	Some time later, on Earth, the [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]], [[Trainbot]]s, Daniel and Wheelie are all present for the launch of Sol 1, but predictably, the Decepticons are spying on the whole affair, and [[Ratbat (G1)\|Ratbat]] and Soundblaster report back to Scorponok with news of the impending launch. Tired of constantly being shown up by him, Cyclonus and Scourge head to Earth and recruit the [[Predacon (G1)\|Predacons]] for an attack on the launch site, so that they can destroy the Sol 1 and improve their standing in Scorponok's eyes. Their attack is anything but subtle, and they are met with resistance in the form of [[Raiden]], who battles [[Predaking (G1)\|Predaking]] while the Headmasters take on Cyclonus and Scourge. Sol 1 is successfully launched and immediately begins absorbing energy, but this is just what Scorponok desires, as he arranges for the Headmasters and [[Triple Changer]]s to steal it. With the Autobots unable to mount a counterattack thanks to [[Sixshot (G1)\|Sixshot]] keeping them occupied, the Sol 1 is captured by the Decepticons and spirited away.

	A little later, Fortress traces Sol 1's signal, and discovers that the Decepticons have moved it into the vicinity of the planet [[Zarak (planet)\|Zarak]], a world hidden within a dark nebula. The Autobots track it down, but find that it is defended by the Decepticon Headmasters. As the two sides clash, the energy stored within the satellite is beamed down to planet Zarak, where, within a mysterious facility, a giant robotic body absorbs it. Warning the Autobots that they will destroy Sol 1 telepathically if they try to move it back to Earth, the Decepticons make a retreat, and the Autobot Headmasters realise that they have no other course of action but to destroy the satellite themselves. After doing so, they return to Athenia, where Spike assures them that they did the right thing, and that relations between the Autobots and Earth will remain undamaged.
