	In the Decepticon refugee colony [[New Kaon]], [[Blitzwing (Animated)\|Blitzwing]] bargains with [[Lockdown (Animated)\|Lockdown]] for the captured Optimus Prime. This is overheard by [[Lugnut (Animated)\|Lugnut]], who attacks Blitzwing for dealing with bounty hunters and for insinuating that Megatron is dead. Blitzwing is knocked through a wall, where [[Swindle (Animated)\|Swindle]] offers him a weapon to help him in his skirmish...provided that Blitzwing has the available credit downloads. He uses the weapon on Lugnut, to whom Swindle runs to offer weapons as well. Swindle goes back and forth, repairing the loser and selling him increasingly destructive weapons (which ends in disaster for New Kaon) until Lugnut and Blitzwing both realize that they've been duped. They then both mangle Swindle into a ball, which is still smiling, since the customer is always right.

	On a [[~~Kaiba~~-5\|distant planet]], [[Optimus Prime (Animated)\|Optimus]] is alone on a training exercise when he sees the rescue ship arriving early... only it's not a rescue ship, it's the [[Decepticon]] leader, [[Megatron (Animated)\|Megatron]]. Though frightened, Optimus keeps his wits about him and rams Megatron in truck mode, but gets stuck in the mud while trying to escape. He blocks a fatal blow from Megatron's sword and uses his fire foam and grappler to ensnare Megatron, but just when he's about to dispatch the Decepticon with his axe, Megatron impales the [[Autobot]] with his sword.

	The whole mission turns out to be just simulated combat, however, and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)\|Sentinel]] sneers to [[Blackarachnia (Animated)\|Elita-1]] that Optimus got his skidplate handed to him. [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)\|Ultra Magnus]] interrupts, however, and states that Optimus scored higher than anyone else on the combat simulator. Magnus then tells an incredulous Optimus that he expects great things from him.
