With no other choice, Optimus makes his way to the base of the cannon and forces open a door, only to be blasted by Starscream, bashed by Brawl and Onslaught, and dragged in front of Megatron. After fighting his way across a huge bridge, Prime gets close enough to the last Warp Cannon to mark it, only for it to take out Metroplex first. That done, Optimus heads down more corridors and is confronted by three Leapers, which Metroplex handily takes out by putting a fist through the wall. With the second Warp Cannon shelling them, they head into a building and manage to get close enough to the cannon for Optimus to mark it for destruction by Metroplex. Moving on, Prime helps the survivors of a crashed Autobot ship and finds Warpath in a huge plaza. Once they find the first Warp Cannon, Metroplex laboriously synchronizes his targeting systems with Optimus and together they take out the first cannon. Optimus and Metroplex head for the Iacon ruins where the Warp Cannons are located. and the entire city transforms into Metroplex. When the cannon runs out of energon, Optimus heads back inside the city and is guided by a mysterious intelligence to the city's core where he pulls a lever. Optimus takes manual control and helps defend the Ark refueling station from a number of Decepticon tanks. After fighting his way through more Decepticons, he brings the neutron gun online, but again the targeting is out. Decepticons, including Starscream, have invaded the area, and Optimus finds many bodies, but heads for the neutron cannon. With news that the Warp Cannons are firing on the Ark, Optimus heads to the engine room, but as he moves towards the flight deck, the corridors restructure around him. He sends Prime to activate an old artillery gun using energon from the Ark, and Prime soon puts the weapon to good use taking out Decepticons. Sending Warpath back to the Ark, Optimus goes in to meet with Perceptor, who's struggling to get the city working again so they can fight off the Decepticons. After fighting off a horde of Decepticons, they unseal the detpak from the nerve center door. At the armory, Warpath reports that Perceptor and others are trapped in a nerve center, so he and Optimus fight their way there. After helping Ratchet stabilize a badly-injured Silverbolt, Prime sends Jazz to find where Grimlock's disappeared to. Optimus heads through the Iacon ruins and enters Autobot City through a side door to find the Autobots trying to get the city stable without the absent Grimlock. As Prime moves to head out, a Warp Cannon crashes to the ground nearby and targets the Ark. Optimus tries to contact Grimlock, as it's his sector the Decepticons have invaded, but gets no answer. Ironhide reports the energon reserves are aboard, and Perceptor is overseeing city shutdown, only for the news to come that the Decepticons have invaded the city. Six days earlier, the Autobots are preparing the last transport for launch. As Bumblebee falls, Optimus lifts his body. There he finds Optimus and Megatron engaging in a fierce melee battle on the hull of the ship, and just as Megatron fires a huge cannon at Optimus, Bumblebee throws himself forwards, taking the shot meant for Prime. He pushes through enemy lines, with the help of two Titans, and makes his way to the engine room. He fights his way through a few waves of Decepticons, making his way to the engine room, where Prime and Megatron are doing battle. He makes it to a stronghold, restocking on ammo, energon and weapons. He passes Bruticus having a brawl and bringing an onslaught of destruction. With his alternator jarred back into gear, Bumblebee transforms and races through an outer area, avoiding explosions, Decepticon tow cables and large chunks of rubble. The tower is hit by a claw that knocks him down a shaft. He reaches the defense mainframe and rushes the Decepticon manning it, reactivating the Ark's guns. He witnesses Autobots being overrun by a Titan and then on another level, Soundwave, Laserbeak and Rumble attacking. Ratchet sends Bumblebee off to fix it, and after braving nearly being sucked into space, the scout soon replaces the fuse and ascending up a lift to the defense tower. The artillery cannons are taken offline and the ship blows a fuse. With more Decepticons swarming the engine room, Optimus heads off to help, leaving Bumblebee to protect the bridge. Megatron invades the ship using the Nemesis, sending Decepticons over directly to the bridge of the Ark, forcing Bumblebee, Ratchet and Optimus Prime to fight off the aggressors. The Ark heads off to the portal which will take them to Earth. 1.3 Chapter III: Metroplex Heeds the Call.
