Eugenesis, Part Six Scene Three: Mirage Tells Optimus To Chill Out

Things are going just swimmingly on Aquaria.  

Remind me why they brought Galvatron along again?

Luckily the Quintessons know how to build an underwater base, and all that nasty, acidic aqua fortis gets drained away and the hole stopped up.

Surprise surprise, nobody’s here; they all got on board the Thermopylae and got the hell out of dodge. Ultra Magnus, because he hates to be wrong, decides that they’ll be searching the base anyway, splitting up into pairs. He will, of course, be going with Galvatron, because he’s the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Babysitters’ Club.

Over on the Ark, Optimus is on the phone.

Whoever they’re trying to find, they better do it quick, because we’re running out of book here.

Optimus hangs up, then immediately tangles with the resident asshole, Mirage, who’s just about had it with the Prime’s doom-and-gloom attitude.

Is this racist? It feels racist. I can’t believe my robot dad is being racist right now.

Mirage starts listing off all the awful shit that’s happened since Optimus kicked the bucket- it’s a lot, by the way- and then says that despite all that nonsense, everyone here is still willing to keep going, and that Optimus should be fucking PROUD of them.

But we can’t delve any deeper into Mirage’s daddy issues, because the Quintesson Tridents have caught up to the Ark. It’s time for evasive maneuvers!

Bluestreak whips the ship around corners, leading the Quintessons on a wild goose chase through the canyons- yeah, we’re back at the Sonic Canyons now, and it’s friggin’ loud as shit- bringing them right where they’re wanted. Everyone jumps out and gets ready for another fight, the Ark flying off again to safety.

Or, well, it tries, anyway.

Well, shit. That wasn’t part of the plan.

Back over with Nightbeat, he’s still processing the conversation he just had with Optimus. After a bit of shellshock, he figures orders are orders, and takes Frenzy over to the wormhole to run some time-travel-shenanigan errands.

Meanwhile, on Aquaria, Ultra Magnus and Galvatron just found his old cell, and his old cellmates. Thunderclash and Longtooth are still stuck together like bubblegum and a wad of hair, so nothing’s changed. Galvatron leaves, but Magnus has the bright idea to try and salvage Thunderclash’s brain. Of course! They’re Transformers, they can just put his brain into a new body and everything will be fine!

Oh no, that’s right the aqua fortis.

Thunderclash, I am so sorry dude.

Meanwhile, back at the wormhole, Nightbeat and the fellas just got back from the past, and things are going even more to shit than they were when they left like a minute and a half ago.  

Also, Thundercracker’s here now.

They load the flyboy onto the shuttle, as Nightbeat reflects on the fact that he’s gotten pretty good at kidnapping folks recently. He probably won’t get very many more chances to try it out though, because now the wormhole’s decided that it’s going to start to shrink.

On Aquaria, it turns out that Haxian stayed behind after all, as Death’s Head tries to shoot him in the face. He manages to jump behind cover, just narrowing missing being stabbed with Death’s Head’s hand-spear. Yeah, he replaced his hand with a spear, don’t worry about it. Siren’s about to lose his mind, because Haxian’s still got the Matrix around his neck, and who knows what’ll happen if it gets stabbed.

Death’s Head doesn’t care though, as he starts shelling out more hand attachments.

Death’s Head, please, this is hardly the time or place.

So, conflict of interests- Siren obviously needs the Matrix intact, but Death’s Head still has that contract with the Hybridians to kill everyone in this base. The continued existence of an entire race, or a fat stack of cash. Death’s Head knows where his bread is buttered.

While he and Siren are verbally duking it out, Haxian takes the opportunity to pull a Prowl/Kup/Doubleheader/Wheelie and kill himself. The two notice the noise, go over to investigate, and find him still and quiet.

Turns out the Quintessons can self-terminate too.

Give it a second.

There it is! Haxian goes off as Siren tries to grab the Matrix from his cold, dead hands. Wait, he’s a scientist Quintesson, so they’re probably tentacles. Anyway, yeah, that happens.

Let’s check in on Optimus and his merry band of freedom fighters.

You hear that?

That’s the sound of the last tiny piece of joy in this godforsaken novel drying up like a single raindrop on the surface of the sun.

Good news though: the Reddies finally showed up. Yay.

Aquaria again. Magnus is really upset that he accidentally melted Thunderclash’s brain, but Galvatron doesn’t give a shit because he’s been shooting at Xenon for the last little bit. Xenon, who didn’t get on the ship, for some reason. Okay, consider me interested in the motivation for this. He’s guarding the vault, where… God is.

Ultra Magnus heard Haxian explode, and assumes that Siren and Death’s Head have been killed. We ain’t seen any bodies, so you know what that means. Suddenly, Galvatron vaults over to the- uh, vault, seeing as Xenon’s now entered it completely. Magnus follows, and they find themselves faced with horrors.

Hundreds upon hundreds of podded-up robots, all of them smiling alongside Xenon. They’re familiar faces, all of them.  

Okay, so Xenon’s built a bunch of our old pals. Why? What purpose does this serve?  

Oh no, we’re going to address the Cybertronian creation myth discrepancies, aren’t we?

Allow me to explain, for a moment, the hell that is Transformers as a franchise. When you have something go on for- at the time of Eugenesis’ writing and publication- 17 years, with multiple continuities and takes, in multiple countries, things tend to get a bit muddled. It’s only gotten worse as time’s gone on, but if I’m correct this novel was written around the time that they were still trying to pull off the Unicron singularity thing- where all instances of Unicron were actually the same instance of Unicron, traveling throughout the multiverse to eat every Cybertron ever, thus binding every take on the franchise to each other. The Unicron singularity is, of course, a giant mess that should have never been established, but it exists, and some of the fanfic writers are still trying to clean it up to this day. If Roberts’ is about to attempt what I think he is, we’re in for some grade-A bullshit.

But we won’t be getting to that just yet, because it’s time to jump scenes again.

Quantax just noticed all the Reddies having joined the fight, and is mildly disturbed by how single-mindedly they kill his forces.

I miss Rewind.
