Skyfall asks what that means, and Trion responds it won't matter to him... as he runs Skyfall's [[spark]] through with his [[Slaughter|sword]], since Skyfall's conscience would just get in Alpha Trion's way. He then has Nightscream carry Skyfall's lifeless body as they step through the gate...

A betrayal occurs as Alpha Trion and his followers begin their travels to another dimension.

Synopsis

[edit]

Shockwave begs for help as Immorticon tears him limb from limb. Alpha Trion stands gloating with his sword over Megatron, but the TransTech blasts the old Autobot, tearing off portions of his arm and half of his face. Megatron declares he is power, and as Immorticon rushes forth to defend his leader, the Decepticon unleashes his power on the faux-TransTech, killing him. Alpha Trion, however, takes this chance to escape.

Alpha Trion regroups with Skyfall, Landquake, and Breakaway. As Landquake helps Breakaway to the transit room, Alpha Trion reveals to Skyfall that he knows more about him than he has said. The old bot claims that before he left his dimension, Vector Sigma told him that Primus was calling his first sons home. Before he can further explain, Optimus Prime, Cheetor, Starscream, and Silverbolt fire warning shots and tell the offworlders to stand down, Prime not wanting to hurt any of them. Skyfall uses his shield to cover them as they run to the transit room.

Inside the room, Trion orders Nightscream to get everyone through the portal as he and Skyfall cover them. Alpha Trion continues their conversation, explaining that Skyfall and his friends are a part of a bigger whole, and that Skyfall is the team's conscious, and might control the team's actions when "reunification" comes. Skyfall, concentrating on the door, asks what reunification is, but Alpha Trion tells him it won't matter...as his sword stabs straight through Skyfall's chest, killing him. Alpha Trion's eyes turn red, telling the dying Skyfall that while his friends could be used, Skyfall would have disrupted his plans. Nightscream is ordered to carry the body, and the two head off to conquer Trion's world...

Quotes

[edit]

"If only every one of you TransTech knelt so helplessly before me."
"Helpless? I am never helpless! Helplessness is the province of the powerless. I AM POWER. I. AM. MEGATRON!

Alpha Trion learns the hard way not to needle Megatron.


"I know more about you than you think, Skyfall."
"Well, awesome. You can tell me all about it when we get to a dimension where no one is trying to melt us."

Alpha Trion and Skyfall have a difference in priorities.
