Assassination of Crafteegee

Shortly after giving one of his speeches, a Cytron nationalist disguised as a Centinid shot five blaster bolts against Crafteegee, two which hit him in the head. The Cytron was contained and executed and a Medbot tried to heal Crafteegee, but he was wounded badly and had no hope for salvation, dying at that same day.

Aftermath
Crafteegee's death led to an enormous outrage in the whole Centinid society and convinced them the Cytrons were a threat that had to be exterminated. Since his death, Centinid Charles took his place as the new ruler of the Centinid Republic. His first action was to declare war against the Cytrons, resulting in the War of the Centinids.

Magna Weegeepede, along with many other Centinid intelectuals, supported the war against Cytrons, claiming they are a race of "weapons programmed to kill and don't deserve to carry the same circuits as the Centinids".
