//------------------------------// // Constructicon Showdown // Story: Grogar’s Endgame // by TheClownPrinceofCrime //------------------------------// Optimus Prime and the Autobots traveled across the wastelands of the conquered Equestria. During their travel, they have not encountered any Decepticons yet. They hoped that they would be able to save many other lives from their enemies before it was too late. As they were traveling in their vehicle forms, Optimus made contact with Jetfire and the Aerialbots through their com link. “Jetfire, Aerialbots, I need you all to search for any survivors. We cannot afford to needlessly loose any more lives at the cruel hands of the Decepticons.” Optimus ordered. “Yes, Sir!” They complied. They flew off to their respective ways to discover any creature and pony that survived the massive genocide. The rest of the Autobots continued following Prime on their way to Canterlot since the Nemesis hovered above the castle there. “Optimus, what do the Decepticons want with the equines? I mean, this whole land just looks...primitive to me. What could they possibly want from them?” asked Bumblebee. “I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for that. It could be that they are searching for energon. But whatever they are planning, Megatron must be stopped no matter the cost.” replied Optimus. “Yeah! Those Decepti-goons won’t get away with this!” Cliffjumper added. “Speaking of not getting away, here they come!!” Swoop alerted. There appeared dozens of vehicons heading straight for them with their blasters drawn. They opened fire on the Autobots. The latter dodged the blasts and transformed into their robot modes as they were about to battle. The Autobots returned fire and the field on which they fiercely fought became a war zone. The Lightning Strike Coalition Force were the most brutal fighters of the Autobots. Thanks to their Dino modes, they overwhelmed their enemies with minimum effort. Sideswipe tripped over three vehicons and rammed right into another one who was distracted by Bumblebee. After Sideswipe transformed to robot mode, he punched him on the chest and face repeatedly until the troop fell down. Sideswipe loaded his blaster and blew the vehicon’s head off. Jazz jumped over a vehicon and body slammed him on the dirt. Both warriors struggled for about two minutes until the ‘Con knocked Jazz off of him. He raised his blaster to finish him...but he never fired. The trooper exploded to smithereens. Jazz chuckled at his success. “Those grenades always come in handy, man. Haha, I love my job.” commented Jazz. Optimus and Ironhide were fighting side by side against the vehicons. They kept shooting in one circle to avoid being hit. The vehicons that engaged them were destroyed. “Thanks for the assist, Ironhide.” thanked Optimus. “Any time, Prime. Any time.” Ironhide meekly said. Then suddenly, the Constructicons appeared before the Autobots and transformed to robot mode. They sinisterly chuckled as they long waited to fight the Autobots again. “So...the mighty Optimus Prime has arrived to save those worthless and pathetic ponies! How predictable...” Scrapper taunted. “Surrender, Scrapper! You all have done enough damage to this world! This needs to stop!” Optimus told them. “Surrender? I think you should tell yourself that!” Scrapper defied. The other Constructicons shouted in agreement. “I demand to know what Megatron is up too. What does he truly want from this planet?” demanded Optimus. “Megatron is not here. Soundwave is our master now, along side with a very special one!” Mixmaster replied. The Autobots were puzzled by that statement. “Really? Wow. I never really thought of Soundwave as a leader type, but who is this special one?” Sideswipe asked. “The MIGHTY GROGAR!! That’s who! He and Soundwave will destroy you all and we will dominate this planet forever!!” Scavenger replied. The Autobots were even more puzzled as they heard his name drop. “Grogar? I’ve never even heard of him.” said Ratchet. “But whoever he is and whatever he is planning, he MUST be stopped.” “Agreed. I once again implore you to immediately surrender!” said Optimus. “NEVER!! Constructicons, combine into Devastator!!!” Scrapper ordered. All the Constructicons combined into the chest and torso, arms, and legs into Devastator. The titan activated his massive drillers as he was ready to fight. “Prepare yourselves for OBLITERATION!!!” Devastator shouted. He stomped his gigantic foot on the ground as he attempted to crush the Autobots under his foot. The ‘Bots jumped out of the way and began firing on him. The blasts did very little damage on his armor. Devastator then fired shots from his cannons and missile launchers. The Dinobots were the first to exterminate the blasts and missiles with their fire breaths. They breathed fire on one of Devastator’s legs; that alone was enough to cause pain in Devastator though only temporary. The giant stumbled across the field as he tried to regain his balance. “Great work, Dinobots! Now, we have to fire on his open wound. Let’s go!” said Optimus. Prime and the Autobots fired on his wounded leg that resulted in an increased pain and a detachment of his leg. Devastator, having lost more of his balance, fell upon the ground hard and the ‘Cons detached from each other. “That’s it!! Constructicons, attack!!!” Scrapper angrily ordered. They all drew their weapons and charged at the Autobots. “Dinobots, you four are with me!” ordered Optimus. “Excellent! I love a great challenge!” Grimlock excitingly stated. Prime and the Dinobots then fought with the Constructicons. Grimlock fought against Scrapper; Optimus fought against Bonecrusher; Swoop fought against Mixmaster; Snarl fought against Hook; and Slag fought against Long Haul and Scavenger. “You guys cannot win this war! The only thing you’ll accomplish is losing!!” Slag taunted his rivals. “Shut up, you overgrown beast!” Scavenger snapped. “All of you will be nothing but scrap metal by the time we’re finished with you!” “Yeah...then I’ll have to do all the work of cleaning again. (Sigh) I really hate my job.” Long Haul whined. “Then allow me to relieve you of your duty!!” Slag declared. He took out his energon sword and stabbed Long Haul through his spark. After he retracted , the ‘Con fell on the ground dead with energon spilling before him. Slag then sliced through Scavenger’s blaster, rendering it useless, and cut the Decepticon vertically in half. His mutilated corpse fell down as well. “There, Long Haul, no more work for you!” Slag sarcastically uttered. “Stop flying around so I can blast you!” Mixmaster grunted. Swoop dodged every single blast while flying in the air. Suddenly, Swoop dive-bombed on Mixmaster so hard to the point where the latter became disoriented. Swoop took this opportunity to finish him for good. “You look quite dizzy and unwell, Mixmaster! Well, allow me to give you rest...permanently.” declared Swoop. He grabbed one of his grenades and attached it on the acid tank that Mixmaster had on his back. After five seconds, the tank exploded, the acid engulfing the Constructicon. His corroded body fell lifeless on the ground. “You were imperfect when I first fought you back on Cybertron, and you are still imperfect even as an abominable Dinobot. It’s no wonder I despised most of Shockwave’s scientific work.” Hook condescendingly insulted. Snarl was incensed at this. “ABOMINABLE?! I’ll show you ‘abominable’!” chided Snarl. He seized Hook’s blaster, crushed it, transformed into Dino mode, and ate its remains. Hook was appalled by this and attempted to run. Snarl took hold of Hook and crunched on his legs, chest, and arms. Hook screamed in pain and terror. The Dinobot finally ripped off his head and devoured the rest of his body. He then transformed back to robot mode. “Ha! Take that, Prime!” Bonecrusher said. Optimus was still holding his own against this very strong Constructicon. They kept battling until one of them falls. Neither of them held back their brute strength. “Bonecrusher, this doesn’t have to end this way. If you surrender peacefully, you won’t risk loosing your life.” Prime offered. Bonecrusher wanted nothing in life relating to peace. Hatred and chaos was all he cared. “Decepticons NEVER surrender!!” Bonecrusher defied him. “If that’s what you want, then so be it.” Optimus said with a tone of remorse and sadness. He took his energon axe and cut his right arm off. After he was disarmed, Prime sliced him horizontally in half. “I never wanted this...none of this.” “You cannot triumph, Scrapper! We will save this world and put an end to its suffering!” Grimlock told Scrapper. “You will be the ones to suffer, you big bozo! The Decepticons will reign supreme!!” Scrapper insultingly taunted. Grimlock was infuriated after he said that. He hated to be called ‘bozo’. The fire erupted from his metal body and roared with fiery rage. “ME GRIMLOCK NO BOZO, ME KING!!!!!” Grimlock furiously shouted. He punched his hands to the ground as he transformed into T-Rex mode. This greatly terrified Scrapper. Grimlock seized the Constructicon leader with his wide jaws and ripped him to shreds. He ate the rest of his body. Thus, the Autobots prevailed over the Constructicons. But this wasn’t over yet as they still need to deal with this new threat by the name of ‘Grogar’. Who was this Grogar? How dangerous could he be, and how will they be able to defeat him? Jetfire and the Aerialbots just returned from their mission and stood before Prime and the Autobots. “Optimus, we have great news! There are equines and creatures hiding in a cave on the west side of this land. We need to help and protect them!” Jetfire reported. “Excellent work, Jetfire. We must preserve them and keep them safe at all costs! Autobots, transform and roll out!!” Optimus ordered before they did so and were now on their way to the ponies.
