Skyfall and Landquake arrive in a new universe and face a frightening new enemy.
Synopsis
Awakening on a strange organic planet, Skyfall and Landquake find themselves staring down the fusion cannon of Megatron, delighted to have a gift delivered to him from nowhere. Before he can actually take the shot, however, the group known as RUNT blast Megatron's backside, angering the Decepticon leader. While Megatron is distracted with vaporizing the humans, Skyfall rouses Landquake to his senses; the Decepticon, however, does not seem to recognize this being as Megatron, and questions where they are. Skyfall ignores this, and pleads with him to help save the humans.
Meanwhile, Megatron, having torn apart most of the machines, begins firing on the fleeing humans. Skyfall interrupts his attack, telling the humans to escape while he holds Megatron off, and as the RUNTS radio in for back up, Megatron fires his fusion cannon, which is somehow able to pierce Skyfall's forcefield. Skidding back to Landquake, the damaged Skyfall pleads with him to help, but just as Megatron is about to disintegrate the Velocitronian, Megatron is blasted in the head. Megatron scowls as Optimus orders Mirage to help with the humans, as Prime and the rest deal with Megatron...

Notes
- After Megatron introduces himself, Skyfall assumes this is the Megatron from his own universe, since he has probably only heard of him. Landquake, having served under that other Megatron for years, is merely confused, wondering where he is. Neither seem to know (yet) that they dimension-hopped.
- Megatron's orange is colored as gold instead. That sucks.
- The RUNTs may be the successors to the RAAT, the military task force dedicated to destroying the Transformers. The R.A.A.T. program was ended, and it seems that this group is working with the Autobots.
- Skyfall's forcefield power fails him for the first time due to a direct shot from Megatron's cannon. As Skyfall says, "that guy hits amazingly hard."
- And finally, of course, Prime and his Autobots are in their Classics bodies.
