At the Decepticon warship, Ratchet types of the computer. Megatron's life signal is shown moving towards the Well of AllSparks on the screen.

"Unicron clearly seeks to access our planet's core from the same point of entry that we used to restore it." Ratchet informed

No doubt, with every intention of undoing our efforts." said Arcee.

"So what do we do?" Bulkhead asked.

"We put ourselves between Unicron's army and the well. Our strongest assets are this
warship and whatever relics might be stored in its vault." Bumblebee replied.

"Last time I looked, just the Polarity Gauntlet and the Immobilizer." said Smokescreen.

"Hopefully, the genuine article this time." Periwinkle hoped.

"I'll go round up the secret weapons." Smokescreen offered.

He starts to walk out of the Bridge towards the vault.

"Bulkhead, think you can pilot this ship?" Bumblebee asked.

"Con engineering. User-friendly, right?" said Bulkhead.

"Ratchet, you've given your all to save this world once already." said Bumblebee.

Bulkhead pilots the warship towards towards the ground. Ratchet gets off the warship while escorting an injured Ultra Magnus, who's still resting on the medical bed. The orange medic watches the warship flying away.

"Where are you taking us? We have a right to know!" Knockout yelled from inside the prison room.

Just then, the door opens and Starscream walks inside the room.

"Greetings, fellow Decepticons." Starscream greeted.

"Starscream?" Shadowblade says in surprise and confusion.

"Thank the stars! We can finally escape this dreaded ship." Knockout says happily.

"No, doctor. We must in fact take this ship,
by whatever means necessary." Starscream snarled.

Meanwhile in the Bridge, Bumblebee checks to see if they have the weapons they need to battle Unicron.

"Primary fusion cannons, null-rays, ion blasters. Everything we need to stand a fighting chance against Unicron's army." said Bumblebee.

"Bee. In case I never get another chance to say this, you've really proved your medal." Arcee praised.

"And that you're more than meets the eye." Periwinkle added.

"I'd like to think my actions always spoke louder than my words, Arcee and Periwinkle. But it didn't hurt to watch and learn from the best." Bumblebee stated.

"Would be nice if Optimus showed up by now." said Arcee.

"I was referring to two fierce and powerful two-wheelers I know." Bumblebee tells them.

Arcee and Periwinkle smiled at him.

"Autobots!" said Starscream.

Bumblebee, Arcee, Periwinkle and Bulkhead turn to see Starscream, Knockout, Shadow and the Vehicons. Starscream and the Vehicons aim their ion blasters at them.

'Surrender this warship!"

Starscream is holding the Immobilizer in his servo. Periwinkle, Bulkhead and Arcee aim their ion blasters at the Decepticons. Starscream points the Immobilizer at Bumblebee. Knockout has the Phase Shifter on his wrist.

"Funny how the Immobilizer can freeze Bots in their tracks, before it's activated." Starscream chuckled.

"Where's Smokescreen? What did you do to him?" Periwinkle asked.
