(Begin with Garry as #OptimusPrimal)
’Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through their flat,
Not a #Maximal stirred,
not even the #rat;

Our weapons were hung
in the armory with care,
In hopes that the #Preds
would not soon be there;

My Maximals were nestled
all snug in their beds,
While visions of #Cybertron
ran through their heads.;

When out on the perimeter
there arose such a clatter!
I sprang from my chair
to see what was the matter!

Away to the scanners
I flew in a flash.
I stared at the screen,
I heard a big crash;

When, to my surprise
I saw walking with pride,
The big, purple #dinosaur
with Preds by his side;

Seeing his silhouette
it was just before dawn,
I knew there and then
that it was #Megatron;

The Preds’ shots were many,
and onward they came,
I alerted my crew,
I bellowed their names;

”Now, #Rhinox! Now, #Rattrap!
#Dinobot and #Cheetor!
Come in, #Tigatron.
The #Predacons are here!”

”We’re all gonna die!
We’re under attack!”
”Shut up, Rattrap.
Stop talking back.”

And for all the gun blasts
and lasers so bright,
The ship wasn’t damaged
on this clear, #Winter’s night.

“#Prime jets, on!”
I said as I flew,
Armed with my cannons,
#Airazor came too;

And I heard from above
a noise that was huge,
The stomping and clawing
of each Predacon stooge;

When Megatron’s optics settled on mine,
He grinned, took aim, and I said, “That’s just PRIME!”

Covered in scales, 
from his head to his feet,
Behind him his troops,
we were destined to meet;

Then Rhinox said,

(Richard Newman as Rhinox)
“Wait!”
I came to Optimus’ aid,
“Down to their sides
their weapons they laid”;

And looking at Megatron
I was startled to see,
Not anger this time,
instead I saw glee;

“I can see his scowl
turned upside down.
And the look on his
face has caused me to frown”;

(Back to Garry as Primal)
Rhinox was right,
there was a smile on his face,
Megatron came to bring
peace to this place;

His face was thoughtful
and lacking in guile,
Which was quite strange
without his smug smile;

With a playful wink
and a nod of his head,
It was plain to see
we had nothing to dread;

He gave me a gift
and his hand to shake,
But I took it with caution,
so there was no mistake.

Not a trick and not a bomb,
Just a bunch of #bananas and some #energon;

He leapt to the ground,
to his team gave a shout,
They turned to their #leader
and followed him out.

But before they fled,
I heard Megatron say,

(Garry’s #DavidKaye Megatron impression)
“Good tidings and blessings on this #ChristmasDay. #Yesssss.”

(Back to Garry as Primal)
And just like that,
they were all gone.
Is there such a thing
as a peaceful Predacon?

So, even those who instill
others with fear,
Still can show kindness
on one day of the year;

With all of our troubles
clear out of sight,

(Garry & Richard)
“#Merry #Christmas to all,
and to all a good night.”
