The End

The End is the 52nd and Final Episode of Rise Of Starscream. it also serves as a Prequel to The S.P.D premiere Beginnings.

## Plot

The Epiusode Starts Seconds after End of Starscream Part 3, Where Optimus Prime finally brings Megatron's evil to an end, destroying his eternal foe with the added power of Vector Prime's sword.

Weeks later, as life returns to normal on Cybertron and the other colony worlds, Optimus Prime calls an "intergalactic peace conference" to decide what should be done with the Cyber Planet Keys. With Bud and Jolt filming the whole shebang for posterity, Override, Scourge, Metroplex, Evac and Colonel Mike Franklin arrive from their respect planets to attend the talks, but none of them is expecting the suggestion Optimus Prime then makes. Rather than hide the Keys and the Omega Lock away, Optimus proposes that they follow in the footsteps of the 13 Primes, and begin a new space bridge project! Everyone enthusiastically supports his proposal...except for Jetifre, who is unsure about accepting command of Cybertron in Prime's absence. All the other Autobots stand up for Jetfire and agree to support him in his new role, and he takes it on with gusto, even giving Bud an interview.

Also on the interview roster are Leobreaker and Scourge, who relate the royal rumble that was held on Jungle Planet to decide its new leader. Scourge wound up winning the boxing match, and so stays on as leader, appointing Leobreaker the Jungle Planet representative for the colonization mission. A leader also has to be found for Velocitron, and so the Speedia 500 is held to make the decision. Hot Shot wins the race, but had no idea of the prize, while the prize Ransack was racing for—Thunderblast's heart—seems forever destined to elude him.

Down on Earth, the civilian Autobots and Ancient Decepticons are pitching in with the relief effort, and even Thundercracker seems to enjoy being an Autobot. Crosswise and Evac wonder what their next step in life should be, and Evac is convinced by Lugnutz to join the colonization program. Also on Earth, in the Autobot base, Bud is editing his film together, while Safeguard looks at Vector Prime's old launch pad from outside, and wistfully remembers the image of his old partner flying out of the base. Nearby, Sam and Mikaela are also contemplating the stars, as Sam tells her of his dream to build a spaceship and join the Transformers in space in the future. Mekaela hopes that she'll be able to come with him, and although she tries to backpedal on her reason for saying so, both these young people know what is truly in their hearts.

Also on Earth, Coby and Bud's brother Tim is getting a lift from Chief Dobson, who sees a future filled with chores for Tim now that his brothers can boast that they saved the universe. As they drive on their way, they pass the traffic light Autobot and his payphone pal, and once they have moved off out of view, the traffic light can stand it no longer, transforms to robot mode, and runs off to join the colonization mission!

The next day, all the Transformers gather on Cybertron to board the four ancient starships. Many goodbyes are said, and many new friendships are forged: the Gigantions are thrilled at the prospect of building a bridge across the universe... Scourge tries to hide his sadness at Leobreaker's departure... the kids give Override a farewell gift... Dirt Boss and Demolishor arrive to join the mission too, Brakedown determined not to be outdone by all these youngsters... Evac strikes up a conversation with Backstop... the Recon Mini-Con Team bid a tearful farewell to Safeguard and the Gigantion Mini-Cons... Landmine thanks the kids for all they have done for him... the Cybertron Defense Team vows to always be bound together, even if they are apart... Lucy Suzuki says goodbye to Colonel Franklin before joining the small human team that is also going on the mission, and the Colonel is left dumbfounded by her cheerful belief that he wants to marry her... and finally. Optimus Prime formally hands over command to Jetfire. When Prime calls him "commander," Jetfire corrects him: now and forever, there is only one *true* commander, and that's Optimus Prime.

Just before launch, a transmission comes through from Bumblebee (who had previously departed Cybertron when the peace conference began to seek adventure elsewhere), informing the Autobots that he has discovered a lead on Starscream's location. Landmine overhears and request to be relieved of his duties on the space bridge mission so that he may join Bumblebee in this quest, and Optimus agrees to allow him and Longhaul to do so. With this final order given, Optimus says his goodbyes to the children, and is given Vector Prime's Planet Map by Bud with the request to return it to the aged Autobot if they should meet him somewhere in the universe. With tears flowing freely throughout the crowd of assembled humans and Transformers, Optimus Prime gives the command to launch, and the great starships take to the skies.

Flying by as the ships take off, Thundercracker wishes Optimus Prime farewell, but then, his attention is caught by a small, rattletrap rocket carying Thunderblast, Ransack and Crumplezone away. He flies over to see what's going on, and they tell him they're tired of playing nice, and have decided to become the "New Decepticon Army". They grab Thundercracker, haul him into the rocket, and strip him of the Autobot symbol he has pasted onto his chest, as he wails and cries about wanting to be on the winning side.

As the starships leave Earth's atmosphere, the Planet Map glows in Optimus Prime's hand, and the image of Vector Prime appears before him, written across the stars, a smile on his face. Optimus nods once, solemnly, and calls for the engines to be set to full throttle. And so, the Transformers set course for the far reaches of the universe... for new worlds... and new adventures.

'Til all are on- hold on a Second.
