User blog:Bzero/Megatron - Controlling the Narrative

Megatron appears in a video broadcast across all Terran airwaves. The Decepticon leader sits on the throne of his castle in Helex, with a smile on his face that doesn’t quite reach his optics. He gestures with the arm carrying his fusion cannon, and says grandly, “People of Earth, I grant you a boon. In my infinite mercy, I have decided to spare your miserable lives – if, and only if, you end your support of the cursed Autobots and reject them from your planet.” Megatron leans forward slightly on his throne. “I have dealt a crippling blow to their base on Earth – they are weakened, unable to defend you. If you continue to ally yourselves with them, you will be destroyed. If they continue to selfishly make their home on your world, you will be destroyed. Your fate is up to you, and them. Rise up against your supposed protectors, and join the Decepticon Empire – as loyal subjects, not slaves, not fodder. You have one chance to save yourselves, people of Earth. I suggest you take it.” With a gesture of his cannon arm, Megatron ends the transmission.
