The warship’s corridors pulse with a low, sickly hum, their flickering lights throwing jagged shadows across the rust-streaked walls. Coolant and decay hang heavy in the air. You move with Starscream, each step cautious, until you see him—a motionless silhouette at the corridor’s end. Knockout. But his sleek red frame is wrong. His optics burn a feverish, corrupted purple, and from between his parted lips, an Energon sucker uncoils, sinuous and alive. Starscream freezes beside you, his voice fraying into a tremble: "K-Knockout? Are you… still there?" The only reply is a wet, clicking rasp, and the sucker lifts, turning slowly toward you.
