![]() "Without me to lead them, they were forced to deplorable lengths to defeat the future Decepticon - Galvatron. ![]() ![]() (Characters in italic text appear only on video screens or in flashbacks.) only to discover the dead body of their leader, ripped to shreds! and when Optimus looks up a moment later, he can only cry out as the Predacons come bearing down on him!Ī short while later, unaware that Prime has been in any real danger, Wheeljack leads the Autobots in search of him. After briefly deliberating amongst themselves, the Predacons decide that now is the time to put Shockwave's plan into motion. The Predacons separate, and Megatron orders them to finish Prime off. Hoping to buy time until the other Autobots come running in response to the phony alarm he has already asked Wheeljack to raise, Prime doubles back to his trailer, hoping the mysterious cargo within can help-but unfortunately, Megatron is waiting for him! Prime manages to dodge a shot from the Decepticon's fusion cannon, but the blast collides with his trailer, and as Prime's trailer is a part of him, the pain he feels through it brings him to his knees. Unfortunately, Prime soon discovers the Predacons' hidden power when they pull themselves together and reveal that they are a combiner team, as they merge into the titanic Predaking! Prime flees into the wilderness, and even with his weapon destroyed and his communicator broken, he manages to give a good account of himself: he defeats Razorclaw and Rampage with his bare hands, and when Tantrum and Headstrong come charging at him from opposite sides, he evades their horns by leaping up and hitching a ride with Divebomb hovering above. Wanting to see Prime squirm, Megatron gives him a ten-minute head start before sending the Predacons after him. Seeing his opportunity, Megatron immediately leads the Predacons in ambushing the unsuspecting Autobot leader! With a special cargo prepared by Wheeljack loaded into his trailer, Prime instructs the inventor to wait two hours, then inform the other Autobots that their leader is in "danger." Unfortunately, Prime has no way of knowing of the real danger that lurks ahead-his departure from the Ark is observed by Laserbeak, who quickly relays to Megatron the news that Prime is alone and vulnerable. ![]() But Shockwave has personal reasons for wanting the Predacons on Earth, and once the hunters have arrived, he informs them of his secret plan, which they agree to go along with.īack at the Ark, Optimus announces that he is going on a reconnaissance mission, leading to loud objections from Prowl and the other Autobots that only serve to strengthen Prime's resolve to test their ability to fend for themselves. Having recently gained insight into Prime's character during the time they spent together in limbo, Shockwave concocts a plan to destroy Optimus and Megatron both, and instructs Soundwave to suggest to Megatron that he summon the Decepticons' fiercest hunters, the Predacons, from Cybertron to help him hunt Prime down. Meanwhile, at the Decepticons' Wyoming base, Megatron is growing increasingly paranoid about Optimus Prime, and assaults Motormaster for daring to suggest that he and his Stunticons are capable of defeating the Autobot leader. Worried that they would be unable to cope if anything happened to him in the future, Prime hits upon an idea to test his troops, and calls upon Wheeljack to help him put it into action. Having been trapped in Limbo during this affair, Prime is concerned to realise that the Autobots were so lost without him to lead them that they were willing to forge an alliance with Megatron. Optimus Prime reviews recent events that have transpired on Earth, including the arrival of new Decepticons via their space bridge, and the Autobots' clash with the time-travelling Galvatron.
