Synopsis
Having defeated the Decepticon leadership on Cybertron, Megatron has set himself up as leader once again. He is soon haunted by the spectre of Lord Straxus, the Decepticon warlord who attempted, unsuccessfully, to take over his mind.
Concerned that Straxus is once again taking control of his consciousness, Megatron is relieved when a mysterious intruder makes his way into the Decepticon base. Ravage, who has been concerned that Megatron was descending into madness again is equally relieved that he has a chance for action. He attacks the intruder and is shocked to discover that it is another Megatron.

Generics

Megatron takes down an unsuspecting guard with a karate chop. Uh, right. -
Three guards react to the alarm. -
Megatron beats up on yet more generic Decepticon guards.
