After their defeat, Starscream gets to work on rebuilding the Decepticons
==Detailed Synopsis==
Shockwave types commands into a machine, when he turns, two ground bridges open, he grabs a hatch before he is sucked into the vacuum. Starscream walks into the room and is almost pulled into the ground bridges, when Soundwave pops out and Shockwave closes the bridges. Starscream yells profanities at Shockwave, but when he realizes Soundwave is there, guides him out of the room and tells him about what happened for the past year.
Bumblebee and Smokescreen patrol around Cybertron and see the Predacon Skylynx patrolling. Skylynx sees them and immediately attacks them. Bumblebee and Smokescreen are strong enough to pin Skylynx down. Skylynx calls for Predaking to reinforce. When Predaking comes, they battle for a while, but when Smokescreen is badly injured, Bumblebee calls to Magnimus Prime (Ultra Magnus, but the matrix has chosen him to lead) for reinforcements.
Magnimus Prime gets the call for reinforcements, Bulkhead and Wheeljack walk in right on time and Magnimus tells them to reinforce. They agree and transform and roll out.
Back with Bumblebee and Smokescreen, Darksteel now is with them, Bumblebee is then shot and falls to the ground. He asks if the reinforcements are coming and Magnimus says yes. After some more beatings from the trio of Predacons when he calls that he needs reinforcements right then.
Close to Bumblebee and Smokescreen, Arcee and Knock Out hear the call and head towards the plea. When they get there, Wheeljack and Bulkhead are just arriving. They battle the Predacons for a little more, when the Predacons retreat and they ask for a ground bridge. When one is open, Wheeljack and Bulkhead drag Bumblebee and Smokescreen through, followed by Arcee and Knock Out. Once there, Magnimus sends a ground bridge to Earth to bring Ratchet to Cybertron to heal Bumblebee and Smokescreen.
Predaking and the Predacons enter the temporary Decepticon base and talk to Starscream. Predaking tells Starscream how Bumblebee and Smokesreen are injured and it is the perfect time to attack. Starscream questions his motives, thinking that it's a trap, because the Decepticons only have three transformers in their rank, but Predaking promises that the Predacons will ally with them. Starscream laughs mischievously and tells Shockwave and Soundwave to prepare.
Back with the Autobots, Magnimus creates another ground bridge to send Ratchet back to earth, but before Ratchet can go through the ground bridge, the Decepticons and Predacons attack. The Autobots scramble and try to escape. Ratchet and Knock Out drag Bumblebee and Smokescreen out while Arcee, Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Magnimus hold the Decepticons and Predacons back. Soundwave sees the ground bridge and calculates where it leads to, which is Earth, and he feels a strong presence of energon. Soundwave uses telekinesis to talk to Shockwave and tells him where it leads, Shockwave tells Starscream and they try to run through it, but Magnimus closes it and they fall to the ground. Soon, Ratchet comes back in, while Knock Out insists to stay with Bumblebee and Smokescreen. When Starscream tells Predaking about the how the ground bridge lead to Earth, and that Soundwave felt the presence of energon, Predaking orders the Predacons to retreat and the Decepticons follow, leaving the Autobots baffled.
