The Combaticons murder a puppy.
Synopsis
[edit]Out in the desert, the Combaticons are chasing after a runaway dog. Brawl successfully manages to gun it down, but before the Decepticons can reacquire their escaped prey, Powerglide swoops in to stop them.
At Decepticon Headquarters, Megatron explains to Starscream the importance of the puppy: they "reconstructed" the animal through their advanced science, hoping to create copies that could run amok in human civilization with the great power contained within them. However, their science could not squash the dog's inherent judgment of character and it escaped the Decepticons' clutches. Thus, it must be retrieved before it can be used against its former owners.
Back in the desert, Powerglide uses himself to shield the puppy from further gunfire. As Onslaught closes in, Powerglide transforms to plane mode and helps the puppy into his cockpit. The dog activates Powerglide's controls and the pair take off just as Kenji and a unit of Minibots arrive.
Inside Powerglide's cockpit, the dog interfaces with his computer and speaks with him. The dog explains how the Decepticons taught it how to interface with machines. The dog then begins to transfer its energy into Powerglide. Powerglide protests, saying that it will kill the dog. The dog says it understands the consequences and thanks Powerglide for all he's done.
With the super science now coursing through him, Powerglide announces that he's been briefly energized with Scramble Power and asks all the other Minibots to combine with him. As they do this, the Combaticons combine into Bruticus. The Minibot combiner then performs the "Minibot Warrior Spiral Attack" and defeats Bruticus, who quickly retreats.
Clutching the corpse of the dead dog in his arms, Powerglide vows into the sunset that he'll protect all life from the Decepticons no matter what.

Notes
[edit]- This issue takes place before "Scramble City: Mobilization".
- This is both the bleakest and the funniest Transformers story EVER.
- Decepticons hate puppies.
