower than a small army, and they're trained in killing Cybertronians and anything else beyond that. Pulling all their men and resources into a confrontation at the front gate isn't going to be easy, but nothing ever is.

They're going to need one hell of a distraction.

Luckily All Might is one hell of a hero, and the Shields are one hell of an inventor pair.

In the base, the uploading process for Nemesis Prime is almost complete, but the scientists take the time to add in a failsafe system into the artificial Cybertronian's personality core. They wanted their new hero to be lifelike, yes. But they also wanted him to be better than the Cybertronians that they had fought again, and under their control.

Meanwhile, Marissa would read over many of the reports that Atari and Shaoshao were able to get her, and finds dozens of classified and blacked out reports of Autobots (the ones with the red badges) and even a Decepticon or two (the ones with the purple badges) going out of their way to assist and save other humans, only to be gunned down by Sector Seven's forces, who then framed the ones that the Cybertronians saved as villains and executed them too. Horrified by what she has found and realising that she has helped in the deaths of dozens of innocent people, Humans and Cybertronians, Marissa and her two friends in the force are given no time to react to the information as the black site comes under attack.

Outside, All Might and the Shields (piloting mech suits made out of the point robots from U.A., supplied to them by All Might) begin to wreck shop, tearing through Sector Seven's vehicles and Vehicons, and knocking down dozens of soldiers and hero mercenaries. Their attack succeeds in luring out the bulk of Sector Seven's forces in order to combat them, but Lenard Bishop is quick to realise that the attack is just a diversion, and that All Might wouldn't risk his entire career just to blindly attack them. He orders Nemesis Prime to be deployed.

Wildwheel's consciousness within him is quick to take control and begins to override the failsafe around his personality. Nemesis Prime rolls out to action.

On the other end of the facility, Izuku, Mei, and the Autobots carve their way into the facility and begin to sneak through the facility, eventually coming across Bumblebee's cell and freeing him, and then freeing Inko and Mei's parents.

However, when they arrive at Optimus Prime's containment centre, they are met by Marissa, Shaoshao, and Atari...

Who let them into the storage facility.

Confused and expecting a trap, the children and Autobots cautiously enter the containment centre, only to see the comatose body of Optimus Prime before them, laying on a wide table and in a new form that they hadn't seen him in before, looking patchworked and messy in construction. He was still alive but was otherwise in stasis. Marissa explained to them that Sector Seven had been trying to bring Optimus back online ever since its creation, but it had been a slow process. None of them knew anything about Cybertronian technology, and even after learning about them after so many years, Prime's physiology was unique to himself in a lot of ways: they didn't know how to fix him and didn't dare tamper with his internal components lest they might kill him. The best that they could do was a cosmetic overhaul.

Wheeljack is able to explain this: not only was Optimus a Point One Percenter, being a Cybertronian born with a uniquely powerful spark, but he was also a Matrix Bearer, having carried the Matrix of Leadership for four million years. Right now, he had a poor fuel substitute - synthetic energon created by Sector Seven - running through his veins and keeping him on barely any power. He needed the real deal.

Wheeljack opened his chest up to begin the repairs needed to move him but find that his chest is empty. The Matrix isn't there. The Autobots demand to know where it has gone - as it is an ancient relic of their home world, and of incredible symbolic importance to the Autobots and greater Cybertronian race - but neither Marissa nor her teammates know what the Matrix is. Neither do Izuku or Mei.

Outside, All Might and the Shields continue their fight against Sector Seven, but as reinforcements arrive, they find themselves, even All Might, find themselves tiring and wearing down.

Meanwhile, Nemesis Prime approaches Optimus' facility, murder on his mind.

The Autobots begin to donate some of their energon to bring Optimus back online but find that he is still too damaged to move. He needs to be carried out, and with the amount of Sector Seven personnel crawling over the facility, even with Marissa's help, they won't be getting out without a fight.

But then, something happens.

Izuku places his hand on Optimus' leg as a sign of respect... and Optimus suddenly surges with life.

In a flash of electricity, colour, and light, Optimus' internal components begin to repair themselves, mending wires and soldering metal back into place. The patchwork metal covering him is paved over and merged with his body, and he is returned to a new body and form (essentially, he's been transformed from his IDW Cybertronian body into his Evergreen appearance).

He awakens, but slumps over onto the floor, incredibly weak and in a daze, slowly coming to his senses and recovering.

And that's when Nemesis Prime joins in the fray.

The Autobots move to defend Optimus alongside the children and Marissa's men, alongside Artemis and Moon (sporting android bodies made from pieces of old Cybertronian corpses known as Cyberdroids) and Marrisa's agents. However, Nemesis Prime is too powerful, and when he states that he recognises Bumblebee from the USJ, said bot realises that Sector Seven have transferred Wildwheel's consciousness into the artificial frame.

However, just as he reaches Optimus, Wildwheel's personality finishes overriding Sector Seven's failsafe protocols over his mind, and he declares that he should kill Prime right now... but he won't. As he scratches a Decepticon logo onto both his shoulders, he declares that he will force Optimus to watch as he will call the Decepticons to this world and take his vengeance on Humanity, right before avenging the Cybertronians that they have terminated and killing Optimus Prime for daring to defend this planet instead of letting the hateful Humankind die out like they deserve.

He is no longer Wildwheel. He is Nemesis Prime, and he will have justice for his kind.

Nemesis Prime leaves the Sector Seven facility and uses his connection to the Vehicons to take control of the army of lifeless machines made from dead Cybertronians. Naming six of them his Vehicon Generals (Tankor for the Tank Drones, Thrustor for the Cycle Drones, Jetstorm for the Aero Drones, Fearstorm (a Prime Vehicon character) for the Car Drones, Obsidian for the Coptor Drones, and Strika for the Artilery Drones) and taking them all out of the facility, the newly christened Decepticon calls all the Vehicons across Japan to himself and goes on the march.

In the confusion, All Might and the Shields are able to get into the facility and meet up with the Autobots as they help Optimus up onto his feet. Lenard is quick to catch up to them with his own troops, and upon seeing Marissa and her two agents with them, as well as Artemis and Moon in their Cyberdroid bodies, is quick to declare them traitors to the cause and orders them to be killed next.

However, when they see Optimus Prime alive and awake, they stop in place in awe and wonder.

Optimus asks where he is, and a dozen voices cut in to try and share the details and their perspectives. However, it is Izuku who is able to explain to Prime what is going on: he's in a Sector Seven facility, he's been offline for a thousand years, he's just been repaired and awakened, and the Autobots are trying to free him and the others from Sector Seven's forces.

Lenard is quick to fire back that they've been protecting Optimus all this time, not keeping him prisoner. They'd been continuing Optimus' work for a thousand years, defending their world from hundreds of Cybertronian incursions and bringing about the end of hundreds of Cybertronian invaders.

However, Optimus is horrified by this news, and the final truth comes out to them:

Before the cataclysm that brought about the global awakening of quirks, Optimus had recieved word of an incoming Decepticon invasion of the Sol System and had left with an army of Autobots to defend Earth and all the worlds in its system. The ensuing Earth War had been devastating for both the Autobots, Decepticons, and Humanity. Thousands of Cybertronians had died in those days, and so had millions of Humans. By the end of it, Optimus had been the last Autobot left standing, and he singlehandedly drove off the last of the Decepticons by himself.

But it had come at a cost. Optimus had been damaged to the point of death and had involuntarily fallen into stasis. Before he fell though, he passed off the Matrix of Leadership to an ally of the Autobots, a family of Humans known as the Witwicky family, and founded, alongside Harold Attinger, Sector Seven as a group dedicated to combating the Decepticons should they ever return. He had hoped that, in time, other Autobots would arrive on Earth to help repair their world and protect their planet from the Decepticons.

Instead, as he learns now, Sector Seven had taken his intentions to the extreme and changed their mission statement to kill every Cybertronian that arrives on Earth, regardless of faction or intention, and then use their bodies to create an army of robots made out of corpses. And when he learns that they had created a copy of himself to serve as their new champion and propagator of that message, he is horrified even more.

Lenard is shocked by Optimus' disproval, and his forces are cowed, especially when All Might glares them down. However, when they receive reports of Sector Seven's Vehicons going rabid, Lenard and his loyalists use the opportunity to flee from the base and go into hiding. The rest of the Sector Seven soldiers, heroes, and personnel report that Vehicons all over Japan and Eastern Asia are going wild, performing a mass exodus out of their bases and storage facilities and travelling fast to Japan, gathering on the shores of the country and amassing for what must be a grand assault.

At their head was Nemesis Prime.

Realising that Nemesis was about to try and wipe out all life in Japan, starting with the city of Musufatu, before spreading out to the rest of the world, the Autobots and Sector Seven realise that the only way to defeat them is to team up with each other and prepare for a siege. However, the Autobots and Sector Seven are reluctant to work together, especially after everything that had happened between them, and how it was Humanitiy's own mistakes that got them into this mess in the first place.

It is Izuku, however, who points out the need to put aside their differences and work together, and when Optimus and All Might back him up, they are all able to come to an uneasy alliance.

So, whilst Nemesis and his Vehicon Generals gather their forces for the coming assault, the Autobots, heroes, children, and Sector Seven remnants make their way to Musufatu to warn them. And as the threat of the Vehicons becomes more and more clear, the city's defenders - heroes, police, and JSDF alike - gather outside of Musufatu to defend it. Izuku and Hatsume are able to get into U.A. and convince Nezu and the staff to send out the point robots - including the massive zero pointers - into the defence but are met with distrust and scorn from the students due to their status as wanted villains.

The two of them ignore it and head back out to the front.

As the Vehicons almost reach the city, and as the heroes and Autobots finish setting up their defences, Wheeljack, the Hatsumes, and the Shields are able to jury-rig a massive forcefield over the city via Cybertronian technology, I-Island equipment, and stuff that Hatsume grabbed from U.A. With this, the defenders are left on their own outside as the Vehicons approach.

And soon, the Battle of Musufatu begins.

Artillery fire goes through the air, as do bullets and laser bolts. The Autobots are right on the frontlines alongside All Might, Marissa's Sector Seven forces, and the rest of the heroes and defenders. The Villain Bots from U.A. are sent out onto the frontline to soak up damage and draw the attention of the Vehicons, allowing the heroes and Autobots to take them down. The massive Zero Pointers throw fire and blasts onto the hordes of Vehicons whilst the likes of Mount Lady and Godzillo throw massive boulders and chunks of land into the machines, before getting down and dirty and slamming themselves into the ground, sending shockwaves through the Vehicon lines and destroying hundreds of them in single fell swoops.

It is the largest battle ever seen upon the world. There haven't been fights like this since the days of World War Two. The defenders, Cybertronian and Human alike, give everything they have to defend Musufatu from the massive army of Vehicons...

But it isn't enough.

The gargantuan Zero Pointers are destroyed by Aero and Coptor Drones, and Godzillo is felled by those same swarms. Mount Lady would run out of steam under fire and collapse, swarmed over by hundreds of Vehicons. Even All Might would begin to tire, losing his energy and running out of time with each passing blow to and from him.

And inside the domed city, all the people within, U.A. students and civilians and the like, could do was watch in fear as the defenders are beaten back by the Vehicons.

And that's when Nemesis Prime joins in the fray.

Nemesis singlehandedly kills dozens of heroes all by himself and leads his Vehicon Generals right into the fray.

And then, he lands a shot onto the makeshift forcefield generator.

The domed shield around the city falls, and the Vehicons surge in.

The defenders' lines collapse, and the fighting turned from a full siege to street-to-street fighting. Entire buildings are destroyed, skyscrapers are toppled over, and the civilians are caught in the crossfire.

In U.A., the Vehicon General known as Fearstorm lands in the grounds, and he and his Car Drones begin to go to work, shooting up the place and reducing half of U.A. to rubble. It takes the combined efforts of both Class 1-A and B to bring down and kill Fearstorm, and even then, half of them are badly wounded in the process.

However, when Fearstorm dies, they realise that the rest of the Car Drones have become disoriented and weakened, losing much of their steam and becoming much more predictable. Warning the heroes of this, the message is sent out: take out the Vehicon Generals, and the rest of them will be weakened and lose much of their tactical advantages.

Soon, the defenders reprioritise and begin to work on destroying the Vehicon Generals and bring in even more people to help destroy them and their subordinates. From vigilantes to civilians and even villains, everyone is brought into the fight.

And in the meanwhile, the Autobots realise where Nemesis is going: he's climbing up the highest point in the city, being one of the skyscrapers, in order to set up a transmitter and broadcast his location to the Decepticons.

Though the other Autobots and heroes are distracted by the Vehicon Generals and with defending the Humans, Optimus, Bumblebee, Izuku, Mei, and Melissa catch up with Nemesis and engage him in battle, Optimus and Bumblebee keeping Nemesis busy whilst the children sneak up through the shattered skyscraper all the way to the top, finding the transmitter almost about to broadcast to the Decepticons far away from home.

Down below, the last of the Vehicon Generals is taken out, but despite losing much of their momentum, the Vehicons are still a massive threat, and the defenders realise that the last thing keeping them together is Nemesis Prime.

In the middle of the city, Optimus and Bumblebee continue to wail on Nemesis Prime, but he is simply too powerful for the both of them, and too full of rage to listen to them.

Up above in the skyscraper, Mei and Melissa try to find a way to dismantle and switch off the transmitter, but are stopped when Izuku applies the simple solution to the problem:

A One for All empowered Punch-Of-Kill-Everything.

The transmitter is destroyed in a burst of light and fire, right before it can complete its broadcast, and Nemesis is left in angst at this, and more enraged than ever before. Now with nothing else left to lose, Nemesis orders his Vehicons to raise the entire city and everyone in it, and continues to throw down with Optimus and Bumblebee, beating them both to a bloody pulp.

The tide of the fight turned when Izuku and All Might joined the battle, adding in their own punches and blows into Nemesis and buckling the metal. The opponents trade blow after blow on each other, shattering metal and steel, right before Bumblebee tried to land in a blow himself...

And Nemesis punched a hole through his chest, seemingly killing him.

Izuku flies into a rage, and with one last surge of energy, ends the fight in a single blow, planting his supercharged fist into Nemesis Prime's chest and completely destroying it, leaving a gaping hole where his spark should be.

Nemesis Prime collapses, and the Vehicons that he commanded shut down, either slumping to the ground or falling to the sky. The defenders cheer at their victory, but Izuku, Mei, and Melissa can find no cheer in them. Not while Bumblebee is laying dead on the ground.

However, Wheeljack is able to stabilise him and keep him alive, leaving the yellow Autobot to fall into stasis rather than leave them. The children cheer, but the mood is once more dampened when they see Nemesis Prime besides them, writhing on the floor in pain.

He is dying.

Izuku is shocked when he realises that he has effectively killed someone (something that a hero is not supposed to do), but none of the Autobots hold it against him. Instead, they simply gather around Nemesis to keep him company as he dies, with Optimus holding his hand as he fades away. Here, Nemesis - Wildwheel - finally comes to terms with what he has done and what he has helped do and bemoans how far from the Autobot ideal he has strayed. He's seen too many good Autobots fall to Sector Seven's - Humanity's - guns, and he wanted justice for them.

All he wanted was to avenge them.

Wildwheel dies inside of the body of Nemesis Prime, and all the Autobots can do is mourn the fall of one of their own.

In the aftermath of the battle, Musufatu begins to rebuild, though now with the existence of Cybertronians as common knowledge. Sector Seven's dirty dealings is exposed to the world and the organisation is disbanded, with members like Marissa Faireborn and her two agents acquitted. However, those like Lenard Bishop, now going by the name of Silas, would go underground with their own caches of Vehicons, forming the Cemetary Wind factions and continuing Sector Seven's grisly work.

The remaining Vehicons, however, would be melted down and stripped for parts. That was the official story, of course, but in reality, many of them had fallen into the hands of rival countries, criminal syndicates, and hero organisations, beginning an arms race for Cybertronain technology in the face of the Battle of Musufatu.

Meanwhile, the United Nations would reforge what was left of Sector Seven into the Earth Defence Command, or EDC for short, with Marissa Faireborn and her two agents Shaoshao Li and Atari Hitotonari in command. They would be working in conjunction with Optimus Prime and the Autobots in defence of Earth from extraterrestrial threats, though would find constant contention from Hitoshizuku Amaō (another Kiss Players character, no we are not getting lewd don't worry), the Japanese representative to the U.N., and someone who had lost her daughter, Shizuku Amaō, to the Cybertronians during the Battle of Musufatu. Suffice to say, she had a good reason to hate the Cybertronians, regardless of whether they were Autobot or Decepticon.

It doesn't help that Shaoshao and Atari have found evidence of experiments by Sector Seven around the process of Binary Bonding a human to what they called a Cybertronian Transtector, and find blueprints for processes and functions such as the Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters, and Godmasters.

In the battle's aftermath, All Might would run out of much of the juice that he had been running on with One for All and would be forced to announce his early retirement. Luckily, he is able to acquit Izuku and Mei of the charges against them, and they are allowed to go back to U.A. as students once again, and even as heroes of the battle. However, they are still met with distrust from their peers thanks to their former status' as villains and how they had gone on the run with the Autobots.

Some in their classes, such as Todoroki and Iida, would continue to express concern and distrust about the Autobots, especially if their relatives and loved ones were injured or killed in the Battle of Musufatu, but they would come across a Cybertronian who shared their concerns and wanted to see the Autobots pay for their crimes.

And what was in it for him? Well, Starscream wasn't going to tell anytime soon.

In the meantime, Izuku, Mei, and Melissa are given temporary licenses and clearances to help the Autobots in their activities thanks to their public affiliation with them and are made into honorary Autobots as well for their part in saving Musufatu. Their families move in with the Autobots as they are given a new facility - a new home and base - just outside of Musufatu - all to themselves and are there to greet new Autobot arrivals as they emerge from hiding and/or arrive on Earth.

It would be Wheeljack, the Hatsumes, and the Shields who eventually repaired Bumblebee and brought him back online, though while they were able to repair his voice, the rest of his body had to be rebuilt from the ground up. Bumblebee would comment that he felt like a gold bug, and then felt that the name had a nice ring to it.

As such, Goldbug was born.

Meanwhile, in the criminal underworld, new alliances are being forged and created in the wake of the battle and the emergence of the Cybertronians. Many villains like Spinner, Mr Compress, and Twice would see and be inspired by the good that the Autobots are doing for the world in defending and rebuilding Musufatu, as well as exposing and bringing down Sector Seven, and would decide to become vigilantes in their name, delivering justice onto corruption and those that would do harm in the uncertain streets of the world. Those like Toga would see the chaos left behind and be enthralled by it. Others, like Dabi, would simply take advantage of the devastation left behind and begin to forge their own paths in the uncertainty of it all.

Meanwhile, those like Stain would be approached by those who would seek to cleanse the world of filth. The Decepticon Bludgeon and his Mayhem Attack Squad (composed of Octopunch, Stranglehold, (G1), Overbite, Smoulder, Steamhammer, Thunderblast, Tuskmaster (IDW), and Fennec (Beast Wars Uprising)) would forge an alliance with Stain and his growing number of followers to cleanse the world of false heroes and idols.

Others, like Overhaul and Wolfram, would forge alliances with each other and grow to become powerful contenders in the fight to claim the criminal underworld for their own, especially after acquiring a number of Cemetary Wind squads and Vehicons for themselves.

However, other groups would engage in open war with each other, with the two groups known as Humarise and the Meta Liberation Army (now joined by Nine and his followers) would begin to wage a shadow war with each other over the spoils of the Cybertronian presence on their world.

Some would already claim those spoils. In a far-off corner of the world, the former Sector Seven scientists known as Giga and Mega would gather Human allies in the form of Cancer, Wilder, Bullhorn, and the famed Darkwing mercenaries Buster and Hydra, and binary bond them to their own Transtectors, as well as turning their cache of Vehicons into a new army for them to help them revive a trio of Decepticons known as Blood, Dauros, and Gilmer, and soon make their own claim on the world.

However, the EDC and Autobots would be ready to counter these new threats, as already existing agents such as the codenamed Lightfoot, Ranger, and Road King would begin the work of building Transtectors that suited them alongside the Autobots, whilst cadets like Minerva, Cab, and Shūta Gō would begin their training to fight alongside the Autobots with their own Transtectors.

However, somewhere in the depths of Japan, Shigaraki bemoans the fact that despite everything that the League of Villains had done in attacking the USJ and attempting to kill All Might, it was these Autobots and Vehicons, and even the shitty little green-haired boy from before that had stolen the spotlight away from them, and regrets ever bringing along that hulking piece of scrap Wildwheel. For all of his talk of his race's technology being far superior to anything on Earth, all of it was useless to him!

However, All for One would calm him down, and points out to him that this new era of uncertainty had netted them possibly hundreds of powerful new allies in the form of the Cemetary Wind factions, the likes of Humarise and the MLA, Mega and Giga's faction, and all the people who hated All Might and the Autobots across the world. They had just been granted a slew of new possible allies. All they had to do now was reach out to them.

And as Shigaraki and Kurogiri left to carry out his will and find those allies, All for One would feel the corruptive energies within him stir and smiles cruelly at the thought of One for All being passed down once again.

And all the way on Cybertron, Soundwave would report that Autobot resistance movements across the galaxy has suddenly become more organised and motivated, and that their enemies are finally beginning to gain ground on them. He also reports of possible activity on Earth, and his spies within Starscream's ranks report of the possible re-emergence of Optimus Prime...

The tyrant known as Megatron would stir for the first time in a thousand years.

But at the end, Izuku, Optimus, Goldbug, and their allies in both the Hatsumes, Shields, Autobots, and heroes would watch as the new arrivals to Earth gathered - the likes of Rewind and Ratchet, Eject and Whirl, Windblade and Hound, and so on - and would watch as the sun rose once more on a brand new day, confident that though it may seem like it never ends, whatever the future may bring, they could all face it together...

And that's how act one ends.

I'm not too sure about act two, but I have a few threads and plotlines in place for what could happen then.

1. The Autobots and EDC would work to take down the Cemetary Wind groups across the globe but would also foil a plot by Starscream and his seekers to speed up the Cybertronian arms race between the various factions across the Earth and plunge it into a third world war.

2. Izuku, Melissa, and Mei would dig up evidence of a growing alliance in the criminal underworld between the League of Villains and the Shie Hassaikai, meaning that the League have automatically become more powerful than ever before in the early days of canon.

3. We look through the villains' perspectives at a long running plot as we see the League come into conflict with both the MLA and Humarise, all before All for One brings them into the fold alongside numerous Cemetary Wind forces. However, they themselves come into conflict with a growing vigilante alliance headed by Spinner, Knuckleduster, Mr Compress, Twice, and the Autobot known as Atomizer.

4. Goldbug finds evidence of corruption within the HPSC and hero society itself when he discovers that the HPSC has several kidnapped Autobot scientists in their ranks and are forcing them to build an army of Cybertronians under their control.

5. Marissa comes into conflict with Hitoshizuku over EDC funding, with the latter's demand being to freeze the Autobots out of the EDC, or they will go bankrupt (no their solution is not a sexy calendar shoot, Kiss Players is not going to be a thing, get your head out of the gutter).

6. Izuku and Mei come under fire from members of both Class A and B at U.A. and are forced to come to terms with much of the stigma within hero society and the infamous phrase 'Once a villain, always a villain'. Thankfully, they find comfort in the form of Drift, a former Decepticon named Deadlock, now a faithful and steadfast Autobot. However, this stirs a conflict of ideology between the Autobots and heroes.

7. Izuku and Mei are sent to take some time off and relax by All Might and Optimus, eventually forced to sit out of the Sports Festival because of their injuries and the need to recover. However, when the Sports Festival is attacked by Stain, Bludgeon, and their Mayhem Attack Squad, the two of them leap into action to take on the villain and Decepticons.

8. Mei, Izuku, and Class A and B are sent off to train alongside the EDC cadets Minerva, Cab, and Shūta alongside their mentors Lightfoot, Road King, and Ranger. However, when Giga and Mega's forces attack them, alongside the newly awakened Blood, Dauros, and Gilmer, they must all work together to track the Decepticons and their Human loyalists down before they can awaken a great evil known as Devil Z, a being that was thought to be killed back during the days of the first quirk awakenings.

9. When Izuku, Mei, Melissa, and their Autobot friends come across a group of Cybertronians in Pretender disguises, led by former Decepticon Thundercracker, they discover that a group of Cybertronian neutrals that deserted from their respective armies (Thundercracker, Cerebros, Cyberwarp, Slog, Kakuryu, Groove, First Aid, Tigatron, Airazor, Trans-Mutate, and Rampage), and have also called themselves the Knights of Cybertron, have been hiding amongst Earth's people for years from their homebase of Fortress Maximus, and have simply been trying to find a home for themselves. The Humans and Autobots would have to defend the Knights from Starscream's seekers, before discovering that the Knights have a combiner on their side by the name of Grand Guardian (made up of First Aid, Groove, Slog, Kakuryu, Tigatron, and Cyberwarp, all of whom are parts of a combiner). After repelling Starscream and the Seekers, the Knights of Cybertron decide that while they won't join the Autobots, they will at least be careful allies of them.

10. Optimus Prime and All Might go on a brief sabbatical to locate the missing Matrix of Leadership, eventually discovering that One for All is itself the Matrix, whilst All for One is a corrupted splinter of it. This puts the emergence of quirks and their sudden link to the Transformers into question.

11. A bit of a comedy focus plot, but Izuku, Mei, and Melissa attempt to teach the Autobots the joys of Earth's various holidays. Shenanigans ensue.

12. Izuku finds himself with few allies in U.A. as a plot to frame him for the murder of a classmate is uncovered by the heroes and Autobots. Starscream's manipulations continue to seep into the school.

13. All Might and the heroes are informed of the League of Villains by Atomizer and the Vigilante Alliance and realise that All for One has grown more powerful than ever before.

14. The Autobots and heroes rescue the kidnapped Autobot scientists (Ironfist, Brainstorm, Perceptor, etc) from the HPSC, but that just encourages them to declare the Autobots and heroes that supported them as traitors and mobalise their new Cybertronians and loyal heroes on the EDC and Japanese government, launching a coup of the country.

15. The HPSC and League of Villains go to war, and the Autobots are caught in the middle. The HPSC are brought low by All for One and Shigaraki, and the Autobots, U.A., and the EDC are forced to pick up the pieces.

16. In the aftermath, All for One and the Decepticons go to war with each other, with Soundwave taking command of Giga and Mega's forces as his own, along with his cassettes. However, he and Starscream come to blows over leadership of the operation. Meanwhile, Detective Tsukauchi teams up with Nightbeat and Prowl to search for the League of Villains and their Cybertronian connections, eventually coming across a message from Silas calling for an alliance of all Cemetary Wind squads.

17. Devil Z is brought online, and he takes his Decepticon loyal humans to the planet of Nebulos. The Autobots, EDC Transtector pilots-in-training, and Izuku, Mei, and Melissa are forced to go after them and fight the Nebulan Hive as they finalise the process necessary to binary bond the Humans to their Transtectors. In turn, the Nebulan Rebellion allow the pilots to binary bond with their Transtectors as well, becoming the first Headmasters (Minerva, Cab, and Shūta (Goshooter)) and the first Powermasters (Lightfoot, Road King, and Ranger). Izuku, Mei, and Melissa are bonded to their own Transtectors and become the first Godmasters.

18. Silas had united dozens of Cemetary Wind factions into a united force by the name of MECH. Their first target? The EDC.

19. Whilst Devil Z had returned to Earth, the Autobots and Transtector pilots discover that Scorponok has used the science of Nebulos to create his own army of Decepticon Headmasters on Master (Weirdwolf, Fangry, Horri-Bull, Squeezeplay, Mindwipe, Skullcruncher, Apeface, Snapdragon, and Scorponok himself).

20. Bakugo wishes to challenge Izuku once again, but the green-haired boy has long since got over Bakugo's existence. At the same time, Sentinel Major arrives on Earth to try and spark up his old rivalry with Optimus Prime, refusing to accept that it was totally onesided and Optimus has completely forgotten about him.

21. With his own minion in Scorponok's brother, Black Zarak, Devil Z's Decepticons make a bid for power on Earth, sparking a brief Decepticon Civil War.

22. The League of Villains and MECH go to war with each other, and All for One welcomes Megatron onto Earth as an equal.

23. Megatron rallies the Decepticons to him and moves to take over Earth. He and Optimus clash on the battlefield, and the defenders of Earth are only just able to fend them off. In the middle of the battle, All Might and All for One come to blows, and All for One kills All Might. All of the power of One for All is channeled into Izuku, and he comes into contact with not just eight vestiges, but thirteen shadowy figures. Megatron kidnaps Izuku and invites All for One onto his ship, and the Decepticons depart for Cybertron. The Autobots learn that All for One and Izuku are actually two halves of the Matrix of Leadership, and the Knights of Cybetron reveal what Megatron intends to do: kill Izuku and All for One, revive Cybertron's core, and turn it into a battleworld fit to conquer the entire galaxy. But All for One himself is the corrupted portion of the Matrix and is host to something else entirely. If that takes over Cybertron, then who knows what will happen. The Autobots, Transector Pilots, Artemis, Moon, Mei, and Melissa go after them.

24. On the way to Cybertron, the Autobots are impeded by a pair of demonic beings known as Violen Jiger and Dark Nova, along with their army of Galaman and Novaroid drones. The Autobots are barely able to make it past them as they declare themselves to be servants of the Chaos Bringer.

25. Entire armies of Autobots, alongside Mei, Melissa, the Transtector pilots, and the Earthbound Autobots, arrive to stop Megatron, but it is too late. Izuku and All for One are both killed by Megatron and fed to the core, spreading their energies all over Cybertron. However, All for One reveals himself to not be the corrupted shards of the Matrix, but to be the spirit of Unicron himself - having been separated from his physical body by Primus millions of years ago - and now takes the dead body of Cybertron for his own, reformatting it into his new physical form, and doing the same to Megatron, turning him into Galvatron, his servant, and all the Decepticons on Cybertron into his Sweeps. Only Devil Z's forces, being mostly Human Transtectors, Soundwave (and his cassettes), Shockwave, and Starscream are spared. The Autobots and surving Deceptions flee back to Earth, and Dark Nova and Violen Jiger join their master as the Chaos Bringer feasts on the dead Cybertronian colonies, growing in size each time, before finally setting his sights on Earth. Meanwhile, the Earthbound Autobots and allies all mourn for Izuku's loss, but then realise something incredible: Izuku's spirit has somehow transferred to his Transtector, and he has become a fully-fledged Cybertronian.

26. Back on Earth, the Autobots and Decepticons gather and are forced to unite with the Earthbound defenders. As Unicron and his minions approach, the fight that breaks out between all of them is massive, and millions of Cybertronians are killed with each passing moment. As Earth is nearly consumed, Izuku and Optimus Prime commune with the spirit at the heart of Earth, the one who had activated the Matrix of Leadership so long ago, granted Earth the power of quirks, and sent the energies of the Matrix into One for All. The planet of Earth transforms into the goddess known as Gaea, who destroys Dark Nova and Violen Jiger, and does battle with her brother, Unicron. And as Optimus and Galvatron do battle for the last time, eventually killing each other, Izuku travels into the heart of Cybertron and, after summoning the powers of both the Matrix within him and the individual powers of every Human from Earth/Gaea, both quirked and quirkess, blessed to them via the Matrix and Gaea, and also summoning the strength of not just the eight vestiges, but the Thirteen Primes themselves, Izuku unleashes the purifying energies of the Matrix onto the spirit of Unicron, dispelling and destroying him, and freeing Cybertron from his corruptive malice, as well as the evils of All for One.

27. In the aftermath, the surviving Autobots and Decepticons watch as Gaea, that being Earth, merges with Cybertron to completely reformate it, turning the once metal world into a techno-organic paradise, capable of supporting both organic and mechanical life. Realising that they were so few in number now to justify continuing the war, and that Cybertron is even bigger now with Earth's added mass, the two current Autobot and Decepticon leaders, Goldbug and Soundwave, make peace with each other and declare the Third Great Cybertronian Civil War to be over, to which the Autobots and (most of the) Decepticons agree. Soon, Earthen and Cybertronian life is found repairing the damage that Gaea could not fix, and thousands of neutrals (inlcuding the Knights of Cybertron) return to their home world. And while some former Decepticons, such as Starscream and Devil Z's forces, and former Human villains, such as what's left of the League of Villains and Silas' MECH, refuse to accept the peace and continue to go about their usual scheming ways, the majority of Humanity and Cybertronians agree to put aside their differences to forge a new future together. The next big thing that humanity would need to get used to was their lack of quirks now, though. Thanks to Izuku's sacrifice in stopping Unicron/All for One and purifying Cybertron, all of their quirks are gone now, zapped away when the magics of the Matrix leave them.

28. In the meantime, the last acts of the story would focus on the mourning and funerals of Izuku, All Might, and Optimus Prime, and how their legacies would be the hope that the people of Cybetron, both Human and Cybertronian, would need to look forwards into the future...

29. And in said future, a long time after the Great Downsizing, a group of children, both Humans, Maximals, and Predacons, would gather around the statues of Izuku, All Might, and Optimus Prime, and would listen to the stories of the elderly Human/Maximal hybrids Mei and Melissa, accompanied by the Maximal and Predacon duo Artemis and Moon, as they recounted the tales of the three in statues, and the stories of the final days of the Great War, and their adventures on the old world of Earth...

Adventures that were always more than meets the heroic eye.)

Wow, I really went off the chain with this one... eh, I'm still proud of it.

Anyways, if you want to go off and use this idea, then feel free to send me a PM or comment if you're on Ao3. And as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and I shall see you all next time.

Titanmaster 117 out!
