Transformers: War for Cybertron: Siege

You!

You've got enough spark in you left to walk.

- On your feet. - No.

I'm not supposed be here. There's a mistake. It's a mistake!

You're the only mistake I see here.

Time for the arena.

No. No one ever comes back from there.

I… I shouldn't be here.

I'm a loyal Decep...

Move!

Auto…

Autobots?

Decepticons?

Imprisoning their own?

Open it.

I said, open it.

You're free.

All of you, go.

Go!

Since my days working in the mines,

to my rise from the arena,

to my revolution I have fought…

I fought for Cybertron.

I have pushed us forward.

And now I ask myself…

"For what?"

Because of Prime,

we are marooned on a dying world,

waiting as death slowly surrounds us.

And now I am forced to do the unimaginable.

The arrogant fool destroyed himself,

the Autobots,

and, tragically, the Allspark.

His stubbornness has condemned us all.

But you understand more than anyone.

What?

Lord Megatron, Shockwave requests your presence.

I'll be right there.

You'll have to excuse me, Magnus.

As you know,

duty waits for no one.

What is it, Shockwave?

Lord Megatron,

Section 12 has fallen below satisfactory output.

What section hasn't?

Need I remind you?

At our current rate of power consumption,

we approach dire...

Yes, yes.

Grave.

I suggest we take Section 12 offline

and recycle their resources for Project Nemesis.

Another sector already?

They are no longer manufacturing at a satisfactory rate.

And you feel Sector 12 will prove more useful to us

in other capacities?

It is logical.

Although, time is of the essence.

I'll let you know what I decide.

Until then, do not take Sector 12 offline.

As you wish, Lord Megatron.

Elita…

Can we speak for a moment?

I didn't want to question you in front of the others,

but earlier, the prison camp…

Are you sure we should be freeing Decepticons?

I'm not entirely sure of that answer myself.

But I have an even better question for you.

Why are the Decepticons imprisoning their own kind?

The Decepticons have never taken very good care of their own.

True… but something's changed.

Since the Battle of the Spacebridge,

everything's changed,

including Megatron.

He would never have allowed that before.

The Decepticons thrive on war.

For Megatron to survive, he needs an enemy.

The Autobots are all but killed off now, so he's turned on his own.

If Megatron's locking up Decepticons,

let him!

We should be focused on freeing only Autobots.

They're citizens and they're Cybertronian!

We can't lose sight of that!

I'm not saying we have to murder them.

We just shouldn't risk our sparks

and what little resources we have to help them.

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.

Normally, I'd agree,

but every single Decepticon we free

is just another Decepticon on the battlefield aiming to take us out.

We have to show them a better way, Jetfire.

The planet's almost dead.

This entire sector's been powered down.

We're outnumbered one hundred to one!

The odds are against us as it is.

And yet, we'll continue to liberate the prison camps

and free anyone we find,

because we're Autobots

and that's what we do.

I've voiced my concern.

Elita…

I… just received intel from Steeljaw.

Mm…

If this is correct,

he's infiltrated one of the largest prison camps we've seen.

Jetfire's not wrong.

We take a huge risk

every time we blast into one of these places.

If any of us were locked up…

There would be no one left to free us.

Chromia, the camp is deep in Kaon,

so plan accordingly.

Red Alert…

Prep for survivors.

I'm on it.

Thundercracker, report!

We've hacked into what's left of Steeljaw

and transmitted the bait.

- Excellent. - We'll be ready for them.

Soon, thanks to me,

the Autobot raids on our detention centers

will come to a swift end.

Or should I say,

a swift and brutal end?

You two see that?

- Is that…? - It couldn't be.

He… he came to see us?

Lord Megatron! Here! We… We can't believe it.

Welcome! We're so lucky to have you here.

The mighty Megatron, here in Sector 12.

I'm always here for all my…

- I can't believe it. - …loyal Decepticons.

Uh, let me give you a tour.

I'll show you around, Lord Megatron.

Very few guards for such a large camp.

I don't like it.

I can't remember a time

when you came upon a Decepticon base you did like...

- Shh! - Sorry.
