Finally, a showdown between Galvatron and Starscream.
Synopsis
With the Omega Lock and Cyber Planet Keys in their possession, the Autobots open up the skies, ready to save the universe and return the kids to their families. (Scourge and Snarl go home.) Galvatron has other ideas, though, and trouncing the competition, he steals the Lock and makes a break for it. One obstacle remains in his way, however: He is stopped by Starscream, hopped up on more energy than he could ever have anticipated, and in the ensuing battle, he is nearly laid low by the traitorous Decepticon.
However, Galvatron utterly refuses to admit defeat, and gaining a second wind, he strikes back, meeting his opponent in a cataclysmic clash that leaves only Galvatron standing - hovering battered in the air, but with the Lock back in his possession, and with designs on the universe at large. He heads off to do what he does best, leaving a collapsing Space Bridge and a trio of now-desperate children behind him.
