War for Cybertron
In the closing years of the Great War, the Decepticons staged a daring raid against an orbital space station above their homeworld that was rumored to contain a powerful, dangerous energy source known as Dark Energon. After Megatron gained control of the facility and his new Sky Commander Starscream activated the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge, Dark Energon began flowing into the Decepticon ranks. Seeking to gain complete control over Cybertron, Megatron sought access to the Core of the planet itself; however, the way was blocked by the massive Omega Gate. Unable to pierce the defenses even with his newly-empowered forces, Megatron realized that he had to find the Omega Key to complete his plans.
Unfortunately, the Key was in the hands of the Autobots—specifically their leader, Zeta Prime. Thus, the Decepticons laid siege to Iacon itself, where Megatron successfully defeated Zeta Prime and took the Key from him. To his surprise, the key started to blink and beep, prompting a laughing Zeta Prime to reveal the truth: the Key's activation only awakened its Guardian - Omega Supreme - and he was coming to attack Megatron.
Since the Key would lead them to Omega Supreme, the three Decepticons boarded a dropship to search Iacon, only for Omega Supreme to find them. Having finally discovered the true key to the Omega Gate, and recognizing that Omega Supreme would pursue him, Megatron discarded the Omega Key. War for Cybertron
