	In an attempt to prevent anymore casualties, Optimus Prime made a heroic frontal assault against the elite members of the Decepticon army still positioned outside. In tractor-trailer mode, he mowed down Thrust and Shrapnel, while narrowly missing Blitzwing before transforming to [[robot mode]] and using his [[ion blaster]] to singlehandedly blast the Decepticons Ramjet, Thundercracker, Soundwave, Kickback, and Dirge, fighting his way to engage Megatron in what he assured the Decepticon would be their final battle.
