Here's the story of how this came about:
I recently acquired TF: Animated Leader Class Megatron (when I saw it on the shelf I was like a little kid again) and wanted to take some action shots to show it off. Seeing as I love the catchphrase 'Decepticons, transform and rise up', the idea was to have pictures of Megs ordering all of my other TFs to transform and rise up (in the absence of Lugnut and Blitzwing). The idea grew and grew until it turned into a fanfic of sorts, which I am posting here today.
So here is the result of about THREE FULL DAYS of conceptualisation, planning and production! Part action poses, part fanfic, and a heck of a lot of pop-culture references (but still better than a new ep of Family Guy ;) ), ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:
THE NEW MEGATRON ARMY
The story begins with Megatron posing for some action shots, but he quickly realises that something is amiss...

"Decepticons, transform and... hang on a second."

"WHERE ARE MY TROOPS?
It seems I am the only Animated Decepticon in this sector. This could be a problem."

"Nonetheless, I am still a Decepticon warrior! And Decepticon warriors fight to the death for their cause! I will use my abilities as a fighter and a leader to raise a powerful new army!"
And so, Megatron's odyssey commences...

Megatron: Decepticon, transform and RISE UP!
(Blackout says something in Cybertronian)
Megatron: What do you mean your Megatron is better than me? Your Megatron is no more than Agent Smith in a robot suit!
Ironhide: Beep, beep! Get your skidplate out of my face Megs, before I do to your face what Optimus did to Mr Witwickey's yard!
Megatron: Foolish Autobot! You are not capable of harming me! You're so old that when I told you to act your age, your limbs fell off! And they weren't ball and socket joints!
Ironhide: Hahaha! Tough words from a guy whose TV series contains a rip off of Home Alone!
Megatron: Gah, this is getting me nowhere...

Megatron: Commander Cody, transform and... um... turn to the dark side!
Cody: I will never join you! I was created to fight for good!
Megatron: You oblivious dumbslag! Palpatine is a Sith Lord! He didn't create you as a peacekeeper! He created you as an Imperial soldier!
Cody: Lies! All lies! I fight for good, not for evil such as yourself!
Megatron: Bah! How can I make you see the truth? Oh wait... execute order 66?
Cody: Oooh, I suddenly feel so evil...
Megatron: PERFECT!

Megatron: You there! The guy with the coffin! I'm reading a 33% voice match with Blitzwing. Are you also capable of transforming and rising up?
Terminator: Nah, ah am too old fah ukshun stuff, und too busy govah-nating. Why not arsk tha Alien guys?
Megatron: Are you kidding? Requiem sucked! If I align with them I will be the laughing stock of Cybertron!
Alien bleeding from head: Oh sure, blame the victims!
Predator: I told the movie makers we should have spent the first 5 minutes of Requiem killing all those stereotyped emo kids! Bah, Hollywood these days...
Alien hidden behind Megatron: And that Predalien sucked! True story: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Setzer came to the studio one day to make coffee. THEY pitched it! And the producers thought it was a good idea!
Wingblade: Oi Megs, get outta here before I start shootin'!
Megatron: I don't think so, foolish Autobot. Cody has already relinquished you of your Allspark key!
Wingblade: Nooooo! I'm powerless!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a380/Mr_M_/Random%20Stuff/Story7.jpg
Cody: All hail the great Megatron!
Megatron: Listen to me, Predacon! I noticed your army consists largely of flying beasts, and I need an army capable of transforming and rising up. Therefore, I am challenging you for leadership!
BW Megs: You're challenging ME? HAHAHAHAHA! When I'm done dismantling you, I'm going to use your individual components as bath toys! YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a380/Mr_M_/Random%20Stuff/Story8.jpg
Megatron: I have defeated you, you worthless Predacon! Yield, and surrender control of your army to me!
BW Megs: Megatrons do not yield, THEY CONQUER! Go ahead! Do your worst! I will never surrender to you!
Megatron: Very well! I will now recite 10 years worth of lame G1 criticism directed at you and your show! Megatron talks like Frasier! Beast modes are sacrilege! GUNNN NOT TEEEEREXXXXX...
BW Megs: ARRRRGHHH! STOP! PLEASE!
Megatron: Surrender your forces, or Cody will start reciting scenes from Outrageous Fortune! Really bad ones, from Season 3, when it looked like the show had jumped the shark for good!
Cody: I also know the Chrustmas Spi-shul back to front.
BW Megs: The Christmas Special? NOOOOOO! Okay, okay! I surrender! You win! My army is yours!
Megatron: EXCELLENT!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a380/Mr_M_/Random%20Stuff/Story9.jpg
Dinobot: Oh great and mighty Megatron, I pledge my allegiance to you and your army. And I mean it this time, not like in 'Maximal, No More' where I switched sides for one episode before switching back!
Megatron: I am intrigued, but curious. Didn't you switch to the Maximals because you thought the Predacons had no honour?
Dinobot: No no, it was Megatron who was without honour! But now that you've deposed that deadslag, I am willing to rejoin the Predacons, for any sacrifice is worth it to serve a leader as wise, powerful, courageous, honourable, and eloquent as yourself!
Megatron: Why, I've never seen such loyalty from a singler trooper before! I shall name you... Starscream junior! And Cody, since you talk with such a distorted, incomprehensible accent, I shall name thee Soundwave junior!
Cody: Choice bro!
And with that, Megatron's quest has come to an end. After a long and sometimes painful journey, he has recruited a powerful new army to carry out his evil bidding, and found a piece of the Allspark in the process! I guess there's only one thing left to say...
