Summary
As Optimus lies defeated, Megatron stands gloating over his nemesis. To add insult to injury, Megatron has taken a new body...Primal's Optimal body, minus the beast mode. And, to make it just right, Megatron then adds the sparks of the Maximals to the spark containment chamber. Enraged, Optimus fights back, breaking out, where he sees the sparkless bodies of Cheetor, Silverbolt, and Blackarachnia. As Megatron attacks, Primal flees to a power generator storage area, where he destroys several, causing Megatron to lose an arm. As Primal to a nearby river, he dives, only to have Megatron shot a hole in the ground, causing them to sink into a whirlpool.
As Optimus wakes up, he realizes he is in the chamber of the Oracle. However, the technorganic orchard has been razed, and he sees Rattrap and Botanica lying on the ground. Megatron then arrives, and takes him to the surface. Heading toward the Council Citadel, Megatron activates a throne built into the Citadel to appear, then opens the spark chamber, absorbing the sparks and preparing to ascend to supplant the Matrix and achieve Godhood. Primal tries to talk, but Megatron then activates the Key to Vector Sigma, to be used against the organic core. However, Megatron cannot fully activate the Oracle, as he and Primal are linked. Megatron then severs the link, and Primal fears that he has failed. However, the sparks of his comrades speak to him, inspiring him on. Shooting two seeds near Megatron's arms, Primal then tries to knock him into the core. However, Megatron grabs hold of Optimus, who merely shoots off Megatron's fingers to sever the vine, allowing them both to fall into the core. At that point, both Optimus and Megatron die in the core. From space, a bright light rises, then begins to cover the surface of Cybertron.
Waking up, the Maximals find themselves in an organic world, which they realize is Cybertron. Rattrap is somewhat worried, then Botanica appears, and he jumps into her arms. As Silverbolt sweeps Blackarachnia off her feet, Waspinator appears as a tiny, technorganic wasp, pissed that he's been screwed over again. Then, the Oracle shows Cheetor a vision of Optimus Primal's spark, flying away, telling him to "transform, and transcend". As it fades, Cheetor mutters that he understands. In the distance, the freed Transformers, their sparks once again in bodies, run over the horizon, ready to assume control of the newly technorganic Cybertron.
