Absolute Truth Part 1: Aftermath of Trypticon

"I'm... One of you."

"Indeed. All thanks to my genius." Tarantulas nodded, stepping aside for Silas to see Breakdown's lifeless husk and, to his shock, a human skeleton.

"You see, Silas, your loyal M.E.C.H agents desperately tried to save you after your crushing defeat from Optimus Prime by fusing your brain to Breakdown's nerve and skeletal systems. But due to the severe extent of your injuries, it was not enough. Your organisation fell apart shortly after you perished, losing your and Breakdown's bodies in the chaos. But when I found you, I decided to use a method that M.E.C.H lacked the technology to utilize. I genetically extracted your memories from your lifeless body and uploaded them into a cloned body I created from Starscream's CNA, the cybertronian equivalent of DNA, but with a few alterations." Tarantulas explained to him with his arms behind his back.

"Truth be told, it took a very long while, but now? Here you are, a human mind in a cybertronian body."

When he stepped out of the vat he stood in, Silas looked over his new body, flexing his claws and bending his arms towards himself as he processed this information of his death and resurrection.

"The perfect meld of man and machine... Exquisite." Silas grinned as he turned towards Tarantulas and Rampage.

"Though I am thankful of my men for their dedication and a lifetime of service, I now see myself more suit to keep the exclusive company of titans. But, I must ask you, Tarantulas. If what you say is true, why bring me back?" He questioned with a raised brow, which Tarantulas giggled to himself from.

"I figured you'd wish for my reasoning, which is why I have cleared my schedule for a history lesson. Let's start with the fate of planet Earth..."

Uzi's groaned to herself, her ombre eyes begrudgingly flickering open, as her consciousness returned to her, yet still feeling dizzy.

"Urgh... What the hell happened? Did someone hit me? Robo-Jesus, that Godzilla looking Con better not had gotten back up for round twoooooOOOOOOH MY ROBO-GOD!"

Uzi screamed in panic, her dizziness instantly vanishing, when she looked down, her eyes hollow in terror when she saw the empty white void beneath her.

Panicked and confused, Uzi quickly rose up to her feet, shooting her head from left to right to see nothing but endless white. Everywhere she looked was the same.

"N? Shockwave? V? J? Anyone?" Uzi called out, her voice echoing across the void, before she swallowed hard. Where were the others? Are they ok?

"Indeed. Your friends are safe, I assure you."

Uzi's eyes hollowed again in panic from a voice, which was clearly not Cyn's, spoke to her from behind. Snapping her head around, she saw that there stood a tall red and blue cybertronian who donned the Autobot insignia on his shoulders.

"Forgive me, Uzi. I did not mean to startle you." The Autobot told her apologetically when he noticed her distress. Uzi's panic skyrocketed when the stranger said her name without her having to tell him.

"Who are you? What is this place? And how do you know my name?!" Uzi demanded the Autobot, wanting to know what the hell is going on, who the hell this guy is and how the f**k he knows who she is.

"Please, Uzi, calm down. I mean you no harm, I truly do." The Autobot assured her, bringing his servos up to show he wasn't a threat.

"And to answer your question, we are currently in your mind."

"Inside... My mind?" Uzi breathed, eyes hollowed in shock from the answer. The Autobot nodded.

"Yes. And for who I am, I am sure you know me from the stories Shockwave told you of me, the leader of the Autobots."
