Synopsis
Intergalactic diplomat Fflaxl is sent by the Universal Peacekeeping Committee is sent to Cybertron, upon hearing about its civil war. Fflaxl had received only the most preliminary briefings about his mission, as he claimed to know little of the difference between Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons, but nonetheless he was supremely confident in his abilities to make them all see things his way.
He brought along his huge bodyguard, Bix, and landed on Cybertron. He was caught unaware as Optimus Prime flew through the air and landed on Bix, easily smashing him into the ground. Megatron soon arrived and battled with Prime before powerlinxing with Leader-1 to tip the odds in his favor. Megatron and Prime then leapt away to continue the battle elsewhere.
Fflaxl's confidence dissipated and he returned to his ship and fled the planet, telling himself that things should work out here without his interference.

Ends up being some small misunderstanding. I'm sure once we all sit down and talk things through calmly everyone will shake hands and—EEEEP!!"
