Synopsis
Scourge and the Decepticons waste no time in draining oil from the city's cisterns until the Autobot Brothers arrive. In a location containing highly flammable oil, Side Burn tries to threaten the Decepticons into standing down, until a car-carrier bearing the Autobot insignia arrives, unleashing his firepower. He clashes with the Autobots, and in the confusion, the Decepticons escape.
Sky-Byte watches this unfold and mocks the Decepticons before being approached by Koji and his friends, all of whom appear to be his admirers. Escaping back to Predacon headquarters, Sky-Byte is given a new mission—to find the remaining O-Parts.
When Sky-Byte's orders to the other Predacons are relayed to Autobot headquarters, Optimus sends the Autobot Brothers to his location. But it is not long before they encounter the mysterious car-carrier, who, after warning them of a Decepticon ambush, shocks them, incapacitates them, and deposits them in a junkyard.
Mega-Octane and Scourge stand at the top of a canyon overlooking the road, musing on their plan to relay Sky-Byte's message to the Autobots in order to lead them to their prepared ambush. Suddenly, they find themselves facing the car-carrier instead of the intended Autobot Brothers. Upon questioning, the vehicle transforms and introduces himself—Ultra Magnus.
In the ensuing battle, Magnus easily defeats Scourge and the Decepticons, even after they combine into Ruination. After forcibly separating Ruination, Optimus arrives and the Decepticons are thrown into retreat.
Optimus offers Magnus a place on his team, which Magnus rebukes. A startled Optimus asks why Magnus is acting so aggressively, to which Magnus recounts how it was Optimus, not Magnus, who was chosen to carry the Matrix of Leadership. Bitter and vengeful, Magnus challenges Optimus to a duel over its keeping.
