	Megatron, meanwhile, rallies his troops (except the [[Stunticon (G1)\|Stunticons]], who are "busy"), and moves against Starscream and his army. In the ensuing battle, Megatron pulls out his trump card: [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Devastator]]. Unfortunately for him, Starscream pulls out ''his'' trump card when he reveals that the Combaticons can likewise combine into a single ~~titan:~~ [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]]! Bruticus makes short work of Devastator, laying out the combined [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]]. The massive combiner then scoops up Megatron in one hand and forces him to acknowledge Starscream as the new Decepticon leader.

	The Autobots use the battle's distraction to rescue Jazz and Cliffjumper; meanwhile, the late-arriving Stunticons look over the situation and decide that Starscream is too likely to continue his rampage. Merging into Menasor, they defeat the unsuspecting Bruticus with one massive punch.
