Fiction
[edit]2021 Beast Wars comic
[edit]On a distant planet, in some faraway corner of space-time, Megasavage used his legions of Servicons to crush all resistance so that he could rule the planet unopposed—all of them, that is, except for a small band of Transformers who called themselves the "Defiance". Their guerilla campaign against the Servicons ended with Megasavage's forces driving the rebels deeper and deeper underground, until they eventually discovered a strange, disfiguring species of robotic micro-organisms. When Defiance member Nightshriek weaponized these "morphlings" in an attempt to take out the entire Servicon network, however, Megasavage revealed that he'd originally reformatted the morphlings into their current state, and easily slaved Nightshriek to his network by turning the morphlings back against their wielder.
But, of course, this was all just one of Cheetor's scary stories... or was it? The Morphlings
Notes
[edit]- Megasavage is, of course, based on Vehicon leader Megatron as he appeared in the first season of the original Beast Machines cartoon; notably, he incorporates several elements from Megatron's skeletal control harness.
