Revived, Megatron leads an assault on Ocean City, and Demolishor's loyalties are put to the test.
Summary
Inferno provides a recap of the recent disastrous events. The Autobots are shocked at Hot Shot's injuries; Prime calls for a retreat so he can be treated. Megatron lets them go but demands that they surrender all their energon next time they meet.
Unicron is weakening, and so Alpha Q plans to steal back their energon via a new agent: the revived Starscream!
Hot Shot is lowered into an energon pool to heal his injuries. Signal Flare is nearly done duplicating Megatron's sword. Jetfire brings up the topic of Demolishor again, but Prime still takes no action. Demolishor is bored on guard duty.
Megatron has his Terrorcons release their energon onto Unicron. They give him an energon star power-up, and he sends them away for more.
Scorponok is being rather painfully repaired. Tidal Wave tells him he's lucky he got repaired at all, since he'd used the Decepticons. Scorponok wonders why Megatron didn't destroy Prime on Earth; Tidal Wave tells him to figure it out.
Jetfire tells Kicker about the Omnicons' craft. Jetfire muses that they seem to know just where they belong.
A space bridge has materialized out over the ocean; Prime suspect a trap and sends Jetfire to investigate. Prime forbids Kicker to go with him, fearing that Megatron will want him for his special abilities. Ironhide and Prime follow Jetfire.
Jetfire arrives at the space bridge to find empty air... then something materializes and knocks him away. Another space bridge opens up near Ocean City, and Starscream attacks Prime as hordes of Terrorcons pour out of the sky. Demolishor helps defend the city, until Megatron appears in their midst.
Starscream is handily defeating Prime with his teleporting ability. Megatron lands before Demolishor, who's suitably confused. Ironhide wants to attack Megatron in revenge, but Demolishor restrains Ironhide... then knocks him aside. Demolishor pledges himself to Megatron, who immediately demands a test of loyalty by having him open the city's gates.
With Kicker's help, Prime drives Starscream off. When Demolishor hesitates to open the gates, Megatron orders Demolishor to fire on him. Demolishor can't do it; instead he turns and blasts the city gates open, and the Terrorcons pour in. Prime arrives to battle Megatron.
Hot Shot revives in time to help Inferno drive off the Terrorcons in the city, while Kicker holds them off with a copy of Megatron's sword, which he then hands off to Prime, putting the foes on equal footing.
More Autobots arrive carrying copies of the sword, and the Decepticons are surrounded. Megatron uses specially-treated energon to transport his troops away. Despite Ironhide's pleas, Demolishor goes with him, and Prime laments that they couldn't change his mind. Starscream briefly re-materializes, and chuckles.

"Couldn't you be a little more gentle?"

"All you wanted was Megatron's power, but you were too weak."
"Wait! I want to ask you something."
