One Shall Stand (CLSAoT: WFC)

This is how One Shall Stand goes in Connor Lacey's Super Adventures of Transformers: War for Cybertron.

Narrator: THE ORBITAL CANNON IS OFFLINE, BUT HAS REVEALED ITS TRUE FORM TO BE NONE OTHER THAN A SAVAGE MONSTER NAMED TRYPTICON. IT RACES TO THE PLANET'S SURFACE LIKE A METEOR, HUNGRY TO ENACT REVENGE ON THE AUTOBOTS.

[

Bumblebee: Look! There it is!

[

Optimus Prime: Silverbolt, this is Optimus. We've pinpointed the crash site and are moving in for a visual. I want you on stand by in case there's any trouble.

Silverbolt: [over comm] Roger that, Optimus. We're jetting your way, but it will take us some time to reach you.

Ironhide: You think that hunk of junk can survive a crash from orbit?

Silverbolt: [over comm] Trypticon is as tough as they come. If he is still alive, your weapons won't damage his armor. You'll have better luck targeting his weapon systems.

Optimus Prime: Thanks for the tip, Silverbolt. We'll be careful.

[

Ironhide: This must be the place.

Bumblebee: Really? What was your first clue-the total devastation?

Optimus Prime: I don't see any signs of Trypticon. And in his size, he'd be hard to miss.

[

[Trypticon's tail appears out of the ground]

Ironhide: What? Is that A TAIL?

Optimus Prime: Silverbolt we've located Trypticon uploading coordinates now.

Trypticon: You thought you could destroy ME? You thought you could destroy TRYPTICON? Haaa! Pathetic!

Bumblebee: He's just laughing at us.

Trypticon: Abandon hope vermin. Your death approaches.

[Trypticon brings out his shoulder cannons and starts firing on the group]

Ironhide: You heard Silverbolt! His armor's too tough!

Optimus Prime: He can't be invincible. We're overlooking something.

Ironhide: Look! I think his shoulder cannons are overheating! If we could cause them to overload, it might destroy them!

Optimus Prime: Ironhide's right. We've got to figure out how to overload those cannons.

Trypticon: I will grind you all to DUST!

[Trypticon fires his remaining shoulder cannon at the group]

Trypticon: You'll pay for that vermin!

Ironhide: I think we just made him angry.

[

Silverbolt: [over COMM] The cavary has arrived! Air Raid, heal Prime and the others! Jetfire and I will cover you!

[Jetfire and Silverbolt fire at Trypticon's back, making him roar in pain]

Air Raid: Deploying healing charges! Just be near them when they detonate!

Optimus Prime: Air Raid, look out!

[Trypticon smacks Air Raid away with his tail]

Optimus Prime: Silverbolt! JETFIRE!

[Trypticon turns around and fires at Jetfire and Silverbolt and they fall]

Optimus Prime: Autobots, Trypticon is about to attack. Be ready for anything.

Trypticon: You cannot escape from me. Now, die!

[

Bumblebee: What's happening to his sides? They're changing!

Ironhide: He's still got the same problem--too much heat build up. Aim for those dissipation coils on his ribs!

Optimus Prime: We're following Ironhide's lead on this! Target those coils!

[

Ironhide: He's not as tough as he lets on!

Bumblebee: Yeah--that looked REALLY painful!

Trypticon: ARGHH! I'll crush you! I'll crush you ALL!

Optimus Prime: Keep it up Autobots. We're hurting him.

[

[Trypticon

and look up to see Trypticon jump down after them.]

Trypticon: You are fools! I cannot be defeated! Witness my true power!

Bumblebee: We barley even slowed him down.

[Trypticon raises his tail]

Ironhide: Watch out for that tail!

Trypticon: Die!

Bumblebee: My weapons aren't hurting him at all.

Optimus Prime: Keep your optics sharp, Autobots! He has to have some kind of weakness.

Ironhide: Those power cores on his back look vulnerable!

Bumblebee: Yes. Something to shoot.

Optimus Prime: Autobots! Focus all fire on Trypticon's dorsal power cores!

[They destroy Trypticon's first power core]

Ironhide: It's working! Pour it on!

Trypticon: NOTHING can stop me. NOTHING!

[They destroy Trypticon's second power core]

Trypticon: You are wasting my time! Lie down and DIE!

[They destroy Trypticon's last power core]

Trypticon: Rooooooaaaaar!

[Trypticon grabs onto a wall]

Trypticon: You will suffer for this, Autobots.

[Trypticon brings his hand down on the group to try and bring them down with him but he falls down]

Optimus Prime: Thank Primus...it worked.

[Trypticon comes back up]

Bumblebee: Look out!

Trypticon: You haven't defeated me Autobots.

Optimus Prime: You've lost, Trypticon!

[Optimus Prime jumps and slams his Energon Axe onto the ground, which creates a blast that sends Trypticon pummeling down to an energon lake.]

Optimus Prime: Autobots, ROLL OUT!

Narrator: TRYPTICON IS DEFEATED–BUT THE VICTORY IS BITTERSWEET. OPTIMUS AND THE OTHERS WATCH AS THEIR BROTHERS EVACUATE THE PLANET IN THE GALACTIC TRANSPORTS.

Ratchet: You did it, Prime!

Optimus Prime: WE did it, Ratchet. All of us. Many brothers were lost today… but thanks to our combined efforts, many more will live to find a home elsewhere.

Bumblebee: Optimus, Megatron is still out there.

Optimus Prime: And as long as we remain here, we shall resist him. But in time our turn will come to leave Cybertron as well. I have commissioned a new galactic transport for us... an Ark, in which we shall make our journey through the stars. No matter where we go, Cybertron will be with us.
