Orion Pax and Megatron go on the offensive against Zeta Prime.
Synopsis
In Iacon, Zeta Prime is assuring the Senate that his methods are working when his Citadel suddenly comes under attack from the combined forces of Megatron's Decepticons and Orion Pax's defected officers. While their troops keep Zeta's Omega Destructors and vamparc cannons busy, Megatron and Orion air-drop into the Citadel and onto the Prime himself, who accepts their challenge and shoots down Megatron. Orion relieves Zeta of his vamparc ribbon, but he doesn't give up so easily and in turn relieves Orion of his arm.
Meanwhile on the battlefield, Ironhide is approached by Ultra Magnus and his unit, who have also turned on Zeta Prime after learning of his crimes. With their help, the rebel Autobots defeat most of the Omega Destructors. Inside the Citadel, Megatron fights Zeta Prime and finally kills him with a point-blank fusion cannon shot to the head. Zeta's troops flee and the last Destructor is destroyed by Shockwave.
As the situation cools down, Orion Pax requests a medic... and is shot in the back by Megatron, who announces that he has outlived his usefulness.
