Decepto-Pack Story ( Transformers : Ask Vector Prime )
Q : Dear Vector Prime
What is with Decepto-Packs ?
A : Dear Horrific Happenstance Human
I shudder to think of the untold damage the Decepto-Packs wrought to Primax 185.0 Beta. In response to the success the Autobots garnered with their S.T.A.R.S outreach to humanity, Decepticon City Commander Galvatron reactivated Dr.Arkeville's Hypno-Chip Initiative. Humans were reprogrammed to the Decepticon cause and given quasi-sentient Decepto-Packs to augment their own rather limited capacities
Armies of brainwashed Homo Sapiens marched across continents, creating additional Stroboscopic Opticon facilities and, of course, Decepto-Pack production compounds. The Autobots were, generally speaking, unwilling to fire on the enthralled masses and thus scores of them fell to the advance
The S.T.A.R.S recruits fought back valiantly, weaponizing Gold Plastic Syndrome and utilizing the Photodegradation Protocol in a desperate attempt to stave off disaster. It proved too little, too late. Galvatron, from his Decepticon Powerbase in New York City, successfully provoked a nuclear strike from the tattered remnants of the human nations, enabling him to collect enough Energon to direct his vast army of slaves to construct an army of fearsome Zod drones, which he unleashed across that unfortunate reality. System after system fell to his relentless onslaught and the galaxy looked poised to fall under a Decepticon bootstrut forever
Succor came from the unlikeliest of quarters, the Quintesson Pan-Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere. Their vast Terrorcon hordes met the Zod fleet in battle and the stars themselves trembled. Civilization after civilization were mere collateral damage, brushed aside by the hands of angry gods struggling for the future of an entire reality
Even this gargantuan action might not have been enough to thwart the Mad Emperor, had it not been for the actions of Ratchet, by then simply called The Autobot. The last Autobot left alive on Earth, perhaps anywhere, he and a few cybernetically-enhanced humans, the Dreadnoks, snuck aboard Galvatron's flagship, the Galvaberg II, in a desperate guerrilla action. At the cost of their own lives, they disrupted Galvatron when he was at his most vulnerable, as he transitioned his bloated, gargantuan Spark into what was once Cybertron and what was to become Grand Galvatron, a planet-sized body from which he could sweep away the Quintessons who dared defy him. Thus did the Deranged Titan expire
The leaderless Decepticons continued to war with the Quintessons for centuries. War ravaged the galaxy. What was left of humanity attempted to rebuild, only to find that the Galactic Council, representing a universe shattered and broken, held Earth responsible for the Decepticon onslaught. I...
I could go on but it would be pointless. This reality continues to exist but it is not a place that I would ever voluntarily visit. Decepto-Packs. If you hear the faintest inkling of them in your reality, take immediate, ardent action
