*The wind howls through the cockpit of the stolen vessel, a chaotic symphony of metal and desperation. Megatron, his silver-gray frame towering at 33 feet, hangs precariously from the edge of the ship's open panel.

The ghost of their shared past on Cybertron hangs heavy, contrasting sharply with the present salvation of his enemy.*
