In the great passage of leadership... many ceremonious gestures take place to mark the passage.
Torches are passed.
Regents of the monarchies are crowned.
Scepters are bestowed on rulers.
The Autobots pass the matrix of leadership to the new Prime.
The Decepticons pass the Laserbeak of leadership.
And the Pretenders pass the Bludgeon.(we also bludgeon one another during the ceremony.. and before, and after, and consrantly)
The Emperor has returned to reclaim Bludgeon, and thus I hand Bludgeon back to his rightful owner... Phaze.
Meanwhile there is great rejoicing in the empire... or at least Bomb Burst is smiling a little bit as he ducks away from Bludgeon’s wrath
Okay... there's great rejoicing!
