As the Autobot/Decepticon fight draws to a close, Cliffjumper and his mysterious charges begin travel to another world.
Synopsis
Starscream, hounded by Jetfire, demands Ramjet's assistance, but his fellow Seeker goes after the power source below ground, abandoning Starscream to the Autobot flier. Mirage, meanwhile, turns invisible, and the damaged Rodimus provides cover fire. Below ground, Skyfall, Landquake, Breakaway, and Cliffjumper gather around the Caretaker-a massive supercomputer, which even Landquake has trouble comprehending. The Caretaker explains that he was created by Vector Sigma to assist Breakaway; Skyfall is rendered incredulous, as he remembers Vector Sigma was damaged back on his Cybertron. The Caretaker explains that while that node of Vector Sigma was damaged, all other surviving nodes are functional, and that he is merely a terminal connected to the Vector Sigma gestalt. Caretaker requires Breakaway to help him input to continue his functions, but Breakaway realizes he cannot remember his purpose. Caretaker observes that his CR chamber malfunctioned, and his memory back ups will be problematic until a process called "Reunification" is complete, with two of the others needed for the process. Question on what this Reunification is, the Caretaker explains that they must rejoin, their purpose as individuals over. Together, they and two others are a Prime, guardian of Rarefied Energon, which makes up the very substance of the Transformer race's bodies. Without it, no new Cybertronians can be created, and all will die. While they are in transit to the newly located position of the fourth component, the pool above, a reserve supply, will be siphoned off to another location. Landquake is still somewhat reluctant, unsure of this portal, but the supercomputer urges him on, unless all are condemned.
Topside, Megatron throws Bonecrusher aside, before being blasted in the chest by Optimus Prime. Grimlock attempts to join the fight, but Scavenger and Hightower knock him down. Soundwave continues firing on Rodimus, but Mirage sneaks behind him, invisible, and holds him at gunpoint. Back below, Breakaway is convinced to go through. Skyfall protests, not even sure if he knows what the Caretaker really is, but Landquake follows Breakaway, and urges Skyfall to come with him. Ramjet enters the chamber below, but activates a laser tripwire left by Cliffjumper, unleashing an explosion in his face. Soundwave has Astrotrain surrender, while Optimus and a recovered Grimlock team up against Megatron. Megatron, impressed by Prime and his troops, orders a withdrawl, telling his nemesis that next time, he will not be lucky. And below ground, Skyfall sighs, and enters the portal with Cliffjumper...
