'''Team Prime wages war against the Decepticon citadel.'''

==Synopsis==
As the [[Autobot]]s prepare for battle, [[William Fowler|Fowler]] points out that the military has the weapons necessary to take down the fortress, but can't attack while [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]]'s [[fusion cannon]]s are pointed at major cities. [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] resolves to disable the cannons. As Darkmount has [[GroundBridge]] jamming capabilities, they will have to attack in a more roundabout way.

In an underground cavern, [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] expresses his doubt that he's ready to be a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], but [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] points out that the decision will be made by the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

[[Jack Darby|Jack]] uses his cellphone at a gas station, and his signal is promptly picked up by the [[Decepticon]]s. [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] dispatches his seekers to investigate, but [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] GroundBridges Jack back to the ''[[Harbinger]]'' before they can reach him. [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] likewise calls for pizza from a [[New York City|New York]] alley to lure Decepticons there. Ratchet has Jack make a fake transmission from an [[Energon]] Mine, forcing Starscream to send [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s to check the location. With the Decepticon forces thus scattered, the Autobots bridge to the fortress while Fowler stands ready at a nearby air base with a squadron of jets.

[[File:Rebellion-UltraMagnus.jpg|left|thumb|300px|They've deduced our strategy, such as it was.]]

As the report comes in that the Energon Mine is safe and not under attack, [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] demands to know why the Decepticons have been spread so thin. [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] solves the mystery of where the Autobots are by pointing out the existence of the ''Harbinger'', however before Starscream can dispatch his armada to attack it, Darkmount itself comes under attack. Down below, [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] toss grenades at the base of the fortress and use their new weapons to stave off the [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s that attack them. Meanwhile [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] take a more subtle route.

[[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] humbly suggests releasing the Predacon to repel the attackers. The beast enters the fray, but is quickly distracted by Ultra Magnus's ship. As it attempts to chase Magnus, Ratchet opens a GroundBridge, sending the creature to the Arctic, where it quickly freezes. Shockwave leaves the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' and starts jumping down the side of the fortress.

The dying Optimus begins to have a vision of the [[Allspark]] and [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]]. Though Prime worries about the fate of the Matrix, his old teacher assures him it will pick a new leader.

Arcee reports to Magnus that she and Bumblebee have run into some trouble and are pinned down. Ultra Magnus decides to take matters into his own hands, entering the fortress and attacking the fusion cannon control room directly. He swiftly takes care of the Decepticons at the controls, only for Megatron himself to arrive. Meanwhile Shockwave reaches the bottom of the tower and incapacitates Bulkhead and Wheeljack with a single cannon blast, and Arcee and Bumblebee are surrounded by Decepticon troops. Ultra Magnus fights well against Megatron, but ultimately loses and is dragged up to the throne room.

Alpha Trion invites Optimus to join with the Allspark. In the cavern, the light in Optimus's eyes goes out and his chest opens to reveal the Matrix. Smokescreen has other ideas, and drags the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] over in order to place it in Optimus's hand. A surge of energy fills the hammer.

[[File:Rebellion-prepunch.jpg|right|thumb|300px|My turn.]]

As Ultra Magnus won't tell Megatron anything, the Decepticon leader orders the prisoners executed and the fusion cannons fired, however Starscream points out there's something incoming. In the ''Harbinger'', Ratchet also detects the inbound object, and it has an Autobot signature. It reaches visual range of the Decepticons, revealing itself to be Optimus himself, in a new upgraded form. Landing in the throne room, Optimus deals Megatron a series of blows before throwing the Decepticon leader crashing into the throne. Once the other Decepticons have been dealt with, Magnus briefs Optimus, who sets out to destroy the fusion cannons. The Autobots at the base of the tower, on hearing the news, overthrow their captors.

Enraged, Megatron takes to the air and attempts to shoot down Prime. The news that there are incoming human forces has Starscream order the fusion cannons to fire, but while they're still powering up, Optimus Prime punches Megatron and tosses the Decepticon leader directly into the fusion cannon power core, disabling the cannons. The Autobots make a hasty withdrawal as Fowler's squadron unleashes missiles on Darkmount. The Decepticons likewise retreat to their warship. Smokescreen drives up the highway in time to see the fortress come crashing to the ground.

Later, at a military base, Fowler gives the Autobots a speech of thanks. The Autobots note that the Forge's power has been completely drained, but Ratchet assures Smokescreen he made the right choice.

==Quotes==
"Looks like we'll have to sneak past enemy lines, Wrecker style." 
"I couldn't deal with 'Wrecker style' back on Cybertron, and I refuse to deal with it here."
:—'''Wheeljack''' wants to go Wrecker style, but '''Ultra Magnus''' can't deal with that right now.

"No. The story's not supposed to end like this."
:—'''Smokescreen''' giving a middle finger to the tried and true leadership inheritance patterns.

"Megatron, be gone!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' gives Megatron a reminder of a past beating.

"Soundwave, I require a GroundBridge."
:—Good timing, '''Soundwave'''.

"Awww, I missed it!"
:—Bad timing, '''Smokescreen'''.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
* Wheeljack doesn't have a grenade on his hip when he and Bulkhead engage the Seekers, but it appears there immediately after he uses his energy whip to destroy a few of them.

===Continuity notes===
* The Autobots dispose of Predaking in the same manner as they did the [[Scraplet]]s in "[[Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap]]".
* The Forge of Solus Prime was established to be low on energy in "[[Prey]]". Optimus was apparently understating just how low, though, since his upgrade drains it completely.
* Optimus repeats the line "Megatron begone" from "[[Orion Pax, Part 3]]", in much the same context.

===Transformers references===
* Optimus Prime gets a jetpack, much like his [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|film]] and ''[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Animated]]'' counterparts.
*Ultra Magnus [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|could not deal with the Wreckers on Cybertron, and he will not deal with them on Earth]].

===Real-world references===

===Trivia===
* This episode has a different map of the United States, this time with Louisiana in the right place.

Kagimizu: /* Continuity Error? */ new section

==Byline==
"Megatron comes up with a complex plan and once it's put together, Optimus is placed in a position where he is forced to make a risky decision that, if not carefully considered, could have an inescapable effect on the entire Autobot team."

:...can we reword this as something like "Megatron enacts a scheme that forces Optimus to make a decision which could endanger his team"? As it is now...I'm not sure how to define it, but it just doesn't work.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 14:13, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
::It might be easier to rephrase once the episode airs (the blurbs we get via TV listings often turn out to be oddly focused). --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:57, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

While should be White for the Vehicon color.

The tv blurb is actually as ridiculous: "Megatron sets a plan in motion forcing Optimus to make a decision that has a devastating effect on the entire Autobot team." I say we just leave it.

== Independence Day ==

I think this is kind of reaching.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:25, 3 November 2012 (EDT)
: Yes. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:38, 3 November 2012 (EDT)
::I thought it looked more like the Project Damocles satellite, but I wasn't sure if the resemblance was close enough for it to be worth noting. [[User:One|One]] 16:47, 3 November 2012 (EDT)

== Continuity Error? ==

How is it a continuity error that Megatron knew exactly where to find the base? They've been looking for it for some time now, and they were able to find all three of the humans. Given it has a big metallic hole in it, I can imagine that once they find the general area it was easy enough to locate it.--[[User:Kagimizu|Kagimizu]] 17:20, 3 November 2012 (EDT)

Afterburn

Kagimizu: /* Notes */

{{faction|autobot|eliteguard|decepticon}}
:''Afterburn is an awesome dude working for the [[Autobot]]s from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Afterburn ish1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"What a guy!"]]
A ward of the [[Elite Guard]] and a Special Ops man, '''Afterburn''' is a highly skilled and highly confident soldier with a sleek off-road car form. A born leader, a quick thinker, a nice guy and capable of laying the smackdown with his agility and fireblasts, he's got a PhD in Being Handsome And Wonderful.

He's so handsome, in fact, that Sari, a human child, declared him [[Transformer romance|"dreamy"]]. That's somewhat creepy.

==Fiction==
===Titan Magazines===

At the Academy, he was nicknamed "Squeak-Clean Afterburn" (no, really) because he was so fantastic he is always clean and shiny. He came top in his class in Anti-Virus Diagnosis ''and'' Nano-Virus class. {{storylink|Animated Comic issue 2|Ratchet & Grimlock Are DEAD?}} He went on to join the Elite Guard and was eventually dispatched to Earth by [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] to join [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime's]] team; Magnus intended for Afterburn to learn skills and knowledge from them, so that their successes could be replicated on other worlds.

He arrived in the middle of a battle between the Autobots and fashion disaster [[Quake-Maker]]. He saved Optimus, won Sari's heart and Bumblebee's admiration, quickly took control of the Autobots, and just as quickly worked out and exploited Quake-Maker's weakness. Because he rules. (Optimus got ignored on the sidelines and got a rock in the face.)

[[Image:Afterburn_GOOOOOMPH.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"Smoke me a kipper... I'll be back forrr—"]]

Everyone loved him and everyone in the Autobase rapidly became his best bud! {{storylink|Animated Comic issue 1|Burnout}}

He was part of a mission to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] when [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] and [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]] went berserk, due to his virus knowledge. He effortlessly took control of the mission and came up with the strategy that won the day; he identified the Rage virus and how to neutralise it; and he even put up with [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] faking his death without being annoyed! What an awesome dude! (Bumblebee got made to look bad and was deliberately put down several times, and had big sad puppy-dog eyes.) {{storylink|Animated Comic issue 2|Ratchet & Grimlock Are DEAD?}}

Later, he attended a basketball game with [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] and Sari, until he picked up a police alert of major traffic chaos—leading to a battle with the villain [[Crossroads]], who had taken control of Detroit's robots! Rather kindly, Afterburn let Prowl save the day while he relaxed by providing covering fire. Afterwards, he leaned on a wall and smirked slightly while warning everyone that Decepticons were cunning and could strike at any time. What a nice guy he is to remind us of this, and it totally didn't look dodgy! {{storylink|Animated Comic issue 3|Crossroads!}}

After a failure to acquire enough information, it turned out that astonishingly, he wasn't the charmball we thought—he was actually a spy sent by [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]! ''The cake is a lie!'' We didn't see that one coming... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Divebomb!}}

But then it turned out that not only was the cake a lie, but everything else was too—in actual fact, Afterburn was a [[Spark]]less [[Drone|drone]], built by Megatron as a prototype and sent off to be a spy. He wasn't even 'real'. Afterburn's job failed, Megatron then ''murdered him'' and taunted Bumblebee over it. Bumblebee lamented the [[death]] of a sparkless spy, while Optimus told him to get over it. They've both got points, if you think about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Megatron's Revenge}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
* Originally, Afterburn was going to be the ''Animated'' version of [[Sideswipe (Animated)|Sideswipe]]. However, when Titan released a preview image of the character, the online response to this [[Iron Man|Iron-Man]]-crossed-with-a-duck-monster-thing was so overwhelmingly negative that the preview was soon pulled.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/animated-8/titan-uk-transformers-animated-comic-original-character-sideswipe-in-color-165967/ Reaction to ''Animated'' "Sideswipe" thread at TFW2005.com]</ref>
* When the comic was released two weeks later, Sideswipe had ever-so-conspicuously become "Afterburn". This may be due to the fan reaction. Considering his story arc and that the cartoon couldn't even have [[Cliffjumper (Animated)|a Cliffjumper]] be ''framed'' as a baddie, it's possible Hasbro said "no".
* Afterburn's [[Autobrand]] can broadcast fake hologram messages, making the Autobots believe [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] vouched for him.
* So if he never was on Cybertron and never studied Anti-Virus classes, how ''did'' he stop that Rage Virus...?
* He was in "Special Ops" work, so that's why no one's ever heard of him. Including [[Derrick J. Wyatt]].<ref>[https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21975298&postID=1347621366776933520 Derrick Wyatt blog response—"I wasn't involved at all. I hadn't seen it, or even heard they were doing it until it showed up on all the fan sites in the past few days."]</ref>
* If he's "dreamy", then Sari has a ''bad'' taste in 'Bots.
* His behavior, abilities, and overall role in the story ''totally'' isn't a jab at mary-sue characters among the [[Fandom|fandom]]: Afterburn is just ''that'' good.
