Every Autobot had assembled at the Space Bridge. The Aerialbots were supplying air patrol. Optimus Prime decided to launch one final attack on the Decepticons. The other Autobots were worried about their leader. He had never acted so hastily in all the time they had known him. While the Aerialbots were flying overhead, the Dinobots were patrolling the ground. Jazz was off in his own world. He had never seen Optimus act like this before. He had been Optimus' advisor for so many years. He was always able to talk Prime out of making hasty decisions, but this time he was unable to. Jazz realized that Optimus was drained both physically and emotionally. He had been through so much the last few days. The Autobots had lost Mirage to a savage attack from Devastator. The Decepticons had captured Wheeljack and nobody knew what had happened to Inferno, Seaspray, Huffer, and Tracks. They had been assigned to guard the Space Bridge from Decepticon attack and had not been heard from since. Jazz knew that Prime would need someone to be there to give him guidance. Jazz decided to do that so he walked over to Optimus.
"Prime, I'm worried about you."
"Why, Jazz?" asked the Autobot leader.
"You're making rash decisions. You've been through fire and brimstone the last few days and it's starting to cloud your judgment. You ignored my advice and ordered a direct attack on the Decepticons on Cybertron."
"You may be right, Jazz, but it has to be done."
"You're starting to think like Ironhide. I would expect him to make hasty plans like this but not you. You're a robot who always plans out the best plan of attack. We should be at Autobot City right now deciding what to do."
"I know, but I feel this is the right course of action. I hope you will understand."
"I never said this wasn't right. I'll be here by your side 'til my last functioning circuit goes out. All I'm saying is that this plan is too hasty and unlike you. This is not a question of right or wrong."
"Thank you for your support, Jazz."
"So, what are we going to do now?"
"We are going to board the Space Bridge and attack Shockwave and his troops. When they have been neutralized, we will return to Earth and take out the remaining Decepticons."
Then, the Decepticons came out of nowhere and began to attack.
"Die, Autobots!" said Megatron as he transformed and landed in Soundwave's hand.
"Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, Ratbat, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, eject. Operation: destruction." The cassetticons ejected form Soundwave's chest and transformed for battle. Rumble, the purple one, started to pound Hot Rod with his pile drivers. Frenzy, the red one, did the same thing to Ultra Magnus. Ravage fired his rockets at Rev who raised a shield panel and reflected the rocket back at Ravage hitting him. Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, and Ratbat shot lasers at he Autobots from the sky until the Aerialbots rammed them and sent them to the ground.
Soundwave fired Megatron at Prime, but Prime dodged it and fired back at Soundwave. Optimus hit his hand causing him to lose his grip of Megatron. Megatron transformed and fired at Optimus. He missed. Kup rammed Megatron from behind and transformed to fire his rifle landing several direct hits to Megatron.
The Aerialbots merged to form Superion. The Combaticons merged into Bruticus and attacked Superion. Bruticus punched Superion who responded with a roundhouse kick to Bruticus, which caused him to separate into the separate Combaticons. The Protectobots became Defensor and were fighting Devastator and Menasor. Grimlock and Snarl rammed Devastator causing him to separate into the Constructicons. Defensor was able to fight off Menasor.
Megatron and Optimus were locked in combat. The two leaders fired their blasters at each other. Prime connected more often than Megatron.
Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust, and Ramjet were flying around shooting at the Autobots. Jazz jumped onto Starscream and pointed him at the ground. Jazz jumped off and Starscream hit the ground. Warpath transformed and shot down Thundercracker. Prowl launched a few shots from his blaster and brought down Dirge. Hot Rod used a stone formation as a ramp to bring down Skywarp. Springer flew up to Ramjet and transformed to use his swords and bring the seeker down. Brawn wrestled Thrust to the ground.
Soundwave and Blaster got into a fight. Blaster landed a roundhouse kick that sent Soundwave flying.
"Decepticons, retreat!" ordered Megatron. He realized the Autobots had beaten him this time. Next time, Megatron would have a surprise for Optimus. The Decepticons flew off in defeat.
The Autobots had something they really needed. They had a victory over the Decepticons and a free ticket to Cybertron.
"Prowl, how long until the Space Bridge opens?" asked Prime.
"About two minutes."
"Autobots, transform and get ready to roll out."
The Autobots transformed and entered the Space Bridge. The Dinobots and Rev were ordered to remain on earth in case of Decepticon attacks. The Space Bridge then opened up and transported the Autobots to Cybertron.
At Decepticon Headquarters, the Decepticons were adding to their army.
"Scrapper, how much longer until the new drones are completed?" asked Megatron.
"We are working as fast as we can, Mighty Megatron. But it will still take us several days to complete your request. One thousand drones is a lot work and requires a lot of resources."
"Are you in need of energon?"
"Not yet, but soon."
"Starscream, make an energon run."
"As you command, Megatron." The seeker took Thundercracker and Skywarp with him. The three jets went to a power plant.
The seekers busted in and filled up a large amount of energon cubes. They were able to get out before they were seen by anybody. The night skies were their cover.
On Cybertron, the Autobots found their home world in shambles. Optimus could tell that the planet was suffering. That was why he led the Autobots to earth in the first place. They needed energy and so did Cybertron. He began to feel he had made the right decisions. He hoped then other Autobots would realize that he knew what he was doing. It was a good things his troops were totally loyal to him.
"Where do we go first?" asked Kup.
"We head for Iacon. We need to find out what's been happening over the past few million years. Cybertron is much worse than we left it. Autobots, transform and follow me."
The Autobots all transformed and they headed toward the center of activity on Cybertron. Iacon was the central area of everything on Cybertron. This is where the Autobots set up headquarters.
Jazz came up to a door and entered an access code. The door then opened and the Autobots entered. Prowl's scans of the area indicated no sign of Decepticon activity. The Autobots made their way through the long winding corridors of the building until they came upon their control room. Prowl and Brawn made their way to some panels and began to scan the surrounding areas.
"No sign of Decepticon activity." Said Prowl.
"Nothing here either." Said Brawn.
"Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blaster, man the laser guns." Said Optimus. "We can expect Decepticon activity at any time." The Autobots were expecting company. Within a few minutes, a squadron of tank drones converged on Iacon. They transformed and attacked.
"Autobots, stop those drones." Ordered Optimus. The Autobots manning the lasers shot down a lot of them before several of them transformed and took out the lasers.
"Autobots, transform and roll out." Ultra Magnus and Optimus were at the front of the attack. They rammed through the doors and took out a large number of tank drones. Jazz, Ironhide, Prowl, Hound, and Kup unleashed a volley of fire that took out all the drones in its path.
Then many more drones appeared and eventually forced the Autobots back inside.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Kup.
"I don't know." Said Optimus. "We're are extremely outnumbered."
"That shouldn't stop us." Said Hot Rod. "We should go out there and fight until we stop functioning."
"I like that idea." Said Ironhide.
"So do I." Said Brawn.
"What we need is to distract them with an aerial assault." Said Silverbolt. "Superion is just the robot for it."
"I have a better idea." Said Powerglide. "Why don't you guy stay separated. That means they'll have to shoot at smaller targets."
"Excellent idea. Can we do it, Prime."
"Very well. Aerialbots, Skyfire, Powerglide, distract those tank drones while we head for Decepticon Headquarters. Autobots, transform and roll out."
The Autobots were ready to fight what might be their last battle. They were ready to make the ultimate sacrifice if it meant defeating the Decepticons and saving Cybertron.
Meanwhile, on earth, Megatron watched the monitors as he viewed the Autobots through hidden cameras.
"Yes, Prime, roll out. Roll out to your doom."
