	The [[Autobot High Council]] commends Optimus and grants him the title of the "Eternal Flame", an honour which comes with a fiery new paint job, all while Bumblebee is chagrined. Sentinel is absent for this, as he is too busy yelling at Megatron. Mini-Con guards swarm over the Decepticon leader, who feigns fear even as he now downloads data ''into'' the Mini-Cons. Megatron asks that Sentinel should kill him and get it over with, but Sentinel declares that the Decepticon still has to stand trial. Deliberately planting an idea in Sentinel's mind, Megatron wonders aloud about the kind of grand, theatrical show trial he might be subjected to...

	Uplink broadcasts events as they unfold. As Megatron is rolled into the court, [[Rattletrap]] is present as his lawyer. Bumblebee is shunned by his friends. Optimus thinks his new flames look stupid. [[~~Alpha Trion (Animated)\|~~Alpha Trion]] brings the trial to order. Sentinel serves as prosecutor, and attempts to begin his opening statement with a list of Megatron's war crimes. However, Rattletrap cuts him off, reminding the court that, at the end of the [[Great War (Animated)\|Great War]], the Decepticons were granted amnesty for their crimes in return for accepting exile. This makes the list of offenses Sentinel is about to read inadmissible.		Uplink broadcasts events as they unfold. As Megatron is rolled into the court, [[Rattletrap]] is present as his lawyer.

	Sentinel is furious at this, and loudly declares that he thinks it was stupid to grant the Decepticons amnesty in the first place. Alpha Trion admits that he was the one to make the decision at the time, and sides with Rattletrap. Now only able to use evidence from after the Great War, Sentinel turns to Optimus' crew and pleads that they testify against Megatron. Bumblebee tries to back Optimus, but Bulkhead, Ratchet and Sari are not impressed. Sentinel asks Bumblebee to imply that Optimus could have stopped Megatron for good and failed, offering to make him "Bumble Prime" in return.
