</table> Sentinel Maximus and Vector Prime fight Ramjet and Nemesis Prime in the spark chamber core of Cybertron.


Synopsis

Vector Prime swordfights with Ramjet as Nemesis Prime heads for Primus' essence in the spark chamber core of Cybertron. Sentinel Maximus follows him, but Nemesis Prime is more than a match for him and hard to catch.

Skyfall agrees to help Downshift down from where he's been pinned to the wall.

On the surface of Cybertron, Quickslinger bemoans her implausible splintered finger. She is knocked to the side as Ramjet and Vector Prime burst out of the ground, still in battle. Ramjet tries to sway Vector Prime, reminding him that with Unicron dead, the balance is destroyed, and that the only way to restore it is to also kill Primus... unless Vector Prime agrees to help restore Unicron. Vector Prime refuses.

Sentinel Maximus fails to stop Nemesis Prime, who seals himself in the heart of Cybertron. He opens the Dead Matrix. "I shall drown the light in darkness."
