Synopsis
Zeta Prime and his Omega Destructors are wreaking havoc in Nyon, using vamparc ribbons to drain the rebellious citizens of their energon and burn the city down. Orion Pax tells Hot Rod to evacuate his comrades before moving out against Zeta to buy them some time. Watching from Kolkular, Megatron is impressed by Zeta Prime's unexpected zeal, but shows more interest in seeing what Orion will do.
Acting as bait, Orion Pax and Prowl lure an Omega Destructor into the Rust Narrows, where the rest of the team pelts it with gunfire. Once the war machine proves to be completely unharmed, Orion calls for a retreat in the hopes that Hot Rod is done evacuating. However, Hot Rod's rebels have already given up, realizing there's no way they can all make it to safety in time. They feel it's better that their people die by their hands than used for fuel by Zeta Prime, and Hot Rod regretfully detonates a large number of phase-charges he's planted throughout Nyon.
As the city and the Omega Destructors go up in flames, Orion Pax realizes Zeta Prime had this turn of events planned all along, having purposefully forced Hot Rod's hand to make him kill his own people. Zeta suddenly appears in person, defeats his team and tells him the moral of the story: being on the "right" side isn't important as long as you're on the winning side. Orion desperately charges him, but is swiftly taken out by his vamparc ribbon. Zeta Prime has won.
