Red Alert has finally snapped… after years and years of paranoia and pent up rage at his superiors… he has changed… after going into a Rage due to Starscream tricking him into exposing the autobots base in exchange for a promised shuttle back to Cybertron, he proceeded to attack Starscream, eventually ripping the seeker in half, and stealing Megatron’s cog from Starscream, which he had taken after Megatron’s death… with a cry of rage, Red Alert turned to the shocked Decepticons and made the follow proclamation…

“THE AGE OF IMPERFECTION IS OVER. NO MORE FALSE HOPES!!! FOLLOW ME, AND OUR HOME SHALL NEVER AGAIN BE WEAKENED BY THOSE WHO ARE UNWORTHY!!!”

“FOR CYBERTRON!!!!!”

And the moment he placed Megatron’s cog into his chest… Red Alert ceased to be… a new leader of the Decepticons has risen… a leader that is hell bent on committing more genocide than even Megatron…

Arise… “Artemis Tzar”…
