Orion Pax, your noble sacrifice for the greater good has proven you worthy in the eyes of Primus. He entrusts in you the future of Cybertron, and...the Matrix of Leadership!
D-16
[A pulse of Energon emerges... It pulls Orion towards it. The beam of Energon forms a glowing shape... the Matrix of Leadership appears. Meanwhile, B and Elita can only watch in horror as a lot of the High Guard are riled up by their new leader.]
I WILL LEAD US ALL INTO THE FUTURE!
D-16
[D-16 replaces his T-Cog with the new one. Energy radiates through him as he begins his metamorphosis; he grows bigger, metal plating becoming jagged as he adopts his iconic appearance. Like an emperor, D-16 proclaims:]
I... AM...
Alpha Trion
[At the same moment -- A gift from Primus himself, floating into Orion's chest. Causing the shredded metal to reform around it, accepting the Matrix. Power flows through Orion, repairing his wounds. He transforms.]
ARISE!
Megatron
[Optimus' eyes flicker open. He shoots up towards the top of the Well. Meanwhile, in the city: Iaconians run for their lives.]
Burn it down! ALL OF IT!
Starscream
[Megatron proceeds to destroy a monument of Sentinel with rapid fire from his fusion cannon as the High Guard members begin attacking Iacon, relishing in the chaos.]
All hail Megatron! [he along with Shockwave and Soundwave begin firing around Iacon]
B-127
He's gonna kill everyone!
Elita-1
We have to stop him!
Elita-1
[Megatron turns to shoot more images when -- Elita latches onto his fusion arm.]
Stop! It's over!
Megatron
It's over when every last one of his followers is DEAD!
Megatron
[Elita and B-127 fight Megatron, who overpowers them. He is about to finish off B-127, until Optimus bursts in, pushing Megatron aside. Optimus then lands and stands up. We see him in a new, upgraded body, with the Matrix inside his chest]
Impossible... Primus gave you the Matrix?!
Optimus Prime
We could've built the future together...
Megatron
I'll build it myself... after I tear down everyone IN MY WAY! [Megatron charges Optimus, who manifests his battle mask. They go to war.]
