Within a jungle, a dark blue-purple gorilla with glowing blue eyes knuckled his way on the ground. He stopped and sat down so he could fill his belly. He grabbed some of the familiar vegetation and ate it. As he ate, he noticed lights in the sky. His mind immediately went to fight or flight mode. He chose the former option and found a good tree to hide in. He went inside it and decided to sit out the light show until it stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the atmosphere of the jungle planet of Animatros, two massive starships were unleashing their arsenal on each other. One was colored in blues, grays, and whites, known as the Metrotitan, Fortress Maximus. He and his Autobot, Nebulan, and Mobian crew were being rocked by laser fire coming from the old Metrotitan body of his hated nemesis, Scorponok. Inside Fortress Maximus\u2019 bridge, Optimus and his buddies were being tossed around as they struggled to man their stations. \u201cHull breach in sector seven!\u201d called Tails. \u201cGuidance systems failing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is ridiculous!\u201d groaned Fortress Maximus as his robot mode appeared on screen. \u201cI\u2019m an Exploration-type Metrotitan, not a Battle-type!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo choice!\u201d grunted Optimus. \u201cYou were the only one who could lock on to the Decepticons\u2019 transwarp trail and get us to catch up in any reasonable time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShields are doing a major fade!\u201d called Teletraan 1 as his avatar appeared next to Fortress\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlasma cannons to full power!\u201d ordered Goldbug. Prowl\u2019s fingers keyed in the necessary commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the bridge of Scorponok\u2019s old body, the former Headmaster-Metrotitan-downsized-to-Predacon got a reading on the enemy ship. \u201cTheir shields are down!\u201d he called to Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe must destroy them now!\u201d urged Strika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s the fun in that?!\u201d asked Morgane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s right, a little torment is in order!\u201d agreed Megatron. \u201cSide guns!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scorponok\u2019s body maneuvered alongside Fortress and fired the side guns right into his sides! Fortress howled in pain on the bridge. \u201cRupture!\u201d he cried. \u201cThe hangar\u2019s been breached!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGuys, engines are offline!\u201d reported Tails. \u201cWe\u2019re going down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLaunch all ships inside the hangar!\u201d ordered Optimus. \u201cGet them into safe orbit!\u201d Tails, Goldbug, and Grimlock dashed to their ships. Once they were on their respective bridges, the ships launched out of damaged hangar and made it into orbit around Animatros. As Fortress fell, he turned in a way that his guns were pointing at his old rival\u2019s underside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCliffjumper!\u201d called Fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see it!\u201d answered Cliffjumper as he fired the plasma cannons. The shot struck true and knocked Scorponok\u2019s body out of orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the enemy bridge, Scorponok got a new report. \u201cEngines offline!\u201d he called. \u201cWe\u2019re going down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet our ships in orbit!\u201d ordered Megatron. Shockwave, Eggman, Morgane, and Thundercracker made their way to the hangar and got the ships out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Metrotitans soon went through the heat of atmospheric entry. They would soon reach an area where they would be cooled, but it would be long after they crashed. They managed to separate from each other. When they landed, they bounced, then skidded, leaving a huge cut of desolation on the surface of Animatros. They soon stopped. Scorponok\u2019s body ended up in a lava-ridden area while one of Fortress\u2019 front landing strips straddled a canyon with a river flowing beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within Fortress\u2019 bridge, the crew picked themselves up and started checking themselves over for damage. They had seen better days. As they checked themselves, a console beeped. Prowl looked at it and reported what it was. \u201cThe Ark<\/em>, Fang<\/em>, and Blue Typhoon<\/em> are hailing us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOpen a channel,\u201d directed Optimus as he looked at the scar running across his left optic. \u201cScrap, that was a landing!\u201d Tails, Goldbug, and Grimlock appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs everyone okay?!\u201d asked Tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThankfully, yeah, we are,\u201d replied Fortress. \u201c\u2026For the most part, at least. We\u2019re pretty banged up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSome more than others,\u201d remarked Optimus. \u201cFortress, damage report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBelieve me, you DON\u2019T want to know,\u201d replied Fortress. Optimus sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s what I thought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe good news is that Maximal City is about four miles south of us. The bad news is that they aren\u2019t responding to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, if a Metrotitan crashed near me, I\u2019d wanna investigate,\u201d muttered Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUh oh,\u201d gulped Cliffjumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUh oh?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrime, we\u2019re gonna need to adopt our old Mobian transformation restrictions here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell?!\u201d snarled Megatron to Scorponok. \u201cCan any allies be reached?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI wish I had a clear answer,\u201d replied Scorponok. \u201cNo Predacon\u2019s ever ventured this far, even though it\u2019s a tactical fallback position for Predacon City. It\u2019s five miles north-northeast of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen we\u2019ll get to them later. Is there Energon on this planet?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course there is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot so good, it\u2019s too much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLord Megatron, I just got an Energon Field Density reading,\u201d called Knock-out. \u201cIt looks like the Energon Field\u2019s just like Mobius.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSLAG!\u201d Megatron snarled, then took a breath. \u201cAll right, we\u2019ll just have the same transformation restrictions as we did on Mobius.\u201d An alarm then rang through the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProximity alert!\u201d warned Scorponok. \u201cSomeone\u2019s coming!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIdentify them!\u201d The cameras spotted what was coming. It was a variety of metal animals roughly Cybertronian sized. They were a purple and yellow Tarantula, a purple T-rex, a red Pteranodon, a red Fire Ant, and a green Wasp. Scorponok ran another scan and managed to find a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s all right! They\u2019re Predacons!\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen let us greet them,\u201d chuckled Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaximal City, please respond!\u201d Optimus urged over the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo good, Sir,\u201d grumbled Perceptor. \u201cThe Maximal Communications Towers are all offline. We could only communicate with each other on Mobius because of a good network that could pass through the Energon field. Here, we don\u2019t have that luxury. Anything over a hundred meters, the comms aren\u2019t worth scrap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeachy!\u201d groaned Optimus. \u201cWith our alt-modes, we\u2019d stick out like a sore thumb! The only ones who could potentially\u2026wait, they just might be the answer! Get the Fang<\/em>! Have Grimlock beam down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grimlock was brought to Animatros\u2019 surface. \u201cYou rang?\u201d he asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI want you and your team,\u201d explained Optimus, \u201cto get to Maximal City to announce our presence. Our vehicle modes would make us stick out, but you guys are already beasts, since it\u2019s been confirmed that there are Animatronians who have dinosaur alt-modes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI get it, you want us to ease the Maximals into seeing cars and trucks and other things that go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBingo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right then, let me just rally the Dyno-bots and we\u2019ll be good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI knew I could count on you!\u201d Grimlock headed off to find his team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Within a jungle, a dark blue-purple gorilla with glowing blue eyes knuckled his way on the ground.
