Optimus offers Megatron one last chance to save his life by surrendering. Megatron readies his blade... and Thunderwing arrives, unleashing a powerful blast at Optimus. As Optimus dodges, the blast instead collides with Megatron, the force of the explosion sending the Autobots flying. Thunderwing has found what he's after; the bearer of the Matrix, Optimus Prime, and is ready to fulfill his mission and destroy both!

	Thunderwing begins his assault using his arm-cannons, each one with different firing patterns. His left arm unleashes a steady stream of blasts that he sweeps the battelfield with; Optimus times his jumps carefully to get over the hail. Thunderwing's right arm, as it did in the first battle, unloads powerful single blasts that explode upon contact with the ground. Optimus must target each cannon, blasting away at ~~each~~, and ~~getting~~ in close to ~~poerform~~ more powerful melee attacks during Thunderwing's pauses. However, staying too close too long proves dangerous, as Thunderwing slams his clawed hands into the dirt to try and smash Prime to pieces.		Thunderwing begins his assault using his arm-cannons, each one with different firing patterns. His left arm unleashes a steady stream of blasts that he sweeps the battelfield with; Optimus times his jumps carefully to get over the hail. Thunderwing's right arm, as it did in the first battle, unloads powerful single blasts that explode upon contact with the ground. Optimus must target each cannon, blasting away at them, and get in close to perform more powerful melee attacks during Thunderwing's pauses. However, staying too close too long proves dangerous, as Thunderwing slams his clawed hands into the dirt to try and smash Prime to pieces.

	With both cannons inoperative, Thunderwing is done underestimating Optimus. The four Autobots seem to be having little effect on Thunderwing proper. Ratchet finally arrives, carrying a damper device, but informs Arcee that he only had enough time to make one that is only effective once ''inside'' Thunderwing. The situation looks hopeless, but Jack and Miko pipe up, having snuck through Ratchet's GroundBridge portal. Miko shows the Autobots a phone picture showing a small gap in Thunderwing's armor they could get the dampener through, but Arcee notes it's too small for even her to fit through. Jack, however, notes ''he'' can fit in there and place the dampener. None of the Autobots are willing to risk the kids' lives, but as Bulkhead and Bee are now down, and Jack pleads that this fight is as much theirs as it is the Autobots', Prime reluctantly agrees.

	Arcee transforms to cycle mode, carrying Jack and the dampener through a narrow canyon, dodging Thunderwing's blaster shots and air attacks. Arcee keeps her blasters firing on full, breaking up fallen rocks in her path. As she gets near the beast, Thunderwing readies his energy-breath attack, forcing Arcee to hit her boosters to slip under the blast in time. Now under Thunderwing, Arcee lifts Jack into the gap in his armor. ~~Thunderwing staggers as the~~ dampener does its work, causing ~~him~~ to stagger. Jack falls but is saved again by Arcee. As reactors in Thunderwing's shoulders open up, Ratchet recognizes them as a weak point for Optimus to exploit.

As reactors in Thunderwing's shoulders open up, Ratchet recognizes them as a weak point for Optimus to exploit.

	Up close again, Optimus blasts away at each of the exposed reactors. Thunderwing tries to smash Optimus under his claws, but in his weakened state, each blow causes him to stagger, letting Prime rush in and unleash a flurry of melee attacks at the lowered generator. Thunderwing launches Dark Energon fireballs ~~from his~~ into the air which fall down and explode, but Optimus is able to avoid this by rushing in close to the beast. With both generators crippled, Thunderwing is prepared to expend every last drop of energy to destroy Prime and the Matrix... and Optimus is ready to unleash the Matrix's power to stop Thunderwing once and for all.

	The Matrix power upgrades Optimus's attacks, letting him unleash full-powered attacks on Thunderwing's now-exposed core. Taking to the air, the giant spews Dark Energon fireballs in large numbers into the battlefield, forcing the Autobot leader to stay on his toes at all times. Back at close-range, Thunderwing unleashes a ~~tongue~~ of Dark Energon fire that he uses to scour every inch of the battlefield, ~~gain~~ forcing Optimus to run and leap while trying to land blasts on Thunderwing's core. The giant also ~~tires~~ good old-fashioned forearm smashes, though each time he misses, he ~~is staggered~~, which allows Optimus to rush in and land numerous melee attacks on his core.

	Weakened, Thunderwing staggers backwards, plummeting into a pool of lava below. The Autobots beat a hasty retreat as the nearby volcano erupts, spewing chunks of Dark Energon into the field.

	The elevator stops short of ground level, thanks to security protocols. ~~Rav~~ can't hack the security server, forcing Bumblebee to explore the current floor and hunt down two separate computer towers that are blocking Raf's hacking attempts. Once each tower is destroyed, the hall to the security server is open, but guarded by laser beams. Bee's vehicle mode allows him to slip under and through most of them, with some well-timed car jumps to get over low beams. After fighting through swarm of Vehicon Cars, Jets and Helicopters in the server room, Bee is finally able to smash the server itself.

	*Starscream is the main problem here. He became a rogue agent back in "[[Partners (Prime)\|Partners]]", a first-season episode, and did not re-join Megatron's forces until "[[Patch (episode)\|Patch]]", the ''twenty-fourth'' episode out of season two's twenty-six-episode run. Yyyyyeah.		*Starscream is the main problem here.

	**Let's pretend that they kept Starscream in the game as a rogue agent like in the show, which would really only require some cutscene tweaking, right? Well... Starscream lost his [[Transformation cog#Prime cartoon\|T-cog]], stripping him of his ability to transform, in "[[Operation Bumblebee, Part 2]]", the episode ''before'' "[[Loose Cannons]]" (Dreadwing's first appearance), and did not get it back until "[[Regeneration (Prime)\|Regeneration]]", the episode after "Patch"... and also the episode where Dreadwing dies. Oops. This lack of a T-cog is ''workable'', but would severely strip his usefulness as a major "boss" character in a game.		**Let's pretend that they kept Starscream in the game as a rogue agent like in the show, which would really only require some cutscene tweaking, right?

	**Even if you drop Starscream from the game roster altogether (which naturally they would never do), this still only allows the game to occur between the back-to-back episodes "Loose Cannons" and "[[Crossfire (Prime)\|Crossfire]]", where Airachnid bails on Megatron.		**Even if you drop Starscream from the game roster altogether (which naturally they would never do), this still only allows the game to occur between the back-to-back episodes "Loose Cannons" and "[[Crossfire (Prime)\|Crossfire]]", where Airachnid bails on Megatron.
	*Speaking of Airachnid, her Insecticon minions were only under her control while she too was an independent agent, and really only for the singular episode "[[Armada (episode)\|Armada]]". This episode ends with her being locked in stasis (where she remained into season three) and losing control over the swarm to Megatron. And all this happened well before Starscream rejoined Megatron's forces. But if the Decepticons have some new Vehicons we've never seen before or since here, hey, a few smaller, lower-powered Insecticons from a different swarm aren't exactly a stretch.		*Speaking of Airachnid, her Insecticon minions were only under her control while she too was an independent agent, and really only for the singular episode "[[Armada (episode)\|Armada]]".
