The Autobots made a run for it once they were done, leading Shockwave to believe he had beaten them.

	Following a mission that resulted in [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime\|Optimus Prime's death]] and the obtainment of a [[hydrothermocline]], the Earth-stationed Decepticons began planning to have at least part of their troops relocated to a [[Club Con\|new island base]] where the machine could be put to good use.

Responding to Megatron's pliable mindset, Shockwave suggested Optimus Prime could very well have survived, setting off Megatron badly. He destroyed most of the base and only coincidentally scared the military into retreat. As he and most of the troops left to relocate to their one remaining base, Shockwave and Soundwave momentarily stayed behind to contact one of the [[deep space receiving tower]]s on Cybertron, requesting the Predacons ''again'' to come to Earth and rid the faction of Megatron. {{storylink\|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}		Following a mission that resulted in [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime\|Optimus Prime's death]] and the obtainment of a [[hydrothermocline]], the Earth-stationed Decepticons began planning to have at least part of their troops relocated to a [[Club Con\|new island base]] where the machine could be put to good use.

	After months of misfortune, [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Megatron]]'s need for fuel led him to a coal mining pit in the Powder River Basin of eastern Wyoming. However, he found the coal to be indigestible and moments later froze up from fuel depletion. The area was immediately sealed off by the government, who at the time tried to calm the population by presenting the [[Transformer]]s as evil inventions of a technological genius, Robot-Master, the creation and chance alter ego of [[Donny Finkleberg]]. Three days later, the government sent Finkleberg and [[Walter Barnett]], an agent of the [[Intelligence and Information Institute]], to the mining pit for another Robot-Master recording. [[G.B.

	''Upon their return to base, Megatron went over the latest developments regarding the war on Earth. His speech was interrupted when the [[Time-jump mechanism\|time-travelling]] trio of [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] arrived. It was presumed for a moment that Straxus had sent them, but the three explained that they were actually from the future. Megatron saw them as a threat and attacked, but ended up buried with Soundwave under a couple of layers of rubble, after which Galvatron took command of the Constructicons. Since the three future Decepticons' time-jump had made three important Autobots [[Mass substitution\|disappear]], the Autobots had come to the Decepticon base to see if their enemies had anything to do with it. As such, they witnessed Megatron's defeat and Galvatron's takeover. After Galvatron had proven too powerful to defeat with brute force alone, the Autobots saw no other option than to return to Wyoming, dig out Megatron and see if he'd be willing to lead them against their shared opponent. Megatron agreed to the deal, he and Soundwave joining the Autobots gathered in [[Ark (G1)\|Autobot Headquarters]]. Thus the Decepticon base was deserted when Shockwave, [[Thundercracker (G1)\|Thundercracker]] and [[Frenzy (G1)\|Frenzy]] returned there. Though curious where everyone was, they didn't have much time to ponder, as a time-jump by three future Autobots carried them off to [[Limbo]]. {{storylink\|Target: 2006}}		''Upon their return to base, Megatron went over the latest developments regarding the war on Earth.
