Unicron prepares to eat Earth, whilst the Transformers on his body attack him to no avail. Optimus appears and says he has a plan. Stockade agrees to work with the Autobots to save Cybertron. The Transformers head under the surface of the planet.
On Earth Starscream and his Decepticons have begun their attack on America again, causing a lot of damage. Back on Cybertron the Transformers begin attacking him from the inside and causes his internal Nucleon deposits to explode, banishing the Chaos Bringer away and returning Cybertron to normal.
In the aftermath, Optimus invites Stockade to join them on Earth, but he declines for the moment. He gives Optimus all the remaining Nucleon to use it to save Earth, and they leave.
