	Within Unicron(?), Megatron proposes stealing more energon from Earth.

	Megatron speaks to Starscream: he has no idea who he is, and has forgotten all his ties to the world. Megatron is the only thing he can believe in, and will shape his reality now. He urges Starscream to use his rage, and revel in destruction. He appears and stabs Starscream through the chest with [[Energon Sword\|his sword]], demanding his allegiance in exchange for allowing him to live.

	On [[Earth]], another [[energon tower]] emerges from a warp gate above [[Blizzard City]], stabilized by [[Signal Flare (Energon)\|Signal Flares]] under [[Hot Shot (Armada)\|Hot Shot]]'s supervision. In the mines below, [[Kicker Jones\|Kicker]] and [[Ironhide (Energon)\|Ironhide]] are looking for energon. Kicker speculates that nobody seems to understand how dangerous the mission is, and flashes back to his father assigning him to lead the search, and to a much earlier time when his father lowered him into a deep, dark mine shaft as a young child.

	Starscream approaches the ~~sleep mode~~ Megatron, and tries to stab him through the chest, but is met with a huge surge of energy. Megatron vanishes; Demolishor engages Starscream; the other Decepticons arrive. Megatron has gained the power of [[invisibility]] through his union with Unicron, and easily assaults Starscream with a horde of duplicates and energon shards. Starscream tries to flee, but the big floating head of Megatron pursues and captures him, placing him in an empty void.
