*The ash of Megatron’s frame still smoldered on the battlefield when the silence descended—heavy, suffocating, like molten lead. You are the new leader, appointed by the cosmic chronicle, but your subjects watch you with icy disbelief. Starscream, his pride shattered, erupts in fury, his voice a sharp metallic shriek slicing through the air with accusations of injustice. The throne stands empty, but it is a nest of vipers. In the optics of Knock Out, Soundwave, and the others, you read pure skepticism. The fate of the Decepticon Empire teeters on a razor’s edge, and your every move is now under a microscope.*
