Without another word, he takes the gun offered to him by Kup and bashes his way into the engine room. Turning to look the other Autobots in the eyes, Prime realizes his security officer isn't half wrong. Kup lays this all on Optimus Prime's head and goes so far as to threaten to invoke the Crisis Act and relieve him of command after this incident and Optimus's decision to surrender the Autobots to Scorponok, Kup is sure many of the crew would back him in that action. The fusion creature has damaged Sureshot and sealed itself in the engine room, creating serious wreckage out of critical systems just as the Ark is beginning to make planetfall to meet the Decepticons for the surrender. The creature is rotting away, yet somehow still capable of animation, and gives Grimlock a meager fight before it is too damaged to continue struggling.īack on the Ark, things have gotten worse. With a local mechanoid as his guide and comic-relief sidekick, Grimlock is forced to endure another round of blatant exposition until, mercifully, the "dumb guide" is chased off by one of the Hydrusian mechanoids who has been driven mad by the Nucleon. Meanwhile, on Hydrus Four, Grimlock begins his search for the well of Nucleon. As Ark security officer, Kup insists the creature is too much of a threat to everyone on board the longer it remains functional, and yet Optimus cannot choose to throw away his friend's life so wantonly after just getting him back, whatever his condition. Before the discussion can heat up from there, "Megatron" rams through the Autobots, leaving them stunned.Īs Kup gets up to pursue the creature, Optimus Prime picks up Nightbeat's side of the conversation and the two begin to debate the survival of Ratchet versus the danger of Megatron. As Nightbeat explains the situation, Kup has to question whether Ratchet would even WANT to go on living in his current condition. Before any more damage can be done, though, Nightbeat disarms his fellow Autobot and forces him to take a second look-at Ratchet. His distraction gives Megatron an opening to belt Optimus Prime in the face, and Kup then fires on the Decepticon. The unreality of the moment ends when Kup enters the room and, seeing the Megatron side of the creature, takes aim with his laser. With the hideous fusion of Megatron and Ratchet having been retrieved from unspace and deposited before them, the only word which can describe the feelings of the assembled Autobots is shock.
