vFeatured Article
Within the Ark, Shockwave observes a number of human television programs–among them, a news broadcast pertaining to a new and ultra-advanced oil rig by Blackrock Enterprises–and judges Earth's natives as quite primitive. As he walks past the deactivated Autobots, now strung from the ceiling, he concludes that conquest of the planet "will be a simple task indeed."
Elsewhere in the vessel, the poisoned Decepticons are being revived. Shockwave explains to Megatron that, in light of this humiliating defeat, his leadership was clearly faulty, and it is only logical for Shockwave to take command. The weakened Megatron is in no condition to disagree... yet. Shockwave explains his plan to use the Autobots as spare parts, and to harvest the Creation Matrix from Optimus Prime and build an army to conquer the planet. Shockwave flies off to undertake his first conquest.
