01x02 - The Council

[bunniefuu]

Starscream, what'd it
look like out there?

Things are getting
worse, Rodimus.

Word has gotten out about
Menasor and Computron's...

battle on Caminus.

The citizens are scared.

It is only a matter of time
before this gets out of control.

Hmm... Peace between Autobots
and Decepticons is already fragile.

The Combiners could ruin
everything unless we stay calm.

Calm? This is a time
for action, Starscream.

Not all of them are a thr*at.

Some, like Computron, have
been loyal to the Council.

And now he's a pile
of scrap on Caminus.

Then what do you
suggest we do?

We could try to
control them all.

Are you suggesting we use
the Enigma of Combination...

to actually create
more Combiners?

With an army like that, I could
turn this thr*at into an asset.

Rodimus, we don't even truly
know how the Enigma works.

Which is why I'm having
the bodies of the Combiners...

brought back for examination.

I may not be Optimus
Prime, but I can try.

We are here to maintain peace,
not reignite the w*r that...

Optimus and Megatron started
billions of years ago.

Well, if we cannot
stop the Combiners...

we might as well join Optimus
and Megatron in exile.

Combiners don't even know
we have the Enigma.

If word were ever to leak, they
would stop at nothing to possess it.

Then we should use it
to wipe out every...

existing combiner
in one fell swoop!

The Combiners are still
Autobots and Decepticons.

We can't just m*rder our
own people. That's genocide!

You are the last person who
should ever be commenting...

on murdering other Transformers.

Those were different
times, Mistress.

Until we understand this better,
I say we can't risk using it.

Perhaps you are right. Let us
continue to study the artifact...

until we know for sure
what it is capable of doing.

In the meantime,
I can have Wheeljack--

Starscream!

An att*ck!
Sound the alarm!

Show yourself!
