Synopsis

Megatron has returned to base with Landquake in tow. Tied up and stripped of his weapons, he tells Megatron of his arrival here from an alternative dimension. Starscream believes he is lying, but Megatron orders him to be silent, lest he has his speech centers removes. Scrapper confirms that what he is saying is possible, with Unicron's presence having been recorded to make dimensional anomalies, and scans of Landquake show that his systems are like nothing ever seen before by the Constructicon. Soundwave, meanwhile, has confirmed via telepathic scans that Landquake at least believes he is telling the truth, and believes his abilities to shape energon could be of use. Megatron orders for the newcomer to be unbound, and knocks Starscream when the Seeker protests. Megatron orders Skywarp and Scavenger to keep watch on Landquake at all times. Scrapper, meanwhile, has discovered something else; an energy source detected earlier in South America emits an unusual radiation signature identical to the one in Landquake's systems, and appeared at roughly the same moment at Landquake's arrival. Scrapper requests permission to dissect the newcomer or possibly consult with Shockwave, but the mention of the latter's name angers Megatron, who threatens to place him next to the currently indisposed former Decepticon leader. Megatron orders Starscream to gather up his Seekers. Going to the newcomer, MEgatron tells him that he will show off his abilities, and will help them capture the Autobot he arrived with, to which Landquake, his fear of Megatron overriding his weariness, accepts. Megatron declares that this will be the key to final victory...

Soon, the Seekers and Astrotain have taken to the skies, the rest of the Decepticons on board the Triple-Changer. Landquake thinks to himself about Skyfall; for all his life, he's been searching for something, and Skyfall was the key to finding out just exactly what that was. Bound to arrive in fifteenth clicks, the RUNT's air back up begin to attack the approaching the Decepticon, and Megatron order them to engage. Soon, the skies are lit with explosions, as the RUNTs are shot down or collided into by Ramjet...

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Notes

  • This chapter is narrated by Landquake, who notes his uneasy alliance with the Decepticons. "I am no longer a Decepticon. Power is not my purpose, conquest is not my meaning. This war is not my war." Still, he gives in to Megatron's wishes to keep himself from being destroyed.
  • Megatron implies that he has incapacitated Shockwave in some humiliating way, but is keeping him alive.
  • Yes, Megatron uses the term "Seekers".
  • The RUNTs mention "General Barnett". This refers to Walter Barnett, former head of RAAT.
  • Everyone's in a Classics body! In fact, it's all the Classics Decepticons, if you presume that Soundwave (who has a rather generic design) is based on his Commemorative Edition reissue.
