Synopsis
[edit]The youthful Hot Rodimus returns to Metropolis after completion of his energy gathering task in the 24-BW Spacetime, tired but satisfied that his job has been done. Though he appreciates that Rodimus is exhausted, Optimus Prime insists on a proper explanation from the young 'bot on why he is late in returning; Rodimus explains that a brief disturbance in time and space delayed his mission. Just as Prime is reminding Rodimus on the importance of the energy they gather for SARA, their headquarters is shaken by an explosion and alarms begin blaring. Ratchet reports that the third district of Metropolis has come under attack by airborne intruders staging a bombing run on the city, leaving Optimus staggered by the very notion of an attack after so many years of peace. Footage of the ongoing attack allows the Autobots to identify the leader of the attackers as Starscream, who they know to have been exiled to Underground—a revelation that leads Optimus to suspect he knows who is really behind the attack.
Just as Rodimus petitions Optimus to let him join in the effort to repel these invaders, a second alarm sounds, alerting them to an attack on the seventh district of the city by even more enemies, who have ambushed Brawn. Alarm after alarm begins to go off and more and more regions of the city come under simultaneous attack; Optimus issues orders to Ratchet to disseminate Autobot forces appropriately across the city, then instructs the infuriated Rodimus to and prepare the defenses of their own sector. His tiredness forgotten, Rodimus transforms and heads off, while Prime turns his attention back to the monitors. Spotting a familiar form in the footage from the thirteenth sector, he has Ratchet enhance the image, and is greeting with the sight of a huge silver tank single-handedly devastating the area. Prime has Ratchet cross-reference the tank's energy signature with the database of criminals and exiles banished from Metropolis, identifying it as "Political Prisoner X-86"—also known as Megatron! His suspicions as to the mastermind confirmed, Optimus hefts his favourite gun and heads out to confront his old enemy.

Notes
[edit]- Jazz is included in the illustration for this episode, but is not called out in the text.
- It's not too clear what the disruption of space-time that Rodimus refers to is; as we know he travelled to the Japanese Beast Wars cartoon circa "Before the Storm", it might be the energy pulse given off by the arrival of the alien disc in that episode, or if he hung around for a while, it might be the arrival of the Bio-Dome in "Other Voices, Part 1", or the transwarp explosion from "Other Voices, Part 2".
