As the Autobot shuttles and the Decepticon Warworld approached the Hub, the Liege Maximo smiled. He knew that this plan would work so well that he could finally be in good stature with the universe again. Years ago, when the Transformer race had started, he had been created solely as the by-product of Primus�s dream. While the first Transformers were made with morals and ideals, he had none. He survived only on the ideas of ruthlessness, cruelty and hatred. No mercy was ever shown with him. So it was surprising that he was to do battle with his forged �son� Megatron. He had created the Decepticon leader�s body eons ago to help spread his name. Unfortunately it was stolen by some freeloading Decepticons that wanted a new leader. Using Vector Sigma, Megatron was created, and still had some of the ideals that the Liege Maximo had. Yet he was doing it for his own good. He would never serve anyone, or anything. Jhiaxus served well, but would never be as powerful as Megatron could have been, under the Liege Maximo�s guidance of course. And that is why he would need to destroy the Decepticon leader and take his body to mold someone in his own image���
�Autobots! Keep moving forward!� Prime ordered. The planet they had just landed on exploded into sounds of firepower and screams. As soon as they left the ships, the second generation Decepticons had begun firing. The trap was set, and the Autobots fell right into it.
Warworld was suffering as well. Shields were down, and the giant battle station began to show signs of major damage. Rook had ordered a comprehensive assault of the Decepticon satellite using hit and run tactics. Megatron knew that if they did not abandon it, they would perish in its explosion.
�Decepticons!� Megatron cried over the intercom. �Evacuate Warworld! Join the ground defenses with the Autobots!�
With that, Warworld was completely abandoned. Moments later, it burst into flames and disappeared from the sky. Megatron and the other Decepticons fought their way to the ground, where they met the Autobots. Omega Supreme had even showed up to join the fray.
�Take this you pieces of Cybertronian trash!� Starscream screeched. His Seekers were joining him in his surprisingly brave efforts to fight the Cybertronian jets. He had just blown two planes to bits with his lasers. The fight was suddenly turning in their favor.
�What on Cybertron is that?� Bumblebee exclaimed. Off in the distance, something that appeared to be a dark forest began glowing. As soon as that had happened, more reinforcements for the Cybertronian Army arrived.
�Something over there is able to spawn new soldiers,� Optimus said. �We need to get there and stop it, or else we will never be able to win.�
�I�m going,� Megatron said. �Do you wish to join me Prime?�
�Yes,� Optimus said. �Grimlock, I�m leaving you in command. Megatron and I are going after whatever is over there.�
�Me Grimlock want to go too!� Grimlock said. He was in his Tyrannosaurus Rex mode, ripping and stomping the opposition apart.
�Grimlock, the forces here need you more,� Prime said. �Never give up!�
With that, the Autobot leader transformed and began driving straight through the Cybertronian army, knocking them everywhere. Just as they got their bearings, they caught only a glimpse of Megatron in his tank mode either running them over or blowing them away with his railgun cannon.
After fighting their way to the forest, Optimus Prime and Megatron transformed and looked around. The glowing had stopped, and everything was eerily silent. Prime instantly thought back to his Matrix-related vision he had on the trip over here, and realized what the warning meant. If only he knew what he was up against���
�WELCOME.�
The voice startled both Optimus and Megatron.
�I SUPPOSE YOU ARE HERE TO STOP ME? WELL GOOD LUCK, YOU WILL NEED IT.�
Just then, light came to the forest, and Optimus Prime looked at what he and his associate were up against. The being that had led the Cybertronians was a mammoth titan; a being that was larger than any Transformer. It was completely black, with a wretched face of yellow in the middle. Resembling a mountain, it was connected to cables all around, which had made the �forest.� Prime had never been so taken aback at a life form since Unicron�s attack on Cybertron.
�OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON,� it boomed. �I BELIEVE YOU KNOW WHO I AM.�
�The Liege Maximo���� Prime said softly. He realized that this is the creature that Jhiaxus referred to.
�YES, YOU ARE RIGHT, PRIME,� the Liege Maximo said. �I AM THE ORIGINAL CYBERTRONIAN. I CREATED ALL THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU, INCLUDING THE ENEMIES THAT YOU HAVE JOINTLY FACED. MEGATRON, I HAVE ALSO CREATED YOU. YOUR BODY WAS STOLEN BY DECEPTICONS IN ORDER TO COMBAT THE AUTOBOT FORCES ON CYBERTRON. THAT WAS WHEN I REALIZED I NEEDED A SECRETIVE PLACE TO DEVISE MY OPERATIONS OF COLONIZING THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MY DESIRES. IT IS HERE, THE HUB, THAT I HAVE CONDUCTED MY OPERATIONS. AND NOW I NEED A NEW LEADER FOR MY FORCES AND TO SERVE ME. ROOK IS WEAK, AND I NEED SOMEONE RUTHLESS AND UNMERCIFUL, AS WELL AS POWERFUL. MEGATRON, WILL YOU COMMAND MY FORCES?�
�Megatron, you can�t listen to him!� Prime begged. �He may have made your body, but he couldn�t possibly have created your mind! You belong to yourself, no one else!�
�QUIET YOU INSOLENT WEAKLING!� A shot of electricity bolted from the Liege Maximo�s eyes and struck Optimus Prime. The Autobot leader was sent sprawling to the ground, and was captured by the cables.
�Prime is MY enemy, Maximo!� Megatron cried. �If anyone is to destroy him, it will be me!�
�SERVE ME, AND YOU CAN DESTROY THE AUTOBOT,� the Liege Maximo replied.
�Megatron serves NO ONE!� Megatron fired his railgun into the Liege Maximo�s face. The titan writhed and screamed in pain. No one in the universe had harmed the being in any way, so this sensation was a new one.
�DIE INSECT!� Lightning flew, but Megatron evaded. He flew up to Prime, and freed him from the cables that had held him hostage.
�Wake up Prime!� Megatron slapped him in the face.
�Meh�Meg�..Megatron?� Prime awoke. �What happened?�
Megatron grinned. �You were foolish. DON�T let it happen again!�
With that, the two rivals charged their common foe. The Liege Maximo fired shot after shot of its lightning, but couldn�t hit the two warriors. For several hours the two fired their weapons at the being, wearing its resistance down, or so they thought.
�NOW IT IS TIME TO END YOUR MEASLY LIVES!� The Liege Maximo�s eyes turned a bright red. He then began to transform. Before their very eyes, Optimus Prime and Megatron witnessed this being change into a giant dragon. Snorting fire and waving a spiked tail, the beast was easily the size of two gestalts.
�This is hopeless, Prime,� Megatron said. �How can we defeat this creature?�
�I really don�t know, Megatron,� Prime said. �But we can�t give up!�
With that, Prime transformed and drove straight at the dragon, transforming and launching his body into the air. Pulling out his twin rifles, he fired shot after shot into the head of it. The dragon screeched, and breathed fire at Optimus, who just evaded it. Then the creature reeled back from other shots from down below. Megatron was in his tank mode, firing his cannon relentlessly at its body. Neither Transformer was showing any signs of backing down, even in response to the odds.
�Prime, watch out!� Megatron warned. He was too late. As the Autobot leader was charging forward, he was struck by the spiked tail and slammed into the corner. Megatron ran over to assess the injuries.
�Get up Prime!� Megatron said. �He�s turning to hit us with that breath of his.�
�No,� Prime said, clearly weakened by the previous blow. A plan had formed, though. �When he does face me, all I want you to do is to do your best to destroy him when he is distracted.�
�Very well,� Megatron said. �Good luck.�
The beast turned at that moment, and Megatron ran into a hiding place. As the dragon faced Optimus Prime, he breathed inward, and was ready to strike. Prime fired a shot at its face, just to infuriate it more.
�You are nothing Maximo!� Optimus yelled, with a mocking tone that was not familiar with the leader. Any strength he had left was used. �Primus never even intended to create you! You are just a worthless by-product! A giant piece of scrap!�
�NO!� it screeched angrily. �YOU ARE THE WORTHLESS ONE!�
Just as the creature was about to kill Optimus Prime, Megatron ran out from his corner and flew straight into the Liege Maximo. When he broke through its outer shell Megatron was able to call upon a berserker-style rage that he had never used before. Once broken inside the Liege Maximo�s dragon form, Megatron fired off his railgun repeatedly and continued using his newfound technique. When he had finished, Megatron had actually torn the being in half, and then he fell to the ground from critical injuries suffered while tearing at the Liege Maximo. Fatigue had also run its toll on the Decepticon leader from the intense work he had put into the fight. The divided body of the creature was able to cry one last time, then fell to the ground with a thundering crash.
The Autobots and Decepticons crowded behind the operating room. It had been almost six months since the final battle at the Hub, with the allied Transformers coming out the victors. With the destruction of the Liege Maximo, the Cybertronians had been defeated for good. Most were destroyed in the battle; the survivors retreated to aimlessly wander the universe, never to harm anyone again.
Now all of the Transformers were on Cybertron, eagerly awaiting the news of those inside the room. Ratchet and Shockwave were still working on Optimus Prime and Megatron, who were both severely damaged when the Liege Maximo was destroyed. Unfortunately, either the Swarm or the Earth terrorist group Cobra built both of their improved bodies, so in order to conduct full repairs they had to convert the bodies back to their original forms.
Suddenly, the two medical Transformers emerged. Everyone on Cybertron came up to ask how either one of their leaders were. Ratchet exclaimed that Optimus Prime would completely recover, while Shockwave made the same announcement about Megatron. Everyone cheered, happy that the two heroes would survive.
Across the universe, the being known as Primacron had finished his creation. It was by far his greatest accomplishment, and he was proud. This was the largest robot ever made, one so large it had the ability to transform into a small planet. According to the instructions, all he needed to do now was to open the odd looking item that was in the craft. He did so, and the creation began to glow. It opened its eyes, and looked around, and then centered in on Primacron.
�WHO ARE YOU?� it asked.
�M-my name is Primacron,� he said, obviously very frightened. �Who�who are you?�
�I AM UNICRON.�
