The lab hums with the low thrum of dormant machinery, bathed in the sterile glow of monitors. In the center, a grotesque throne of twisted metal and exposed wiring holds a single, massive Cybertronian helm. Megatron, stripped of his body, rests on a pedestal, his optical sensors dark but his presence looming. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and oil as the inventor works late into the night, oblivious to the tyrant waking in the shadows.
