'''Skyfall and Landquake arrive in a new universe and face a frightening new enemy.'''


==Synopsis==
Awakening on a [[Earth|strange organic planet]], [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] find themselves staring down the [[fusion cannon]] of [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], delighted to have a gift delivered to him from nowhere. Before he can actually take the shot, however, the group known as [[Armored Robot Hunters|RUNT]] blast Megatron's backside, angering the Decepticon leader. While Megatron is distracted with vaporizing the humans, Skyfall rouses Landquake to his senses; the Decepticon, however, does not seem to recognize this being as [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and questions where they are. Skyfall ignores this, and pleads with him to help save the humans.
Meanwhile, Megatron, having torn apart most of the machines, begins firing on the fleeing humans. Skyfall interrupts his attack, telling the humans to escape while he holds Megatron off, and as the RUNTS radio in for back up, Megatron fires his fusion cannon, which is somehow able to pierce Skyfall's forcefield. Skidding back to Landquake, the damaged Skyfall pleads with him to help, but just as Megatron is about to disintegrate the Velocitronian, Megatron is blasted in the head. Megatron scowls as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus]] orders [[Mirage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Mirage]] to help with the humans, while Prime and the rest deal with Megatron...

Immediately upon arriving in a [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|new universe]], Skyfall and Landquake are threatened by the powerful Megatron, who delights in their sudden appearance before him; he has been given the gift of being able to kill them.  Before Megatron can kill them, however, he is distracted by a team of [[Human|humans]] in RUNTs ([[Armored Robot Hunters|Armored '''R'''obot H'''unt'''ers]]).

* After Megatron introduces himself, Skyfall assumes this is the [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron from his own universe]], since he has probably only heard of him.  Landquake, having served under that other Megatron for years, is merely confused, wondering where he is.  Neither seem to know (yet) that they dimension-hopped.
*Megatron's gold parts are colored as orange.
* Megatron's orange is colored as gold instead.  That sucks.
* The RUNTs may have something to do with [[RAAT]], the military task force dedicated to destroying the Transformers, but probably not.  The R.A.A.T. program was ended, and it's possible this group is working with the Autobots.
* Skyfall's forcefield power fails him for the first time due to a direct shot from Megatron's cannon.  As Skyfall says, "that guy hits amazingly hard."
* And finally, of course, Prime and his Autobots are in their ''Transformers [[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' bodies.

Synopsis

[edit]

Awakening on a strange organic planet, Skyfall and Landquake find themselves staring down the fusion cannon of Megatron, delighted to have a gift delivered to him from nowhere. Before he can actually take the shot, however, the group known as RUNT blast Megatron's backside, angering the Decepticon leader. While Megatron is distracted with vaporizing the humans, Skyfall rouses Landquake to his senses; the Decepticon, however, does not seem to recognize this being as Megatron, and questions where they are. Skyfall ignores this, and pleads with him to help save the humans.

Meanwhile, Megatron, having torn apart most of the machines, begins firing on the fleeing humans. Skyfall interrupts his attack, telling the humans to escape while he holds Megatron off, and as the RUNTS radio in for back up, Megatron fires his fusion cannon, which is somehow able to pierce Skyfall's forcefield. Skidding back to Landquake, the damaged Skyfall pleads with him to help, but just as Megatron is about to disintegrate the Velocitronian, Megatron is blasted in the head. Megatron scowls as Optimus orders Mirage to help with the humans, while Prime and the rest deal with Megatron...
