Synopsis
[edit]As the human watches in awe from within Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Megatron throw powerful punches at one another, knocking them both to the ground. Megatron recovers first, wrapping Optimus's arm with his energon mace and hurling him into the air before slamming him towards the ground. At the last moment, Optimus disrupts Megatron's mace with an ion blaster shot, and responds with a nasty energon axe slice to the face. This only further excites Megatron, eager for all the future battles they'll be having on this new planet, and he transforms to gun mode to fire at a stack of energon cubes, triggering a massive explosion that destroys the plant. Amidst the burning wreckage, the Autobots slowly get to their feet, while Sideswipe directs Optimus to the prone form of Bumlbebee, with his unconscious passenger still inside.
Aboard the crashed Nemesis, Starscream asks Megatron why he destroyed the plant when it could still produce energy for them. Megatron replies simply that they'd already met their energon quota, and he wanted to have some fun during their first fight in millions of years. Soundwave in turn admonishes Starscream for not delaying the Autobots enough, but the smug Starscream replies that he gave them plenty of time and, as Megatron said, they got what they came for. He suggests they agree they all did their best and leave it at that. After all, they're all in this together...aren't they?
The human slowly regains consciousness to find two enormous robots staring down at him, one remarking that his vitals are all normal. He momentarily freaks out, only to stare in amazement as Optimus and the Autobots welcome him to their base. The human at first assumes them to be invented in another country, but Optimus explains that their species hails from the distant world of Cybertron. Once an advanced, peaceful world, the terror and ambition of Megatron plunged the planet into chaos. Nearly dying to Megatron, Optimus took on a new form and gathered allies to form the Autobots, while others drawn to Megatron's power formed the Decepticons. As the two sides waged war, the planet's energon resources ran dry, forcing the Autobots to leave in search of more. As they approached Earth, planning to only take what we needed to not risk harming the native life, they came under fire from the Decepticons, Megatron thanking Optimus for leading him to an unexpectedly resource-rich planet. A battle ensued, and the ships crashed on the planets surface. The robots lay dormant for four million years, until a volcanic erruption reactivated their Teletraan 1 supercomputer, which used its repair program to revive them.
As the human takes in Optimus's story, Bumblebee indignantly chimes in, feeling ignored after the human paid rapt attention to Optimus's story while not acknowledging the face he saved him! Optimus calms his yellow comrade, and explains that just he's sure the human has more he wishes to know about them, they too have many questions they wish to know about humanity...starting with their new friend's name. Now feeling reassured, their guest introduces himself as Spike.
In the frozen wastes, Starscream follows a signal on his tracker before reaching his prize: an enormous Transformer encased in the ice.

Notes
[edit]- While most characters to appear thusfar have used their English names (most notably Optimus, instead of his Japanese name "Convoy"), Sideswipe is referred to by his Japanese name "Lambor".
- Optimus's flashbacks reimagine the events of "War Dawn", including his near death as Orion Pax and reconstruction into his current form, as well as the escape, crash landing, and reawakening on Earth seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1".
- Starscream discovers Jetfire trapped in ice, just as in "Fire in the Sky".
