(Millions Of Years Ago: Cybertron)

We cut to a room where we see Megatron watching a feed of Sixshot's rampage on an Autobot base

???: He's too powerful

Without looking the figure walks up to him and watches the feed as well

Megatron: Too powerful, Starscream? There's no such thing

Starscream: With respect, lord Megatron...My sole duty is to see to your safety. If Sixshot were to turn his considerable arsenal against you, I might not be able to protect you

Megatron: Starscream, Starscream. You are achingly naive. Firstly, your presence at my side is mainly for show. I can defend myself. And secondly, do you seriously think I set in motion a living weapon......If I did not have the off switch

(Present Day: Earth)

We cut inside the command center of the command bunker where we see the Decepticons looking at feed outside of the Reapers firing at the base as the bunker shakes

Megatron: Who are they?

Blitzwing: We don't know, Megatron

Megatron: What do they want?

Blitzwing: Er, ditto

Megatron: Tell me something Blitzwing, or so help me I'll eviscerate you as thoroughly as I did to Starscream

Blitzwing: "Gulp" Um okay

Blitzwing then looks at the Reapers

Blitzwing: Um. They're...Alien. A mishmash of species. And they're, er...Hostile

Megatron slowly turns his head facing Blitwing

Megatron: You don't say (Looks at Stormfighter) Stormfighter, you will first greet our invaders

Stormfighter: Yes, lord Megatron

Stormfighter leaves and Megatron gets up from his seat as he looks at the others

Megatron: Thundercracker, how long until Sixshot gets here?

Thundercracker: Any time now. He's inbound.

Megatron: Good. The rest of you. Get a booster shot of Ultra-Energon. Once Sixshot and Stormfighter have softened them up...We'll play

Runamuck: Done

Runabout: And dusted

The Decepticons begin to leave but Blitzwing gets grabbed by the shoulder and he turns around to see Megatron

Megatron: Blitzwing...Where's Astrotrain?

Blitzwing: (Nervous) I-Er, he's...Aligning the orbital defenses. He thought we might need the extra firepower

Megatron: Hm

Megatron lets go of Blitzwing and then sits back down on his seat

Megatron: It's some small comfort to know at least one of my flock isn't a complete waste of space. Have him report to me when he's done

Blitzwing: Yes, Megatron. I'm sure...He's only too aware

Meanwhile, in the other room. We see Astrotrain talking to a recently revived Starscream
