Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

In an unspecified reality, Killswitch abandoned the Cybertron-Destron war to indulge in experimentation. His ultimate achievement was crafting theHorologiumdwarf galaxy into one massive computer, a plausiblity matrix which could calculate every permutation of every particle in theMilky Waygalaxy from the beginning to the end of time. He established a base on thecyberformedplanetExistimus,orbiting a singularity at the center of the galaxy. Killswitch also set upTerrorcondrones to patrol interstellar space in the Horologium galaxy and the surface of Existimus; he hoped that some enlightened being(s) would learn of his magnificent accomplishment after overcoming such obstacles.

One day, the wandering CybertronWallbreakerhappened upon the Horologium galaxy and determined to investigate the miraculous achievement. Blacking out after fighting through the Terrorcon drones to Existimus, Killswitch found Wallbreaker and welcomed him into his banquet room. When Wallbreaker came to, Killswitch explained who he was and what the plausibility matrix was. Wallbreaker would have congratulated Killswitch on this monumental achievement, but Killswitch proceeded to explain that he could and would use the plausibility matrix to cancel out the existence of anyalternate realityhe did not like. Alarmed, Wallbreaker objected to the intent to commit such mass murder. This broke Killswitch's calm veneer; Killswitch was disappointed that a Cybertronian of all beings would still deem him to be mad. A battle ensued on Existimus, spanning the entire planet.Vector Primedid not know the outcome of the battle, but he had confidence that Wallbreaker succeeded in stopping Killswitch as the multiverse continued to exist.Ask Vector Prime, 6/11/2015

Notes

• Killswitch'scontinuity familyof origin is difficult to determine. His universe's Wallbreaker being a Godmaster in theMasterforce conflictwould indicate that they are from theGeneration 1 continuity family,but Killswitch's Terrorcons are allUnicron TrilogyTerrorcons, not Generation 1Terrorcons.Further, the Japanese faction names "Cybertron" and "Destron" were used in both theGeneration 1 cartoon continuityand in the Unicron Trilogy. If asked about Killswitch's universe of origin,Vector Primewould probably question the necessity of such labeling, emphasizing the merits of a story over its categorization.
