Fiction

[edit]

War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon

[edit]

During the final days of the Great War, a unit of Mercenaries led by the faulty clone Soundblaster traded energon among the neutral population, with Bumblebee being a frequent visitor. Needing raw Energon to launch the Ark, Bumblebee led Arcee and Cog to Soundblaster's base, only to be cornered as they located their target. Siege episode 5

Before Soundblaster and his Dome Guards could execute them, Shockwave's anti-Alpha Trion Protocol virus wreaked havoc on the base's systems, giving the Autobots a chance to escape. After the Ark had left Cybertron, Teletraan I detected the Fool's Fortune, a ship operated by a unit of Mercenaries led by Doubledealer. Siege episode 6 Earthrise episode 1

While taking control of the Ark, Doubledealer and his subordinates got the Autobots to stand down when Bumblebee—who had now joined the Autobots—attacked Bug Bite. Thrust and Dirge piloted the Fool's Fortune to Chaar, where they rendezvous with Doubledealer and their teammates aboard the Ark. Their payment for the mission was denied when their client, a Quintesson Judge known as Deseeus, suddenly mutilated most of its faces and turned on Doubledealer. Hoping for a chance at revenge, Doubledealer's unit helped the Autobots escape and battled the Quintesson's forces. They were then tasked by Megatron to follow the Ark. Earthrise episode 2

Catching up with the Fool's Fortune, Deseeus took control of Doubledealer's mind in hopes of wiping out Autobot and Decepticon alike. Though Ramjet, Dirge, and Thrust were able to escape the Quintesson, Bug Bite and Exhaust willingly (and begrudgingly) sided with their client-turned-boss. Having been knocked out of the Ark when the ship took damage, Cog took the opportunity to offline Bug Bite and Exhaust before battling Deseeus. The Quintesson was able to mortally wound Cog thanks to an opportunity caused by the Fool's Fortune taking damage from the Nemesis. Once Deseeus fled the Fool's Fortune, the ship exploded, killing both Doubledealer and Cog, while the debris knocked the Ark and the Nemesis towards Earth. Earthrise episode 6
