High-priority, secured transmission from Razorclaw to Scrapper:
>>”Commanders Onslaught and Scrapper, this is Razorclaw. I know that we just spoke recently, but something urgent has come up that requires your feedback. You both may or may not be aware that the Burning Justice recently appeared on our sensors nearing the Sol System. I don’t have to remind you that this ship belongs to Scorponok, High Commander of the Second Expansion Fleet. While they are still a good distance away, they have already made contact with us. Scorponok does not appear to be on board, but he has requested to be patched through in order to speak with Megatron, himself. This, of course, poses a serious problem for us. Now, Soundwave has already initiated a signal interference to stall for time, but that will not last forever and eventually our kin will come looking for Megatron directly. When that happens the truth will be uncovered and Scorponok will come here to claim the throne for himself.”<<
Razorclaw paused for a moment to let his words sink in before continuing.
>>”Needless-to-say, we currently do not have the means to fight a mech of Scorponok’s power. The option of creating new combiners is on the table, but by the time that happens, the High Commander would have already arrived and seized control of the Empire. The only real options are to utilize Devastator and Sixshot, assuming I can convince Shockwave to help me free the phase sixer from Starscream’s grasp. But, even then will that be enough to stop Scorponok? I fear not. Nor would it be right for me to sit on the sidelines and let others fight a battle that I should be fighting. Unfortunately, I alone do not have the power to defeat Scorponok. I would require your help once again. Thus, my question to you both is: should we even try to fight him?
“With your support and assistance, I have fought for and won the throne in order to give the specialty groups the respect and position of power that we deserved. I also did it to keep the leadership out of the hands of Shockwave, Starscream and even Thunderwing, all of whom were not worthy successors to Megatron. However, Scorponok is a different story. I really have no qualms with him and he is the rightful second in command after the slagmaker. Thus, should we not at least consider throwing our allegiance to him? It would, after all, avoid more infighting and thus be better for the Empire as a whole. I know that after all we’ve fought for this seems like we would be giving up, but it may be our only option other than facing Scorponok’s wrath. The Decepticon mantra has always been that the strongest should lead. Until recently, that was Megatron, but now that has changed. I’ve already received feedback from Motormaster in regards to this. So, I now ask both of you, Scrapper and Onslaught, should we try and fight Scorponok or should we embrace him as leader of the Decepticons and put an end to any further possible infighting once and for all?”<<
