With the prone body of Optimus Prime laying before them, General Hallo and Spike stand over the Autobot leader's opened chest. Spike sorrowfully muses about Prime's promise to bring his [[Sparkplug Witwicky|father]] back safe and sound from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He takes a strange bobble from a chain around his neck, places it into the empty Matrix chamber, and then squints at the radiant light that eminates from inside.

Synopsis

With the prone body of Optimus Prime laying before them, General Hallo and Spike stand over the Autobot leader's opened chest. Spike sorrowfully muses about Prime's promise to bring his father back safe and sound from Cybertron. He takes a strange bobble from a chain around his neck, places it into the empty Matrix chamber, and then squints at the radiant light that eminates from inside.

At the Smitco Oil Refinery in the Arctic, an unexpected delivery by helicopters draws the refinery workers' attention. From inside the huge metal box bursts forth a hoard of silent giant robots who smash everything in sight, and maim or murder members of the refinery crew.

Meanwhile, Lazarus and a multi-national group are watching the attack remotely. When finished, Lazarus turns to the group and asks what the assembled outlaws and criminals will bid for his war machines. As bidding reaches a feverish pitch Lazarus unveils his first lot -- Megatron. Before he has his hands on the cash, he learns that the Decepticon leader wasn't quite deactivated.

General Hallo, his staff and Spike stand on a glacial shelf at the feet of the newly resurrected Optimus Prime. Prime removes the Matrix of Leadership from his chest and holds it aloft. The mystical device raises Jazz, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker and Superion from the depths of the frigid ocean. Nearby, the helicopters are returning to Lazarus' headquarters with their Transformer cargo, but as they try to land an explosion rips the building apart and out bursts Megatron.
