	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	Inside [[Omega Supreme (G1)\|Omega Supreme]]'s fortress, [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Wheeljack]] attempts to repair [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Thundercracker]] while [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Optimus Prime]] broods, watching a [[television]] report about the incident in [[Albuquerque]]. Despite his weakened state, Thundercracker's interest is piqued by the report and requests that Prime turn the volume up. Prime, however, has had enough and turns the broadcast off. Without the television to distract him, Thundercracker turns his attention to himself, asking Wheeljack where [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ratchet]] is. Wheeljack is insulted that Thundercracker sees him as second best and tells him that Ratchet is busy tending to other [[Autobot]]s who have been wounded. Prime dresses Thundercracker down, telling him that he is receiving the best care that they can provide, but that he expects information in return. He wants to know where [[Megatron (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Megatron]] would take an injured [[Decepticon]] for repairs and tells Thundercracker that without this information he will be treated as any other prisoner. Optimus Prime storms off, followed by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Spike Witwicky]], who tells him that he was somewhat harsh on Thundercracker, considering he clearly didn't have any information to give. Prime retorts that Megatron is out there and must be stopped. Spike tells Prime not to blame himself but Prime claims he doesn't—he blames Megatron. Their conversation is interrupted by the injured [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ultra Magnus]], who is lying down and undergoing repairs after his ordeal. Prime tells him to conserve his energy and, assuming Magnus is trying to apologise for the earlier incident, praises the choices he made, telling him he saved lives. While Magnus clearly appreciates the sentiment, he reveals that he is sorry for not revealing earlier that he had managed to place a tracking chip on [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Soundwave]]. Optimus Prime is impressed but Ultra Magnus smiles and puts on his best advertising voice-over accent and quips "Hunting Decepticons down... it's what I do."

Optimus Prime is impressed but Ultra Magnus smiles and puts on his best advertising voice-over accent and quips "Hunting Decepticons down... it's what I do."

	Preparing for an assault, Optimus Prime reviews [[Skywatch]]'s files. Spike tells him that most of it hasn't even been funded yet, that it is purely theoretical, and that they will have to rely on a more low-tech approach. Prime turns to Ratchet and asks him if [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Jetfire]] is cleared for duty. Ratchet is wary, advising that Jetfire should not be deployed in combat so soon after his injuries during the recent international incident. Prime responds by telling him that Jetfire won't see any combat, Jetfire, however, is keen to have another shot. Prime reassures him that his skills as a scientist are needed and sends him to rendezvous with [[Cosmos (G1)\|Cosmos]] in [[Earth]]'s orbit. His plan set in motion, Optimus Prime strides purposefully off. [[Jazz (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Jazz]] attempts to stop him, offering himself as back up, but Prime tells him that he is off duty until [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Bumblebee]] decides what to do with him. [[Prowl (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Prowl]] too tries to dissuade Prime from his course of action, but Optimus has made his mind up, and boards the Skywatch cargo plane. He will confront Megatron alone.		Preparing for an assault, Optimus Prime reviews [[Skywatch]]'s files.

He will confront Megatron alone.

	In an abandoned laboratory complex, [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Shockwave]] assesses Soundwave's injuries while, above, Optimus Prime prepares his attack. Megatron appears concerned about his fallen lieutenant, but Shockwave states that he is under-equipped. At that moment, Prime leaps from his plane and crashes through the roof, much to Shockwave's consternation. Prime challenges Megatron and suggests that if he doesn't want to lose any more troops perhaps they should take this outside. Shockwave does the logical thing and encourages Megatron to accept the offer, claiming that he can repair Soundwave if they leave him to it. Megatron agrees, instructing his troops to stand down. They all calmly exit and gather outside the complex. Megatron taunts Prime, but Prime dismisses this, instead admiring Megatron's new [[Rail gun\|rail-gun]]. Megatron indulges and tells him that it doesn't even have to be fully charged to destroy a human city. Optimus Prime admits he has used the same [[ion blaster]] for millennia, but tells Megatron that the [[human]]s are more impressive because they advance quicker, that their weapons are better now than three years ago. He asks Megatron if he knows what a [[Kinetic Harpoon]] is and blasts him multiple times at point blank range. Megatron is neither injured nor impressed. Prime transforms and drives off at speed, leaving Megatron confused at this apparent act of cowardice. The Decepticon leader sends [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]] after him. Prime reveals that his blasts were not intended to harm Megatron, but merely to determine targeting and range information. Megatron looks up as the Kinetic Harpoon, a Skywatch communications satellite, is launched directly at him, causing a devastating explosion.

	Prime is caught in the blast and is knocked off his tires. Damaged, he transforms in time to see Megatron emerge from the flames, intact and ready for round two. Disappointed by the failure of his plan, Prime loses it, breaking his trusty blaster over Megatron's head and tries to throttle him with his bare hands demanding to know why he never dies. Megatron stares back at his nemesis with cold, unaffected eyes...		Prime is caught in the blast and is knocked off his tires.

Despite his weakened state, Thundercracker's interest is piqued by the report and requests that Prime turn the volume up. Prime, however, has had enough and turns the broadcast off. Without the television to distract him, Thundercracker turns his attention to himself, asking Wheeljack where [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ratchet]] is. Wheeljack is insulted that Thundercracker sees him as second best and tells him that Ratchet is busy tending to other [[Autobot]]s who have been wounded. Prime dresses Thundercracker down, telling him that he is receiving the best care that they can provide, but that he expects information in return. He wants to know where [[Megatron (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Megatron]] would take an injured [[Decepticon]] for repairs and tells Thundercracker that without this information he will be treated as any other prisoner. Optimus Prime storms off, followed by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Spike Witwicky]], who tells him that he was somewhat harsh on Thundercracker, considering he clearly didn't have any information to give. Prime retorts that Megatron is out there and must be stopped. Spike tells Prime not to blame himself but Prime claims he doesn't—he blames Megatron. Their conversation is interrupted by the injured [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ultra Magnus]], who is lying down and undergoing repairs after his ordeal. Prime tells him to conserve his energy and, assuming Magnus is trying to apologise for the earlier incident, praises the choices he made, telling him he saved lives. While Magnus clearly appreciates the sentiment, he reveals that he is sorry for not revealing earlier that he had managed to place a tracking chip on [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Soundwave]].

	Preparing for an assault, Optimus Prime reviews [[Skywatch]]'s files.

[[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Prowl]] too tries to dissuade Prime from his course of action, but Optimus has made his mind up, and boards the Skywatch cargo plane. He will confront Megatron alone.

	In an abandoned laboratory complex, [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Shockwave]] assesses Soundwave's injuries while, above, Optimus Prime prepares his attack. Megatron appears concerned about his fallen lieutenant, but Shockwave states that he is under-equipped. At that moment, Prime leaps from his plane and crashes through the roof, much to Shockwave's consternation. Prime challenges Megatron and suggests that if he doesn't want to lose any more troops perhaps they should take this outside. Shockwave does the logical thing and encourages Megatron to accept the offer, claiming that he can repair Soundwave if they leave him to it. Megatron agrees, instructing his troops to stand down. They all calmly exit and gather outside the complex. Megatron taunts Prime, but Prime dismisses this, instead admiring Megatron's new [[Rail gun\|rail-gun]]. Megatron indulges and tells him that it doesn't even have to be fully charged to destroy a human city. Optimus Prime admits he has used the same [[ion blaster]] for millennia, but tells Megatron that the [[human]]s are more impressive because they advance quicker, that their weapons are better now than three years ago. He asks Megatron if he knows what a [[Kinetic Harpoon]] is and blasts him multiple times at point blank range. Megatron is neither injured nor impressed. Prime transforms and drives off at speed, leaving Megatron confused at this apparent act of cowardice. The Decepticon leader sends [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]] after him. Prime reveals that his blasts were not intended to harm Megatron, but merely to determine targeting and range information. Megatron looks up as the Kinetic Harpoon, a Skywatch communications satellite, is launched directly at him, causing a devastating explosion.

	Prime is caught in the blast and is knocked off his tires. Damaged, he transforms in time to see Megatron emerge from the flames, intact and ready for round two. Disappointed by the failure of his plan, Prime loses it, breaking his trusty blaster over Megatron's head and tries to throttle him with his bare hands demanding to know why he never dies. Megatron stares back at his nemesis with cold, unaffected eyes...		Prime is caught in the blast and is knocked off his tires.
