Optimus was now in Maximal City with Grimlock and Llyra. \u201cSo, let me make sure I understand this,\u201d he remarked, \u201cyou guys tied your defense A.I. to the most powerful super-computer in Transformer history and keyed it so that only your leaders could access it, is that correct?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I mean, it sound stupid when you say it like that,\u201d replied Nightscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what the original Maximal Elders were thinking,\u201d sighed Optimus, \u201cbut their decision has clearly left you guys vulnerable. We first need to sever Sentinel from Vector Sigma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHold on!\u201d protested Kong. \u201cThe Oracle can look into the future! It can teach a computer how to predict an enemy\u2019s movements!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can do that just fine without it!\u201d argued Grimlock as Optimus keyed in a command. An image of a mere fraction of the universe then appeared in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am the Oracle,\u201d greeted an ethereal voice. \u201cAfter the Central God, Primus, was, before the ancestral home-world, Cybertron, was, I was. Who awakens me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOracle\u2026Vector Sigma\u2026you know, you got more names than a Tolkien character!\u201d snapped Optimus. \u201cIn any case, it\u2019s Optimus Prime again, on Animatros.\u201d There was silence for but a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Why have you awakened me again, Optimus?\u201d asked the super-computer in the voice Optimus was familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have an A.I. bound to your programming, Vector Sigma,\u201d explained Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn A.I. that is an extension of my will. To sever it from me would be like asking you or the Maximals to cut off one of your limbs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo we DON\u2019T touch Sentinel just yet,\u201d guessed Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot until you hear what I can only hint at about all Transformers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s THAT supposed to mean?\u201d asked Llyra. The room was then surrounded by stars as the planet of Cybertron appeared in the center. An explosion of red, purple, blue, and green light then erupted from Cybertron\u2019s canyons. Vector Sigma then resumed speaking in its ethereal voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Great Transformation awaits, Optimus Prime. Prepare for all that you knew to be reformatted. The Divine Experiment will end and those who seek a conclusion will try to stop you. Remember this: the seeds of the future lie buried in the past. To unleash the warrior within, you and your brother must do as your Animatronian allies have done and tame the beast without. Seek balance, Optimus Prime. Transform your destiny. Transform and transcend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over with Megatron, the Predacons were ignoring Megatron\u2019s orders to remain. They seemed to be in a trance. \u201cDON\u2019T LEAVE! I SAID STOP!\u201d roared Megatron. The Predacons didn\u2019t listen, they just left the Decepticons. Megatron snarled before turning to Thundercracker. \u201cGet those deserters back NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey won\u2019t listen to outsiders,\u201d called Weirdwolf in full robot mode. \u201cIt\u2019s the Call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The Call?\u201d asked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Call of the Flame Convoy,\u201d explained Weirdwolf. \u201cAll those with a beast mode can hear a frequency that calls them to the Pangea<\/em> so the Flame Convoy can address all of Animatros in one place. It can be resisted until all business is concluded, but it prevents an Animatronian from killing another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, that\u2019s fine!\u201d grunted Megatron, sarcasm thick on his voice. He then doubled over in mental pain and heard Vector Sigma\u2019s words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Great Transformation awaits, Megatron. Prepare for all that you knew to be reformatted. The Divine Experiment will end and those who seek a conclusion will try to stop you. Remember this: the seeds of the future lie buried in the past. To unleash the warrior within, you and your brother must do as your Animatronian allies have done and tame the beast without. Seek balance, Megatron. Transform your destiny. Transform and transcend.\u201d The prophecy then stopped and Megatron steadied his breathing<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cReformatted?!\u201d he gasped. \u201cExperiment?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back in Maximal City, Vector Sigma showed another vision. It was set in the jungle. A yellow-orange femme with mobile crane alt-mode kibble was stumbling around in pain. Optimus\u2019 optics lit up. \u201cRoadblock!\u201d he breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Rattrap and his group, Rattrap continued sifting through Inferno\u2019s mind. Sonic, as usual, was getting restless. \u201cMan, I could go for a run right now!\u201d he groaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou and me both, Sonic,\u201d muttered Cheetor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, be patient, will you?\u201d admonished Airazor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHang on a cycle,\u201d muttered Rattrap, \u201cthis can\u2019t be right!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhenever I see her glancing at herself, I see another body! It\u2019s like she was Cybertronian!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo way, from Cybertronian to Animatronian?!\u201d asked Cheetor. \u201cThat\u2019s so cool!\u201d He then felt his partners\u2019 gazes on him. \u201cI mean, under normal circumstances, it would be cool! I mean, the circumstances\u2026yeah, I\u2019ll just shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOracle,\u201d Kong asked Vector Sigma, \u201cis Roadblock on the planet?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am,\u201d replied the femme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026You can see us?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can. And I can communicate with you now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho\u2019s Roadblock?\u201d asked Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAn Autobot war hero,\u201d explained Optimus. \u201cShe led the charge against Jhiaxus\u2019 predecessor, Deltron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRoadblock, thank the Matrix you\u2019re alive!\u201d cheered Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I became trapped!\u201d hissed Roadblock. \u201cI was abandoned!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is Megatron\u2019s doing, no doubt,\u201d replied Optimus. He then held his hand out. \u201cBut, my and my friends can hel-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSTAY AWAY FROM ME!\u201d shouted Roadblock. \u201cThe Decepticons aren\u2019t the problem, the Dynasty of Primes is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back with Rattrap and his team, Rattrap uncovered more. \u201cSlagheap City!\u201d he swore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?!\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe bot Inferno was! I just saw her shake hands with Tarantulas!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo HE\u2019S the one behind all this!\u201d declared Cheetor. \u201cWe\u2019ll scrap him for that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan you uncover more?\u201d urged Airazor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGive me a cycle!\u201d The Maximals then heard something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Oh no, the Call!\u201d groaned Cheetor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ve still got business to settle here, kid!\u201d Rattrap went back to work as Cheetor explained the Call to Sonic. Rattrap only lasted a few seconds before he gasped. \u201cSay it ain\u2019t so!\u201d he gulped. He then pulled his tail out of Inferno\u2019s head. \u201cInferno is\u2026the Autobot war hero, Roadblock!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRoadblock, what do you mean?!\u201d cried Optimus in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you know how my husband died?!\u201d accused Roadblock. \u201cMy brother too?! Hoist and Grapple were the only lights in my dark world and Zeta Prime let them die when their shuttle drifted to a star that went supernova! Sentinel Prime then covered up the truth! There was only one choice I had left; to join the Decepticon Empire and cast off my old Cybertronian shell!\u201d Optimus was stunned at what Roadblock said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou don\u2019t know what you\u2019re saying! The Decepticons and their allies have started a second war between them and us! But we CAN overcome their rampant misuse of darkness and bring us all together under the Matrix\u2019s wisdom!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t you get it, boy?! The MATRIX is the destructive force!\u201d Roadblock then slowly shifted into\u2026Inferno! \u201cThe Decepticons are right! As long as leaders are elected by some outdated mystic bauble, the wars will only continue!\u201d The vision faded abruptly and left the heroes stunned. The Maximals then heard something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Call,\u201d observed Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPerhaps we should pick up the remainder of our forces on our journey to the Pangea<\/em>,\u201d suggested Tigatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaximals, let\u2019s find our friends and make our way to Hydran,\u201d called Kong. They left the room in a somber mood. Optimus, Grimlock, and Llyra sat alone, contemplating the recent vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Optimus was now in Maximal City with Grimlock and Llyra. \u201cSo, let me make sure I understand this,\u201d he remarked, \u201cyou guys tied your defense A.I. to the most powerful super-computer in Transformer history and keyed it so that only your leaders could access it, is that correct?\u201d \u201c\u2026I mean, it sound stupid when you […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98,678],"tags":[146,337],"class_list":["post-4839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transformers-mobian-chronicles","category-transformers-mobian-chronicles-arc-19-beast-wars","tag-sonic","tag-transformers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4839"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4840,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4839\/revisions\/4840"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
