Synopsis

← Older revision		Revision as of 02:38, 21 August 2025
Line 24:		Line 24:
	The Autobot trio brawl with the Mirage duplicates, who go down easily, but outnumber them five to one. Mirage at first disguises himself as Sky-Byte to use his throwing blades, but after a couple of hits, resorts to hiding in the shadows as himself. Bumblebee is tackled by the real Sky-Byte, but saved by Elita-1, and he goes to chase Mirage. Optimus follows Bee, but Elita is unable to resist trying to take her vengeance on the shark. As they run, Optimus and Bee are mocked by yet more Mirage holograms, picking on Bee especially for needing Optimus to protect him. Meanwhile, Elita has Sky-Byte backed into a corner, until he has Mirage drop another illusion, revealing he got an upgrade from Megatron since their last meeting - a set of wheels, letting him transform into a land-bound alt-mode and chase her down.

Meanwhile, Elita has Sky-Byte backed into a corner, until he has Mirage drop another illusion, revealing he got an upgrade from Megatron since their last meeting - a set of wheels, letting him transform into a land-bound alt-mode and chase her down.

	Still pursuing Mirage, Bumblebee is startled by the sudden appearance of Megatron, which is of course another illusion, as Mirage tackles him from the side. The two come to physical blows, but Mirage is able to use his illusions to turn invisible and steal Bumblebee's gun. Bumblebee mouthing off about they have a plan to beat [[Scorponok (Cyberworld)\|Scorponok]] and return to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] in a ship catches him off guard, though, and while he tries to ask questions. Bumblebee kicks him off a building, and he cannot transform into jet mode fast enough to stop himself hitting the ground. Meanwhile, Sky-Byte nips at Elita's heels hungrily, but Optimus Prime saves her. He tries to call Mirage for back-up to even the numbers, but Bumblebee arrives instead. Outnumbered three-to-one, he flees in shark-car mode. The trio give chase, but when Elita tells them to take a route to hide from surveillance, they instead run into a limping Mirage, who asks to talk about their escape plan.
