	When [[Megatron ~~(Animated)\|Megatron]]~~ took control of [[Omega Supreme (Animated)\|Omega Supreme]]'s body, the Autobots evaded him by driving into a body of water, the Decepticon leader frustratingly noting that the moisture was interfering with the Autobots' energy signatures. {{storylink\|TransWarped}}		When Megatron took control of [[Omega Supreme (Animated)\|Omega Supreme]]'s body, the Autobots evaded him by driving into a body of water, the Decepticon leader frustratingly noting that the moisture was interfering with the Autobots' energy signatures. {{storylink\|TransWarped}}
