a expanded take on a scene form the 80's animated movie

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=0nF6DRocSdo

i would suggest this for the background music during the scene where optimus channels the very power ofthe matrix itself and the power of his own lifespark through his body when he powers up and uses that kamahma style energy attack on megatron



"I would have waited an eternity for this," "It's over, Prime." Optimus heard Megatron's voice, but it seemed so far away, so distant. "Crawl slave! on your knees! he gloated as he kept the gun trained on the Autobot leader despite being heavily damaged himself. Optimus struggled to his knees, balling his hands together for a final act of defiance as he gathers his remaining strength.He heard his own voice speaking to him. You've lost. Everything you've worked so very hard for has been destroyed. everyone you knew and loved in life has been killed. Its all over. all over. Through the morning fog which covered the battlefield He caught a glimpse of Alita, staring at him. her optics closed in vain as she tried to hold back the tears which streamed down her face her head bowed in sorrow. he saw in the distance his friends and his comrades.they who had given their lives for the code and their beliefs. their faces and optics which had once burned bright in life with hope and determination, were now haunted with greif and sorrow. Alita... I failed them, ive failed you...I've been trying so hard to bring back my past. old friends, old ways. maybe this is what it brings in the heart of a dead city. no past but megatron's rule, no future but Megatron's fist. Event hrough all the pain i can still hear them screaming Avenge me, a million dead scream to me AVENGE ME. no. No. NO! Its not over! I MUST NOT GIVE UP. I CAN NOT GIVE UP! "I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!" my past is dead but I'm alive and i OWE the dead for that.

from somewhere deep in his mind, from somewhere in that faraway place of chrystalline concentration and groggy perceptions, in that far away place of dreams and courage he found a final last well. he had descended into the very darkness within himself, the deepest level. it was partly in his mind, partly in his chest, mostly in his soul. a black pit of hate, anger, rage, wrath, greif and despair. incredibly compressed by his desire and longing for peace, compacted under incredible pressure by his very morale beliefs, held in stasis by the very rigid discipline he had trained himself to posess as a warrior . the pit exploded with all the pent up emotion's he had held in check throughout the greater majority of his entire lifetime up to this moment. A sudden surge of raw distructive energy exploded within primes damaged body as power rerouted from one subsystem to another, his faltering lifesighns peaked dramatically. Optimus had the strength and the determination to do what was necessary now all he needed was the will. Optimus looked up at his age-old nemesis, gasping for breath as his injuries robbed his system of the oxygen it needed to combust energon. Silence spread like a stifling blanket over the battlefield, Prime's horrible gurgling wheeze the only sound echoing across the tarmac. Optimus Prime looked into the eyes of the enemy. He knew that he was the only one who could stop this carnage. He called on the last of his strength for one final blow. he knew he could do it, he could take the monster down optimus was an autobot for whom the word surrender truly had no meaning. The power was there gaining strength like a raging wild fire. the fire like will of determination was burning deep inside of him begging to be released like the throttle handle to a power generator bent on overload but after that he would be spent and it would be over for him .for the sake of peace throughout the universe,for the comrades that i have lost ,my beloved, friends,and family all. for they who have died, and for those who still live that believe in me, right here and right now i will defeat you. for elita, for primus, for the autobot code let there be peace. he thought to himself Then the heroic Autobot gathered all his strength for one word as he threw back his head and screamed from somewhere deep within his soul a primal scream so terrifying and sharp it cut through the tyrant like a stunning blow to the temple.







"N... never!" he yelled, gasping painfully, Linking his fists together, Prime swung his joined hands at the Decepticon's throat and made contact as he opens up on megatron from point blank range slamming both fists into Megatron's throat with a full circle round house punch as he bashes in the armor surrounding megatron's throat cutting of his ability to breath. the decepticon stumbled back 2 full steps as he brought his right hand up to his throat as he struggled to breath. the unintelligable sounds made by his airway as he attempted to draw breath sounded like a deathrattle. the momentary distraction was all the hesitation prime needed as he struggled to his feet. Turning his attention inward, he accessed the power of the Matrix. alita's last stand had provided the inspiration. All it took was the slightest thought – a line of coding, fed from his processor down a length of fibre-optic cabling and into his systems. A slight re-direction of power flow here, a minute telescoping of a ventilation funnel there, and Matrix energy flowed into his body.he cold actually feel the energy as it traveled from his chest to his shoulders through his arms and into his hands. Turning a sacred life force into a weapon was the easiest thing in the world for Optimus Prime. Suddenly, he felt his own Spark twitch and begin to move, inward, toward the sacred artefact. Through their mental link, somewhere in his mind he heard Magnus cry out. He knew… they both knew… what it meant. If a prime were to employ the Matrix in this fashion, to have it consume and destroy the enemy it would likely consume the spark of its gaurdian as well. Violence, he remembered, always had a consequence. Magnus' voice whispered in his mind. This is the purpose, it said, for which Transformers like you and I were created. we must never let our courage die,we shall fight to our last breath my brother, for with these hands we shall create victory. utilising the age old teachings of circuitsu he called forth energy from his very spark. matrix energy began to glow at his finger tips soft and white at first then with the color changing to a light bluish white as the power built up in intensity. lightning like pathways of energy began to arc back and forth as the energy increased. crackling and humming in near spider web patterns between his hands and fingers as the power built up in intesity and strength.The power doubled, then tripled, then swelled beyond measure. prime willed the energy to flow from his hands into a fiery blueish white spere hovering in the air between his hands as it materialised in the air. "DECEPTICONS, LEAVE THIS PLACE OR DIE" he screamed. the wind carries his words to every corner of the city. those of megatron's troops who were still alive looked on in shock, disbelief annd silence. the very sight of prime has chilled them to their very sparks. concentrating mightily he willed the energy to coalensce into a speroid like form of pure matrix energy as it hovered in midair between his hands.

i have tried reasoning with you, he thought silently to himself and i have tried making peace with you megatron. but the only language you will ever understand is violence. "you wanted power so badly megatron here" he spoke to his enemy as Optimus stopped hesitating and unleashed the full fury of the matrix The energy was blistering, and the temperature soared as the energy ball went soaring through the air at incredible speed. megatron had but a single moment to glimpse the ball of incredibly distructive energy as it sped towards him like a bolt of lightning before it exploded against his chest with a sound like thunder as it bashed the central portion of his chest inward completely ruining the purple decepticon insignia as it is peeled half away. The Decepticon leader went flying over the edge of the building, striking other ledges The impacts against more outcroppings of rock add to Megatron's damage, each resounding crunching noise, robbing him of energy and racking his being with pain as armor is sheared off by hard rocks Fracturing the sides which split , spilling wires, fuses, lights, circuitry Sparks fly from the many wounds and his battered armor leaks energon freely, then suddenly... the ground is gone and he finds himself falling and too weak to fly. before he finally crashed to the city street below. his body convulses and shakes like a puppet whos strings have become entangled trying to move, but his systems seem to be rebelling against him . on the cliff Optimus stands tall, armor damaged and bearing heavy wounds, Prime stands, silent vigil over the torn wasteland, His thoughts are almost those of someone in shock, 'is he really gone this time' he asks himself while making sure that Megatron had fallen.suddenly a tightening pain fills primes chest as he clutches his right hand to his fuel pump, his knees gave way as vertigo overcame him. and he collapsed on the cliff's edge.


what optimus just did with the matrix is called a forbidden tecnique attack

an attack so powerful that while it can easily defeat and even kill the enemy it also hasa dangerous effect on the person who uses it

like when gaogaigar would use the eheaven and hell attack without goldymarg and the goldion hammer to shield him from its debilitating effects

in this case optimus put too much strain on his greviously injured body while channeling his spark in the efort due to finish the fight while refusing to go into stasi lock and haveing overriden it much like dinobot did in beast wars season 2 episode code of hero

but at the same time though in using the matrix as a offensive weapon against megatron optimus had effectivly sighend his death warrant and had sacrificed his spark in commintting that act of violence in using the power of the matrix against a fellow cybertronian/child of primus who was not unicronian by alliance or personel origin

also that line ultra magnus says to optimsu through their mental bond is also a shout out to gaogaigar


i belive with this change to the scene from the movie it provides a greater weight of truth to his dieing words of how he himself was nott worthy of bearing the matrix as autobot leaderand as its guardian

thought i would pass this on to you



i beleive with this fan fic scene that i might very well have put rodimus prime through more positive character development then he ever got during all of g1 season 3 put together

fellow transformer fan this is just my idea of how the 80's animated movie should have ended.

at the very least i believe it gives rhodimus prime a chance to go through some much needed character development while at the same time give optimus prime a much more fitting role to exist through as a ghost in the living world beyond his death in the movie itself

basicly his role is that of the ghostly disinbodied warrior or spirit gaurdian as one could also term the role

for anyone who is familier with thundercats

basicly optimus primes role in the heirafter will be that of jagga's character from thundercats

optimus prime would instead continue to exist in the living world as a ghostly spiritual advisor to rhodimus prime. much like how jagga was there in that same role to aid and defend his fellow thundercats in the 80's animated series thundercats

for those who are unfamilier with the trope

as my granddaddy explained it to me the ghost soldier is something that happened quite often on the battlefield during the times of the world wars

at times when a person would willingly sacrifice their life so that their friends and brothers could go on living in their place

at times that persons commitment to thier conviictions , beliefs and their desire to safeguard and to protect their friends and brothers and that persons desire to continue fighting the good fight would be enough to make it possible for their soul to continue to exist for a time in the living world as a otherworldly ally to thier surviving friends and brothers

one that at times could even be seen felt and in a way even be physically interacted with by their still living comrades in arms

though that person had died thier will to go on fighting the good fight and their desire to to finish fighting it would all contribute to makeing it possible for that person to exist alongside thier still living comrades asa a protective ghost warrior /guardian spirit until such a time that the war had ended and that dead person has made their peace with thier life and their still living friends and brothers

as for the song for this scene it is

faith of the heart.

Rodimus Prime stood before a balcony, trying to determine what to say to his allies, who had accepted him as leader and bearer of the Matrix. He didn't think himself worthy, but conditions had refused him any other option. So there he stood. .A new age is upon us now. By banding together, Mecha, Femme, Junkion, Human, and even Orphans we have saved our very existence. We have saved our Universe, preserved our way of life, destroyed the greatest threat to our galaxy, and sent an army bent on conquest to the far reaches of known territory. this day is the beginning of a new age, an age of peace and harmony Opening his mouth, he finally found the right thing to say. "Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian Wars, as we march forward to a new age of peace and happiness. Till all are one!"

With that thought voiced aloud he contemplated the past. we will remember those who we traveled with. He thought to himself, To the last hour, the last day, the last mile of the road we travel. until the day when all are one. "I don't know if I will ever be the great leader that you were, Rhodimus Prime thought to himself, but for sure I’ll give it my best shot" "rest in peace Optimus Prime." He said to himself. Rest in peace, father

"Till all are one!" repeated the gathered Autobots. Kup, Springer, and Arcee joined hands with Wreck-Gar, who was to become the first ally in this new era. "Till all are one!". "Till all are one!" "Till all are one!" repeated the gathered Autobots. Kup, Springer, and Arcee joined hands with Wreck-Gar, who was to become the first ally in this new era. "Till all are one!". " Cheering, the gathered crowd repeated the statement at ear shattering volume. “TILL ALL ARE ONE!” Leaving the partying crowd, the new Prime walked off on his own, but was soon found by ultra magnus, who gave him a pat on the back “We did it Rodimus, we won. The Decepticons are scattered, their leader has been deactivated permanently, and you’re the new Prime. Optimus would be so proud of you…I know I am.” Sighing softly, Rodimus turned his optics to his old friend, a line of fluid running down his cheek. “Would he be magnus? I’m the reason he's dead, and nothing I do will ever remove that taint from my Spark.

”“But Rodimus….”“ No buts magnus. I know I never intended for it to happen but just the same i have only myself to blame for his passing. nothing you or anyone else tells me will ever change that otherwise. i can only hope that i will prove myself worthy of this role bestowed upon me. perhaps i can redeem myself by my actions in life from this moment forward.

Looking towards the heavens, Rodimus sighed and wiped the fluid from his optics.” I hope I’m doing the right thing Optimus. I know you’re up there….please guide me to do the right thing.” hesitantly not knowing what to say Ultra Magnus simply spoke the first words that came to his mind "If- if you don't feel ready for this, we can wait . . ," he murmured. The Autobot leader shook his head and rested one hand on his chest, directly above the flames emblazoned there. The seams of his chestplate seemed to glow with a supernatural azure light- the light of the Matrix, ultra magnus suddenly realized- and Rodimus's face softened.

A gentle smile lit his face as the fear in his optics bled away into an eerie calm. ultra magnus felt chills run down his body; it suddenly seemed as though the two of them were no longer alone in the area. the air began to shimmer around them, the area in front of them became bathed in a blinding white light. slowly but surely the light began to coalesce and take shape and form in front of them. the features were blurry at first as a being began to slowly , hesitantly take one small step and then another step away from the light emminating from behind it. someone was walking towards them from the other side of the allspark.

magnus could sense more then see who it was. as the otherworldly light began to recede and to return to the matrix it revealed a legendary warrior standing before them. he stood tall and proud in the red, white and blue colors he so proudly wore in life. the age no longer visable on his face and body. the hero in his youngest days his youth restored to him in full. he stood there next to Rhodimus holding out his left hand. Rodimus lifted his hand off his chest and laid it back by his side. The hand was reflexively clenched in a half-fist, like a small child's hand as it grasps the hand of it's parent. the father was there for his son plainly visable to the both of them not entirely solid but physical enough to be felt by the 2 of them.

my brother, my comrade, my friend may you rest in peace Ultra Magnus thought to himself as he saw his brothers spiret standing before them as alive and lively as he had ever been in life, even his terrible injuries from his final battle had been fully healed. turning to face his living brother and the newly risen prime, the ghostly legend continued to stare at each of them, taking in their forms with his unblinking optics as though he were commiting to his eternal memory the appearance of his still living brother and his personel living heir

"when i am gone" came the unspoken words to each of their minds, "my power will fill you" spoke the ghost to each of them by telepathy as the ghost continued to speak. " use it well , rule with wisdome , rule with kindness , rule with honor with compassion, and with mercy for those who are our allies as well as those who were our enemies". as the ghost turned his head his gaze fell upon his brother "fear not my brother peace has come at last to our world"

, "I'm ready, 'magnus. Do what you have to." " . . . But- are you sure?" He shook his head, the faint smile still playing on his lips. "It's all right. After all," and the Matrix light flickered and strengthened, "I'm not alone.". time would eventually heal his wounds and he would come to terms with it and prove to be worthy of his new role in life. The sun rises over Cybertron The Autobots had won, but rebuilding the wreck that Cybetron had become would take years, and the Decepticons were not extinct, only driven away. There would be years of hardship ahead, but the large-scale war had finally ended.


Some time later, we see a large round table. Seated there are Rhodimus, Arcee, Soundwave, Cyclonus, Kup, ultra magnus, springer, Scourge, Grimlock, and Blitzwing. We hear Rhodimus's voice: "It was a world transformed. Things were not what they seemed." We see a new symbol on the command center of Cyberton--a combination of the Autobot and Decepticon symbols. "After the last Cybertronian war there was peace at last. Autobot and Decepticon met each other as equals, and finally there was lasting peace." "For those who tried to manipulate us. . ."

We see the ruins of of the Hall of leaders, most especially the remains of Galvatrons cruiser. "

. . .and those who tried to dominate us. . ." We see the remains of Unicrons body floating through space. "

...And the worst among us were gone at last. We see a tomb dedicated to Megatron greatest leader of the Decepticons

..We were the masters of our own destiny. We had reached the end of the road, and the road led to a new road, a road traveled as one. And we will look to the horizon with hope. . ." We see Springer and Arcee with a smaller robot, possibly theirs. ". . .we will remember those who we traveled with. . ."

We pan a hall of fallen warriors--Ironhide, Ratchet , Huffer, Brawn, Wheeljack, Windcharger, Tracks, Raul,Sparkplug, Prowl, Optimus Prime and thier fellow autobots who gave their lives for the cause at autobot city are represented as statues as well as Thundercracker, Skywarp and Megatron in the hall of hero's "

. .To the last hour, the last day, the last mile of the road we travel. . ." The sun rises over Cybertron. ". . until the day when all are one. . ."
