The Greatest Defeat

Ultra Magnus has to date been a leader who's prowess was only second to that on Optimus Prime. In all his years he had never seen such a magnificent opportunity to en this accursed war once and for all. He had sent his spies out to try and determine the reason behind some recent Decepticon activity. This action gave him more information than he could have ever asked for. His spies found out that the Decepticons had found a new way to transport supplies between their main base and their front line. They had created a warp gate that gave them the ability of free travel between any two portals. Ultra Magnus new he could exploit this new information to his advantage. He figured if he took a big enough army with him he could lead a strike right into the heart of the Decepticon base. So after weeks of planning he had come together with enough men and a plan that took almost everything into account that could possibly happen. So he led his army to the portal, sending in a few tactical fighters to take out the guards around the portal. After taking control of the portal he started preparing his men to go and defeat the Decepticons. They entered the portal and found themselves in the very center of Decepticon base surrounded by thousands of enemy soldiers. It was a long hard fought battle by both sides. Half way through the battle things started going downhill for the Autobots. They were taking heavy losses and the Decepticons just seemed endless as they continuously swarmed the Autobots. Ultra Magnus needed a miracle if he wanted to get himself and the rest of his men out alive. Then a miracle happened as Metroplex the largest Autobot came though the portal and started taking down Decepticons left and right. Ultra Magnus called his men to retreat back through the portal then destroy it completely. After every last man was through Metroplex and Ultra Magnus went through the portal and destroyed so that it could never be used again. This day was the greatest defeat Ultra Magnus had ever witnesses in his time as a leader of the Autobots. He felt he had failed his men and his cause. He left the Autobots and went into self induced solitary. He wasn't heard from again until he returned one day many years later. He came back to great joy and cheers of his old comrades. He had gone into seclusion to meditate and learn from his mistake. HE had turned himself into the best leader there ever was or ever would be. This is the story of Ultra Magnus.
