The Autobots seek shelter in a mausoleum, only to encounter a resurrected Optimus Prime!

Synopsis

Having only just escaped a Decepticon assault led by Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, Arcee, Ultra Magnus and Spike shelter in an ancient Autobot Mausoleum. As they're pinned down by the Decepticon attack, help comes from an unexpected quarter: the resurrected Optimus Prime! Rodimus returns the Matrix of Leadership to Optimus and reverts to Hot Rod, at which point Optimus turns on them and leaves them stranded on the mausoleum. Returning to Cybertron, Optimus takes the bulk of the Autobot force to stage a full scale attack on a Quintesson base.

Notes

• This is another "dungeon crawl" campaign.
• Not one, not two, but three Optimus Prime cards are available for the taking in this episode. The tier 1 prize is an epic rarity (R6) Optimus, while lower tiers get a R5 evolve Optimus which uses the same art as the R6 card. Even lower tiers get the standard R4 Elite Optimus that you can get through the space bridge already.
• Unlike previous dungeon crawl campaigns, there are no snippets of plot for each of the three campaigns, so we may never know why we have to fight Breakdown, Dirge and Thrust.
• The Autobots might have clued themselves in to the fact that something was up earlier, if they'd noticed that Optimus Prime's license plate now reads "ZOM813".
