On the other side of the battlefield :

Sideswipe looked out the viewscreen, shock on his face. Override, Sizzle and Fizzle were too busy firing weapons. Override glanced at Sideswipe.

"Sideswipe! Move us towards Cloudburst and his group. We need to make pick up!"

Fizzle looked at Override.

"Override, Inferno's gone."

"What?"

Sizzle spoke.

"Inferno sent his crew out the airlock, which Cloudburst's group picked up, and then sent his ship on a direct head on collision course with that cruiser."

"Primus....."

Just then, Silverbolt's voice came over the comm.

"Guys, we're starting to run out of space here. I suggest we retreat for the time being."

Sideswipe nodded.

"Yeah, but what Inferno did, gave me an idea. Silverbolt, swing past us and stay in our sensor shadow. I'm gonna set the reactor to overload, and then we're gonna bail out. We'll fly the shuttle in by remote, and hope it'll take out the other cruiser."

Silverbolt smiled as he replied.

"Sounds like a good plan." A pause "I'm in position, activating umbilical tube now."

A low thud sounded as the tube attached itself onto the underside of the shuttle. Sizzle opened the airlock and looked down at the tube's hatch. He punched as few buttons and the hatch opened. He looked at Sideswipe.

"Umbilical attached and secured."

"Roger. Releasing reactor restraints. Setting the proximity sensors for approximately," Sideswipe studied the cruiser "5,590 tonnes/ ten feet distance. When the shuttle gets close to the cruiser...."

Fizzle added.

"Boom."

"Exactly. Everyone, into Silverbolt!"

The four Autobots leaped down the umbilical tube into Silverbolt. Sideswipe was the last to enter, and he hit the switch which sealed the tube.

"Silverbolt! Retract umbilical and get us the Hell out of here!"

"Done! Hang on guys, this'll be a bumpy ride!"

The umbilical retracted back into Silverbolt's fuselage, and the Aerialbot leader turned and flew towards the last shuttle. Sideswipe's shuttle accelerated towards the final cruiser.

Cyclonus, Scourge, Astrotrain, Snapdragon, Apeface, Triggerhappy, Six-Shot and other Decepticons. Fired on the shuttle repeatedly, but the shuttle kept flying towards it's target. Onboard the cruiser, Galvatron snarled.

"Damn Autobots! All Decepticons, fire on that shuttle, or else!!"

Shanix, just boarded the cruiser, approached his master.

"Master Galvatron, I have completed my mission."

"SHUT UP SHANIX!!!" Galvatron roared as he pressed a button.

Three salvos of missiles (each salvo consisting of 10 missiles.) swarmed from the ship towards the shuttle. Galvatron watched the missiles hit the shuttle, which was still being struck repeatedly by his Decepticons. The shuttle shuddered violently under the barrage, but it still kept coming. However before the shuttle could come any closer, energy blasts speared it from behind. Galvatron narrowed his optics.

"Who?"

Shanix gasped.

"Shockwave!"

Behind the shuttle, Shockwave in his spacegun form, led the Decepticons under him, in an attack on the shuttle. Between the firepower from Galvatron's ship and forces, combined with Shockwave and his group, the shuttle's armour buckled under the combined firepower. Due to the effect the constant barrage was having, instead of exploding, the shuttle imploded.

Cyclonus wore a grim expression.

"These Autobots are willing to sacrifice everything, even their own lives to stop us and to protect that planet."

"Aye, they fight with noble and honourable, if misguided, intentions." A voice said behind the Targetmaster.

Cyclonus and his group turned and faced the Pretender Bludgeon. With Bludgeon, were the Decepticons, sworn against Galvatron's regime. Cyclonus kept Nightstick ready.

"What do you have in mind?"

Before Bludgeon could reply to Cyclonus, Galvatron's voice boomed over the comlinks of his Decepticons.

"Decepticons! Return to the ship! Bludgeon, you and you're Decepticons are to board as well."

Bludgeon was about to reply, when Shanix's voice came over his comm.

"Bludgeon, I have conferred with Galvatron, and we are to join forces to destroy the Autobots."

Bludgeon sighed.

"And what has Shockwave and Ratbat decided on?"

A pause.

"Ratbat perished when the cruiser 'IMPLACABLE' was destroyed. Shockwave....."

"Is still functional." Bludgeon faced Shockwave who transformed from his spacegun form, and flew towards Galvatron's cruiser.

Bludgeon looked at Cyclonus, and both Decepticons led their troops towards the cruiser. As the two groups of Decepticons boarded the ship. Galvatron looked at the screen showing the scene in the landing bay. Shockwave, Bludgeon and their troops as well as Cyclonus and the rest of his fighters, had boarded and Cyclonus and Scourge were 'escorting' Bludgeon and Shockwave to the bridge. Galvatron looked at Shanix.

"Well slave what will they do? Join me? Or....?"

Shanix looked at his 'Master'.

"To destroy the Autobots, yes, they will join you. However, I would urge you to keep an optic on them at all times, and dispose of them with they've outlived their usefulness."

Galvatron smiled and thought to himself.

Yes, Shanix. but ask yourself what will happen to you when I am through with you. Soon, I will crush you and leave you for dead.

Galvatron looked at the scanner. The Autobots had retreated back to Earth. Galvatron didn't care, if he couldn't destroy them here, he'd destroy them on Earth. Soon, the Autobots will be smoking wrecks, and Optimus Prime will be destroyed.

Yes, Galvatron was going to enjoy himself.
