'''Scraplets galore!'''

==Megatron's Law==
* '''Script:''' [[Robin Etherington]]
* '''Art:''' [[Dario Brizuela]]
* '''Lettering:''' [[Comicraft]]
* '''Continuity:''' ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]''
The ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'' hovers over the [[Erta Ale volcano]] in the [[Danakil Desert]]. On board, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s temper is as fiery as the volcano. Furious at the fact that they keep being bested by the [[Autobot]]s, Megatron has decided to create the ultimate army by weeding out the weak elements in their forces. [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] is shocked as Megatron leads him into a cavern, where a large number of cages have been set up. In each, a pair of [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] is battling to the death. Megatron declares the place a gladiatorial hall. Starscream scoffs at the idea that Decepticon will kill Decepticon, but he is quickly shackled and thrown into a cage where he faces [[Fearstorm]].

Starscream protests that the Decepticons can't be made to fight each other, but Megatron informs him that the shackle on his wrist is designed to explode ten minutes after the start of the fight if he hasn't unlocked it using his opponent's [[spark]]. As Fearstorm attacks, Starscream manages to evade the larger Decepticon, and observes that the volcano's magnetic pull is preventing him from [[transformation|transforming]]. Dismissing Megatron's assertion that this is a battle of brawn, Starscream uses Fearstorm to get to the top of a nearby cage, and breaks off one of the barbed bars. After Fearstorm's next swipe, Starscream uses the barb to impale Fearstorm's arms to the ground. Once he's relieved himself of the shackle, Megatron welcomes Starscream back to the bridge, and gives him his first job, to reinforce the holding cell bars.

===Quotes===
"Every mission against Prime and his infernal do-gooders has failed! Why? Because, quite frankly, they're '''better''' than us!"
:—'''Megatron''' makes a startlingly humble admission.

"Soooo... Megatron has finally become tired of his poodle! Ha!"
:—'''Fearstorm'''

"I am '''forced''' to admit that was '''not''' a '''bad effort''', Starscream."
:—'''Megatron''' is so generous!

===Notes===
====Errors====
*Though Starscream says the volcano's magnetic field prevents him transforming, it's unclear why no one can use their weapons. (Though Operation Bumblebee Part 1 may have the answer, considering both transformation and weapons are tied to the T-Cog portion of cybertronian biology.)

====Trivia====
*Fearstorm promises to send Starscream to the [[Well of All Sparks]].
