Starscream listens to the Golden Disk and learns more than he bargained for. The Nemesis attacks the Ark, leading to an unexpected counterattack.
Synopsis
Inside the Ark, Wheeljack thinks the ship is ready for take-off, but Ratchet strongly disagrees. Rhinox takes Ratchet's side and advises caution. As they debate, Bumblebee arrives on the bridge with excellent news: Optimus Prime has the Allspark, and so they have no time to waste getting back to Cybertron. Wheeljack takes this as a sign to punch the ignition! Suddenly the Ark quakes inside the unstable volcano, jostling around the skeleton crew. Rhinox tries to restore stability, but Teletraan fails to respond. Slamming the control console with his fist, the Ark powers down, and disaster is averted for the time being. Rhinox hears an inaudible mumbling from Teletraan again, which perplexes him.
