| - Tipsy cheering can be heard from off-frame as the spinny (*spinny spinny*) reveals, of all people, MEGATRON standing in the NCC control room, hands on hips in that "baby you know I don't mean to hurt you" pose of his. He looks pretty much exactly as he used to, nickle plating and scroll-work on the chest and everything. A little updated, perhaps, but obviously himself. "My Decepticons!" He sounds like his old self, too. That gloating, ironic four-packs-a-day voice. More cheers from off-screen, and Megatron waves them off.

| - Tipsy cheering can be heard from off-frame as the spinny (*spinny spinny*) reveals, of all people, MEGATRON standing in the NCC control room, hands on hips in that "baby you know I don't mean to hurt you" pose of his. He looks pretty much exactly as he used to, nickle plating and scroll-work on the chest and everything. A little updated, perhaps, but obviously himself. "My Decepticons!" He sounds like his old self, too. That gloating, ironic four-packs-a-day voice. "We have had a victory! As you know I normally do not give addresses, but you may have many questions and it's no trouble for me to give you your answers. Relatively early in my imprisonment-of-the-flesh, which several of you suffered along with me, I found that my meat body was decaying with alarming speed. With my trusted lieutenants I left Earth to search for a solution, and a solution was found." Megatron gestures to the big screen behind him, where a file photo of Avatar appears. Avatar looks very much like Megatron with a bunch of extra stuff bolted on all over; the equivalent of a tuned-out Honda Civic with giant plastic scoops and spoilers. "Under Scourge's leadership, Snapdragon and Brawl penetrated Autobot territory on Cybertron to breach the tomb of the usurper Avatar, whose body was built up from a copy of my own. The Autobots and Avatar's loyalists were scattered, maimed or killed, and the raid successful. Meanwhile, a few of Scourge's sweeps scoured the length and breadth of the galaxy for the Ruby Heart of Krithella IV, the only crystal known to possess such unearthly purity and perfection as to be practical in the cross-techno-biological psychic transference procedure Hook proposed. As you may recall, the Heart of Krithella was stolen from Krithella IV by the Junkions, and I have sought it ever since. It is now shattered, but it served its purpose." More cheers from off-screen, and Megatron waves them off. "My Unicron-given body, although amazingly durable, is beyond our current ability to fabricate. Therefore, having rebuilt my old body from Avatar's duplicate, my mind was transferred from my failing meat body, kept in cryostasis, into this." Megatron gestures at himself. "With my cross-dimensional link to the black hole NGc-4472-X restored, I was able to threaten the energy beings who did this to us with utter annihilation; even a being of pure energy is subject to destruction by a beam of accelerated antimatter. Of course, having already transferred my mind, my body was not restored when the aliens abased themselves before me and gave back what they had taken to those of you who were 'humanised.' But so be it; it is a small sacrifice to have my soldiers returned to me." More cheering from off-screen and a very distinct "WOO KEGGER WOOO MEGATRON" from Astrotrain's echo-flex voice. Megatron waves it down with a dry smile. "And there you have it. Goole's people should not trouble us further." "Hail, MEGATRON!" someone shouts as Megatron gestures for the recording to end.
