Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

Centuries after the golden age of the Autobots and Decepticons had passed, the Builder Assembly was at the head of Cybertronian society.

When Eject told Lio Convoy that "the powers that be" had ordered another Cull, Lio Convoy figured that Eject was referring to the Builder Assembly.

When Polar Claw and Snarl arrested Noctorro for looking in his reflection for more than 90 nano-kliks, Noctorro protested that the Assembly had to have better things to do than come up with laws like that.

After Blackarachnia triggered Lio Convoy to see the injustice of the status quo, he returned to his post, claiming to be ready to continue his duty to the Builders. However, Lio Convoy used his security clearance to get inside the Dodecahex arena, assassinate Supersonic, and publicly broadcast the truth about the rigging of the Games. Lio Convoy then called for a rebellion against the Builders, initiating a new civil war.

The Assembly sentenced Eject to death for allowing Lio Convoy to start war on Eject's watch. However, Eject successfully appealed his sentence by forwarding his solution: clone Lio Convoy's energon matrix-infused CNA to create a powerful anti-rebellion army. The Assembly approved, with Ratbat telling Eject that "the ball is in your court." Broken Windshields
