The three Autobot brothers, Sky Byte, and Ultra Magnus meet each other in the city and begin to battle. When Sky-Byte and Ultra Magnus are alone, the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]] offers Magnus a team-up against Optimus Prime. Magnus considers accepting the offer (but secretly only wants to join the Predacons for information). The Autobots and [[Decepticons]] both emerge from their hiding places, and the [[Commando|Commandos]] ensnare the three brothers in a net.

Prime arrives at the location Scourge forwarded him, looking for his comrades. All the Decepticons open fire, but the train bots (sent by Ultra Magnus) arrive on the space bridge in time to save their leader.  But because the Decepticons have prisoners, the Autobots can't fight back. Luckily, the three captive Autobots arrive, carried by Ultra Magnus.


The Autobots and Predacons battle against each other with several named attacks. When Megatron stomps upon the three brothers, concern for the Autobots causes Ultra Magnus to receives an exponential power-boost. The energy is transferred into the three Autobots, who push Megatron away and change color into stronger forms. Ultra Magnus and Prime combine into Omega Prime and the Decepticons retreat. Magnus states that he still holds his grudge against Prime and leaves.

==Railleries in Dialog==


'''Megatron:''' What does he want? Why has he come to this planet? Ultra Magnus is an exceedingly powerful Autobot. He seems stamped in the same sheet of steel as Optimus Prime. Hm, he could be dangerous. This must be a way to use him to our advantage.<br>
'''Sky-Byte:''' He may be an Autobot, but he doesn't work and play well with others.

Summary

Reviewing clips in his viewing globe, Megatron ponders the presence of Ultra Magnus. Sky-Byte points out that the new Autobot is no fan of Optimus Prime, and suggests recruiting him; Megatron agrees, assigning Sky-Byte the job. Meanwhile, Koji and the Autobots also question the role Ultra Magnus has come to play.
