Authors Note: This is a musical to “Code of a Hero.” The idea just popped into my head while doodling in World History. All the characters sing instead of speak. Dinobot fans, don’t take offense, I love Dinobot as much as you do. Enjoy this silly musical.

I do NOT own Dinobot, Ratrap, Megs, or any of the fantabulous Beast Warriors. Nor do I claim ownership of any of the songs used in this Fanfic.

 

Dinobot’s Musical

 

 

(Dinobot walks down corridor of the Axalon, hanging his head and dragging his feet. He looks at his reflection in a polished piece of metal.)

Dinobot:

Forgive me, What I’ve done!

I’ll face myself,

(Dinobot stares at himself in the mirror)

To cross out what I’ve become!

(He shatters the mirror with a clenched fist)

Erase myself,

and let go of what I’ve done!

So let Mercy come

And wash away,

WHAT I’VE DONE!

(Ratrap who was loitering nearby, overhears Dinobot, and comes out, face to face with him)

Ratrap:

It’s too late to apologize!

(Ratrap shoves Dinobot)

It’s too late!

(Rhinox appears out of no where)

Rhinox:

Hey, Hey!

Ratrap:

Whoa-whoa, Yeah!

It’s too late to apologize!

It’s too late!

(Ratrap and Rhinox look at Dinobot with disgust then turn away from Dinobot, leaving him alone.)

(Dinobot looks miserably after his comrades, then exit’s the Axalon)

Dinobot:

When all you got to keep is strong,
(Dinobot walks away from the Axalon)

Move along, move along like I have to do,
And even when my hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along

(Dinobot runs off to find Megatron)

(We cut to Megatron, who is with Rampage. Since regular talking is banned in this fanfic, Megs gestures from Rampage’s guns to a mountain, while brandishing the golden disc. Rampage, shrugs, pretending not to understand to irritate Megatron. Megs hopes around, trying to mime shooting the mountain. Rampage looks at Megatron with a ‘have-you-lost-all-your-marbles?’ expression on his face. Megatron looks outraged and takes out Rampage’s sparkbox and squeezes it really, really hard. Rampage yelps with pain, then reluctantly fires on the mountain.)

(Megatron realizes the future isn’t set, and begins dancing on the spot)

Megatron:

I’ve got the power!

I’ve got the power!

Whoa-ho yea-yeah!

(Rampage covers his audios and kicks Megatron in the shins. Megatron, half-furious at being interrupted and half-sheepish that Rampage thought his singing was that bad, squeezes Rampage’s sparkbox again. Rampage yells in pain, then the two scuttle off.)

(Megs feels like someone is following them)

Megatron:

I always feel like
Somebody's watching me!

(Megs looks around various rocks and bushes)
And I have no privacy!

(Megs covers his chest plate with his arms)
I always feel like
Somebody's watching me.
Tell me is it just a dream.

(Megatron looks up and sees Cheetor. He taps Rampage, who was absent-mindedly humming something that sounded a lot like Don’t Cha, and pointed toward the flying cat. Rampage grins wickedly and aims at Cheetor.)

Cheetor:

Well, I'm not paralyzed,

(Cheetor gets hit by a missile)
But I seem to be struck by you

(Cheetor flies off, wing smoking. After a short cycle, he spots Dinobot who having a stare down with a piece of blue thread. Cheetor lands and tries to mime Megatron and Rampage walking. Dinobot just stares at Cheetor who looks like a chicken with a really bad-hangover. Cheetor gives up miming, and writes in the dirt, Megatron and Rampage heading northwest! Dinobot nods and sprints northwest.)

(Back to Megs. He somehow stumbled into Waspinator, Quickstrike, Inferno, and Blackarachnia, who were playing Duck-Duck-GOOSE, by a valley. Megatron stands in front of the Preds and prepares to sing)

Megatron:

Be prepare for a chance of a lifetime!
Be prepared for sensational news!
A shining new era,
Is tiptoeing nearer.

Blackarachnia:

And where do we feature?

Megatron:

Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!

All Preds:

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared - Be prepared!

(Megatron is pleased that his troops are riled and mimes shooting into the valley. All the Predacons look at each other with ‘our-leader-has-definitely-lost-his-marbles’ expressions. Megs, terribly embarrassed by his attempts at charades, ventures to talk)

“My dear Predacons,” He said very quickly, through gritted teeth and glaring optics, “we must destroy EVERYTHING in this valley!”

(The author, furious her rules are being ignored has a giant ice cream truck fall from the sky, pinning Megs to the ground. She then makes sure Dinobot gets to the valley in time, and renders Tarantulas as a taxicab. Just for kicks, the author sends another boulder to smush Tarantulas.)

“The Royalty’s orders must be followed! BUUUURN!” Inferno screeches and hops into the valley.

(Author is getting really, really peeved that the Predacons are ignoring her so she sends Dinobot in and has him cut Inferno open like a knife cuts butter.)

“Fool,” growls Dinobot.

(The author frowns, Dinobot may be her favoritest character, but rules were rules…)

(Blackarachnia, suddenly turns and pelts Dinobot with red-hot bullets. Dinobot, being a quick-thinking and resourceful robot, uses Inferno’s lifeless body as a shield, and he gun to shoot Blackarachnia into stasis lock.)

(Author is very impressed with this display of wits, and reminds Dinobot that he has a rotating chopper blade. With help of temporary gravity-defiance, Dinobot hovers over Waspinator and Rampage, shooting them both.)

“Wazzzpinator doesn’t like raptor-bot!” Waspy cries out, shooting Dinobot out of the sky.

(The author is furious. Four transformers have been blatantly ignoring the crystal-clear rule of no-talking-just-singing. For punishment, the author makes Dinobot land on Waspy and shove him up Rampage’s cannon. The resulting explosion left the two Preds blackened and stasis locked, and the Maximal flying.)

(Author make an executive decision to have some music in the background.)

Anonymous Voice:

When they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to go through you first.

(Quickstrike advances toward Dinobot)
I bet they won't be expecting that.
(The Fuzor hits Dinobot. Hard)

When they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to deal with you first
My money says they won't know about the thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes.
(Dinobot shoots Quickstrike backwards)

Invincible oh, oh, oh.
You're invincible.
(Dinobot thrashes Quickstrike with his bare hands)

That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing...
It's invincible.

(Dinobot, badly damaged, prowls around, searching for Megatron)

(Megs finally wriggled his way from out beneath the gigantic ice cream truck. He sees that all his Predacons are defeated, and Dinobot is there, alone. Roaring in complete frustration, Megs jumps down into the valley. He stops in front of Dinobot)

“You are stopping my conquest!

You will not stop my success!

I have the Golden Disc, you fly!

Now, you will die!

Goodbye!” Megatron sang, inventing his own song.

(Author looks mildly amused, and rifles through her papers. On it said: Rule #13- All songs sung must be known to the public. NO MADE UP DITTIES! The author smiles. She notifies the Maximals who were playing leap-frog, though upon hearing her news, they sprint to help Dinobot. Satisfied, the author returns her attention to the face-off between Dinobot and Megatron. Dinobot is weaponless, so she makes a broad, stout stick appear beside him.)

(Dinobot hits Megatron with his new weapon. Megatron laughs and swats Dinobot to the ground. Dinobot slams a sharp rock into the stick. With his improvised hammer, Dinobot smashes into Megatron.)

(Author steps in and unlatches Megatron’s secret pocket and the Golden Disc falls out.)

(Dinobot grabs the Disc and with the last of his strength, blasts the Golden Disc into and oblivion. He collapse.)

(Author is distressed. She had wanted the Maximals to arrive in time to help Dinobot, but she couldn’t tamper with time, to dangerous. She teleported the Maximals into the valley. Optimus Primal drives away Megatron. Ratrap grips Dinobot’s hand, while the warrior gasps for breath. Dinobot turns to face Ratrap.)

Dinobot :

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What I could've done
And not saying ‘Sorry, I wasn‘t open to you,”
Is what I was trying to do

(Ratrap smiles sadly)

Ratrap:

It's hard ta deal with da pain of losin' you every where I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force dat smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder
Gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret, but I know
If I could do it over
I would trade, give away, show da words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken

What hurts da most
Is being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you fade away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not sayin’ “You’re my friend too,”
Is what I was tryin' to do

(Dinobot smiles weakly, then his head slumped, and his optics faded. A dazzling spark rose from Dinobot’s lifeless body and soared into the heavens. Ratrap began to cry quietly into Dinobot’s hand which was still clenched around his own.)

Ratrap:

Forget, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure dat I could
Dey say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through wid down
Dere’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’m still paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to stand down
I’m still mad as hell
That you left me, just when our friendship was found

It’s too late to make it right
I’m not sure if I would,
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to accept that you’re gone for good

I know people said,
“Can’t you just get over it?”
It turned my whole world around
And I hate it...

Dinobot, can’t you come back?

I’ll tell your story though it’s super sad,

Good deeds along with the bad,

Rest in peace, my good comrade…

 

(Author sneaks behind Optimus Primal, and taps him on the shoulder. He turns to face a teenaged girl with messy brown hair)

“You can talk now,” she whispered to him, then faded into a silvery mist.

“He lived a warrior, and died a hero,” Optimus said gravely. “Let his spark join the Matrix, with the greatest of Cybertron.”
