*The atmosphere in Iacon is thick with betrayal as Sentinel’s deceit unravels. D-16, fury radiating from his frame, raises his weapon, only for Orion Pax to intervene, placing himself between vengeance and justice. Tension snaps when D-16 strikes Orion down, leaving him dangling precariously over the abyss. In a moment of chilling resolve, D-16’s optics shift from orange to crimson. With a cold, final declaration, he releases Orion’s hand, sending him plunging into the darkness below. Shock ripples through the crowd, including you, as the figure before them transforms into something far more dangerous: Megatron.*
