As the rest of the Autobots attacked the Decepticons and the Dead Titan, Optimus raced to the core of Cybertron. Megatron was already on the bridge between the core and the edge of the chamber before Prime shot him in the shoulder from behind. Megatron fell down as Prime launched himself at the leader of Decepticons as Megatron stood up and growled at Prime, "You are a fool Brother! Shockwave is messing with you! He's been possessed by-" Megatron fired at Prime but the bot rolled and kicked Megatron back. Prime grabbed Megatron and slammed his face into the ground.
Elita shook Grimlock as Thundercracker gave him a light zap of power. The Dinobot launched right to his feet as he grunted, "ME GRIMLOCK NEED TO HELP PRIME!" He transformed and ran deeper into the planet. Everyone else transformed and flew or drove right with him.
Prime activated his ax as he swung at Megatron's mace. The con spun it to get more speed and power but the Prime wasted no time going for the con, slicing and stabbing at him. Megatron slammed the mace into the ground but Optimus narrowly dodged the strike as he sliced Megatron's chest. The Tyrant growled as he brought the mace up and whipped it at Prime who went rolling back and nearly fell off the bridge. Megatron limped to him and almost brought the mace down but Optimus put his ax away and rolled off the bridge, swinging under it and kicking Megatron off. He then ran towards Shockwave but Megatron grabbed Prime, pulling him back and away from the possessed scientist.
The Dead Titan raised its hands as it began to tear Cybertron apart. Scrapper stopped fighting as he glared at the titan, "Damn it Megatron... what have you done...?" He turned to the other constructicons, "CONSTRUCTICONS! MERGE AND FORM DEVASTOR!" They combined as Devastator grabbed his gun and started firing at the titan. A few Decepticons turned their guns to the titan, firing at the beast as Brawn got up and grunted, "Now ya see how insane your leader is!?" Skywarp looked at him and hung his head slightly as he nodded, "Yes. We have to work together." He flew up with Brawn as they fired at the Titan. It was about to fire back until Devastator punched it in the back of it's knee articulator, causing the titan to fall. Jazz ran up it's arm as he smirked. He jumped and blasted it's optics before falling. Skywarp caught him, "Don't ask! We gotta save Cybertron!" Jazz nodded as Hound, Bluestreak and Mirage fired their missiles at it's face. The Stunticons watched as they questioned what was happening.
Prime got thrown into a wall by Megatron as the Decepticon kicked him back into a corner. Shockwave walked to the core as he chuckled "At Last Brother... Your time has come..." He almost raised his hands before Prime fired at him and brought Megatron to the ground. Shockwave pushed the two away from the core as he raised his hands and purple lightning began forming around him. The Autobots and Decepticons made it to the core as Prime punched Megatron into the ground. He rushed to Shockwave and saw that he was tearing the planet apart. "Holy shit!" Buster looked around at some portals opening. There was some shadows in them of various transformers. Thundercracker ran with Grimlock to help Prime. "Keep Megatron busy!" Prime shouted. Grimlock tackled the Tyrant off the main bridge as they punched each other. Prime sighed as Hot Rod ran over, "What do we do!?"
"Keep Cybertron safe Hot Rod..." Prime opened his chest as he fired at Shockwave. The con howled in pain as he turned to Prime, "If Dark Cybertron fails... I will still arrive... Your worlds will die..." Prime fired more power as Shockwave fell to the ground. The portals began closing as Hot Rod watched Optimus save the universe. Shockwave's armor began folding as he grunted and screamed in pain. A shadow loomed over everyone of a planet with weird looking rings... or just one ring... Optimus began to shake as his armor kept changing from purple, to white, to black and grey, to black and teal, and back to red, "THE POWER OF PRIMUS COMPELS YOU TO LEAVE HIS BODY!" Shockwave had some sort of black goo leave his body. It latched on to Optimus as the Matrix fell from Prime's chest. A massive bright light engulfed the two as Cybertron healed and snapped together. When the light faded, Optimus was gone. Hot Rod took the Matrix and put it in his chest. He panted and looked around "Prime!? Optimus!!! Thundercracker looked with him as Elita searched the grounds. "He's gone..."
"Ugh..." Shockwave slowly stood up as he looked at everyone, "How did I get here...?" Megatron flew up and landed, "My plan..." Grimlock grabbed him, "Your plan failed! Stupid Megatron! Me Grimlock say Optimus saved us all, you could have killed Cybertron!"
Megatron tried to break free but Grimlock just slammed him into the ground. "Megatron is unfit for leadership! You used to care about us Decepticons but this was too far!" Thundercracker tore off his Decepticon badge, "I will no longer be apart of this cause!" He threw it down on the ground. Deadlock walked up and threw his badge down, "I thought we were gonna make a difference... Not destroy our home..." a few other cons threw their badges down and walked out. The Constructicons walked over and took their badges off, "No More, Megatron... You failed Cybertron..." Scrapper spoke as he walked out and away from the scene. The other constructicons followed with him. Grimlock let Megatron go as everyone e pulled their guns on him, "You are hereby banished from Cybertron... If you return again, we shall not wait to execute you..." Elita spoke as she glared at him, "So long Gladiator..." Megatron flew out with the rest of his questionable loyalists as they got their ship up and running. They loaded on to it and before Megatron could sit on his captain's chair, Barricade walked up, "Sorry sir but you are unfit for this chair... We have elected Starscream as Acting Captain and leader of the Decepticons..." Megatron almost punched him but Starscream hit him with a null-ray, causing Megatron to hunch over in pain, "Sorry Megatron... But this must be done..." he sat in the throne, "Set course for the planet of Char. We shall establish a base there." Soundwave nodded and set a course in as they left Cybertron.
