Since this was a Cybertronian affair, Optimus asked G.U.N and their allies not to interfere unless necessary. The plan was simple; A small team of Autobots consisting of Optimus, Ratchet, Perceptor, Bumblebee, Rodimus, and Hot Rod would stealthily enter the cave from different vantage points surrounding the Allspark, take out the security and guards, get the Allspark out of the rock face, hold off any Decepticons that eventually arrive, bridge out of there, and lock the Allspark in the Vault. The mission began at 5:00 AM, so the Autobots wore dark colors to blend in with the dark of the foggy morning. They entered the cave at 5:02 and found the security console. Perceptor and Ratchet got rid of the Egg-pawn and disabled security, giving the Autobots at least 5 minutes before the Decepticons arrived to see what was going on. At 5:05, the robots surrounding the Allspark were destroyed. \u201cAll right, here comes the tough part,\u201d muttered Optimus as he approached the cube. \u201cPrimus, if only this thing were smaller!\u201d He touched the cube, then\u2026it happened! It looked like the Allspark was folding in on itself. The Autobots gasped, worried that the Allspark was disintegrating. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t what I\u2026!\u201d wailed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait! Sir! Look again!\u201d called Perceptor. \u201cThat\u2019s too orderly for a disintegration!\u201d Upon closer inspection, Optimus saw that the Allspark seemed to be pixelating itself and the pixels entered each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir, I think it\u2019s shrinking!\u201d declared Bumblebee. \u201cHow did you do that?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know!\u201d protested Optimus. \u201cI just wanted it to be easier to carry and\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Allspark responded to the touch of a Prime back in the day,\u201d rasped a voice. \u201cI suppose it acts on a Prime\u2019s will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMegatron!\u201d growled Optimus. Megatron had arrived with Starscream, Soundwave, and Rumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBack away from the Allspark!\u201d warned Megatron as he leveled his fusion cannon. \u201cWe DON\u2019T want this situation to escalate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere IS a way for this to defuse,\u201d offered Optimus. \u201cWe can guard the Allspark and save Mobius any further trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Allspark is best left in Decepticon hands!\u201d countered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have information that says the Allspark MUST be protected!\u201d urged Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInformation that came from 50 years into our future?\u201d asked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026That was oddly specific,\u201d muttered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike you, I have someone from our future that says the Allspark is best kept in Decepticon hands,\u201d explained Megatron as Galvatron appeared from the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello again\u2026brother,\u201d greeted Galvatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Mom had a fourth kid?\u201d quizzed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, you idiot!\u201d snapped Galvatron as he pointed to Megatron. \u201cI\u2019m him from the future!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026What do you call yourself then? Gigatron?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGalvatron, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHah! Lame!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy soldiers came up with it after I made the mistake of killing you. Look, let us have the Allspark and the future will be that much more secure and happy for you. In my time, we only found the Allspark\u2019s shattered remains!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor all I know, you shattered the Allspark and the resulting explosion killed me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI still remember that day and\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cENOUGH!\u201d shouted Megatron. \u201cOptimus, I won\u2019t ask again! Give me the Allspark!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot a chance in the Pit!\u201d answered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen I\u2019m left with no choice but to pry it from you! Decepticons, ATTACK!\u201d The Decepticons charged as Optimus and Megatron locked themselves into a duel of axe versus mace while Galvatron fought Rodimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou just couldn\u2019t resist, could you!\u201d snarled Rodimus as he swung his punches. \u201cYou saw an opportunity for a Decepticon future and decided to take it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe world will be better with us in charge than our enemy!\u201d argued Galvatron as he swung a sword at Rodimus. Rodimus side-stepped and drew an energy-launcher bow. \u201cWe will use the Allspark to control the universe!\u201d ranted Galvatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour ambitions are nothing more than a dirty Decepticon trick!\u201d argued Rodimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they traded blows and barbs, the Autobots and Decepticons were unaware of a third party watching the whole fight. \u201cDoctor, should we move in?\u201d asked a robot to the main observer, Dr. Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, not yet,\u201d replied Eggman. \u201cWait until Optimus activates the Allspark\u2019s creation functions, then we snatch it up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optimus was bashed in the head by Megatron\u2019s flail. \u201cGive it up, Optimus!\u201d snarled Megatron. \u201cYou\u2019re not guarding the Allspark! That\u2019s best left to the Decepticons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019d never be able to use it!\u201d argued Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHence why it\u2019s safer in Decepticon hands!\u201d Megatron then slugged Optimus in the jaw, forcing the Autobot leader to fall and drop the Allspark. Before Megatron even knelt down to pick up the cube, Optimus swung his leg into Megatron\u2019s, tripping him up and knocking him down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerfect!\u201d muttered Eggman as he observed the readings on his scanner. \u201cIt\u2019s still in an active state! Now for the ol\u2019 \u2018yoink\u2019!\u201d He pulled out a gun-like device with a four-digited claw and aimed it at the Allspark. He giggled a little bit before pulling the trigger. The gun then fired the claw as a metal cable bridged the gap between gun and claw. The claw sought out the Allspark and clamped itself onto the cube before the cable pulled it back to the gun. The combatants stopped fighting to see what was going on. \u201cExcellent!\u201d cheered Eggman. \u201cMy new invention\u2019s almost fully tested!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s going on?!\u201d demanded Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, just the culmination of my first steps into your world!\u201d laughed Eggman as he leveled the device at five different vehicles; an anti-aircraft truck with two large guns on the back, a tank supplied with a double-barreled gun on top of the main gun, a space-capable jet fighter, a helicopter with a gatling gun on each side, and a jeep with a cannon on the back. \u201cNow, watch as I give birth to the culmination of my ambitions!\u201d cheered Eggman as he leveled the gun at the five vehicles, Allspark first. He pulled the trigger and the Allspark fired a stream of light onto the vehicles. The treatment lasted a few seconds until Eggman released the trigger, terminating the light stream. Everyone waited for a while. \u201c\u2026Something should be\u2026\u201d muttered Eggman before five Mobians appeared, a Great Dane stood by the anti-aircraft truck, a Horse appeared next to the tank, a Rat materialized on the jeep\u2019s , a Pigeon was under the helicopter\u2019s blades, and an Ox appeared in the jet\u2019s cockpit. They lined up and stood at military attention. \u201cExcellent!\u201d cheered Eggman. \u201cNow, my creations, report! How much mastery do you have over your t-cogs?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTotal mastery, Dr. Eggman, Sir!\u201d replied the Great Dane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen sound off and show us!\u201d ordered Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cONSLAUGHT, TRANSFORM!\u201d called the Great Dane. As the holo-form vanished, the cab of the truck split and the front tilted up to form feet as the rear split and folded down to the sides to form arms. The gun assembly rotated so it faced the rear, and the arms pushed the whole robot up as a head popped out and the torso rotated at the waist. The head had a single visor for optics and the robot took on a navy-blue color with military green highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBRAWL, TRANSFORM!\u201d shouted the Horse. Arms swung out of the front treads as the rear of the tank unfolded into legs. The front treads became shoulders as a robot\u2019s head with a visor popped out as the barrels of the guns rotated to give the illusion of a rifle strapped to his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSWINDLE, TRANSFORM!\u201d announced the Rat. The front of the jeep folded down and split to become legs as the rollbar folded up and allowed the arms to fall into place. After the visored head came out, the robot pushed himself up and he turned to face forward as the gun fixed itself onto his right upper arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVORTEX, TRANSFORM!\u201d crowed the Pigeon. The helicopter\u2019s front split and rotated to become legs as the tail folded into a better position to release the head while the rotor blades folded towards the tail and the sides of the rear became arms with a gatling gun on each one. Like his compatriots, he turned to reveal an optical visor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBLAST OFF, TRANSFORM!\u201d announced the Ox. The rear of the jet split and folded down to become legs and feet as the cockpit and nosecone folded onto the back and arms came out of the sides. The head, you guessed it, had a visor. The new Transformers stood at rapt attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIT WORKED\u201d cheered Eggman. \u201cThe culmination of my research! I have created new warriors! My combative constructs shall be my elite guard! Behold, Transformers from beyond the stars! Behold, the Mobian-born Combaticons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026A fine piece of engineering, Doctor,\u201d chuckled Megatron as he looked inspected the new Combaticons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, it IS me we\u2019re talking about,\u201d boasted Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnslaught, was it?\u201d Megatron asked the first Combaticon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat is correct,\u201d replied Onslaught. \u201cI am the leader of this team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSplendid,\u201d chuckled Megatron. \u201cYou shall be an excellent weapon against the Autobots. Now, tell me\u2026whom do you serve?\u201d He held out his hand for a handshake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Lord Eggman, who\u2019s this presumptuous walking corpse?\u201d asked Onslaught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I beg your pardon,\u201d hissed Megatron, \u201cwhat did you call me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the one who kept usurping me,\u201d replied Eggman. Megatron goggled at Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You DID design them to be Decepticons, right?\u201d asked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnslaught, show him who the REAL lord of machines is,\u201d ordered Eggman. Onslaught leveled the guns on his back at Megatron and fired, knocking him into the cave wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
