02x10 - All Things Must Pass

[bunniefuu]

Somebody explain
what just happened.

The Matrix of Leadership.

It's power can only be
accessed by the chosen.

Which is what
we were counting on.

We?

It is not over!
Stand your ground, allies!

Starscream.

Lords of Tarn, can't you
ever just stay dead?

Dead?

That's funny.
Actually, I feel reborn.

There are so few
of us Titans remaining.

And now there is one less.

You are not to blame,
Fortress Maximus.

Greater forces are at play here.

And we are all pawns
to their machinations.

It... can't be!

Lost children of my
children's children.

Bickering, whining, endlessly
skirmishing metal playthings.

Behold, for the
fire has arrived.

You have enjoyed a millenia of recess
in the absence of your pedagogues.

You have splayed your borrowed
sparks across the blackness of space...

and now, your curfew is nigh.

Megatron, it is as I told you!
We must stop him!

Wait!

God walks among
you now. I am--

Megatronus! So the
legends are true.

You are the Fallen.
The Flame.

The one who stood apart
from the original .

The first Decepticon!

We have watched you.
I have watched you...

Megatron.

Then you know I have
followed in your stead.

From my earliest days
of gladiatorial combat,

I carried a likeness to
your name as a symbol.

A symbol of the empire
you sought to build.

I bore the weight of
the mission that you began.

I ruled planets, commanded armies,
fought so many wars in your name.

You are acknowledged.
Now make your point.

We lost, g*dd*mn you!

I've been banished,
stripped of my title...

and abandoned by my troops!

You claim to be our god, but
what have you done for us?

More importantly, what are
you going to do for me?!

Fortress Maximus, now!

Optimus, no!

Finished, are we?

Good.

Because I have not come
here to play with you.

I come for these divine design.

Enjoy your final days, Transformers.

Because in the end, no
sentient being lasts forever.

Well, almost no
sentient being.

I... can't believe it.

He will be remembered.

He will be avenged!

Megatron, what was
that all about?

You want to bring
back the Decepticons?

State your intent, villain!

Don't you have anything
to say for yourself, Megatron?

Will you all please just
shut up? I'm trying to think.

Of what?
Ways to destroy us?

I knew there could be nothing
good in you! I will rip you limb--

I'm not trying to start
the Decepticons again.

But we all saw you. You begged
Megatronus to put you back in charge.

I was stalling for time, you idiot!

How do you think Optimus and
Fortress Maximus had time to att*ck?

And now, Optimus Prime is dead.

Well, that's not my fault.

Can we just k*ll him already?!

I can't believe I'm saying
this, but I'm with Menasor.

Ok, to be honest, I
was hedging my bets.

I thought the fight
could go either way.

But it seems Megatronus is
far more powerful than all of us.

And seeing as he
wants us all dead...

I suppose we're all on
the same team now.

You're joking.

Don't worry. I know where
Megatronus is going.

We will not listen to any
more of your lies, deceiver!

Hold it just a minute! Tell us where
you think Megatronus is going.

The question isn't where, Perceptor.

The question is...
will you all follow me there.

Megatron...

Well, ain't that
downright interesting?

Wouldn't you say so?
