Optimus Prime makes the decision to send the AllSpark into space to ensure Megatron can never find it. This is a decision that weighs heavy, as its absence could condemn Cybertron to a slow death. A Decepticon drone assassin - one in a long line of them - attacks the Autobot base in search of Optimus, who goes out to meet the threat head on. Destroying the drone by transforming and ramming into it at high speed, Optimus is left badly damaged and sees a vision of the Transformer war spread to other worlds. This causes him to question launching the AllSpark - but it's too late, as it's already been launched...
