The fight for solitarium ends with a bang!

Synopsis

At the Decepticon base, Beast Megatron and Rebirth Megatron discuss their amassing of solitarium. With its energies, they can conquer the universe! To obtain even more, they plan to battle the Autobots.

At Autobot base, the Autobots discuss the newly arrived Rebirth Megatron when they are alerted to an incoming Decepticon force. The Autobots summarily gather at the entrance, where they face off with the Decepticons. The battle is intense, with all combatants pulling out their named attacks. Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker face off against Lio Convoy. Gigant Sniper contends with Victory Saber. The two Megatrons fight their rivals. The Megatrons decide to tag-team Optimus Prime, but their efforts are for naught. The battle continues on for three days and three nights, till the two Megatrons are finally defeated.

Using solitarium, the time-displaced Autobots and Decepticons return to their respective eras, leaving Bound Rogue to hope for the return of his old body.
