*CKKRSSHHHH*
*BOOM*
*KER-BLAMMM!!!!*
*Black smoke billows up, electrics fry and sparks fly, stone caves in and sheet steel rips and flies like confetti... plasma bolts the sickening colour of freshly shed energon scythe through the carnage, every blast bringing down pieces of the immediate area. The cacophony of discharged energy bolts, thunderous explosions, and the booming resonance of struck plating is a tangible force, brutalising, deafening. The air is clogged with the stench of burning insulation and the hot, oddly exhilarating smell of molten, smelted metal.*
*the smoke parts, and a huge, terrifying shape stalks forth, cannon still smoking on a wrathfully raised fist, optics narrowed to raging crimson slits of pure hellfire that gleam beneath the jagged triple-tined crown of Unicron's Herald*
GRRRAAAARRRRR....
...so!
This is what they think of me, is it?! Or this?! How dare they... how dare...!
*pauses, momentarily stripped of the power of coherent speech; dragging smoke-laden air through intakes in raw, scraped-steel gasps, teeth grinding together with fury*
Is this what I am to become in the sight of history? An incompetent - a lunatic - a laughingstock for Autobot and Decepticon alike? A devil on a chain whose name has no meaning save to frighten raw recruits? Do they account me nothing?! And Prime even dares to credit Cyclonus for Decepticon leader... Cyclonus! Hah - as if! Only Galvatron leads the Decepticons - ONLY GALVATRON!
And I Galvatron swear I will not stand for this mortal insult! They WILL yet crawl before my feet - if I must burn down the universe and hunt them to the ends of eternity to bring them the pain they deserve! Thus I decree it, and thus it will be!
*energy aura shimmers and flares in kaleidoscope patterns of emotion, flickering like quicksilver and multihued lightning*
*tilts head, almost visibly changing mental gears; mouth twists into a malevolent smile, voice becoming silky with menace*
And answer me this... if Optimus Prime and Megatron are so very wise and so very mighty, if they account themselves the arbiters of all things in this universe... then how is it that one of them is dead and the other one is - ME?!!!
*flings up head in a wild peal of mocking laughter*
Cowards, fools, and weaklings - hahahahaha! - prepare to meet your makers!
Over and out,
~Supreme Commander Galvatron; Herald, warrior, leader, conqueror, THE ONE AND ONLY!~
