Synopsis
As Thunderwing speeds through hyperspace toward Cybertron, Optimus Prime and the Wreckers frantically prepare for his arrival. They're not the only ones; under Megatron's orders, the Predacons onboard the Decepticon warship Thanatos prepare to bombard Cybertron from orbit in order to destroy Thunderwing once and for all, though Razorclaw harbours reservations. As the Autobots engage Thunderwing, Razorclaw orders Divebomb to take a group of Decepticons and fight alongside the Wreckers.
Jetfire finally uncovers an item in Bludgeon's files; if Thunderwing is subjected to a massive assault, he will drain his supply of Ultra Energon ever faster. Dogfight reprograms Bludgeon's remaining Centurion drones (of which there are many), adding to the combined Transformers' firepower. As the drones are destroyed and Rampage orders his Decepticons back, Optimus Prime moves in, blasting Thunderwing until he runs out of Energon. Rampage cancels his warship's bombing run.
Returning to the Autobot command hub onboard Ark-27, Optimus receives a communique from Jetfire, who has uncovered further information in Bludgeon's files - a Decepticon plan involving a planet called Earth. Connecting this information with the update he received from Prowl's unit, Prime orders a change of course...
