A green excavation vehicle with a claw on the right and a drill on the left was tunneling through a massive barricade. He was talking to someone in the shadows. \u201cIf you lads want to go to the central layer, you just leave it to me. With me around and with a definite end goal in mind, that wall will fall in no time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d wailed a voice over his radio. \u201cMole Dive, you have to stop this! You\u2019re betraying your own people! Your own culture! If you won\u2019t stop, then we have no choice but to stop you ourselves! It won\u2019t be pretty, so STAND DOWN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKeep the old mech off my back!\u201d the excavator, Mole Dive, called to his benefactor from the shadows. \u201cI didn\u2019t drill deep enough for the explosives!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe got this!\u201d replied his benefactor. Six yellow-green construction vehicles then rolled out of the shadows, they were a front-end loader, a bulldozer, a backhoe, a cement mixer, a mobile crane, and a dump truck. \u201cLet\u2019s get these Auto-pests out of the way for our Gigantion cousins!\u201d called the front-end loader. \u201cConstructions, robot modes! Scrapper, TRANSFORM!\u201d The sides of the loader split away and deployed hands, pushing the vehicle up as the loader-bucket swung up to cover the cab while a head with a red optics visor popped out. The rear unfolded and split into legs and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMixmaster, TRANSFORM!\u201d The transformation was similar to Scrappers, just that the front end served as a hood for the robot\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLong Haul, TRANSFORM!\u201d The cab and front wheels folded down and released a domed head as the wheels became shoulders for the new arms while the dumping bed became the robot\u2019s backside as the bed\u2019s rear assembly unfolded into legs, making a rather stocky bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHook, TRANSFORM!\u201d The crane\u2019s transformation was like High Tower\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScavenger, TRANSFORM!\u201d The bucket arm folded towards the main vehicle and the sides of the backhoe swung down to become arms. The caterpillar wheels then elongated and became legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBonecrusher, TRANSFORM!\u201d The sides of the top split away from the cab, allowing the front blade to move towards the cab as the caterpillar wheels became legs like Scavenger\u2019s. The cab roof then folded to the back of the robot and released the head. All the Constructicons\u2019 heights were roughly in between the average Cybertronian\u2019s and the average Gigantian\u2019s. That was when Metroplex, Optimus and his team, Sonic, Amy, Shadow, Maria, an orange cement mixer, High Tower, an orange bulldozer, a yellow dump truck, and a grass green backhoe rolled up to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHigh Tower, ASCEND!\u201d High Tower transformed to robot mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScoop, ASCEND!\u201d The green backhoe\u2019s sides split away from the shovel arm and formed pincer claws while the treads turned into legs like Scavenger\u2019s and Bonecrusher\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHeavy Load, ASCEND!\u201d The yellow dump truck\u2019s transformation was similar to Long Haul\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWedge, ASCEND!\u201d The plow of the orange bulldozer split in half and swung to the rear of the caterpillar wheels as the wheels formed arms. The under carriage folded towards the front and became legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQuickmix, ASCEND!\u201d The orange cement mixer\u2019s front cab and wheels split in half and became legs and feet. The rear wheels then folded to the underside as the mixing drum assembly swung around and unfolded so the mixing drum was the right arm with the larger part pointing down the arm and the rear of the assembly sprouted a hand while the head popped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOptimus Prime, TRANSFORM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWindblade, TRANSFORM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMetroplex, ASCEND!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverride, BOOST!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHot Rod, BOOST!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKong Primal, MAXIMIZE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRhinox, MAXIMIZE!\u201d Everyone transformed to bot mode by then and charged at the Constructicons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought you lot died during the Great War!\u201d grunted Optimus as he grappled with Scrapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDied?!\u201d laughed Scrapper. \u201cNo, merely imprisoned here! You Autobots were too soft to kill us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLads, clear a path for me!\u201d Quickmix called to his allies as he slammed his mixing drum arm into Bonecrusher. \u201cI need to talk to Mole Dive! Get him to stop!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAutobots, clear a path for Quickmix!\u201d called Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMixmaster, is this deep enough?!\u201d called Mole Dive as he reversed to reveal the hole he made. Mixmaster then inspected the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerfect!\u201d he cheered. His hood then extended two barrels and fired a teal foam into the hole. \u201cAll that\u2019s left is one little stray shot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMOLE DIVE, ENOUGH!\u201d called Quickmix as he grabbed Mole Dive\u2019s rear and tried to pull him away. \u201cYOU HAVE TO STOP! PLEASE, SON! LISTEN TO ME!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFORGET IT!\u201d shouted Mole Dive as he reversed quickly and knocked Quickmix down. \u201cMole Dive, SCALE!\u201d Mole Dive\u2019s drill and claw assemblies pushed him up as the plow on his front split in half to reveal the head while the rear unfolded and rotated into a pair of legs. Mole Dive then swung his drill arm and knocked Quickmix down. \u201cDon\u2019t you remember that I gained emancipation from you?!\u201d snarled Mole Dive. \u201cAfter you left Mother to die at the hands of the Functionist Council?! Now there\u2019s a chance to avenge her! So just step back, Old Mech! And you, Metroplex, I\u2019m sick of all your daft rules that don\u2019t even make any sense! The time for those rules is long gone! They\u2019re old and outdated, just like you! We\u2019re about to enter a new age and I\u2019m gonna be the one who\u2019s gonna lead this planet into it as the new Megalo Convoy, bringing it under Olympicon rule! We\u2019ll make sure you Titanotrons fade from existence! So why don\u2019t I just take care of you right NOW?!\u201d He activated his drill and jabbed it towards Metroplex. Quickmix then blocked it with his drum arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI WARNED YOU, JUNIOR!\u201d he snarled. He then swung his arm and shoved Mole Dive\u2019s drill to the side. He then flicked a Cyber Key into the air. \u201cI\u2019M GONNA SHUT YOU DOWN RIGHT NOW! CYBER KEY POWER!\u201d The mixing drum split in half to reveal a concealed cannon which charged up with energy and fired a massive shot into Mole Dive\u2019s chest. The fighting stopped as the Constructicons rushed to help Mole Dive up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat in the world has gotten into you, Mole Dive?!\u201d demanded Metroplex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou better have a good excuse for breaking the law!\u201d snapped Quickmix. \u201cAttempting to break down a barrier, freeing known criminals, there\u2019s naught to be gained from acting like this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cActually, there\u2019s a lot to be gained!\u201d rasped a familiar voice. Megatron, Saurion, Dirt Boss, Shockwave, Waspinator, Ransack, and Crumplezone sped up to them in vehicle mode with Eggman and Morgaine following them. \u201cYou see, I intend to give him and his followers a reward he could only dream of; revenge against the Functionist Council! Megatron, TRANSFORM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShockwave, TRANSFORM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSaurion, TERRORIZE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWazzzpinator, TERRORIZZZE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDirt Boss, HIGHTAIL!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRansack, HIGHTAIL!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCrumplezone, HIGHTAIL!\u201d The bots on Megatron\u2019s side then transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMegatron?!\u201d gasped Optimus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
