==Synopsis==
Shockwave single-handedly attacks and captures Blackrock's oil-drilling platform. In the process, designer Josie Beller is severely injured.  Meanwhile, inside the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', Optimus Prime's still-living head instructs Buster to connect two wires from Prime's forehead to Buster's own. This results in an electric shock, knocking Buster unconscious. However, he remains unnoticed by the [[Decepticon]]s, and returns to Ratchet to report his findings. Meanwhile, Megatron challenges Shockwave for command of the Decepticons, but is defeated. Shockwave returns to the ''Ark'' with Megatron's injured form to use as a demonstration to the other Decepticons of what they can expect if they challenge him.
