Megatron is holding Bumblebee, after tearing out his voice box and sees the Allspark launching off into space. He discards Bumblebee and begins to chase the Allspark, when the Autobots launch a tractor beam that stops him in place.

Megatron fights back, but is urgent to get to the Allspark, so he calls for Devastator to take care of the Autobots. Megatron chases after the Allspark himself now. Devastator launches a Foldspace Warhead that blasts himself, Ratchet, Ironhide and Jazz to different parts of the galaxy.
