HUGZ OF EVIL

Fiction

[edit]

The Battlestars

[edit]

Dark Nova, a strange nebulous being now commanding the Decepticons, somehow managed to get his tentacles on the corpse of Optimus Prime. Using his vast power, Dark Nova duplicated the body and programmed it to serve the Decepticons. The fake posed as the real Optimus Prime, back from the dead, and used the Autobots' love of their legendary Supreme Commander against them. He turned on the Autobots and engaged them in battle, taking Sixliner hostage. The fake Optimus Prime was eventually defeated by Sky Garry and Grandus. The Battlestars Part 3

Following that battle, the Autobots quickly rescued the body of the real Optimus Prime from planet Lucifer and revived him as Star Optimus Prime. The Battlestars Part 4
