==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
With his massive suit of armor, Iron Man leads the [[Autobot]]s' and [[Avengers]]' fight against the [[Decepticon]]s, having prepared it in anticipation of the conflict. Harnessing the power of the American national anthem, Captain America arrives with a [[Quinjet]] to aid his team.
The [[Autobot]]s and the [[Avenger]]s enter battle with the [[Decepticon]]s, who are in [[mirror response mode]] using [[Spider-Man]]'s biology. A [[Transformer]]-sized [[Iron Man]] helps hold the line. Alas, the giant suit is quite the drain on power reserves. [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] checks on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], who notes the lack of overall unified strategy for the Autobot-Avenger force and the absence of [[Captain America]]. But he hasn't run away, merely just taking the time to grab a [[quinjet]] and use it against the airborne Decepticons. Ratchet confronts the [[Array]]'s shields and finds a weak point in, and [[Luke Cage]] demands to accompany the Autobot inside, so he can save his friend.


Ratchet and Luke Cage plan on re-entering the Decepticons' base, while the dirty muties stay outside. Don't do drugs. Prowl follows Ratchet into the dome, but with the intention of stopping Megatron's plot, rather than just rescuing Luke Cage's beloved Spidey. After Prowl drives elsewhere, Ratchet and Luke smash up the place, discovering Megatron his captive webslinger. Megatron attacks the invaders using his powerful Jazz-hands.  
As the two rush inside, they are followed by [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], who disapproves of Luke's presence. Luke tells him off, and Ratchet sends Prowl on a search for the [[Psycho-Prism]]. When they break into the room containing Spider-Man, they are confronted with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who easily knocks the two out. Elsewhere in the Array, Prowl finds the Psycho-Prism and its guard, [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. Ramjet stands aside to allow Prowl to take the device, but, before he can do so, he is knocked out by the Decepticons' newest ally—[[Doctor Doom]]!


ELSEWHERE, Prowl discovers Ramjet and the [[Psycho-Prism]]. Ramjet is surprisingly co-operative with Prowl's demands, but something else fries Prowl's circuits.
In the battle outside, Optimus Prime pumps his energies into Iron Man, allowing him to take down the Decepticon forces. But before they can celebrate their victory, Megatron informs his enemies through holographic projection of the Autobot's failure to capture the Prism or Spider-Man and his alliance with Doctor Doom, who has agreed to rule [[Earth]] after the Decepticons are done with it. The Autobots and the Avangers refuse Megatron's call to surrender, and a furious Megatron shocks Doom into unconsciousness. Walking out with Luke in hand, Megatron comes face to face with his opponents.
 
Outside, the Autobots upload power to Iron Man's armor so that he can black Skywarp and Ramjet out of action. With the Decepticons either defeated or forgotten, the good guys take a brief break. A broadcast from Megatron interrupts the lunch break to announce that Prowl, Luke, and Ratchet have been taken captive thanks to aid from his new partner... Dr. Doom!
 
The Avengers attack, and Megatron punishes Doom for failing to properly anticipate the Avenger's reaction. With Luke Cage in hand and a full dose of extra power derived from Spider-Man's unique biology, Megatron exits his base so that he might crush his enemies.

Can the Autobot-Avenger alliance survive the Decepticons?

Synopsis

The Autobots and the Avengers enter battle with the Decepticons, who are in mirror response mode using Spider-Man's biology. A Transformer-sized Iron Man helps hold the line. Alas, the giant suit is quite the drain on power reserves. Ratchet checks on Optimus Prime, who notes the lack of overall unified strategy for the Autobot-Avenger force and the absence of Captain America. But he hasn't run away, merely just taking the time to grab a quinjet and use it against the airborne Decepticons. Ratchet confronts the Array's shields and finds a weak point in, and Luke Cage demands to accompany the Autobot inside, so he can save his friend.

As the two rush inside, they are followed by Prowl, who disapproves of Luke's presence. Luke tells him off, and Ratchet sends Prowl on a search for the Psycho-Prism. When they break into the room containing Spider-Man, they are confronted with Megatron, who easily knocks the two out. Elsewhere in the Array, Prowl finds the Psycho-Prism and its guard, Ramjet. Ramjet stands aside to allow Prowl to take the device, but, before he can do so, he is knocked out by the Decepticons' newest ally—Doctor Doom!

In the battle outside, Optimus Prime pumps his energies into Iron Man, allowing him to take down the Decepticon forces. But before they can celebrate their victory, Megatron informs his enemies through holographic projection of the Autobot's failure to capture the Prism or Spider-Man and his alliance with Doctor Doom, who has agreed to rule Earth after the Decepticons are done with it. The Autobots and the Avangers refuse Megatron's call to surrender, and a furious Megatron shocks Doom into unconsciousness. Walking out with Luke in hand, Megatron comes face to face with his opponents.
