Synopsis
Autobot security escorts Starscream away from the other detained Decepticons held in the Kaon holding cells. They take Starscream to stand before the Council of the district, to whome Starscream delivers a message: Everything that has happened is the council's fault. As punishment for their sins, Starscream and Soundwave, destroy the council.

The next stage in Megatron's master plan carried out by Starscream is to free all the inmates. Starscream releases them all, the criminals holding no prior association with Megatron being liberated into his new army. Soundwave provides armaments, and Starscream introduces Megatron to a new arm-mounted canon.

In an area inhabited by Cybertron's high-class, snooty recretation comes to an end when Skywarp and Thundercracker fire upon an airborn vessel, causing it to crash bellow, destroying an incredible amount on the way down.

Soundwave meets with his boss, Senator Ratbat. The senator admits that not only did he aid Megatron's cause by supplying arms, he also was the one who arranged for Megatron to be removed from the mining opperation he was originally working in. Now that Megatron's forces have destabilized the area, the senator embezzles what he can. Soundwave however kills Ratbat, takes that which Ratbat has embezzled and seals his spark inside of a frame. Evidently, Soundwave prefers Megatron as his new boss.

Sentinel Prime fights with other Autobots to retake Kaon from the rioting rebellion, blasting Motormaster out of the way easily. Deeper, Sentinel Prime brings his incredible assortment of firepower (on his Apex System) head to head against Megatron. An incredible explosion blasts Megatron out of sight.

Sentinel Prime radios to the other Autobots that he's created a route that can be used to fight against the enemy. But Hound's tossed body reveals that Megatron still functions. Their struggle takes them over and edge as they battle while discussing Megatron's goal: Megatron wants to transform the world. With a final strike, Megatron kills the Prime.

The other Autobots arrive, following Sentinel Prime. They find their leader's body. Prowl, becoming the interim leader by default, orders retreat.

Megatron sits on his throne and discuses the victory with Soundwave. Now that Kaon has been taken, the next step is clear: The rest of Cybertron shall be conquered.
