Megatron reveals his ultimate plan to take on the Alternity!
Synopsis
Now joined by countless other iterations of himself, Optimus Prime fights to protect the Earth from the Beast of Time, Hytherion. Neither he nor his other selves was aware of the lurking form of Megatron's battleship waiting nearby in transwarp space. Watching the Alternity battle the creature, the Decepticon warlord reflected on the course of events that had brought him to this point.
A native of the same universe that birthed the Alternity, Megatron had fallen into stasis lock during the conflicts which led to the Timaeus Project. As a result, he was in a disabled state during the discovery of Alternium, and when he was eventually revived the Decepticons were far behind the technological curve, dwarfed by the hyper-dimensional beings many of the Autobots had now become. Galled by the prospect of domination by the Autobots, Megatron retreated and set out on a journey which spanned several universes, researching the Alternity and meeting with alternate versions of himself which shared his ambitions. Eventually he learned of Hytherion, and his plan took shape.
The plan now coming to fruition, Megatron activates the chaotizer device within his battleship, which overwrites the higher functions of Hytherion with his on, enslaving the beast. To the forces of the Alternity planetside, it at first appeared that the Origin Eater had been killed, but soon two cars nearby lurched to life and transformed to robotic forms. Megatron revealed that luring Hytherion to Earth had all been a ruse to gain power equal to that of his hated enemies. He issued his challenge to the Alternity, stating that he would see the galaxy burn, in infinite variation, forever...
