Probably the most ambitious project from my history as a writer, Transformers: Re-Animated was a story idea that's been in my head since 2011 (that's a long time!) There's a lot to cover with the development of this story concept, maybe a little to...
The tenth and final arc of Re-animated would have the Stunticons finally bust Megatron out of Trypticon prison, followed by the Decepticon leader storming the Metroplex to have a word with Sentinel Magnus, the Stunticons holding Sentinel Magnus hostage with Megatron broadcasting his message to all of Cybertron about how all of Autobotkind will fall and Cybertron will belong to the Decepticons once more along with revealing to all of Cybertron that it was he who set up Optimus Prime and his crew, Sentinel exclaiming "you decieved me!" Megatron replies with "isn't that why we're called Decepticons?" revealing that he needed Sentinel to exile the ones who defeated him from Cybertron so that no one would interfere with his planned insurrection of Cybertron and the broadcast ends with Megatron killing Sentinel, smoke coming out of his mouth and optics like Prowl in the 1986 movie. meanwhile on Earth the Autobots and the Sumdac family all watch the broadcast on their TV screen, as the spacebridge on Sumdac Tower managed to pick up Cybertronian radio signals. things go from bad to worse when the Decepticons all break into Sumdac tower, hearing Megatron's call to arms and holding Isaac at gunpoint forcing him to activate the Spacebridge atop Sumdac Tower (of which the Autobots have been using to go back and forth from Cybertron to Earth) meanwhile Sari hears Leah crying from her room and walks into Laserbeak stealing Leah from her crib like a demonic stork, flying out of the window carrying the crying techno-organic infant, Sari giving chase with her scooter-jetpack, Sari's maternal instincts kicking into high gear as she exclaims "give me back my baby you slaggin' metal turkey!" only for her to get shot out of the sky by the Starscream clones who damage one of her wings, however she is caught by Lance on his motorbike-jetpack like her knight in shining cybertronian armor. Shockwave, Strika, Lugnut, Blitzwing, Oil Slick, Cyclonus, Spittor, Blackout, Slipstream, Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Sunstorm, Crumplezone, Ransack, Thunderblast, Astrotrain, Soundwave, Swindle, Brawl, Vortex, Blast-off, Onslaught, Bludgeon, Flatline, Scalpel, Bombshell, Kickback, Shrapnel, Waspinator, Inferno, Tarantulas, and many, many, more bridge to Cybertron to reunite with their dearly-missed leader. turns out the Decepticons wanted to get their hands on Leah for a particular reason: the Allspark shard on her forehead, of which Flatline uses to power Megatron's new upgraded form: Marauder Megatron, this new form giving Megatron to triple-change into a Cybertronian jet and tank. but Flatline has managed to finally perfect the triple-changer technology with help from Leah's allspark shard, meaning Megatron won't go insane like what happened to Blitzwing and Astrotrain.

Upon gaining his new body, Megatron gets up on a pedestal to give a hate-filled speech to the crowd of Autobot citizens:
"My Cybertronian brothers and sisters, your Magnus is dead! I am now Cybertron's rightful ruler and you will all submit to me, or die in defiance. Decepticons, transform and rise up!"
However, all the citizens start booing Megatron, you can even hear some among the crowd chanting "we want Optimus!" angering Megatron to the point where it scares his subordinates.
