Sonic then appeared on Tails\u2019 part of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey, has anyone seen Amy?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIsn\u2019t she on the <em>Blue Typhoon<\/em>?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, I thought she went over to either the <em>Ark<\/em> or the <em>Fang<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, she ain\u2019t on my ship,\u201d answered Grimlock. Yoketron then came onto the <em>Ark<\/em>\u2019s bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone, I can\u2019t find Trema, Sira, or Natalie,\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?!\u201d demanded Optimus. \u201cTeletraan, find Amy, Sira, Natalie, and Trema!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSearching\u2026and\u2026oh, for Primus\u2019 sake!\u201d groaned Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re on Nebulos! They\u2019re meeting with Llyra and the Autobot Headmasters and are gonna face the \u2018Novacons\u2019 or whatever the Pit they call themselves now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?! Get them back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHold up\u2026no, I don\u2019t think we should.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWHAT?!\u201d This question was repeated by everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt looks like they\u2019re all about to prove that Hi-Q was being stupid with his bomb,\u201d chuckled Teletraan. \u201cHe, Kari, and two other scientists are with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Novacons trudged through the forest with their Headmaster partners riding on their backs. Zarak looked through the trees as he sat behind Black Scar\u2019s beast mode eyes. \u201cHe\u2019s around here somewhere,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know he\u2019s at the center of the forest!\u201d grunted Spasma as she held onto Apeface\u2019s back. \u201cWhy are we at the edge?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause he might have moved,\u201d replied Zarak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t see why,\u201d muttered Vorath as he sat between Mindwipe\u2019s wings. \u201cHe\u2019s not exactly expecting combat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cQuit yakking!\u201d grunted Krunk as he and Snapdragon knocked a few trees down. \u201cHe\u2019s got Galen with him and he\u2019s smarter than he looks!\u201d Weirdwolf then stopped and sniffed the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is it?\u201d asked Monzo as he looked to his partner. \u201cWhat do you smell?\u201d Weirdwolf\u2019s optics then went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Autobot Headmasters!\u201d he yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?! Now?!\u201d cried Grax as she and Skullcruncher looked around the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom the north!\u201d warned Weirdwolf. \u201cAnd I\u2019m getting new scents now! \u2026It\u2019s a quartet of Nebulans and\u2026and the Mobian Visitors that aided in our downfall!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTREMA!\u201d growled Zarak. \u201cPrepare for battle!\u201d Trema, Amy, Sira, Natalie, Llyra, Hi-Q, a young Nebulan man named Hi-Test, another Nebulan man named Rev, and Kari stepped out of the trees first. They were all wearing Nebulan Planetary Defense Force armor and had their guns ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were ordered to leave Nebulos on pain of death!\u201d growled Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s no way to address your old father!\u201d replied Zarak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the ONLY way to address disgraced traitors like you and your friends!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve hear enough of that skak\u2019s mouth!\u201d snarled Grax. Spasma then slapped the back of her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWatch the slurs!\u201d she warned. \u201cIf men cannot call us that, we cannot call each other that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s enough!\u201d called Llyra. \u201cBy setting foot on Nebulos, you have signed your death warrants!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNebulos is MINE to command!\u201d growled Zarak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSorry, Nebulos is closed to Decepticons and all related branches!\u201d came a new voice. Five vehicles then entered the area with the Autobot Headmasters riding them. Galen leapt out from a short-range shuttle, Stylor stepped out of a super car, Arcana landed her fighter jet and stepped out of the cockpit, much to the jet\u2019s annoyance, Duros parked his tank before stepping out of the cockpit, and Gort jumped out of his twin-rotored helicopter, leaving it to hover in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGalen!\u201d snarled Zarak. \u201cIt\u2019s been too long, my son-in-law!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot there yet, believe it or not,\u201d remarked Galen. \u201cNow, I say again, get the hurg off my planet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll my life, my power was limited!\u201d retorted Zarak. \u201cNow, thanks to Scorponok and Black Scar, I have no need for limits!\u201d He turned to his team. \u201cNOVACONS, TRANSFORM AND CONQUER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess we\u2019re doing this,\u201d muttered Galen. He turned to Llyra and her team. \u201cGive us some cover fire.\u201d After they nodded, he turned to the Autobot Headmasters. \u201cBoys and girls, it\u2019s time to put ourselves through our paces! OMNIBOTS, TRANSFORM AND DEFEND!\u201d Grax stuck both arms to her right, then rotated them to the left until the left arm held her fist up and the right held her fist sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d she called. Her partner then spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSKULLCRUNCHER, ANNIHILATE!\u201d The tail split down the middle from the tip and attached to each side, then the backside folded out to reveal legs. The lower torso then rotated to face the audience. The head swung down to reveal the robot\u2019s shoulders and robot hands came out as the front beast feet folded onto the wrists. Grax transformed into her head-mode, one with a yellow face and a red visor, and attached to the robot\u2019s shoulders. Skullcruncher was complete as he roared to the heavens. Stylor started his team\u2019s sequence. He held his left fist to his hip and moved his right hand forward slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCHROMEDOME, CENTRALIZE!\u201d called the car. The front of the car folded to the roof as the sides split away and sprouted hands. The rear then split and folded down while letting feet pop out. Stylor then transformed into his head mode (one with an orange face and a pair of white horns) and attached to the robot. Chromedome was complete. Vorath was next. He swung both arms to his right side, then rotated them to his left, then pulled his right hand back before putting it back to its original position while his left hand went to his hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d he announced. Mindwipe readied himself and Vorath changed into a head with a visor and a Fu Manchu moustache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMINDWIPE, ANNIHILATE!\u201d shrieked the bat. The tail swung towards the front as the rear of the bat swung down to make legs. The areas where the wings were attached swung 180\u2070 and unfolded arms with the hands popping out. The bat head swung down to allow Vorath\u2019s head mode to attach to the shoulders. The rear of the bat was now the front of the robot. Mindwipe was now complete as he gave a screech. Arcana began her transformation sequence as she stuck out her right pointer and middle finger, then tapped them against her fist as if they were a tuning fork, and then held the right hand near her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBRAINSTORM, CENTRALIZE!\u201d called her jet. The underside of the jet folded towards the rear and the assembly rotated as the wings turned to the opposite direction and their sides split away from the fuselage as it folded down to become a torso. Hands then sprouted from the wing sides and Arcana transformed to her head mode, one with a yellow face and a white helmet, and attached to the robot. Brainstorm then gave a cocky smirk as he made a finger gun and pointed it at the Novacons. Monzo stuck his right arm to the side and his left arm pointed towards the right. He then rotated his arms, so they were sticking out to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHEAD ON!\u201d he called as he pulled an imaginary rip cord on his left arm with his right. He transformed into a head with a red visor and a red face. Weirdwolf howled as he prepared to transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWEIRDWOLF, ANNIHILATE!\u201d The tail detached from the rump as it went up to allow the rear paws to fold into the legs. The legs then folded up and straightened to make robot legs. The front paws folded back to reveal humanoid arms as the wolf head folded back to allow Monzo to attach to his shoulders. Weirdwolf howled like a wolf when he was complete. Duros then moved his right hand near his shoulder, then moved it down to his left hip in a diagonal manner while his left hand ran parallel to reach his right shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHARDHEAD, CENTRALIZE!\u201d The rear of Duros\u2019 tank then tilted down and split with hands sprouting from the tread assemblies as the front of the tank split and unfolded into legs, making the cockpit the torso with the gun barrel resting on the right shoulder. Duros transformed into the robot\u2019s head, a yellow face with a gray-brown helmet, and set himself between the shoulders. Hardhead then whipped out a gun and leveled it at the Novacons. Spasma was next as she placed her right elbow on her left wrist and moved the arm configuration across her chest, then she placed her wrists together with one hand on top of the other and pushed outwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d she roared as she rotated her hands. She jumped up and turned into a head as Apeface roared and pounded his chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAPEFACE, ANNIHILATE!\u201d he shouted. His gorilla arms swung backwards, and the forearms and hands folded upwards. The sides of the gorilla\u2019s chest swung up and extended to become legs. The turbines he was wearing extended to reveal arms and the gorilla legs swung up to become shoulders. Spasma\u2019s head-mode connected to the shoulders, completing Apeface\u2019s robot mode as he pounded his chest, roaring. Gort was next as he rotated his arms so his left hand was above his right shoulder and his right hand was pointing down, resting below the left hand near his hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d he called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHIGHBROW, CENTRALIZE!\u201d called the helicopter. The front of the vehicle split and unfolded into legs and feet while the rotor assemblies rotated backwards and unfolded to become arms. The rear of the helicopter then folded to the underside (now the back of the robot) and Gort transformed into his head mode (one with a white face and a dark-brown helmet) and plugged into the space between the shoulders. Highbrow then twirled a gun in each hand before leveling it at the Novacons. Zarak put his left fist to his hip and thrust his right hand across his front in a diagonal fashion and slowly rotated it to his right side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHEAD\u2026\u201d he bellowed. He then pulled his right hand into a fist and put it to his hip and thrust his left arm across his front. \u201c\u2026ON!\u201d Zarak then leapt into the air and transformed to his head mode<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBLACK SCAR, ANNIHILATE!\u201d called Black Scar. The spider then changed in a fashion similar to Blackarachnia, but the mouth parts and pedipalps formed pincer-style claws. Zarak then attached to his torso. The visor flashed red and Black Scar snarled. Galen held his left hand to his left hip as his right hand was held past his left shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHead on!\u201d he called as he moved his right hand past his right shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCEREBROS, CENTRALIZE!\u201d called the shuttle. The transformation was like a Headmaster partner\u2019s, just in reverse. Galen transformed into his head mode (standard Transformer silver face with a domed, purple-gray head) and connected to his partner. Cerebros then adopted a hand-to-hand combat stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCovering fire now!\u201d called Llyra. She and her team opened fire on the Novacons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNOVACONS!\u201d bellowed Black Scar. \u201cNO PRISONERS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOMNIBOTS, DEFEND THE FOREST!\u201d called Cerebros to his team.
