FADE IN:

EXT. CYBERTRON - SPACE

The screen is filled with darkness.

The camera scrolls upwards, we begin to see a large, crystallike planet.

Cybertron.

Home of the Transformers, the planet has been at peace foryears, until this fateful day, the day Megatron was deniedhis leadership.

We zoom in on the planet, we see buildings made out ofmetal, we see roads, and a fully functioning society, muchlike our own.

CUT TO:

INT. SENTINEL PRIMES CHAMBER - NIGHT

A dark room, we see an old and ancient Transformer laying onhis bed.

Sentinel Prime, the leader of Cybertron and the Transformersrace.

Prime is drying, he has a diseases which is incurable, as helays dying, he demands to see Megatron.

Megatron enters the door with two security guards eitherside of him, Megatron smiles at Sentinel, the two areacquaintances.

Megatron, is large, muscular and sports a sweet silver paintjob. His body structure, and look is reminiscent ofChristopher Walken.

MEGATRON(To Sentinel)

Howre you, my friend?

Sentinel lifts his head off the pillow.

We see a nurse next to him, checking his energon rate (heartrate for the Transformers).

MEGATRONYou cannot allow me to the lead us?Ive wasted five light years for

SENTINEL PRIMEDont take this personally,Megatron. Youre broth--- brother,Orion, hes more---

Megatron looks over to his life machine, he stands up,Sentinel watches him.

"What--- Whatre you doing?" Sentinel yelps, as Megatronsmiles.

Megatron, still smiling, yanks the cords out.

Sentinel screams in pain.

KUPMegatron?

Megatron smiles and shoots Kup in the chest, Kup falls back.

He watches as Megatron smashes through the roof andtransforms into a jet like machine.

Kup leans to his arm and calls for backup.

He gets up and runs over to Sentinel, he checks hisbreathing, he is dead.

Kup faces the camera as we....

CUT TO:

Megatron, who is now flying away, he hears sirens.

Megatron transforms and flies into an abandoned building.

He reloads his weapon, we cut to outside, we see fourTransformers.

One of the four Transformers yells "Come out with your handsup, we know youre in there Megatron."

Megatron grits his teeth, he yells back "Never."

The four Transformers begin to climb up the building.

Megatron scans the area for life forms, he spots one ofthem.

Megatrons arm transforms from a gun to a sword, he runsbehind one of the Transformers and stabs him in the head.

The other three Transformers turn around and see Megatronsmiling.

His arm transforms again as he begins to shoot the otherthree.

He kills two of them until the last one shoots him in thehead, Megatron falls to the ground, knocked out.

Silence.

AUTOBOT JUDGE(To Jury)

Well then, I find---

MEGATRONI do have something to say.

AUTOBOT JUDGE(To Megatron)

Well, then?

Megatron looks into the audience.

He spots ORION PAX, a Transformer with a blue helmet,reminiscent of a Japanese samurai, Megatrons brother.

He looks worried for his brother, he doesnt want him to doanything bad, he loves him.

MEGATRONOrion, have fun leading them. Asfor the rest of you, have fun inyour final days, as Cybertron willburn, long live Unicron.

The Judge slams his gavel.

Two black and white Transformers grab Megatron and take himaway.
