The Nemesis lurched as the hail of fire from the Ark slammed into it. Massive die-cast rockets crunched into the hull of the Nemesis, shattering armor plating and diving deep into the ship. Cannon fire raked across its prow, rocking the ship like a drunken fighter.
"Maintain course!" bellowed Megatron. Thundercracker and Skywarp complied as best they could. "Extend boarding clamps, Scorponok! All other Decepticons, to me! For glory and victory! Decepticons forever!" Megatron stood, followed by Barricade, Soundwave and Skywarp. They all lurched forward, slamming into the bulkhead as the Nemesis finally made contact with the Ark.
Enormous steel tubes, like some form of piston, shot out from the Nemesis into the hull of the Ark. They were not elegant tools but then again no elegance was necessary as they pounded through the hull of the Ark, smashing through feet of armor plating like enormous sledgehammers. In the span of a moment, the Decepticons had their chance. Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons, barring Thundercracker and Scorponok, stood at the entrance to their boarding tunnel. Megatron held up his left hand, and it swiftly morphed into an enormous plasma cannon. With fury in his optics, he roared "Decepticons, ATTACK!" and leapt into the hole, landing feet first on the deck of the Ark.
