Synopsis
Megatron tracks down Galvatron after being primed as a weapon by Shockwave. Unwilling to believe that Galvatron could be his future self, Megatron violently attacks him, much to Galvatron’s annoyance. Afraid that he might destroy himself if he fights back with all his power, Galvatron manages to keep Megatron at bay. Only when Galvatron mentions that Starscream would one day throw the damaged Megatron into space does Megatron calm down.
Intrigued, Megatron asks what Galvatron did to Starscream. Upon learning the answer, decides that the two have a lot in common, and that they should perhaps join forces.
Dun-dun-duuuunnnnnnnnnn!
