Transformers: Prime/Recap/S1/E05 Darkness Rising Part 5: Difference between revisions

Starscream activates the Space Bridge, and Megatron physically throws a huge chunk of Dark Energon through it. The Dark Energon strikes Cybertron, swiftly covering the planet and turning millions of dead Transformers into millions of Terrorcons. Optimus realizes that the only course of action left to them is to destroy the Space Bridge.

 

 

As Optimus faces Megatron, Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee go to implement some sabotage. Megatron manages to defeat Prime, but as he raises his sword, Starscream alerts him to the actions of the other Autobots. Optimus takes advantage of the momentary distraction to block Megatron's killing blow and blast him away, but the Decepticon leader transforms and flies off to find Prime's team. Arcee's team has just succeeded in rigging the Space Bridge to blow when Megatron attacks and blasts Arcee off into space. The Autobots jump into the Ground Bridge, Bumblebee collecting Arcee on the way. Seeing the potential damage that the exploding Space Bridge would cause, Starscream decides to pull the Decepticons' ship back, imploring Megatron to do the same. As Megatron is overcome with regret over the loss of his army of Terrorcons as they begin to come through, the Space Bridge explodes in his face.
