A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 10
Buried TreasurePatrol Duty. We all have to do it. The names Brawn. You rookies need to get out there pay your dues. Stay on your toes. The Decepticons have been quiet for a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. I’ve heard rumors about an armory left over from before the war in sector nine of Tyger Pax in the Tagon Heights. Check it out.
+ Well done, boys. You found the weapons. Hope you didn’t have too much trouble.
- It was a Decepticon ambush? Don’t let it get you down. We'll get ‘em next time.
Bait and SwitchWelcome rookies. I am Skywarp. This mission is classified, Megatron will scrap you himself if you divulge any details of this operation. Be aware that if captured, we will disavow any knowledge of this mission. Deliver this shipment of weapons to sector nine of Tyger Pax in the Tagon Heights. Feel free to engage any Autobots you encounter, but leave the weapons behind and do try to leave some Autobots around to claim the weapons.
+ Congratulations on the first of many victories in this new campaign.
- You brought the weapons back? You idiots. Patrol duty in Dead End for 6 months for all of you. Be glad we need soldiers, or I’d kill you myself!
A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 21-2
The FirefightersThis is Inferno! Any units in the vicinity of the Pratorius Wharf in Nova Chromium, please respond to a warehouse fire in the north quadrant. There are over 100 workers inside. Get them out and try to contain the fire.
+Good job recruits, we managed to get some of the dockhands out alive. The cargo is slagged, but it’s now apparent that the Decepticons deliberately set that fire in order to draw us out. This could be an isolated incident, or it could mark a renewed Decepticon offensive.
- We should have expected an ambush. Its been too quiet for too long. Get yourselves to CR to recuperate and report back for duty ASAP, we need to determine the Decepticons next move.
Probe Their DefensesDecepticons, this is Shrapnel…shrapnel… Megatron is planning a new offensive against the Autobots. We need to thin their ranks. All recruits to the Praetorius Wharf in Nova Chromium. Start a fire and wait for the Autobots to respond…respond… Kill them all!
+ Well done, Decepticons…decepticons… Megatron will be pleased. Return to base, so we may begin the next phase in the offensive…offensive.
- You have failed?! There will be consequences…consequences… Recruits, return to base for debriefing and further orders.
A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 33-5
Covering FireWheeljack calling any Autobots near the Tagon Heights. We have received word that the Decepticons plan to steal a shipment of weapons we located in an old armory in Tyger Pax, bound for Iacon. We need a team of grunts to see to it that that shuttle gets off the ground. Without those weapons, with our autoguns offline our defenses will be severely hampered. We need that shipment. Primus be with you.
+ The shuttle is away! With those weapons in our hands we stand a fighting chance against wherever Megatron has cooked up.
- The Decepticons have destroyed the shuttle. There’s too many of them. Pull back now, before it’s too late!
Seize the AdvantageAttention all Decepticons! This is Swindle. The Autobots have located a shipment of weapons and are transferring it to Iacon. We must stop them. Destroy that shuttle and we will have hampered their ability to defend themselves. Autobot casualties are a secondary concern. They must not get those weapons.
+ What? You pulled it off? Seriously? Return to base and await orders.
- You failed. HOW?! I gave Onslaught my word we'd get that shuttle. He'll have my head for this!
A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 46-8
Secure the ShipmentCliffjumper here. I need a team to escort the shuttle carrying the weapons we found in Tyger Pax to Iacon. This mission is too important to trust to the rookies. I want veterans only. Expect heavy resistance from the Decepticons. I don’t have to tell you how important this mission is. Stay on that shuttle, and kick the tailgate of any Decepticon you see. There’s no time to delay, get out there.
+ You did it! Wait, what was that? The controls aren’t responding! Cliffjumper to escort team, mayday, mayday, I'm going...
- Cliffjumper to escort team. Cliffjumper to escort team! WHERE IS EVERYBODY! Mayday, mayday, I'm going...
Bring Down That ShuttleAir Commander Starscream to all Decepticons! The Autobots have escaped with the weapons shipment. Bring that shuttle down. I don’t care how many Decepticon lives it costs! Megatron wants that shuttle destroyed . To all my finest and most elite warriors, we strike now!
+ Victory belongs to Starscream!
- Must I do everything myself, you pathetic fools! I have them in my sights. Missiles away! The shuttle is down, I repeat, the shuttle is down. All glory to Starscream!
A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 59-10
Convoy Ultra Magnus calling any Autobots near my location. Any Autobot, please respond! The shuttle carrying the weapons shipment has been shot down. Cliffjumper, is badly damaged. I’ve recovered the weapons, but I can’t get them back alone. This is clearly a job for the titans. Home in on my location. We are on the Tri-Torus Loop, about 100 miles from Iacon. I need reinforcements, NOW!
+ Iacon is in sight. Great job, soldiers. I knew you could do it.
- No! They got my trailer. The weapons!
RoadblockThis is Shockwave to all Decepticons. Ultra Magnus has recovered the Shipment of weapons from the downed Autobot shuttle. They must not be allowed to reach Iacon. Starscream was a fool to not see the strategic value posed by those weapons. Obtain them at all costs. I want as many titans as possible on the Tri-Torus Loop. Do not allow the Autobots to pass.
+ We have achieved all objectives. Dispatch any Autobots that still function, and return to base.
- You have failed to meet the mission objectives. Megatron will not be forgiving.
A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 611
4th and GoalThis is Blaster calling any Autobots chillin near the gates of Iacon. Ultra Magnus is coming in with the weapons shipment from Tyger Pax. He’s got Decepticons hot on his tail! Don’t let them stop him.
+ You gave those Decepticon jerks a beating they won’t soon forget. We have the weapons. Wait! Rumble and Frenzy were hiding in the trailer. They've opened the gates!
- They got the trailer. And Ultra Magnus and Cliffjumper, too! You fools need to get your act together if you want to perform on this stage. Wait! Did some fool leave the gate open.
BlitzSoundwave to Decepticons! Now is the time to strike! Distract Ultra Magnus, so we may begin the final phase of the plan. Rumble, Frenzy, eject. Operation: Infiltration!
+ We have succeeded in all phases of Megatron’s plan. Prepare for the final assault.
- The gates of Iacon are closed. We have failed Megatron.
A Renewed Offensive: Chapter 71-11
Last StandThis is Optimus Prime calling all Autobots. The Decepticons have breached our defenses and are inside Iacon. We must repel them.
+ We may have won this battle, but the war is far from over.
- Optimus Prime to all Autobots. Iacon has fallen. Retreat and regroup. We will return and retake our home.
Victory AwaitsMegatron to all Decepticons! Rumble and Frenzy have opened the gates. Destroy every Autobot! CRUSH THE CITY! Leave nothing but fire and devastation in your wake.
+ Victory is ours! Take no prisoners! Iacon belongs to Megatron!
- Retreat! Who called retreat! Victory is Megatron's. Starscream, I’ll rip out your spark with my bare hands for this.
