Optimus Prime rescues Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II with the power of his new Black Body.

Synopsis

[edit]

With the arrival of the other-dimensional Galvatron II, the war between the Autobots and Decepticons has intensified. In an attempt to end the struggle, Autobot engineers built a pair of missile launchers so powerful that only Optimus Prime can wield them. Additionally, Optimus Prime has taken on a new body, outfitted with a special "black body" coating which allows him to absorb solar energy. While this enhances his strength, it puts him at risk of overheating, forcing him to end conflicts quickly.

Somewhere, the recently resurrected Laser Rod Ultra Magnus has taken on Galvatron II all by himself. He is no match for Galvatron, who has beaten him senseless. Magnus refuses to surrender, forcing Galvatron to hurl him away joyfully with a few nasty insults. With Magnus defeated, Galvatron prepares to blow his head off. Suddenly, his arm cannon is blown off by Optimus Prime, who has arrived just in time. Amused, Galvatron remarks that the battle is beginning to look like a motor show and asks if Prime got his new tan from country living. Prime admits to being impressed with Galvatron's oh-so-clever observation.
