megatron gets into candle-making

Knock Out cleared his throat. "My Lord, it's quite hot in here."

"probably because of the several hundred candles i have burning." Megatron gently dripped droplets of fragrant oil down into the candle mold. "the electric lights of the nemesis are too harsh. we should light the halls with a soft flammable glow."

Knock Out stood on the one spot of floor that didn't have candles all over it. "Whatever happened to conquering and ruling Earth?"

"this is my side-hustle. every good warlord has one. if you can't handle the heat then get out of the nemesis."

"So this is the Facebook business opportunity you've been ranting and raving about for weeks?"

Megatron nodded proudly. "indeed. see, my job is to recruit investors who in turn recruit even more investors--"

"My Lord, it would appear that you have fallen for a pyramid scheme."

Megatron rolled his optics. "it's not pyramid-shaped, it's triangle-shaped. don't you know basic shapes?"

"I'm sort of bent out of shape I suppose." Knock Out picked up a pink candle. "...Okay." The candle began to shake and fizzle in his servo. "Um?"

Megatron turned on his swivel chair and knocked twenty candles over as he sighed at Knock Out's disgusting lack of candle knowledge. "it's not made of wax. it's dark energon."

"It's dark energon?!"

A deep voice boomed out from the candle. " Į̵̀ ̶̩̒W̴̉͜Ì̸̬L̶̦̐L̵̖̎ ̸̚ͅR̸̨͌U̶͖͠L̴̮͊E̵͈̎ ̶̡́Ȩ̴́A̴͇͑R̸̞̒T̷̨̊H̷͎͆"

Knock Out stared at it. "...Is that Unicron?"

"i think his spirit haunts the vanilla ones."

Knock Out shakily put the demonic candle down and picked up a red and blue one. "What's this one?" He turned it around and saw that Megatron had used his talon to carve the candle's name into its side.

Betrayal Scented

Knock Out sniffed it and grimaced. "What scent even is this?"

"eighteen-wheeler"
