After defeating Deathsaurus, Megatron makes his move on the Autobots.
Synopsis
Having returned to base, the Elite Guardsmen wonder why the Gyronian Sentry Team haven't arrived with the Combaticon prisoners yet. The reason becomes clear when Dion makes an inquiry and they discover the Sentry Team has been AWOL for the last decacycle.
Deathsaurus is chained up in his former throne room, now converted into a gladiatorial area in which Megatron intends to prove he's a worthy Decepticon leader by defeating Deathsaurus in single combat. Despite not even being allowed to have his injuries repaired, Deathsaurus initially puts up a decent fight and points out that most of Megatron's men are brainwashed and therefore won't care who wins. Megatron responds that Deathsaurus's Combaticons weren't even interested in helping their former leader. Moments later, Deathsaurus lies defeated, and a victorious Megatron begins giving orders to his men. Starscream is content to follow Megatron's orders for now, but knows someday he'll take his rightful place as Decepticon leader. Deathsaurus, left lying severely damaged but functional, tells Lyzack that they must flee Cybertron.
A week later, Magnum apologizes to Optimus Prime for his competitive behavior. The two resolve to combine their forces to protect the planet, however just then Dion runs up with the news that the combined Decepticon army has arrived at the edge of the city. Even as the Autobots prepare the defenses, the Decepticons break through the defense shields, thanks to their new secret weapon, Devastator.

Notes
- In addition to Hauler and the six Constructicons forming Devastator, an eighth robot in Constructicon purple-and-green can be spotted on the side of the Decepticons in this chapter's final double-page spread. Given the time-frame involved and the use of various Generation 1 cartoon plot points and side characters in "Battle Lines", could this be the enigmatic eighth Constructicon seen in "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4"?
- Among the audience of Megatron's victory over Deathsaurus is another Skyraider generic, to add to the Wings continuity's pile.
