Synopsis

As Starscream's ghost faces down Megatron he reveals his origin and the depths of his scheme. He isn't the Starscream Megatron knows, but actually the Starscream from another dimension who was killed by the Galvatron of that dimension. He has traveled to this universe in order to possess this Starscream, thereby allowing him to live again. Oh, and dethrone Megatron, but that's sort of a given.

Astrotrain and Onslaught attempt to seize Starscream's ghost, only for Onslaught to become possessed. Starscream then uses Onslaught's body to dispatch with Astrotrain and attack Megatron.

Outside Decepticon HQ, Ironhide asks Mirage just why their risking their necks to save Megatron from Starscream. Mirage informs him that if Starscream defeats Megatron, they'll be next in line. Suddenly, a dimensional gateway to Starscream's home universe opens up, allowing Autobot Quantum Operatives Skids and Screech to leap through. They intend to "bust" the Starscream's "ghost".

To gain the advantage, Mirage projects Starscream's worst fear before his very eyes: Galvatron. Horrified, Starscream's ghost evacuates Onslaught's body and flies screaming back to his home dimension through the gateway. Skids remarks with amusement that they managed to spook a ghost, while Screech is relieved that Starscream has been forced back to "his old haunts".

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
