Meanwhile, in the unknown Decepticon base, A mysterious voice tells Galvatron, the Decepticon Leader, to prepare for his return, hinting that the two have been working together since the beginning. The voice tells him to prepare for his arrival by opening up a space bridge using a Space Transfusion Globe, and using Dark Energon as the source of energy. The voice also tells Galvatron to increase the troop count. Galvatron is enraged when he learns the troops aren't ready, and tells the Air General Starscreamer to hurry the process. Lockdown, a bounty hunter, brings Galvatron a, "Space Transfusion Globe", to help bridge the mysterious Decepticon back to Cybertron. Meanwhile, three Autobots, Tailgate, Nightbeat, and Gears, head off to hunt for a rumored Decepticon beast in the Sea of Rust, a deserted waste-land to the north-east of Maximus City. The three Autobots track down the beast, who is revealed to be Predaking, the leader of the nearly-extinct Predacon race. Predaking attacks Nightbeat and Tailgate, leaving Gears to deal with Predaking.

Episode Notes

 * Victory Leo is shown to be against the idea of religion, which is odd considering he went with Star Saber on a religious mission trip. However, Star Saber could have dragged Victory Leo along with him.
 * This episode is fairly accurate to the events in the first 4 chapters of the fan fiction, such as Dai Alas meeting with Optimus, and Nightbeat being inside Swerve's Bar.
