1. Grimlock’s last stand.
Me Grimlock tell you, today are last day of war. The final battle are over. Me Grimlock record this so others know, in future when me Grimlock body found and recordy thing what him Perceptor install are activated.
Me Grimlock are not all in one piece. Diagnostics say me have two breems until me Grimlock turn to grey. Me Grimlock use this time in wise way, like him Optimus would.
Me tell you how it end. Me tell you what me Grimlock see, in final battle.
This are us Dinobots. Us are best of Autobot warriors. Us fighters!
Us Dinobots strong. Me Grimlock stand on precipice. Look at Dinobots on metal plain before Iacon. Them fight hard, tooth and claw, and me Grimlock proud. Them breath fire and shoot bullets. Them crack open the ground, and smash them foes to tiny little pieces.
And me Grimlock do same. Me king, me protector. Me stand for others who cannot, who am hiding or who am dying. Me try to save them.
Us Dinobots strong, but enemy stronger.
Me Grimlock stand as long as me can, but after long and valiant battle me Grimlock fall. Enemy are strongest what us Dinobots ever fight. Them are stronger than Trypticon, stronger than Tornadron, them are stronger than Unicron and made of all things what us Dinobots cannot see, as well as things what us can. And them are made of glass and metal and smoke and flesh, and things what us Dinobots cannot touch, but us can feel.
That me Grimlock fall to them are no reason for me to feel shame.
It are only shame that me Grimlock could not save them who are smaller and weaker than us Dinobots before me fall.
Me Grimlock lay on side, where me am now. Me watch from precipice as other Dinobots also fall. Them are grey now, like him Wheeljack in Autobot City. Like him Ironhide and him Prowl and him Ratchet in shuttle. Like him Rodimus in chamber with Vector Sigma main console. Like him Perceptor in control room of space bridge.
It were only her Marissa who did not go grey.
Her Marissa were in gun emplacement. Not jet, as her like the most, but on the ground, beside me Grimlock on precipice. Her were in tower, her face all screwed up like her are angriest and mightiest human what ever lived! But her Marissa also make tears what stream from her eyes and chin. Her do this while her Marissa fire guns what are bigger even than us Dinobots. Guns what were made by him Shockwave long before us Dinobots were created. Guns what were made for defence of Cybertron.
Her Marissa use them guns to protect us Dinobots. Just as us Dinobots use us strength and might to protect her Marissa.
But me Grimlock could not stop them all. Them darkness flow and clatter and flap, and me Grimlock bite them and hit them with tail, and me sear them with flame, but it are no good. Them are too strong, and too many, and them get past me Grimlock.
Her Marissa not turn to grey like her Arcee when things reach her. Her Marissa turn to red, and me Grimlock roar with loudest voice ever heard on Cybertron.
Me Grimlock shout into darkness: me Grimlock not go quietly into night! Me Grimlock smash you! Me Grimlock tear you to pieces! You not kill mighty human what are so strong even though she so small!
But me Grimlock fall. Me lay here, where you find me. Me broken and grey, but you not be broken and grey. Me Grimlock know it are not matter any more if you are Autobot or Decepticon. Me Grimlock know it only matter what him Perceptor say before him colours drain away.
Find last source of energon. Use energon to power core of Cybertron and turn on machine to bring stars back to proper places. Him Perceptor say that stars are wrong. Him say that this bring about thing him call ‘fundamental shift in physical laws’. Him Perceptor say it let in things what are bad. Things what are not meant to be real.
Me Grimlock say you find energon.
This are last command of mightiest of Autobot leaders. You have to do what me Grimlock say.
Find energon. Save universe.
It are up to you now.
