The revitalized Hellwarp has the Wreckers on the ropes while Megatron fixates on recapturing SARA.
Synopsis
Hellwarp, the newly reborn Skywarp, quickly adapts to his body's new weapons and attacks the attending Wreckers, who try to adapt to this new, powerful enemy. With the small fry occupied, Megatron tries to retrieve the unconscious SARA, but is faced by Brawn. Concluding that he must have upgraded through the power of SARA as well, Megatron notes that it's still of no consequence compared to his own power. He doesn't have enough time to mock the Autobot when the wayward "Decepticon" Dinobot fiercely bites his former leader. Megatron is far from amused at this turn of events and uses the dinosaur himself to knock Brawn and his attacker away.
Nearby, the Wreckers have seemingly cornered Hellwarp, but the hideous Decepticon flies up into the air, with fliers Whirl and Topspin giving chase. Hellwarp transforms into his alternate mode, revealing a creature unfamiliar to the denizens of Cloud World—a shark. He disappears, suddenly appearing to cut through both Whirl and Topspin, shocking them as they fall to the ground. With his SARA-induced evolution, Hellwarp has mastered his ability to teleport; while Skywarp's range was limited and it required concentration, Hellwarp can freely pop in and out anywhere, as if out of instinct. The three remaining Wreckers catch on to Hellwarp's schtick quickly, but are defenseless against the predator as he pulls Ironfist into his portal. Roadbuster desperately searches for his teammate in vain, only turning to face Hellwarp, sans Ironfist. The Decepticon dropped the poor Autobot off in the extradimensional space used by his ability—it's only fitting that the shark has consigned his enemy to "hell".
Brawn himself falls from a spacetime blast emitted by Megatron's arm. Seeing how his arm itself was damaged by SARA's energy (although it quickly repairs itself), Megatron concludes that his body can't quite contain the full breadth of this power just yet. Dinobot leaps to strike, but finds Megatron's hand around his throat. SARA, awakening, makes eye contact with the hapless dinosaur and a miracle happens. His spark properly free, Dinobot transforms into robot mode and utters his first words... "Me protect her!" Megatron is knocked back by a kick from this new humanoid, and the arriving Shockwave notes that he had erased the beast's transformation and vocal functions—their restoration must be due to SARA.
