It was a cloudy day at Sumdac tower, when Ratchet, Sari and the members of the Elite Guard were trying to calibrate the newly constructed space bridge properly to begin the hunt for Omega Supreme. Unfortunately, the notes that Bulkhead left for them leaves something to be desired. Ratchet: "How does someone like Bulkhead understand these notes?" Sari: "Yeah... it's a mystery..." Jazz: "Goes to show that there's more to him than meets the eye." Ironhide: "Yeah." Ultra Magnus: "Let's just hope we'll be able to get back to Cybertron and warn the council of Shockwave and that Megatron has gotten Omega Supreme." that was when Captain Fanzone came to the scene, talking to someone on the phone before the call was cut off. Captain Fanzone: "Ah!, the only thing I hate more than machines is tech support for machines!, where's Sumdac?, I need him now!" Ratchet: "About what?" Sentinel Prime: "Why do you need that organic now?" before the captain could answer, some mini helicopter security drones appeared and started shooting at him. Captain Fanzone: "Does this answer your question?!" that was when the space bridge activated, showing a signal of Omega Supreme. Ratchet: "Well look at that, Bulkhead's space bridge found him." Captain Fanzone: "Hello?!, a little help here?!" yelled the police captain, before he found the exosuit, putting himself inside it, just before getting sucked into the space bridge. Ratchet: "Okay, that's probably not good." Jazz: "Not in the slightest brother..." Ironhide: "Should we go after him?" Sari: "Of course we should!" Sentinel Prime: "Why would we do that?" Ratchet: "Cause it seems that Omega Supreme is somewhere at Cybertron." Sentinel Prime: "Then what are we waiting for?, time to get off this hunk of rock!" said Sentinel, before he and the other members of the Elite Guard, and Ratchet, jumped into the space bridge and went after the human police captain. A few moments later, Captain Fanzone woke up and sees that he was in the middle of a city made of metal... along with lots of Autobots that freaked out by the sight of him, and they tried to stomp on him, until Ultra Magnus came and told them to stop, saying that the human means no harm. Captain Fanzone: "Unbelievable... of all places I ended up... it's a planet full of robots..." Sentinel Prime: "Believe me, having you here is no picnic for me either..." Ironhide: "You said that Omega Supreme is here... but... where is he?" Jazz: "Hey bots... I think I found him..." said Jazz, pointing up at Omega Supreme, who was hovering above the planet. Ratchet: "Well it looks like we found him..." Captain Fanzone: "Whoa... I was told he was big... but I didn't think he would be... that big..." Ratchet: "Well he does transforms into a ship after all." Captain Fanzone: "So now what?" Sentinel Prime: "I say we fire Omega Supreme!, if we do that, then we can end Megatron once and for all." Ratchet: "Are you out of your processor?!, Omega Supreme is a fellow Autobot and friend!, and besides, with the so much Transwarp energy he has absorbed from the Decepticons' space bridge, blowing him up will unleash a Transwarp explosion that will destroy the entire planet with him!" Ultra Magnus: "He's right, we can't risk it." Sentinel Prime: "Well we can't let the Decepticons attack Cybertron either, and they got Omega Supreme, they'll use him to take us down." Jazz: "Maybe, but if they wanna do that, they would have done it already, but they're just floating up there, ya dig?" Ratchet: "My guess is that they haven't figured out how to get the weapons online yet... but it's only a matter of time before they do..." Sari: "I can fly up there and try to regain control over him." Ultra Magnus: "That might not be a good idea right now." Sari: "Why not?" Ultra Magnus: "Well you see, we know you're an Autobot now, but that info has not come to Cybertron, so if you fly up to Omega Supreme, the Autobots here will mistake you for a Decepticon and try to shoot you down, and even if you do get inside Omega Supreme, there is still Megatron and Starscream to deal with... and I doubt you'll be able to take them both on by yourself." Ratchet: "And another thing, I'm the one that Omega trusts the most... so I'll be the one to talk to him, he'll listen to me." Shockwave: "Too bad you won't get the chance for that." said Shockwave, who came to the scene and the Elite Guard, Sari and Ratchet turned around to see him. Ratchet: "Shockwave..." Captain Fanzone: "I'm guessing he's the Decepticon spy you told me about?" Ratchet: "I'm afraid so..." Shockwave: "Well look who has finally returned to Cybertron... the Elite Guard, the old medic... and the traitor." Sari: "I'm no traitor... I'm an Autobot now." Shockwave: "Hmm... I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you would have Autobot traits in you... after all... you did came from one of the Autobot Protoforms that we stole long ago during the Great War..." Sari: "... What?" Shockwave: "Oh... that's right... you never knew... we stole the Autobot Protoforms from the Cyber Ninja Dojo and used a piece of our own sparks to bring them online... like you were brought online by a fragment of Starscream's own spark..." Sari: "So then... I was really an Autobot all along...?, and got a piece of Starscream's spark that reprogrammed me to be a Decepticon?!" Shockwave: "Well of course, how else did you think we were able to create a new generation of Decepticons when the AllSpark was lost after so many Staler Cycles?" said Shockwave, which made Sari feel nothing but shock, finding out that her old life was a lie all this time. Ratchet: "Listen kid, it doesn't matter where you came from that makes you who you are... it's who you choose to be." Sari: "Yeah... I guess you're right... and I choose to be an Autobot, so I can protect my friends and take down bad bots like him!" shouted Sari, before she charges towards Shockwave, who made his legs extended to make him taller and Sari missed him, much to her surprise. Shockwave: "Did you never put a thought of how I got my Autobot name... Long-Arm?" Sari: "Well... I know that you're about be called a scrap pile when I'm done with ya!" said Sari, before she fires her Null Ray blasters at the Decepticon, only to miss when Shockwave used one of his arms to swat her arm away from him. Shockwave: "As much as I want to destroy you now, my leader is waiting for me, and once I get into Omega Supreme, the ultimate Decepticon project that involves both the planet called Earth and Cybertron will begin." Captain Fanzone: "Not on my watch!" called out Captain Fanzone, who then tried to use the suit to punch Shockwave on the leg, which didn't do much against the Decepticon of course, and Shockwave nearly stomped on him when Jazz and Ironhide saved the human just in the nick of time. Ultra Magnus was about to summon some lightning from his hammer to zap Shockwave, when Starscream came to the scene and picked up Shockwave and the pair of Decepticons flew away from the Autobots and back inside Omega Supreme before the lightning could hit the target. Sentinel Prime: "Hey... that was Starscream!" Ratchet: "And he's got Shockwave, which means they're about to leave any cycle now..." said Ratchet, before Sentinel Prime uses his Com-link to make a call to The Elite Guard HQ. Sentinel Prime: "Elite Guard HQ, this is Sentinel Prime!, this is a direct order!, take down Omega Supreme!" Ratchet: "What?!, you'll blow us up with him!" Captain Fanzone: "Ugh... this is why I hate machines!... certain machines more than others..." said Captain Fanzone, before the weapon systems of the Elite Guard HQ fired at Omega Supreme. However, before the blasts could hit Omega Supreme, the giant Autobot uses his Transwarp energy to Transwarp away from the scene, preventing himself and Cybertron from blowing up. Later, Ultra Magnus was putting Sentinel Prime on trial, and Ratchet, Sari, Jazz, Ironhide and Captain Fanzone were there as witnesses. Ultra Magnus: "Sentinel Prime... of all the reckless stunts in the history of Cybertron... you have no doubt made the biggest one, not to mention against everything we Autobots stood for." Sentinel Prime: "I was only trying to save Cybertron from the Decepticons..." Ultra Magnus: "Maybe... but that doesn't change the fact you almost destroyed us all... and that action can not go unpunished... therefore... I've decided to exile you to Earth for the rest of your Staler Cycles... with Optimus Prime as your warden." Sentinel Prime: "What?!, you can't be serious!" Ultra Magnus: "I am... and as for Ratchet and Sari, you two should go to Earth and find out what Megatron is planning with Omega Supreme and stop him." Ratchet: "Yes sir." Sari: "Roger that." Jazz: "Hey Ultra Magnus sir?, would it be okay if I go back to Earth too?, I'm sure OP and his team will need all the help they can get." Ironhide: "I should go too sir." Ultra Magnus: "Very well, you two shall go as well, as for me... I shall remain here and try to restore order on Cybertron and give them the update on what has occurred on the planet Earth, and one more thing... said Ultra Magnus, before he gives his hammer to the old medic bot. Ratchet: "Sir?" Ultra Magnus: "I do believe that Optimus Prime will need it for the upcoming battle on Earth." said Ultra Magnus, before Ratchet and the other Autobots, including Captain Fanzone, went to the Space bridge station and got themselves Transwarped back to Earth, on top of Sumdac Tower again. Sentinel Prime: "I can't believe this... I finally got the chance to leave this rock... only to come back here... forever..." Jazz: "Could have been worse SP, you could have ended up in the Stockade." Sentinel Prime: "I would have been better off there... at least I would still be on Cybertron..." said Sentinel Prime, before Optimus Prime and the others came to the scene. Optimus Prime: "Ratchet, what happened here?, where's Ultra Magnus?" Bumblebee: "And why is Ratchet carrying the Magnus hammer?" Bulkhead: "Did something happened?" Prowl: "I believe so, right?" Sari: "Well... it's a long story..." Ratchet: "You got that right kid." Meanwhile in space, Omega Supreme Transwarped and landed on the Earth's moon. Megatron: "Starscream, we must locate the remaining Decepticons on the planet and bring them here, this will be the final battle between us and the Autobots."
