Optimus steals Kup's thunder.

War Story

The Autobots are taking time out, hanging out at the Valley of Fire State Park with the three kids. Raf has been researching the park by reading the guidebook, which prompts Miko to nag Optimus Prime to tell them a story from the war. Prime decides to tell them about one time when Megatron was brave and compassionate. No, really.

It is the middle of the war, and the Decepticons have conquered city-state after city-state. Their next target is Iacon, and soon a small team led by Megatron himself invades the Iacon Energon Refinery. No sooner has Megatron planted the first explosive than Soundwave alerts him to the fact they've been spotted. The team dives for cover as they're fired on. Megatron tells his men to flank left and right, but Optimus has already anticipated this move, and the three Decepticons are gunned down.
Not ready to give up, Megatron tosses Soundwave a bomb to plant and then goes to distract the Autobots by shooting at them. While several of the Autobots are gunned down, Optimus manages to hit Soundwave as the Decepticon runs to plant the bomb. He expects Megatron to retreat, but is surprised when instead Megatron mounts a rescue mission, firing on the Autobots while helping up the wounded Decepticons. As Megatron's team begins to withdraw, Optimus has a clear shot at the Decepticon leader's back, but hesitates... and Megatron sets off the one bomb that got planted. The Decepticons escape in the aftermath of the explosion and Optimus cops the blame.

Miko is unimpressed that Optimus let Megatron escape, but Optimus believes he upheld the true values of Cybertron, and next time he gets the chance, Megatron won't be so lucky.
