Megaempress and her 4 Guards make their move on the restored Cybertron.
Synopsis
Trickdiamond gathers Lunaclub and Moonheart to declare that the time has come to rescue their sealed-away empress, Megaempress. She's irked that they're doing their nefarious plotting in Lunaclub's room, filled as it is with posters and merchandise of Starscream, and Lunaclub protests that it's just because her big sister Moonheart refused to lend them hers. The group's plan is to make their way into Shockwave's base and awaken their leader, as the seal was undone when Cybertron exploded. Moonheart is suspicious of Trickdiamond's presence, seeing as she only cares about money, but Trickdiamond assures her that she too wants to experience Megaempress's greatness. The three fight their way past Shockwave's Sentinels and locate Megaempress, slumbering together with her most loyal soldier, Flowspade. On being awakened, Megaempress requests that they update her on the current state of the Decepticons.
In the year 2021, Megaempress leads her 4 Guards to the battle between Lynxmaster and Grand Galvatron, using her fusion railgun to disassemble the Autobot combiner. Ironhide and Prowl recognize her as the Decepticon empress who once dominated Megatron himself and came close to taking control of the Decepticons before Shockwave sealed her away. Faced with the empress's power, Grand Galvatron's limb components panic and make a run for it, leaving Galvatron and Cyclonus alone with her. Having learned that Galvatron is Megatron, she tells her distressed "husband" that she's back to love him until the end, and that this time, Cybertron will be hers. Meanwhile, Lunaclub chases down and latches onto her own object of affection, Starscream, saying she wants to take over the Decepticons alongside him or better yet, be possessed by him. Starscream is uninterested, refusing her with the arguments that there can only be one leader and that he can't possess other bodies in his current half-ghost form, which prompts the scorned Lunaclub to choke him. Nearby, Moonheart is surrounded by the Autobot Disaster Relief Team...
