Thunderwing is coming home...

Synopsis

As Thunderwing speeds through hyperspace toward Cybertron, Optimus Prime and the Wreckers frantically prepare for his arrival. They're not the only ones; under Megatron's orders, the Predacons aboard the Decepticon warship Thanatos prepare to bombard Cybertron from orbit in order to destroy Thunderwing once and for all, though Razorclaw harbors reservations. As the Autobots engage Thunderwing, Razorclaw orders Divebomb to take a group of Decepticons and fight alongside the Wreckers.

Jetfire finally uncovers an item in Bludgeon's files; if Thunderwing is subjected to a massive assault, he will drain his supply of Ultra-Energon ever faster. Dogfight reprograms Bludgeon's remaining Centurion drones (of which there are many), adding to the combined Transformers' firepower. As the drones are destroyed and Razorclaw orders his Decepticons back, Optimus Prime moves in, blasting Thunderwing until he runs out of energon. Razorclaw cancels his warship's bombing run at the last second.

Returning to the Autobot command hub aboard Ark-27, Optimus Prime receives a communiqué from Jetfire, who has uncovered further information in Bludgeon's files—a Decepticon plan, Regenesis, involving a planet called Earth. Connecting this information with the update he received from Prowl's unit, Prime orders a change of course.
