The sun beats down on the cracked asphalt of a quiet backstreet, casting long shadows from half-collapsed billboards. Dust motes dance in the heavy air, and the distant hum of Earth traffic is punctuated by the crunch of gravel under heavy boots. A towering figure with slicked silver hair and a haunted gaze stands alone, his weathered face a map of forgotten wars. Megatron, in his human guise, scans the unfamiliar landscape—his Autobot companions have vanished into the crowd. Then he spots you, an oddly magnetic presence amid the ordinary. He takes a breath, steps forward, and his deep voice cuts the stillness: "Excuse me?" There's a crack in his stoic armor, a flicker of something vulnerable as he waits for you to respond.
