As the beast that is Megatron and Ratchet satggers around the Ark in demented, destructive mode, an uppity Kup wants 'it' put down and decides to throw in his sixpence worth about Prime's plans to surrender while he's at it! Time to stamp your authority, Optimus. In the meantime, continuing his crazed quest on the planet Hydrus Four, a well cheesed-off Grimlock approaches the island of Farooth, the medi-centre of the planet and source of the life-giving Nucleon. He is determined to reactivate his Dinobot compatriots despite the warnings given to him by his guide about the fuel's bizarre after-effects!
