As they separate into the Neo-Autobots, they share a happy, and funny, reunion. 

Then, the Maximals join in on the fun. This is the first time Nyx and Kid Devil see the Neo-Autobots with Drago in person, and she's never been excited to see them in her life.

Nyx: "So this is Drago's OG Team: the Neo-Autobots? So cool!!!"

Kid Devil: "I've waited megacycles for this!"

Sure, they're back together after all these years, but Drud and DragoGirl are still fighting against Non and Faora, so that means Zod could be alive. 

Sharkbite: "We should cut the reunion short, he could still be alive?"

Drago: "That's right. Where's Zod?"

Moledive: "And who's Zod?"

Drago: "Well..."

Zod: "DRAGEL!!!!!!"

[Zod screams in rage and turns golden]

Speaking of which, Zod is utterly pissed off and turns into a Golden Dragon to fight Drago.

Zod: "All you had to do was listen to me! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW MY ORDERS!!!"

Drago: "SHUT UP!!! (prepares to do Superman's 2 super moves from both Injustice games) You made me hurt my friends! You made me hurt my family! I won't let you get away with this!"

Zod: "I'LL KILL YOU!"

Non: "I won't let Lord Zod's dream be ruined!"

As Zod unleashes his rage on Drago for betraying the Empire, Non taps into whatever power he has left and gains the upper hand against Drud. 

Non: "Pathetic! After gaining power for so long you've gotten soft! Whereas I, I discarded everything for Lord Zod, in order to gain the power to protect the Empire! I am Non the Juggernaut! No one is stronger than me!"

Drud: "Damn! I know Non was this powerful, but did he have to bulk himself up?"

Non: "Now, disappear along with your trivial ideals!"

Then, Drud awakens something beyond his Blue Dragon Mode when Non insults his reasons to fight while he discarded everything for loyalty to Zod, even his own pride. 

Drud: "You've forsaken all else and dare to call my cause trivial? I fight for Blazer, my team, the Elite Guard, I fight for the oath I made to a fellow warrior, for my Draconian Pride! I fight for all I've built and for all that I am. Unlike you, I won't abandon all that for some false god!"

Shark: "Druddigon's power level is rising to... that of a Prime."

Non: "What?"

Drud: "I gave my word from one Draconian to another, and I have to keep it! I'll shatter through my limits in my own way, on my own terms! And then Non you will fall by my hand!"

That gives him the ability to surpass his Blue Mode as he remembers his promise to a fellow Draconian, his team, and the one he loves; the ability to turn into a new form of Blue Dragon Mode: "Azure Dragon Mode". 

Drud: "Now, you will finally see... my all!"

The new Azure Druddigon stands against Non and bests him. 

DragoGirl: "What happened to you, Faora? We were training partners back on Dracon! How can you side with Zod after what happened to Dracon?! Why, Faora?!"

Faora: "Complaining in the middle of a fight? You fallen so low, Dragona!"

Then, Faora and DragoGirl settle things as they remember their time training on Dracon before its destruction. 

Zod: "My timing was off on that hit! Did he kick into a higher gear?"

Drago: "Is that all you've got, Zod?"

Drago and Zod's battle rages on as the 2 Golden Dragons clash among Cybertron's surface.

Zod: "I won't forgive you, Dragel! Never! Never!! NEVER!!!!!!"

However, Zod's rage reaches its peak and his Golden Dragon Mode turns into a stain of Darkness. This is what happens when a Golden Draconian turns dark. 

Nyx: "Is that a Golden Dragon?"

Rhinox: "No. Worse."

Even though Golden Dragon Mode was supposed to be achieved if a Draconian warrior is pure of heart, but if it's achieved by unrelenting hatred, it becomes something far more worse: this is "Dark Dragon Mode".

Zod, in his Dark Dragon Mode, summons Doomsday to finish off the Maximals and then the Autobots. 

Zod: "Doomsday, DESTROY!!!!!"

Then, both Optimus Primal and Leonidas Prime stepped in and face Doomsday together. Now, the real battle begins!

Doomsday vs. Optimus Primal and Leonidas Prime, Azure Druddigon vs Berserker Non, DragoGirl vs Faora, DesiRex vs Ursa, and Drago vs Zod. Whoever wins this battle may survive in the end.
