Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon continuity
When Decepticons kidnap a human scientist who developed a top secret new weapon, the scientist's son, Shunichi, volunteers for the dangerous mission of rescuing him, as the Autobots discover that the amusement park they've tracked the Decepticons to is too small for them. While Optimus consents to allow the boy to go into danger, he also sends Ultra Magnus's son, Ultra Magnus Jr., to keep Shunichi safe.
Inside the amusement park, Shunichi and Ultra Magnus Jr. are overcome by a strange power which merges them together, leaving both of their minds inhabiting Ultra Magnus Jr.'s body, simultaneously. An ominous voice welcomes them to the Decepticon Secret Base, and warns of the many dangers awaiting them. Undeterred, they continue forward, into the Decepticon World of Nightmares.
Through a portal, they're taken to an endless desert, and ambushed by Decepticon forces. After Ultra Magnus Jr. and Shunichi defeat the Decepticons, Starscream begs for mercy, promising to show them the way out if they spare his life. He reveals that Bumblebee is the key to warp out of Stage 1, but once they're distracted, Starscream attempts to betray them. Grabbing Bumblebee, Ultra Magnus Jr. executes Starscream for his treachery, and they fly through the warp zone.
Facing many dangers, Ultra Magnus Jr. and Shunichi continue to Stage 9, the Decepticon Machine City. Making their way through the old labyrinth, Ultra Magus Jr. is damaged and dangerously low on energy when they are confronted by Megatron himself. Megatron claims it would be beneath him to just kill Ultra Magnus Jr. without giving him a fighting chance, so he offers a duel where they will each take ten paces, turn, and fire. However, Megatron is only toying with them, and has no intention of honoring the duel. Once Ultra Magnus Jr.'s back is turned, Megatron fires on them. Luckily, Ultra Magnus Jr. is so low on power that he stumbles, causing Megatron's shot to miss him. Ultra Magnus Jr. fires back, blasting Megatron through the chest, and killing the Emperor of Destruction.
Taking matters into his own hands, the ominous voice decides to bring Ultra Magnus Jr. and Shunichi to the Decepticons' Jupiter Base, where he will kill them himself. From outside, Optimus Prime sees the House of Mysteries building rise high into the air, attached to an enormous rocket, which launches into outer space. There, the ominous voice reveals himself to be Trypticon, who bests Ultra Magnus Jr. easily, taunting and stomping on him. Ultra Magnus Jr. refuses to give up, finding the inner strength and determination to toss Trypticon off him. Then Ultra Magnus Jr. flies into Trypticon's open mouth, and blows him up from the inside.
Separated back into their own bodies somehow, and with Shunichi's father safely recovered, Ultra Magnus Jr. and Shunichi fly home. They vow to always help the people of Earth fight the Decepticons.Transformers: Mystery of Convoy
Notes
- Ultra Magnus Jr. and Shunichi kill most of the Decepticon army, and win the Cybertronian civil war in an afternoon. That probably means this story is set outside of standard continuity.
