(3rd POV Inside the Decepticon warship)

"Such a shame, but I applaud you Megatron. You certainly made a grand exit. Ah, Soundwave, cue the audio-visual. I wish to address the troops. The loss of Megatron, leader of the great Decepticon Uprising, is certainly a blow to our cause. Yet, we musn't despair to his tragic demise, but instead, embrace his ultimate sacrifice, and build upon the foundation he laid, with an even mightier hand." Starscream announced.

"With all due respect Commander Sta- uh, Lord Starscream." said a Vehicon.

"Yes yes, what is it?" Starscream asked.

"If we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command, what hope do we have now while the Autobots still defend it?" the Vehicon asked.

"Allow me to be crystal clear, I studied millenia under our former master, thus I am equipped to lead you. I, Megatron's true heir, Lord Starscream, emperor of destruction. Agh, what use are troops who can't rise to the task of inflicting unspeakable destruction in my name? But wait, legend tells of one capable warrior, one who exists here, upon this very planet. One who can be student to my master." Starscream explained.

Meanwhile at the Base, Rachet noticed that something is wrong with Optimus.

"Optimus, why so glum? This planet, all planets are finally free from Megatron's tyranny." Rachet tells him.

"I do not disagree, Ratchet. It's just, a small part of me hoped to change Megatron's mind, not extinguish his spark." Optimus tells the orange medic.

"Optimus, his vileness was not slain by your hand, but by his own twisted arrogance. I'm sorry, I know the two of you had quite a history." Rachet pointed out, then apologized.

"But the Megatron I once fought beside perished eons ago. The day he chose to become a Decepticon. The Decepticons may be in dissarray, but they aren't without leadership. And while Starscream is no Megatron, he is far from predictable." Optimus explained.

Suddenly an explosion irrupted the Base.

"Decepticons, we're under attack!" Rachet yelled.

He and Optimus run towards where the explosion occured. They see Raf and Bumblebee next to a fake volcano. Raf coughs from the smoke.

"It's no attack Ratchet, it's my volcano." Raf reassured. The fake volcano melts. "Was."

From the other side Bulkhead is holding a model of fake plants. Miko is painting on one of them.

"Hold still Bulkhead, Jupiter needs its red spot." Miko tells him.

She winse at drops of paint fall on the floor. Rachet turns to see Lydia mixing chemicals in a Beaker while a pot is beside her. Periwinkle is next to her.

"Pera, can you hand me the Phosphorus?" Lydia asked. Periwinkle gently holds a green bottle, only to spill some on the floor.

"Great Primus! I'm so sorry!" Periwinkle apologized.

"That's okay. There's still enough for the project." Lydia reassured.

"What in the All Spark is going on here?" Rachet asked.

Arcee is helping Jack building a motorcycle.

"Our projects are due tomorrow." Jack answered. Arcee picks up an object and shows it to Jack.

"Maybe it needs one of these doohickeys?" Arcee wondered.

"You're a motorcycle Arcee, shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" Jack asked sassily.
