Author's Note

You all know my thoughts towards the Bayformers films, but I still think there are a few hidden gems within some of those movies that can be found. And in this case, its going to be a different handle on the use of the Decepticons in The Last Knight.

If they're not going to be used in an interesting way or even used at all, then I suppose I can try doing something interesting with them. So I hope you enjoy this episode with its use of the characters that had one to two minute appearances from the movie.

Going Berserk

It was a late night in Canterlot City. Everyone had done their jobs for the day and they were on their way home for some much needed rest. Not everyone was asleep, as evidenced by the few cars that drove around at night with people struggling to get home and out. Thankfully with small traffic, their trips were made easier.

But away from the city, and over in a suburban areas, over at a movie lot, several of the citizens who didn't have to work today were enjoying a film at a drive in theater. Today's picture was a horror movie made from the 80s, and everyone was relishing in the 80s goodness, as hinted by the screams from the horrifying images on screen.

In some of the seats, there were several Crystal Prep and Canterlot High students enjoying the picture as well. For them, it was a much needed break after a long day of school.

None of them knew what was going to happen on this moonlit evening. From a corner of another building, a titanium claw crept out from a dark alleyway and held onto the side of the brick wall, giving a small peek of what was going on around him. Two pairs of glowing red four eyes glimmered in the dark, and a small growl escaped his breath as he stared at the screen that was projected onto a sheet.

He chuckled slightly at the screams of terror that happened in the movie, watching the lady cry out as a horrifying monster was descending closer and closer to its prey.

"No, no, no... run honey, run..." A green haired girl whimpered in one of the seats.

Lemon Zest covered her eyes as the sounds of agony came into her speaker, followed by the howling.

"She should have run..." Lemon said, eating some popcorn.

Elsewhere in the drive-in theater, a singular police truck with blue stripes sat in the drive in lot, enjoying the picture.

"Come on... just get out of there and call the police..." Strongarm whispered.

But the girl on screen didn't do what she whispered and she ran an opposite direction, running into the monster's claw, meeting a slash across her stomach.

"Oooh... that's gotta hurt." Strongarm winced.

But she stopped looking at the movie when she noticed something over in her rearview mirror. She saw a man in a gray suit talking to another girl who was in the car behind her. But this man didn't sound like he was a very kind customer...

"Come on babe, you've got to come over. You'll love my place." The man said.

"I don't want to see you anymore! Not after your affair!" The woman cried.

"You will see me again, and you just need a proper lesson!" The main snarled, grabbing her by the arm and attempting to yank her out of the car.

"Let me go!" She yelled.

Strongarm snarled and she lept into action. Transforming violently, she stomped towards the commotion with an angry face and she sternly set her foot down, getting the man to look up at the giant automaton.

"Oh... is there a problem, officer?" the man asked.

"You're disturbing this young woman, and trying to yank her out of the car is a violation of rule 257. She said for you to go, and you didn't leave. Now, you're under arrest." Strongarm said as she crept down to grab him.

The man jumped into action and he whipped out a gun, and pointed it at the woman.

"Make one move, and she gets it!" The man yelled, scaring the daylights out of everyone else in the lot. No one was paying attention to the movie now. Their eyes were all locked onto the man.

"Now listen up! She's going with me, and if any of you think about calling the cops, she's going to feel a lead bullet through her head, and so will all of you!"

Strongarm hesitantly backed up, but she still scowled. Now she couldn't get him.

The man slowly dragged her out, and he tried to move carefully out with her still held. But as he backed up some more, he stopped when a loud snarl of a monster filled his ears... and it wasn't the movie.

The sound wasn't from the movie at all. It sounded like whatever it was was very close to where he was right now. Carefully, he looked around to find out where the source was. But as he looked ahead, he felt his own body shaking and a lump form in his throat.

"No... no... NOOOO!!!" The man yelled.

"Alright, put the gun down!" Strongarm said, stomping her foot.

"Run for your life!" The man yelled as he threw the girl down and began to run out of the drive-in theater. Strongarm was confused for his terror, but she just shrugged and moved towards the woman, taking a knee down.

"Are you alright ma'am? Do you need an ambulance?" Strongarm asked.

"I'm fine... but I'm going to need to have a restraining order on that horrible man!" She growled.

Strongarm helped the civilian back up on her feet, and she stepped back into her car, and started the engine. She slowly backed up the car, and she moved herself out of the drive-thru on her way back home. Strongarm, now by herself again, turned around to look at the movie again, only she noticed something. Everyone was letting out more screams, only these screams weren't at the horrific imagery that was put on the movie.

People were getting out of their cars, and they were fleeing in terror. This was definitely not something at the movie. She looked at the screen, and her eyes widened as she instantly caught on. A pair of claws were pushed right through the projection sheet, and they were pulling the screen apart. Once more threads were torn, a face pushed right through and let out a growl. As if the sheet wasn't torn enough, the figure just pushed through the entire sheet and revealed the hideous form that he was.

The figure was a bipedal, standing bigger than Strongarm with sharp talons that could cut her in half like a sandwich. A pair of sharp fangs were jagged from his mouth, and there were eight red eyes seen from his face. Golden streaks carrying bullets hung from the back of his head, hanging near the front of his chest and out his back. Two giant dagger blades stuck out from his shoulder, and the rest of his form was mostly gray with exposed structures and fractured plating all around.

Strongarm now had a good look at who was causing the ruckus. And she had to step in. She raised a gun and pointed it at the bipedal.

"Stand down, Decepticon!" She said.

The figure just growled some more and it let out a roar as it stared at Strongarm. The figure stared at her for a few moments before completely ignoring her and then proceeding to run in the drive-thru, stomping right past the cars, jumping over them without stepping on a single one, but creating dents in the ground with its sharp toenails.

Strongarm huffed and she transformed, and began a chase after the figure. Now no one was in the parking lot. Well, one person was.

Stepping out of a car, was Lemon Zest who was shaking a bit and she had bits of popcorn in her hair.

"Well... that happened." Lemon said, pulling a popcorn kernel from her hair and eating it.

In the Everfree forest, it was also peaceful and quiet. But something else was about to rise. A giant metallic pod plopped up from bottom, and began to float up in the lake. A large pounding was going against the door of the pod, until soon enough, the door sealing the pod was thrown right off, and splashed into the water.

Two hands grabbed the sides of the open pod and pulled themselves up, revealing another bipedal figure. The figure had a few metallic plates covering the body, much like the one from the drive-in theater. But this one had different features from the other one.

This figure had two long mandibles covering over a few small and sharp teeth for his mouth, one solid red eye, and two horns sticking out the top of his head. His one eye hummed with a bright red flash as he looked around him.

"Oh yeah baby... free at last."
