Optimus Prime vs. Megazord

## Description

Episode One - Transformers VS Power Rangers! Two of the most iconic giant shape shifting robots fight to the death

## Intro

Julie: Robots! They’re cool!

Jack: Yeah

Julie: Let’s make them fight!

Jack: Yeah

Julie: Optimus Prime, Leader of The Autobots since Generation one.

Jack: and The Megazord, The mechanical behemoth of the mighty morphing power rangers

Julie: I’m Gen, that’s Rick.

Jack: and with all their weapons, powers and history they’ll be placed in the crossover colosseum.

## Optimus Prime

Jack: In the far corners of the galaxy, you’ll find Cybertron.

Julie: A planet with more then meets the eye.

Jack: A planet torn by war. The war between the evil Decepticons, lead by the tyrannical Megatron and the heroic Autobots lead by the heroic and wise Optimus Prime.

Julie: But before the war, before decepticons and Autobots. There was peace.

Jack: and two friends. Two brothers - Orion Pax and

Julie: Unfortunately, Megatron was born to the corruption of a innocent soul. And at his hands - Orion was dead.

Jack: With the wisdom of this Robi-Wan-Kenobot, Orion would be reborn as something unrecognisable.

Julie: Unrecognisable from Orion, We mean. I’m sure anyone could recognise who he would become.

Jack: He was reborn anew as a brave leader, genius fighter and best seller toy. He was reborn… as Optimus Prime.

Julie: Weighing at 16.5 tons and measuring at 38’1, Optimus served as a perfect leader for the Autobots. But it was a lost battle. With his home lost to the deceptions, Optimus took his family to a new home. Earth. What were they even fighting over?

Jack: Well in a majority of continuities, Energon serves to keep transformers alive. Sometimes serving as blood that can be shed through damage to any damage done to their body. Sometimes serving as something that can revive the Autobots - such as in Rise of the beasts.

Julie: Other times - it’s just booze.

Jack: Regardless, on Earth - The Autobots used their unique trait as transformers to perfectly blend  in through disguising themselves as vehicles. Optimus’s vehicle of choice being a Kenworth W900.

Julie: It comes packed with a trailer that fortunately disappears for when Optimus needs to transform. Where does it go? If the writers didn’t care why should you. While the truck mode can strike enemies with great strength at great speed - When in robo mode, not only does Optimus posses great skill and expertise in combat, but packs many powerful weapons.

Jack: The Ion Blaster is a powerful giant rifle perfectly built for the hands of a transformer, many a deception to shreds due to its unlimited ammo. But if he loses it - he can just fire some lasers from his hands.

Julie: If he needs a hand he can just use his own to attack enemies using the force. You weren’t kidding about that obi wan stuff, huh?

Jack: Nope, Remember that Energon from earlier?

Julie: Well from nothing but the stuff he can duel wield both axe and sword alike to rip and tear his enemies apart. He can fly through either a Jetpack or jet boots. Whichever he feels in the moment I guess. And I guess the trailer isn’t completely useless since from it Optimus has a very small droid, he can unleash. That’s neat. I guess.

Jack: That’s nothing compared to the Matrix of leadership. A piece of robot god that Prime can unleash on any foe - such as Unicron. A guy who’s daily diet consists of planets. Safe to say Earths in safe hands, especially when said hands can flip over this massive ship that while put in  comparison to other real giant ships - can be estimated to weigh 724,000 tonnes.

Julie: His aims unmatched like Jack. Except Optimus is unmatched in terms of quality being able to shoot a ship in space from ground level. And Jack is unmatched when it comes to the amount of misses.

Jack: OI!

Julie: The walls are thin, I can hear every single complaint they throw! Speaking of throwing-

Jack: Oh, so your just going to move on-

Julie: To throw, you need to lift! Which is something Optimus did to this 81,000 ton Washington monument! One time in a fight against Devastator - this building sized transformer - he punched the ground so hard the surrounding trees combusted!

Jack: He’s tanked all kinds of blasts ranging from normal laser ones shot from guns to ones visible from space. He’s such a tactical leader, he can command 1000 battles at the same time using the omniglobe. He’s defeated many foes ranging from The Planet Easter Unicron, to the building sized Devastator. And of course he’s gone round after round with Megatron and even his stronger improvement Galvatron. As Megatron he managed to tank a blast that managed to launch Cybertron out of orbit. Cybertron is roughly around 6,300 km. A little more then the earth.

Julie: To knock the earth out of orbit, for reference, would require a thrust of 227 billion newtons. And Optimus has been able to punch straight through him. Unfortunately, while Optimus has the touch and the strength, he has one major core flaw. He just such a sweetheart. He’s fair and honourable to the bitter end. He even killed himself because he broke the rules of a video game.

Nick: and too much damage to his spark is like too much damage to a heart. If it’s fully destroyed - he dies. But the earths in safe hands with Optimus Prime in charge.

Optimus Primal: He could return.

Prime: Let him come. United, we will destroy him once and for all!

## Megazord

Jack: Out from the space bin she was imprisoned in, Rita Repulsa - the villainous century old space witch escaped to unleash evil and suffering upon the Earth again

Julie: What a place to start us off!

Jack: The floating Voldemort head trapped in time by Rita’s magic - Zordon - called upon his alien robot played by invader aim to sought out five teenagers to take up the powers of… the power rangers.

Julie: What the fuck? It’s like they had the perfect idea for a profitable kids show but just threw all this shit in.

Jack: I mean where else would all the powers and monsters come from?

Julie: Do you think kids would really care? Plus, why \*shudders\* teenagers? Why not wrestlers, special agents - Sylvester Stallone was right there for god’s sake!

Jack: Well regardless - Jason Lee Scott, Trini Kwan, Billy Cranston, Kimberly Ann Heart and Zachary Taylor were all gifted with enhanced strength, speed and durability and they keys to giant prehistoric animal robots. Billy is the blue ranger, being the smartest of the group and controls the triceratops. There’s Zack inventor of the mix between Kung fu and dancing and control of the Mastadon. A head so strong, it can be used as a shield. It can also unleash a flurry of what may look like bubble wrap but is powerfully durable ice.

Julie: Kimberly Ann Heart controls the skies with the pterodactyl that can travel up to double the speed of sound. Then there’s Trini, tactical genius and in control of the sabre tooth tiger, that can handle the massive weight of a giant monster all on her own.

Jason is the leader of the group who has mastered many martial arts who pilots not just the Tyrannosaurus rex but something… else.

Nick: See - Rita had the ability to enlarge her monsters to Kaiju size, a size where the zords cannot hope to compete with individually. And so they combine their might into the mighty megazord.

Julie: Weighing one hundred and seventy two pounds and measuring at a respectable three hundred and thirty three feet, this massive mech is piloted by all five power rangers. Think Pacific Rim except with Kung fu and dumber monsters. It can incinerate foes with its cranial laser, fire fireballs by hand, use the mastodons head as a shield. What happens if it gets broken? Does Zack just lose his Zord.

Nick: No… just his head.

Julie: I will fucking murder you.

Nick: Speaking of murder, The Megazord is built to do so with the mighty mega sword. Summoned from the heavens, this magic blade has the ability to act as a instant charger and revive the Megazord from one percent. Cutting down Monsters and summoning explosions from the ether. It’s my kind of blade.

Julie: It’s killed hundreds and hundreds of Rita’s monsters ranging from world destroying dragons to time controlling turtles to a warzord designed to conqueror entire planets. The Megazord even contains power to launch one of these monsters over a hundred feat in to the air. Assuming the monster weighs the same as the Megazord, to launch it that large a distance would require a hit of over 90 newtons of force. It even manages to tank a planet destroying blast… barley. I’m it’s improved form… that will not be used in the battle.

Nick: The Megazord suffers from major issues, mainly from its durability it takes too many hits and it falls apart like the cardboard it was built from. Which is really unfortunate due to how slow it is, practically letting the monsters hit it. It can’t work during a eclipse, due to being solar powered, leaving it open.

Julie: But when the worlds at threat, The Megazord will always protect the earth.

The Megazord swings the megasword, sending King Sphinx flying backwards as he explodes. Rita screams in anguish  as Alpha starts jumping with joy.

Alpha: Well done, Power Rangers!

## Fight

Upon the top of the massive hills, two giant mechanical beings battled above. One spawns a black and grey colour palette and a giant helicopter fan upon his back. This was Blackout. He put up his arm to block the other robots punch, only to be struck in the stomach swiftly by surprise. Said other robot had a red chest and arms with a silver midsection. The red chest had two windows and his blue legs spore wheels. He wore a blue helmet upon his silver head, a steel mask covering his mouth. A emblem on his right arm. This was the leader of the autobots, Optimus Prime. Blackout threw a punch but Optimus quickly caught it, using it as a opportunity to knee his stomach. Blackout fell to his right knee. “ Stand down. Your beaten.” Blackout cackled. “So long as energon runs through my veins, I will fight.” A small blade popped from the front of his wrist, which he aimed to attempt and stab Optimus’s chin. Optimus knocked his arm away before grabbing Blackout by his throat and slamming him into the ground.

Unknown to the transformers fighting, five identical looking humans stood towards the end of the hill. The all dawned shiny metal helmets. The only difference between the five was the colours of their suit. Red, Blue, Black, Pink and Yellow. Jason, Billy, Zack, Kimberly and Trini. It was the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers. And they were all rather confused. “Two monsters?” Kimberly asked “Rita must be trying some new things.” Zack said. “How come they’re fighting each other? Isn’t that part our job?” Billy chimed in. “And both of them are already giant, don’t they need us for that!” Trini said. “Maybe it’s so their fight will generate more damage to everyone around them. Either way, we need dinosaur power now!” The rangers nodded.

“Mastodon!”

A black mechanical mastodon started charging forward.

“Pterodactyl!”

A pink mechanical pterodactyl flew overhead.

I’m

“Triceratops!”

A blue mechanical triceratops followed closely behind the Mastadon.

“Sabre Tooth Tiger!”

A yellow mechanical sabre tooth tiger jumps forward.

“Tyrannosaurus!”

A red mechanical tyrannosaurus rose up.

“Megazord power on!”

The sabretooth tiger’s hind legs folded into its stomach while it layed down on. The triceratops followed suit, folding its tail in to its back as both connected to the tyrannosaurus’s feet. The mastodon’s head connected to its chest, with its legs attaching across the Rex’s shoulder. The legs formed into arms as hands appeared. It stood up, the heads of the sabretooth and the triceratops serving as feet to the legs of the mech. The pterodactyl flew close, it’s head disappeared into its back, turning over to reveal the chest. The T-Rex head disappeared into the chest, revealing a new one while the pterodactyl attached itself to the chest. The new heard dawned glowing red eyes and red horns attached to red metal around a silver metal face. This was The Megazord. It’s appearance catching Optimus’s eye, distracting him from blackouts fist that stuck him off the cliff.

The Megazord approached Blackout, with the small but noticeable size comparison between the two slowly starting to dawn on him. Optimus clutched to his sword, having stabbed it into the mountain to stop his tumble. His ears perked up when A pained scream echoed from above. It sounded like… Blackouts. He turned to his left, watching Blackout tumble down the hill. A large gash across his chest, Energon leaking out, electricity cackling around his body. Optimus watched his body descent until his body exploded. Optimus pulled himself up over the hill. Although this new bot defeated his enemy he stayed weary of The Megazord, pulling out his ion blaster. He couldn’t see any emblem on the bot. Auto bot or deceptivon.

“Who are you?” He asked as he aimed his rifle at the Megazord. “Where do you stand?” The Megazord prepared it’s blade and shield. “ Against evil monster. Whichwe stand against you!” Jason said, not like Optimus could hear him. He could just see the Megazord’s stance. “So be it.”

FIGHT! Z

With only his right hand, Optimus landed shit after shit perfectly. First in the Megazord’s right shin, the left side of it’s torso and then it’s right shin. Optimus charged while still blasting. His aim has thrown off, but to make up for this he upped the amount of shots he fired - which overwhelmed the Megazord. Optimus got close to the zord, the mech trying to bash Optimus only for the leader of the auto bots to leap overhead, nailing shot after shot to the Megazord’s back. “This isn’t good.” Captain obvious Billy said. Optimus pressed the ion blaster against the back of the Megazord’s head. “Surrender. This is your final chance.” Before Optimus could react the Megazord turned back and put up the mammoths shield. In instinct reaction Optimus fired, the shot bouncing off the shield and right at Optimus’s face, knocking him over with a yell of pain. “We need power sword power now!” Right in the middle of the distance between the two, the power sword fell from the sky and implanted itself within it.

The Megazord charged forward to grab the blade, with Optimus landing a perfect shot to the Zord’s shin. This caused the Zord to tumble, but Jason managed to steer it’s fall into a roll grabbing the sword by it’s hilt and slashing forward. This blind slash landed Optimus’s leg causing Prime to roar in pain as he stumbled back. However Optimus didn’t notice the shirt length of land behind him falling backwards and falling down the hill. As he collapsed down the grassy hill, Optimus’s mind flooded with ideas to minimise the damage he suffered. His head and arms folded backwards in to his chest, the legs bending as the wheels moved to the front of his legs that soon morphed in to the cargo holding part of a truck.

Now in his truck mode, Optimus sped forward before shifting to his side perfectly landing on the road. He started to speed away while patching in to his comm’s. “Requesting back up.”

“Can’t you handle blackout on your own, Prime?” Jazz teased. “Blackouts dead. Something else is attacking. Not autobot or decepticon-“

Prime was unable to see the trap the Megazord laid upon him until it was too late. From the mastadon’s titanium trunk, ice was sprayed upon the pavement. Prime tried to break but it was too late. He was sent slipping upon the frost - transforming back in to a auto bot to try and slow himself down, falling to his elbows and knees. He got on to one knee and looked upwards.

Only to see the Megazord rocketing towards feet first. The Megazord’s drop kick connected with Prime face first sending the two falling down to the forest beneath them. The Megazord picked itself up, looking around none of the rangers could see Prime. Assuming he had fallen into a different area of the forest, the Zord picked up its sword while holding its shield. The rangers kept on high alert to make sure they couldn’t be attacked. The rangers were suddenly thrown around within the zord’s cockpit as Prime dug a energy hook deep within the Megazord’s shoulder. Prime then pressed a blade constructed of pure Energon to the zords throat. “This is your final warning. Stand. DOWN!” He boomed towards the Zord. “Newsflash, buddy! We’re the power rangers! And so long as there’s blood in our bodies we’ll keep fighting to keep our home safe!” Jason barked back, not knowing Optimus couldn’t hear him.

The Zord head butted Prime in the jaw, before dropping to its knees and rolling forward. The Megazord soon rose to its leg before charging forward with a massive swing - aiming for Optimus’s neck. Prime ducked as the megasword tswung over head decapitating the trees behind him. Prime charged forward, stabbing the hook in to Megazord’s side, before jabbing the sword straight through the Megazord’s stomach. The Megazord used its elbow to launch Prime backwards. “We’ve sustained major damage, Jason.” Trini analysed. “True…“ The Megazord tore Optimus’s sword out of its stomach.

“But now it’s our turn.” Two swords in hand, The Megazord charged forwards towards the tired and battered leader of the autobots. The Zord swung with a incredibly violent rage, that Prime barley managed to avoid as the tree was cut down to a quarter. The Megazord spun faster hoping to catch Optimus by surprise but only managed to level five more trees as Optimus leaped away. Prime cupped his hands together while the Megazord charged forwards, a blew ball of energy started to grow in his hands. He unleashed it straight onto the Megazord’s face, which caused the mech to stumble back. But suddenly he started to feel pressure. He saw that from the Megazord’s forehead - it unleashed a golden laser that started to push Prime to the ground. The beams struggled against one another, but it the Megazord continued to step forward. The Zord rose it’s knee,striking Prime in the jaw as it swung the megasword downwards.

Prime screeched in pain as his arm hit the floor, sliced from his body. “It’s prime time you bit the dust!” Jason quipped, despite not even knowing Optimus’s name. The rangers made a swinging motion, as the eyes glowed brighter then ever. Holding the blade high in the air - the clouds turned red before unleashing a massive amount of red lightning into the sword. They yelled in confidence, preparing to the Finnish this battle.

Suddenly the rangers vision was clouded as something grabbed the Megazord’s face. The Zord started blindly swinging trying to hit whoever was attacking, not seeing it was Primes disembodied arm gripping the Megazord’s face. Prime rushed forwards with speed, but caution to not be hit during the Megazord’s rampage. Prime grabbed The Megazord by the back of the head, before kicking him in the bag of the leg forcing it on its knees. Primes other arm reattached itself to Prime’s body before forcing the Megazord face first on to the ground. Sill holding onto it, Prime started to drag The Megazord across the ground - leaving paint scraped on the floor. Prime grabbed the Zord by the leg before starting to spin. He released the Megazord, sending it flying and smashing in to the trees.

Prime gripped the Energon sword that the Megazord finally released. From the throw, the rangers had fallen to the floor of the cockpit. Jason slowly rose from the floor, grabbing his head from the pain after being thrown around. Prime stepped closer to the zord. Jason tried to get the the Megazord to stand, but the legs weren’t responding. Backed in to a corner, Jason started firing the laser from the Megazord’s head. Prime jumped to the side, avoiding the blast while rushing forward. “ENOUGH!” He yelled. He grabbed the Megazord by the jaw making it so the laser blasted in to the air. “Time to show you the real power of a prime!” He stabbed the sword into The Megazord’s chest, assuming it would hit the spark. However, the Megazord kept fighting - trying to strike Prime in the face. Prime rose up, and aimed the ion blasted at the Megazord’s head.

With dread and axiety filling his heart, Jason realised he had failed his team. He failed the world. With nothing else he could do, he uttered a crushed “No…” before Optimus fired, exploding the Megazord’s head and incinerating the rangers whole. Prime stepped back. “Im sorry. But you left me no other choice.” He said solemnly before transforming back into a truck, driving off away.

## Conclusion

Julie: Fuck yeah!

Nick: This was a very close match, but in the end - Prime was a clear winner.

Julie: The Megazord was a slightly stronger and held more abilities in combat.

Nick: But prime was faster, had pinpoint accuracy with his weaponry, had more experience over the literal teenagers and was more durable. And he had a incredibly strong trump card with the Matrix that can kill planet eaters such as Unicron. And when The Megazord took a hit from such a powerful foe, they barley survived it.

Julie: It was PRIME time that the Megazord was Mega-Flawed at its Megacore.

Nick: The Winner is Optimus Prime.
