Optimus Prime uses the only weapon he's got at the moment...
Synopsis
Having effortlessly taken out King Poseidon with his Super Jet Mode, Super Megatron threatens to do the same to Optimus Prime. Noting that the power of the Silver Matrix that Optimus holds helped him evolve from Galvatron to his current form, Super Megatron demands the Autobot leader hand it over so that he can become even more powerful. Optimus, being the justice-minded hero he is, refuses, especially as he needs the Silver Matrix to assist in the battle against Unicron. Super Megatron just answers with a blast and ranting that he has transcended his future death, so Optimus, saddened that their apparent mutual respect has fell through, regains his resolve and uses the tool available to him—the Silver Matrix!
With the Silver Matrix's heft, Optimus knocks Super Megatron out of the sky and uses its power to transform into the Star Convoy Z Base Mode. With his weapons, Star Convoy fires on the Decepticon, but the villain retreats to the city, where he grabs two of the planet's native humanoids. To Star Convoy's aghast, Super Megatron threatens to end their lives and use them as sustenance, knowing their potential as an energy source from his future memories, so the Autobot is forced to give up the Silver Matrix. The elated Super Megatron uses the Matrix to further evolve into Ultra Megatron! With his new alternate mode, the Ultra Tank, Ultra Megatron blasts at Star Convoy...

Notes
Continuity notes
- The planet's native lifeforms sure look similar to Beastformers, don't they? Super Megatron's reference to them as energy sources in the future likely refers to Chōkon Power, key to Super-God Masterforce, or specifically to Beast Power, which was introduced as a plot point in this comic's spiritual predecessor, Legends.
- The handshake that Optimus Prime reminisces about took place in "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2".
- The evolution of Super Megatron into Ultra Megatron was a plot point in the original Return of Convoy storyline, and the toy this comic advertises goes lengths to incorporate both Super and Ultra forms as different modes.
Other notes
- This comic was revised shortly after it was uploaded online. Notable changes include the omission of the blood-like substance on Megatron's teeth before nearly chewing the native humanoid.
