Having just lost one of their own for good, the Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.

Synopsis

As he sucks the Energon from Trailbreaker's spark, Megatron tells the Autobot that he will honor him by savoring every drop. The rest of the Decepticons can only watch in horror as he does so. Optimus Prime then comes across the scene, having been looking for Trailbreaker, and is horrified to see what his archenemy has done. He immediately attacks with his energon-axe, and the two engage in a brutal battle, trading both ferocious blows and cutting words. Just as Megatron prepares to finish Optimus off with his fusion cannon, he is saved by Shredhead, who jumps in front of the blast. The rest of the Autobots then join the fray, and another all-out battle between the two sides begins.

As the Autobots and Decepticons battle, Megatron orders the Constructicons to get to the Ark. Hook, Bonecrusher, and Scavenger manage to penetrate the ship and free Soundwave from his cell but are halted by the Magnuses Arcee and Ultra. Though they are missing half their team, the three Constructicons form the upper half of Devastator to crush them. Meanwhile, Bulkhead contends with Bruticus while Beachcomber tries to protect the local wildlife. Megatron confronts Thundercracker; however, right as he prepares to execute the turncoat, he is once again taken over by pink energy.

This momentary pause gives the Autobots a chance to rally again before a now fully formed Devastator barrels through clutching a number of the stasis locked Decepticons from the Ark as well as Soundwave, who gives the order to retreat as he goes to aid Megatron. Optimus orders the Autobots to give chase, believing this confrontation could secure an Autobot victory, but he is stopped by Elita One and Cliffjumper, now on Earth!

Characters in italic text appear only in flashbacks.
