Starscream flies over to a forsaken theme park. He transforms back into his robot form and lands on the ground. He's holding a huge Predacon bone in both of his servos.

He walk inside the theme park, where Shockwave's other laboratory is. More underdeveloped Predacons are floating inside tubes of CNA. Starscream puts done the the Predacon bone and looks at Shockwave, who's typing on a computer.

"I have returned, partner. I trust you haven't strained yourself tinkering in your lab while I was toiling in the field like a common drone? I mean, I seem to supply old bones faster than you grow new ones." said Starscream.

Shockwave turns around to face the cowardly Decepticon.

"Starscream. Given our lack of infrastructure and frequent need to relocate in order to avoid detection, it is not logical to expect greater productivity at this point in time." Shockwave pointed out.

"At least your new clones lack the arrogance of your last effort, the one who named himself 'Predaking'." Starscream retorts.

The two beast-like robots arrived in the laboratory. The grey robot accidentally knocked over some cubes of energon. Starscream angrily walks up to them.

"Be careful, you clumsy brutes! Where have you been?"

"Gutting Autobots." the grey boy replied.

The dark blue rbot chuckled in amusement.

"What?! You were ordered to avoid all contact with the enemy!" Starscream yelled.

He shocks the two Predacons with the electric prob, causing them to cry out in pain.

"I don't hear you laughing now, Darksteel."

"We weren't followed." said Darksteel.

"Fools! Now that they know of your existence, we have lost the element of surprise!" Starscream called out.

He points the electric prob at the grey robot.

"The Autobots are weak." Darksteel chuckled.

"They fled like cowards. We have no need to fear them." the grey robot claimed.

"Perhaps, Skylynx. But we must not underestimate them, either. Their treacherous scout was able to fell the mighty Megatron, rest his spark." Starscream points out.

"As such, it is paramount that we harvest the CNA necessary to clone more of you. Many more of you." Shockwave added.

"So that we may build an army of beasts great enough to eradicate the Autobots and conquer Cybertron, in Lord Megatron's memory and name." Starscream finished.

He smirks evilly. Meanwhile, Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Arcee, Periwinkle, and Bulkhead drive on a bridge towards Darkmount.

"What makes you think we'll find Shockwave's cloning lab here?" Arcee asked.

"Yeah, wasn't Darkmount Megatron's military HQ?" Smokescreen asked.

"If the intel I received from Knockout is accurate, we'll find a map of Shockwave's entire lab network in the Citadel's databank." Bumblebee claimed.

They arrived at Darkmount and transformed back into their robot forms. Meanwhile in Theta Scorpii, Ultra Magnus' ship floats in a cluster of asteroids. Inside the ship, Wheeljack noticed the radar beeping as it shows that something is going to happen.

"Not good." said Wheeljack.

Optimus continues to fly through the cluster of asteroids. He stops when he sees a vessel, which contains the AllSpark.
