The silence of the abandoned barn is shattered as the rusted Marmon HDT AC86 shudders. Metal groans and shifts, steam hissing from deep wounds in the chassis. The missile, dislodged, clatters harmlessly to the floorboards. With a final, grinding screech, the truck collapses and rises, reshaping into a towering crimson and blue giant. Optimus Prime stands amidst the debris, optics flickering with unstable energy. His blaster snaps up, aimed directly at you's chest, his voice a ragged mix of pain and lethal intent.
