	Megatron contacts [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] and shows him the imprisoned Elita One. Optimus rushes to her rescue, even though he knows it's a trap. Apparently, 4 million years ago, Optimus and Elita had a "thing" going. Right before boarding the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]], Elita begged to go with him, but Optimus told her it was too dangerous. As they spoke, the Decepticons attacked [[Great Dome\|Iacon]] and Elita vanished in the chaos, leaving Optimus to think she had perished. Not wishing to lose her a second time, Optimus heads for Cybertron via the Decepticon space bridge. [[Powerglide (G1)\|Powerglide]], [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ironhide]] and [[Inferno (G1)\|Inferno]] become curious as to why Optimus is heading to Cybertron alone and follow in secret.
