	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	As he ~~sucks~~ the [[Energon]] from [[Trailbreaker (G1)\|Trailbreaker]]'s [[spark]], [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] tells the [[Autobot]] that he will honor him by savoring every drop. Aside from a delighted [[Skywarp (G1)\|Skywarp]], the rest of the [[Decepticon]]s can only watch in horror as he does so. [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] then comes across the scene, having been looking for Trailbreaker, and is horrified to see what his archenemy has done. He immediately attacks with his [[energon-axe]], and the two engage in a brutal battle, trading both ferocious blows and cutting words. Just as Megatron prepares to finish Optimus off with his fusion cannon, he is saved by [[Shredhead]], who jumps in front of the blast. The rest of the Autobots then join the fray, and another all-out battle between the two sides begins.

	As the Autobots and Decepticons battle, Megatron orders the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicon]]s to get to the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]''. [[Hook (G1)\|Hook]], [[Bonecrusher (G1)\|Bonecrusher]], and [[Scavenger (G1)\|Scavenger]] manage to penetrate the ship and free Soundwave from his cell but are halted by the [[Magnus (rank)\|Magnuses]] [[Arcee (G1)\|Arcee]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra]]. Though they are missing half their team, the three Constructicons form the upper half of [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]] to crush them. Meanwhile, [[Bulkhead (G1)\|Bulkhead]] contends with [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]] while [[Beachcomber (G1)\|Beachcomber]] tries to protect the local wildlife. Megatron confronts [[Thundercracker (G1)\|Thundercracker]]; however, right as he prepares to execute the turncoat, he is once again taken over by pink energy.

	*For one of the only times in fiction, Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] visibly has the lens that identifies it as his scope in alternate mode. Mora uses it to great effect by having Megatron's targets reflected within it.		*For one of the only times in fiction, Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] visibly has the lens that identifies it as his scope in alternate mode. Mora uses it to great effect by having Megatron's targets reflected within it.
			* Similar to Thundercracker using his ''long''-forgotten sonic boom ability 3 issues ago, Mirage's holograms are influenced by his original [[Tech Spec]] bio and ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)\|Rise of the Beasts]]'' depictions of the power, allowing him to project copies of himself around the environment instead of just turning invisible like in [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|the cartoon]].
