	In [[Megatron's base]] on [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ratchet]] has responded well to the medical challenge and advanced technology being used to re-corporate [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Starscream]]. Almost too well—he has to rein himself in and remember he is being forced to work on this project. As [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Megatron]] leaves him to continue his work, Ratchet takes special note of the three deactivated [[Autobot]]s he brought with him from the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]], and the three prototype [[Pretender]] shells Megatron has on display. He resolves to... stay busy. Megatron offers [[Dreadwind (G1)\|Deadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)\|Darkwing]] permanent jobs and they like the idea, especially as they are not entirely sure they managed to lose the [[Mecannibal]]s. Outside, two of the creatures consume a dead Transformer...

Outside, two of the creatures consume a dead Transformer...

	Back on [[Earth]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]] has had enough of being jerked around, and makes a command decision—the other Autobots are to make their way to the shuttle and return to the Ark as quickly as possible to deal with whatever threat Ratchet might be facing up there. He nominates himself to stay and cover their retreat from any reprisal by [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Scorponok]] and the [[Decepticon]]s. As the Autobots reluctantly follow Prime's orders, the Decepticons swarm over Optimus, pressing him to the ground. Seeing this, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Hot Rod]] chooses to leap free of the rising shuttle at the last minute, and rushes back to his leader's aid.

	No need, though. Optimus Prime once again demonstrates why he's the most hardcore pacifist around. With one shrug of his mechanical muscles, he sends the three Decepticons attacking him flying. He then approaches Lord [[Zarak (G1)\|Zarak]] to calmly discuss the situation, and continues to do so even after taking a point blank zap from Scorponok's tail to the chest. Prime does his best to make Zarak see reason, that they both have been manipulated by the [[Air Strike Patrol]] and whoever is truly giving them orders.		No need, though.

	Needless to say, Ratchet is hardly surprised, but it is also too soon for the counter-plans he has set in motion to bear fruit. Desperate for time, he triggers an explosion in the laboratory to escape his [[Micromaster]] guards. As he runs through the corridors, though, he finds that Megatron has already sent Starscream to Earth by way of the dimensional portal, thanks to a pre-programmed set of personality commands. He then runs into Megatron himself. Uh-oh.		Needless to say, Ratchet is hardly surprised, but it is also too soon for the counter-plans he has set in motion to bear fruit.

	On the Ark, [[Blackjack]] is almost done setting the explosives, when he realizes the other Autobots are on their way back in the shuttle. Looking for a weapon to blast them with, Blackjack runs into [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Kup]], who has reactivated and is pointing a gun in his face. Startled, the Micromaster drops the triggering mechanism, starting the countdown on the copious amounts of explosives.

He resolves to... stay busy. Megatron offers [[Dreadwind (G1)\|Deadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)\|Darkwing]] permanent jobs and they like the idea, especially as they are not entirely sure they managed to lose the [[Mecannibal]]s. Outside, two of the creatures consume a dead Transformer...

	Back on [[Earth]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]] has had enough of being jerked around, and makes a command decision—the other Autobots are to make their way to the shuttle and return to the Ark as quickly as possible to deal with whatever threat Ratchet might be facing up there. He nominates himself to stay and cover their retreat from any reprisal by [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Scorponok]] and the [[Decepticon]]s. As the Autobots reluctantly follow Prime's orders, the Decepticons swarm over Optimus, pressing him to the ground. Seeing this, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Hot Rod]] chooses to leap free of the rising shuttle at the last minute, and rushes back to his leader's aid.

	No need, though. Optimus Prime once again demonstrates why he's the most hardcore pacifist around. With one shrug of his mechanical muscles, he sends the three Decepticons attacking him flying. He then approaches Lord [[Zarak (G1)\|Zarak]] to calmly discuss the situation, and continues to do so even after taking a point blank zap from Scorponok's tail to the chest. Prime does his best to make Zarak see reason, that they both have been manipulated by the [[Air Strike Patrol]] and whoever is truly giving them orders.		No need, though.
