==Synopsis==


Success! [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)|Acid Storm]] has finally managed to use [[Vector Sigma]] to send a particular set of instructions to the [[AllSpark]]. The artifact sheds its shell and shoots a beam into a waiting [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], fusing with the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] and infusing him with its power. Starscream gleefully declares he now has the power to return everyone to the AllSpark... and demonstrates by stripping his Seeker followers of their [[Spark]]s.

At the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]], [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] rallies a team of Autobots made up of [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] and [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] in order to retake the AllSpark from Starscream. They quickly make their way through the nearby [[GroundBridge]] and arrive at the GroundBridge nexus that served as the AllSpark's hiding place. Jetfire points out the bridge that will lead them to where Starscream met him, but as the Autobots make their way there they're interrupted: the Decepticons have arrived as well.

Both sides gear up for a battle, but are interrupted as one of the GroundBridges flares to life. Accompanied by a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s, the AllSpark-powered Starscream has arrived.  


[[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] admiringly observes that Optimus is always one step ahead, before turning the compliment on its head by noting it makes it easier to shoot him in the back.

The effort exhausts Optimus, knocking him unconscious as the others recover.

Despite a last ditch attempt by Megatron, the Autobots successfully escape with both the AllSpark and the still comatose Optimus, only for Windblade to notice Bumblebee is missing.

He did not reckon with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which Optimus uses to knock the AllSpark right out of him. The effort exhausts Optimus and he stays down even as the others recover.

Starscream's plan reaches its endgame, and no one is safe.

Synopsis

[edit]

Success! Acid Storm has finally managed to use Vector Sigma to send a particular set of instructions to the AllSpark. The artifact sheds its shell and shoots a beam into a waiting Starscream, fusing with the Seeker and infusing him with its power. Starscream gleefully declares he now has the power to return everyone to the AllSpark... and demonstrates by stripping his Seeker followers of their sparks.

At the Ark, Optimus Prime rallies a team of Autobots made up of Windblade, Grimlock, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Jetfire in order to retake the AllSpark from Starscream. They quickly make their way through the nearby GroundBridge and arrive at the GroundBridge nexus that served as the AllSpark's hiding place. Jetfire points out the bridge that will lead them to where Starscream met him, but as the Autobots make their way there, they find the Decepticons have arrived as well. Both sides gear up for a battle, but are interrupted as one of the GroundBridges flares to life. Accompanied by a swarm of Scraplets, the AllSpark-powered Starscream has arrived.

Joyful at finding all his greatest enemies all gathered in one spot, Starscream muses that they must eager to rejoin the AllSpark even as Cheetor comes to the horrified realisation that Starscream has integrated the AllSpark into his own systems. Optimus and Megatron waste no time and open fire on him, but their blasts are deflected. An attempt by Jetfire and Windblade for an aerial attack ends just as badly, and Shadow Striker and Shockwave's blasts fare no better. Now annoyed, Starscream paralyzes everyone present before demonstrating his command over them by forcing Grimlock to transform back and forth against his will. This petty display draws Megatron's mockery, and his dismissive attitude to Starscream's threats serves only to increase the Seeker's rage. Using his powers, Starscream forces everyone to kneel before him before he begins extracting their sparks. Left with no other options, Optimus uses the energy of the Matrix of Leadership to blast the AllSpark right out of Starscream. The effort exhausts Optimus, knocking him unconscious as the others recover.

Megatron gleefully scoops up the AllSpark and attempts to finish Optimus off, but Grimlock intervenes and a pitched three-way battle ensues between the Autobots, Decepticons, and the now feral Scraplets. The latter are quickly taken out of the fight when Shockwave seizes control of them with his new drone controller, and then they fall into a chasm courtesy of Grimlock.
