Synopsis
Optimus Under Threat
Following the apparent death of Megatron in a Spacebridge explosion, Starscream sets out to find Skyquake with Soundwave so he can win over the crew of the Nemesis. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are also drawn to the area after they detect the Decepticon movements and arrive in time to find Skyquake rejecting Starscream as a leader. Though Optimus appeals to Skyquake to renounce the Decepticons, it turns into a brawl which is joined by William Fowler in his V-tol jet. Starscream is sent by Soundwave to investigate a signal and finds Megatron's body floating in the remains of the Spacebridge. He thereby misses the end of the battle, with the Autobots terminating Skyquake.
Also, back at base, Ratchet helps the kids with their science projects. That goes about as well as could be expected.
Off the Rails
After Fowler's V-tol is shot down while transporting the Dingus, he enlists the help of the Autobots to move it across country. The convoy is soon joined by agents of MECH, including Silas, who intend to seize the Dingus for their own uses. The Autobots duck into a railway tunnel temporarily before coming under attack by Decepticon troopers. Though Silas is intrigued by the giant robots who reveal themselves, he's more interested in the Dingus and starts pursuing the train the device was handed off to. Jack and Miko GroundBridge onto the train, but it's not until Optimus joins the pursuit that Silas is forced to call off his attack. Optimus manages to save the train, but MECH now has scans of him.
