BT-22 CONVOY
Unfinished Business – Part 4
The mysterious substance born of the Timaeus Project was dubbed “Alternium.” It appeared to be about the size of a car’s side-view mirror, but study revealed that it was an element from a higher dimension and its true form was enormous. The Cybertrons were only able to perceive the portion of it that had emerged into this world. According to Arcee, this substance was the key to the birth of the super-existence that would appear in the distant future known as the “Alternity.”
Although these details had been gained, it was not yet known how to best utilize it. However, Commander Convoy convinced the others that they must not rush to seek out answers. “In any case, the path to the future has been opened. Now it is time for us to put an end to the BT wars that are ravaging the world.”
Wheeljack stepped forward. “Then it’s finally time for my Omega Unit to make its appearance!”
In a certain Australian city, Black Convoy activated a certain machine that had been set up all over the city. “Commence mind transfer.” It was a device that separated human minds from their bodies and transferred them to a crystalline storage unit. Through this method, he hoped to create an artificial Matrix. “If this experiment succeeds, I will use the Cybertrons next.” He glared at the Protector’s container next to him. However, right before entering the separation sequence, the device suddenly stopped functioning. As the Destrons noticed this, they realized that they were already surrounded by the Cybertron army led by Ultra Magnus. “This is a hair-raising scheme. I cannot allow it to happen!”
The Omega Unit is a life form created by fusing Wheeljack’s life force with the power grid and network of Earth. In a sense, it is Earth itself. With this great consciousness, he was able to sense all of the destructive Binaltech research happening on Earth and had revealed it all. All around the world, EDC teams led by Prowl were taking care of each.
“I will have a final showdown with Black Convoy,” announced Convoy amidst the battle. “So you seek to fight me in the same form as me. But my current strength is much greater than it was before!” Black Convoy activated his spectral armor and gave Convoy the first punch. Convoy collided with the device and fell to the riverbank.
At that moment, the Protector, who had been rescued by Arcee, flew through the air and descended upon Convoy. “You are…” The Protector slowly sank into Convoy’s chest and fused with his laser core. In Convoy’s mind, he saw the Protector’s true form. “This fusing of sparks…I feel as though I have experienced this in the distant past. That time, too, you saved my life!” The massive power of the fused spark wrapped around Convoy like an aura, and he stood up. “The seeds of the future are already in our hands. Binaltech will never give you great power!” He absorbed Black Convoy’s attack and the flying energy beams with both arms and hurled it all back at his enemy. Black Convoy was swallowed up by this immense power and finally exploded into scattered shards. The Cybertrons cheered and Starscream and the other flying warriors gathered their compatriots’ corpses and flew off.
“Now, everyone, have we taken care of everything?” “Let’s see, Commander. Since I’m in a good mood today, I can’t think of anything. Let’s think about it again tomorrow.” Ultra Magnus gave the order and the convoy of Cybertrons drove off into the sunrise. At the very tail end of this, Grimlock was left feeling as though he had forgotten something very important.
