'''Autobots, Decepticons, and Predacons form an unlikely alliance to battle a resurrected Unicron.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] has been restored, and [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] gives a speech honoring those not still with them who helped make it possible. However even as he does so, back on [[Earth]] at the bottom of the ocean, [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] is awoken by [[Unicron]]. Megatron is confused as to why his [[spark]] is not one with the [[AllSpark]], but Unicron explains that Megatron's [[Dark Energon]] use has made that impossible. Requiring a new vessel with which to carry out his plans, Unicron reformats Megatron's body into a more powerful form, takes possession of it and heads into the sky. Meanwhile, Optimus holds a short ceremony to promote [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] to warrior, before announcing that he and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] are going to retrieve the physical AllSpark from where it was hidden during the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]].

[[File:PredaconsRisingBumblebeeisaWarrior.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Bumblebee Rising]]
Streaking through space, Megatron believes Unicron intends to become ruler of Cybertron, but Unicron reveals that he instead intends to destroy Primus, which will spell the end for that planet, and soon all of the universe.

As [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] finds construction with [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] a troublesome task, [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] reports they've had no luck finding [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], incarcerated on the [[Trypticon (WFC)|warship]], attempts to persuade the Bumblebee he's on their side by providing him with information on where they might locate the fugitive Decepticons. [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] patrol the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], now restored to a city, and run into an unpleasant surprise—the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacons]] [[Darksteel (Prime)|Darksteel]] and [[Skylynx]]. The two Autobots are no match for the new clones, and Magnus is severely injured before Smokescreen manages to use the [[phase shifter]] to make their escape. [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] is called to Cybertron to tend to Magnus, while the other Autobots try to decide on their next step.

[[File:PredaconsRisingSkylynxandDarksteelDragons.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|So, uh, when do we start rising?]]

Across space, Optimus and Wheeljack track the AllSpark to [[Theta Scorpii]]. Not wanting to risk losing [[Ultra Magnus's ship]] in the hazardous conditions there, Optimus continues on alone.

Utilizing Bumblebee's tracking skills, the Autobots find [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]], who has located a Predacon burial ground uncovered by the restoration of Cybertron. Bumblebee attempts to persuade Predaking that there can be a truce, but Predaking refuses to forget the Autobots' role in the destruction of his brethren. The Autobots instead head for Megatron's old fortress of [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], which Knock Out has informed them may contain a map showing the location of Shockwave's laboratories.

Shockwave's current lab is in the ruins of [[Six Lasers Over Cybertron]]. Starscream arrives with another recovered Predacon bone, shortly before Darksteel and Skylynx return, laughing about their recent scrap. Starscream is furious to learn they've wandered off and revealed themselves to the Autobots, ruining their one major advantage, the element of surprise.

Over at Theta Scorpii, Optimus finally sights the AllSpark's container, but there's also an incoming [[plasma storm]], and he has to rush to retrieve their target before it can close in.

As the Autobots are checking out the Darkmount computer, they're interrupted by the arrival of Unicron, who makes it aggressively clear to both Autobot and Megatron alike who's in control of the Decepticon leader's form. The Autobots are no match for the dark god, so they attempt to scram. They're brought to a halt by a [[Smelting pool|smelting pit]], and a blast from Unicron leaves Bulkhead, Arcee and Smokescreen dangling over certain doom. Bumblebee manages to keep Unicron occupied long enough for Ratchet to provide a means of escape via [[GroundBridge]].

Meanwhile, Optimus has retrieved the AllSpark and made it back to the ship mere seconds before the plasma storm, and the Autobots book it out of there, though an asteroid thrown by the chaos collides with the ship. Back on the warship, Bumblebee attempts to contact Optimus, but the damage Magnus's ship sustained means though his message gets through, Optimus can't respond. The Autobots quickly realize that Unicron's plan is to destroy their home planet.

[[File:PredaconsRisingMegatronandUnicron.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Can I borrow the car after this?]]
Acting on information from Bumblebee, Predaking finds evidence of Darksteel and Skylynx. He creates a signal in the form of a column of fire to attract the pair to his position, however the first to respond to it is Unicron. Megatron tricks Unicron into fighting the Predacon in the hopes that if their shared body is mangled enough, it will be of no further use to Unicron and Megatron will be freed, however Unicron manages to defeat Predaking and, probing the Predacon's mind, learns of the burial ground.

The burial ground has also been found by Starscream, Darksteel and Skylynx, who summon Shockwave to help in gathering up the bones. Their task is interrupted by the arrival of Unicron, and Starscream is overjoyed to see who he assumes is Megatron, however Unicron corrects him and bats him aside. Darksteel and Skylynx attack, but have no more luck against Unicron than anyone else has had. Opposition defeated, Unicron uses his power to raise the Predacon bones as an army of [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcons]]. Starscream flees, while Shockwave is quickly dogpiled by the horde.

[[File:PredaconsRisinglastlineofdefense.jpg|upright=1.4|right|thumb|"You are [[Avengers|Cybertron's mightiest heroes]], and [[Captain America|I've]] called you all together for one reason: the [[Unicron|end of the world]] is here, and it's our job to stop it. The world is counting on us, and we will not fail. [[Autobot|You]] [[Decepticon|are]] [[Predacon (Prime)|all]] heroes, but today... we are all Cybertronians."]]
The Autobots, using the warship's computer to locate Unicron, detect the huge build up of Dark Energon at the burial ground and quickly realize what Unicron intends. As the horde starts moving across [[Hydrax Plateau]] towards the [[Well of All Sparks]], the Autobots prepare to use the warship to defend the location. Ratchet and Ultra Magnus are dropped off at a safe location and Smokescreen goes to retrieve the remaining relics from storage. Starscream arrives on the ship and frees the imprisoned Deceptions. They attempt to retake the ship, however Knock Out turns against Starscream, using the phase shifter to seize the [[Immobilizer]] and clock him with it... which also destroys the Immobilizer. Ooops.

Predaking arrives at the burial ground and is horrified to see that it has been desecrated. He asserts his dominance over Skylynx and Darksteel by fighting them, however Shockwave pops up to suggest they put their combat skills to more productive use against Unicron's horde.

[[File:Predaconsrising-chaosandcreation.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|"So you came to die with your planet!" <br> "No, [[Batman|I]] came back to stop you."]]
The Autobots make their last stand in the warship, opening fire on the oncoming Terrorcons. While the horde flies up to attack the ship, the Predacon trio arrive to lend a hand. Unfortunately the warship is shot down a short time later by concentrated Terrorcon fire blasts. The Autobots emerge, but Predaking tells them to leave the fighting to the beasts. The Predacons are only able to slow the horde's advance and the Terrorcons start heading into the Well of All Sparks. Unicron himself feels the presence of the AllSpark as Magnus's ship returns to Cybertron. Optimus jumps out to attack Unicron, who shoots down the ship down before Optimus can engage him. Even Optimus has trouble fighting Unicron, and he's only saved when Bumblebee uses the [[polarity gauntlet]] to halt Unicron's blow. Optimus flies to where Bulkhead and Arcee are helping Wheeljack out of the wreck of Magnus's ship, intending to secure the AllSpark. Unicron breaks free of the polarity gauntlet's grasp and catches up with Optimus, who is now fleeing with the AllSpark, shooting the Autobot leader down. Unicron opens the AllSpark container intending to devour the contents, only to find it is empty. Unicron's anti-spark is drawn out of Megatron by the vessel, which pulls it into itself and seals, trapping it there. The link to Unicron severed, the Terrorcon army disintegrates just before it can reach the core.

[[File:PredaconsRisingWellofAllSparks.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|AllSpark: Taste the Rainbow.]]
Starscream lands, having escaped his cell during the crash, and welcomes Megatron back from the dead, believing Megatron will once again lead the Decepticons. Having been put through the torments of Unicron, Megatron is broken, and no longer wishes to be an oppressor. Over Starscream's objections, he declares the Decepticons no more, and flies away, destination unknown. Starscream also flees, going instead to Darkmount where he intended to take his place as Decepticon leader. His reign is short-lived, as the Predacons arrive looking to settle some old scores with him.

At the Well of All Sparks, Optimus reveals that in order to set the trap for Unicron, he was forced to empty the AllSpark into the [[Matrix of Leadership]] inside him. This unfortunately means that his own spark is one with the multitude of others now inside the Matrix, and the only way the AllSpark can be restored to the Well is by merging it with the planet's core, which means giving up his own life. Despite protestations, Optimus assures them there is no other way, and that the age of Primes is over... and that new leaders will arise not by decree of ancient talismans, but by the virtue of their actions. Optimus flies into the Well, sacrificing himself, which releases a multitude of sparks into the sky.

==Quotes==
"Optimus Prime would deem it a tragedy to stain Cybertron's fresh soil with any newly-spilled energon. So help us prove what Megatron was never willing to, that more than one race can peacefully co-exist on our planet."<br>
"You assume that because I turned against Megatron, I can forgive the Autobots their role in the destruction of my brethren on Earth? Leave me be and dare not trespass here again."
:—'''Bumblebee''' tries to appeal to '''Predaking'''... and fails.


"What are we supposed to call him, huh? Megacron? Unitron?"<br>
"Really? That's your biggest issue right now?''
:—'''Smokescreen''' debates over what to call a Unicron-possessed Megatron, while '''Arcee''' has more important things to do. 


"It isn't fair. How many more times do we have to save a world? Have to fight for the survival of our home?"<br>
"Regrettably the struggle between creation and destruction is an eternal one, and the battle lines which separate the two run through the very spark of Cybertron. Good and evil; order and chaos; one victorious, one vanquished. Each forming the core of their own separate worlds, Cybertron and Earth. And now the darkness has followed us all the way home."
:—'''Arcee''' and '''Ratchet''' lament the latest developments.


"In the name of the mighty legions of Predacons who preceded me, I shall never again yield to your charge, but I will heed your previous advice and face my true enemy as a beast!"
:—'''Predaking''' to Unicron/Megatron.


"Woah, wait! What in Alpha Trion's beard is that"
:—'''Smokescreen''''s reaction to seeing the massive Dark Energon signal appear on the monitor


"'Bee, in case I'd never get another chance to say this, you've really proved your mettle."<br>
"I'd like to think my actions always spoke louder than my words, Arcee, but it didn't hurt to watch and learn from the best."<br>
"Would be nice if Optimus showed up about now."<br>
"I was referring to a powerful little two-wheeler I know."
:—'''Arcee''' and '''Bumblebee''' talking about taking it to the next level.


"'''The past shall consume the future, the dead shall consume the living, and chaos shall reign supreme!'''"
:—'''Unicron''' being a badass, riding a Terrorcon into battle.


"And who made you boss?"<br>
"I am not your boss. I am your ''KING''!"
:—'''Darksteel''' expresses his usual defiance, before receiving a verbal smackdown from '''Predaking'''.


"Knock Out! We needed that!"
:—'''Bumblebee''' channels Ratchet while telling off his new ally.


"Why'd you do it, Knock Out? Why'd you turn against Starscream?"<br>
"Even if I had helped him seize this ship, he would probably just fire me out of the first airlock. Oh. And he's ''rude''." 
:—'''Arcee''' and '''Knock Out''' discuss the latter's change of heart.


''Enough!'' The Decepticons are no more and that is final."<br>
:—'''Starscream''' finds more has changed about '''Megatron''' than he expected.


'''Starscream:''' This is not quite how I envisioned my rise to the throne, but since Lord Megatron all but surrendered it to me, I will gladly revive the Decepticons in my name.<br>
[Starscream gasps upon the Predacons' arrival]<br>
'''Starscream:''' Though, perhaps, the throne is more befitting of an actual king?<br>
'''Predaking:''' I am not here to seize thrones, Starscream. But to settle scores.
:—And the second reign of '''Starscream''' is shorter than [[Double Jeopardy|Terrorsaur's]].


"While this may very well mark the end of the Age of Primes, leadership can be earned, with or without the Matrix. And in my view, you have ''each'' acted as a Prime."<br>
"Well I never really had the best role models."<br>
:—'''Optimus''' passes leadership on to all the members of Team Prime, while '''Knock Out''' is actually humble for once. 


"Above all, do not lament my absence, for in my spark, I know that this is not the end, but merely a new beginning. Simply put, another transformation."
:—'''Optimus Prime's''' closing words of the film and the whole series.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*Predaking is often missing his wings when he transforms into [[beast mode]], for instance during the fight with Unicron/Megatron, Darksteel and Skylynx, and the fight against the Terrorcon Predacons. At the end of the last fight they just suddenly reappear when it ends at the Well of All Sparks.

===Continuity errors===
*Shockwave's survival is questionable, at best. Once the Terrorcon Predacon army is raised from the dead, they pile on Shockwave, who is currently in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. When he shows up to convince the living Predacons to do something useful, he's now in [[robot mode]] with minimal visible damage; the worst is a missing "wing" and his cracked optic. Furthermore, he just vanishes from the plot after that. Did the Terrorcons decide he didn't taste good? Or was this a last-minute [[Hasbro]] edict to save him for later use?
*Nothing ever comes of the third Predacon clone Shockwave was in the process of growing, though it wasn't given much time to mature after being introduced.
*Come to think of it, if Predacon bones were on Cybertron, why weren't they turned into Terrorcons back in "[[Darkness Rising, Part 5|Darkness Rising]]"? Either this was a necessary plot hole, or the Predacon burial ground was embedded deep enough that the Dark Energon didn't seep that far.
*Darkmount's throne is undamaged when Starscream tries to claim it, even though Unicron shot it multiple times and pitched a spear through it.
*The manacles that Knock Out and the Vehicons are wearing in their first appearance are gone when Starscream shows up to break them out.
*Ratchet's medical scan of Ultra Magnus shows two intact hands, when he clearly still has the claw Ratchet fashioned for him.
*Unicron orders his Predacon zombies to use their "dragon fire" against Primus. As shown in "[[Prey (episode)|Prey]]", the word "dragon" is unknown to Bulkhead and Wheeljack, and it's rather unlikely Unicron would be more familiar with human mythology than the Autobots.
*The length of the Well of All Sparks seems to change frequently throughout the episode. First, it takes the Terrorcons several minutes, flying at top speed, to almost reach the core. In the meantime, Optimus arrives back on Cybertron, Unicron and Optimus battle and Optimus sets and springs the trap for Unicron. Then, when the Terrorcons are disabled and blasted to dust, Predaking, Darksteel and Skylynx are left treading air in front of Primus. Yet when Starscream takes off for Darkmount, they apparently fly up and out of the well, catch up with him, and arrive mere seconds after he does. Then later, when Optimus dives into the well, he arrives at Primus in what seems like mere ''seconds''.

===Continuity notes===
*Bumblebee is promoted to Warrior-class after first mentioning it as his goal in "[[Masters & Students]]", and later admitting he was holding back to be promoted on Cybertron in "[[Project Predacon]]".
*Bulkhead goes back to construction as Ratchet suggested in "[[Alpha/Omega]]".
*A handful of Vehicons are seen helping repair buildings on Cybertron with the Autobots, though it's not made clear if this is forced labor or they just decided to switch sides. Other Vehicons are seen imprisoned with Knock Out, further muddling the issue.
*The AllSpark was introduced to the [[Aligned continuity family]] in the novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus|Exodus]]'', where it was launched from Cybertron during the war. The novel concluded with the Autobots' picking up its signal after departing Cybertron—an obvious allusion to a [[live-action film series|live-action movie]]-style journey to [[Earth]] in search of it—but this was dropped for the sequel ''[[Transformers: Exiles|Exiles]]'', and nobody but Optimus seems to remember much about the whole affair here (likely as a means to better explain it to the audiences who didn't read the novels).
*Knock Out was locked up after being decked by [[Miko Nakadai (Prime)|Miko]] in "[[Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock]]".
*Knock Out gets payback on Smokescreen by sticking him in a wall with the Phase Shifter in an identical position to his own wall-imprisonment in "[[Inside Job]]".
*Knock Out destroys the [[Immobilizer]], which was introduced in "[[Partners]]", by knocking Starscream out with it.
*Smokescreen mentions that he almost became a Prime, which occurred in "[[Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion]]".
*Predaking [[Minus One|takes Megatron's advice]] and faces his true enemy [[Synthesis|as a beast]]!
*Knock Out refers to the Predacon Terrorcons as "zombiecons", a term previously used by Miko in "[[Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone]]".
*Predaking wishes to settle scores with Starscream due to the abuse inflicted upon him in "[[Prey (episode)|Prey]]", "[[Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command]]", '[[Plus One]]", and "[[Evolution]]", as well as for the cheap shot that resulted in him losing his fight against Megatron in "[[Synthesis]]". 
*Arcee mentions going to Vector Sigma to save Optimus's life like before, which occurred when Arcee took Jack to Vector Sigma to obtain the reloaded Matrix of Leadership to restore Optimus's memory.
*Shockwave's eye is damaged yet again, something which first happened in "[[Out of the Past]]" by Arcee, and in "[[Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock]]" by Bumblebee.
*In ''[[Transformers: Exodus|Exodus]]'', the Core of Cybertron itself reveals to Optimus Prime after offering him the Matrix that the Matrix and the Core are working through Optimus to allow Cybertron's regeneration, it has also predicted he would lead Cybertron into a new age of unimagined wonders just as Optimus marks the end of the age of the Primes.

===Transformers references===
*Megatron's resurrection from the bottom of the ocean and subsequent travel into space recall similar scenes from ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
*Lord Smokescreen, [[Emperor of Destruction]]!
*Unicron calls his new form an [[Instruments of Destruction|Instrument of Destruction]].
*Optimus brings new life to Cybertron by jumping into a pit that leads to the core of the planet and committing suicide. Why does that sound [[Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future|familiar]]?
*The third Predacon clone being grown in Shockwave's lab heavily resembles [[Ripclaw (Prime)|Ripclaw]], albeit with a few minor changes.
*The [[Allspark]] is cast into space beyond Megatron's reach for safekeeping, [[Transformers (film)|yet]] [[Transform and Roll Out|again]].
*Smokescreen makes a reference to [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]].

===Real-world references===
*The laying of a sword on the shoulders as Optimus does with Bumblebee during the warrior ceremony is from the investiture ceremony, used when someone is knighted.

===Trivia===
*Originally, TVGuide's listing for this movie was incorrectly (yet still more appropriately) titled "Chaos Rising", which was later said to be the original title before Hasbro ordered the title changed. Though, TVGuide does still list it as a [http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-2013/episode-14-season-3/chaos-rising-part-1/308171 three] [http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-2013/episode-15-season-3/chaos-rising-part-2/308171 part] [http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-2013/episode-16-season-3/chaos-rising-part-3/308171 episode] instead of a movie. Subsequently, however, this movie ''did'' eventually air on the Hub split into episode form, using the titles given by TVGuide. "Predacons Rising - Part 1" aired on [[November 14]], 2013, "Predacons Rising - Part 2" aired on [[November 18]], 2013, and "Predacons Rising - Part 3" aired on [[November 19]], 2013.
*Bumblebee demonstrates leadership skills as he manages the defense against Unicron's attack on the Well of All Sparks in Optimus Prime's absense.
*''Predacons Rising'' is a [[Hub Network|Hub]] Original Family Movie, concluding the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon.
*The [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] is used by Optimus to promote Bumblebee, and is never seen again in the rest of the movie. It's never mentioned as being aboard the ''Nemesis'' like the other Iacon relics are, so Optimus must still have it. But if so, why didn't he use it against Unicron?
*The film was leaked online a few weeks before its airdate.
*A few plot threads remain unresolved by the end of the film:
** [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] are still trapped in the Shadowzone.
** [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] is also still shambling around in the Shadowzone as well.
** [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] and her legion of Terrorcon [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticons]] are still on that dead moon of Cybertron's.
** Though [[Silas|Cylas]] wiped out the [[MECH]] troopers who had saved his life, it seems unlikely that the entire organization was killed off, given their generous resources. [[William Fowler|Fowler]] himself suspected MECH is a larger operation than just Cylas, leaving the rest of the organization at large.
** Fowler had a lengthy discussion with [[Jack Darby (Prime)|Jack]] regarding his future career, suggesting he take up arms against any future Decepticon threat, and his lingering focus on the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]] seemed rather heavy on the foreshadowing. This conversation ultimately received little to no follow-up.
** On a similar note, Fowler and [[June Darby|June]] seemed rather close by their last appearance in the series, but their future remains unknown, though [[Steve Blum]] voiced his belief on the season three DVD commentaries that they did get together after the series, with Fowler giving Jack a "It doesn't make me your dad," speech.
** How ''was'' [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] able to understand Bumblebee's beeps and boops?
** All unseen Insecticon sentries on Cybertron also remain at large, as do any unseen Decepticons.
** The [[Resonance Blaster]] was last seen in "[[Hard Knocks]]" in the custody of the Decepticons, but Smokescreen claims the only Iacon relics aboard the ''Nemesis'' are the Immobilizer and the Polarity Gauntlet, leaving its status unknown.
