Convobat and Megalligator make their escape from Straxus's fortress.
Synopsis
At Darkmount, Straxus's fortress, his experiment C-6 is undergoing a training exercise to become a better assassin, facing off against Air Hunter. When he gets the better of the Decepticon, his creator commends him on his work, christening him as Convobat. Nevertheless, Straxus punishes Convobat for hesitating to kill—he may be a clone of Optimus Prime, but he is still the property of Straxus, and free will is not appreciated in his property. When Convobat stumbles off to recover, he runs into the bound D-6, who proposes an escape...
During the escape, D-6 is cornered by Wrecker Hook, Hailstorm, and Terradive. D-6 scorns his designation, dubbing himself Megalligator and, using his abilities, calls forth Ape X Arms to blast Hailstorm and Terradive. Just as Wrecker Hook realizes he's around, Convobat swoops in to incapacitate the Decepticon. In a weapons storage locker, Megalligator finds a spare transtector. The duo are soon attacked by Straxus himself, who disowns Megalligator. But his creation shows the power given to him by his "father" and explodes his transtector in Straxus's face. Knowing their creator wouldn't be down for the count, Megalligator has Convobat rush out with him. When Convobat questions what Megalligator wants to do with his life, the Autobot reveals he wants to meet his true father—Optimus Prime—and perhaps change his life around. Megalligator is disappointed by this revelation, and a shot hits Convobat! A stranger is revealed as the attacker and he takes his leave with Megalligator as Convobat passes out...
