Two Warriors Come Out of the Sky

Synopsis

In orbit above Caminus, the space bridge disgorges the Combiners Computron and Menasor, already gripped in battle. The two trade blows as they fall towards the planet's surface, and the Decepticon takes the upper hand, tearing off Nosecone and Afterbreaker as they approach the spires below. Crashing to the ground, Computron insists on the illogicality of their fight, but is silenced by a foot to the face from a triumphant Menasor.

The Decepticon combiner quickly comes under fire, however, from a pair of Camiens—former cityspeaker Windblade and her companion Maxima. Menasor gives chase, but comes to a halt after Windblade cuts off his left leg, Brake-Neck. The Combiner retaliates with a blow that knocks Maxima's arm clean off, and grabs hold of Windblade. In a self-sacrificial play, Maxima burns her jets in Menasor's face, freeing Windblade but earning herself a fatal blow from the Combiner in the process.

In a rage, Windblade cleaves Dead End from Menasor's shoulder and then slices the entire combiner in half at the waist. With his dying words, the Decepticon combiner insists that Windblade is not fighting for her planet or friends, but is just a "killer" like him, and warns that the council on Cybertron has plans to use the Enigma of Combination to raise an army of Combiners. With Menasor dead, Windblade sheds tears for Maxima, before taking her fallen comrade's blaster and heading through the space bridge to Cybertron, not noticing that Computron clings to life.

On Cybertron, Optimus Prime awaits...

Quotes

"It is illogical for Menasor and Computron to fight. Conclusion: Combiners should cease fighting and-" [Menasor punches Computron through a building] "...Probability of my survival is-"

[Menasor stomps on Computron's head] "ZERO!"

Computron pleading with Menasor, who isn't too interested.


"What a nerd."

Menasor is unimpressed with Computron.


"You said 'For Caminus and Maxima', we both know that's not true. Hah... hah... you're just a killer, like me."

Menasor doing his best Liquid Snake impression.

Notes

  • Unsurprisingly, Menasor appears in his Combiner Wars toy design, featuring Wildrider/Brake-Neck rather than Offroad for his left leg.
  • Computron, meanwhile, has the torso of his Generation 1 toy with the head and limbs of his Combiner Wars figure, the result of design revisions mid-way through production.[1]
  • Windblade's face mask appears to sort of... fall off in sections, rather than retracting in any kind of sensible manner.
  • Maxima's facial markings imply that she is a cityspeaker like Windblade.
