Megatron shows the Decepticons what happens to traitors, but Starscream may have an ace up his sleeve.
Synopsis
Skywarp and Blitzwing begin to level the Nebraska bunker. Jimmy and Hunter escape, but Verity is still below, paralyzed by fear at the sight of Megatron—who ignores her as irrelevant. As the bunker collapses in on itself, the Autobots and humans risk themselves to pull Verity to safety.
Meanwhile, Starscream and Astrotrain refine the Ore-13 yield at the Oregon base, as Starscream plans to ingest the energy...
Blitzwing and Skywarp survey the new crater, with Blitzwing believing the base and what they did there made them stop being Decepticons and it "deserves to be buried". At which point an enraged Megatron smashes his way out, to the panic of every Transformer in the area. Skywarp tries to talk Megatron, but is downed with a single fusion cannon shot. Blitzwing engages him, but is instead grabbed by his cannon and smashed against the ground. Bumblebee and Ratchet flee back to the Ark-19, knowing Megatron is out of their league. Fortunately for them, the Autobots aren't even on Megatron's radar. He has someone else to destroy...
The Autobots report the data they gained to Prowl, as Ratchet relays his theory on what is going on—Starscream's cell found a new variant of Energon they could directly apply to their systems. Quickly exhausting the seam, they abandoned the bunker for a new one in Oregon (which had a richer seam) and engaged Siege Mode to protect what they had. Megatron is here to "put his house in order", and nobody can tell how powerful Starscream's cell may have become...
