Trypticon's Revenge

Cybertron, the Exodus.

With a swift movement with his arm, he skewers the last resisting Autobot trooper directly into the spark chamber, extinguishing his spark before his husk slide off his arm blade.

With a satisfied grin, revealing his shark-like teeth, the silver Goliath turns to his communications chief at a control panel, his tentacles latched onto it, before he approached him, making heavy clangs with every step he took.

"Soundwave, report." he ordered the silent mech, looking up at the still, giant and monstrous beast before him.

Soundwave turns to the silver mech, his visor displaying the condition of the robotic kaiju; it showed that the beast remained in a deep stasis, its energy levels at 63% and its catalytic overdrive generator was severely damaged.

The silver mech saw Soundwave's visor flashing with numbers, estimating how long it would take to repair the creature.

"Do not bother with the estimating, Soundwave; there will be no repairs for I have something else in mind." the mech informed before he turns to the presumably lifeless monster.

"Trypticon, this is Megatron and if you can hear me, understand that this is NOT a rescue mission. Despite your great power, you have failed to destroy the Autobots, you have failed to destroy Optimus Prime once and for all and most of all, you have failed me, your master." Megatron told the giant, slumbering mech before him with a snarl.

"Henceforth, your body will be altered and redesigned to MY specifications for MY conquest throughout the universe."

Soundwave then displayed the consequences of transforming Trypticon into his alternate form, the Decepticon warlord turning his helm to the slender mech and read what the screen displayed.

"You are saying that due to his damaged state, Trypticon will remain in his alternate form for all eternity?" Megatron questioned, Soundwave nodding his helm in response. A cruel smile grew on the warlord's face with glee, followed by a sinister laugh.

"Good. If anything, that's all the better. Soundwave, initiate the Nemesis Protocol."

Soundwave nodded and began working on the control panel, rerouting Trypticon's systems from it before he activated the monster's T-cog, initiating the Nemesis Protocol. After that, Trypticon's body began to shift and change, transforming into whatever the Nemesis Protocol is.

Megatron could only watch with his clawed servos behind his back, slowly falling into hysterics as he watched Trypticon transform into the alternate form that will become the Titan's eternal prison as punishment for failing to destroy the Autobots.

He will become the flagship of the Decepticon Empire.

What the warlord did not realise, however, is that the Titan heard EVERYTHING.

And he felt betrayal... And rage.

Cybertron, 10 years after the events of Predacons Rising.

Ultra Magnus looked over the construction of the Axalon, seeing it was going swimmingly. The Autobots constructing it only needed to install an impressively large engine.

The Autobot commander turns his helm to an approaching Autobot engineer.

"Commander Magnus, we are ready to install the engine into the Axalon." the engineer informed, receiving a nod from Magnus.

"Good, inform the rest of the engineers to initiate the installation process."

The Autobot nodded in acknowledgement before he contacted his fellow engineers, informing them of Magnus' approval. The engineers began to operate the machines, moving the engine towards the yet to be completed Axalon.
