Windblade is unable to remove the disruptor by hand, but seems willing to make a sacrifice play herself when she opens up her chest armor to reveal her own spark, causing the weapon to leap from Starscream's body and adhere to her instead. The weapon adheres to Starscream's chest, and Sentinel leaves him to face his impending demise when it detonates. Sentinel Prime himself, very much alive, having been awakened from beneath Kaon by Metrotitan's beacon! Revolted to see Autobots, Decepticon, and "malformed colonists" fighting alongside one another, Sentinel refuses to heed Windblade's order to lay down his arms, and instead hurls a spark disruptor at Starscream, seeking to eliminate the leader of what he sees as a perverted version of his homeworld. As they fly through the city, a distress call from Ironhide back in Iacon soon has them speeding back home: someone is cutting a swathe of destruction through the Decepticon ghetto. Investigating a massive energy discharge in the wilderness of Cybertron, Starscream and Windblade discover that something has blasted its way out of Kaon, which they are surprised to find is somehow still intact beneath the planet's surface. A brilliant beam of light shoots from Metrotitan up into space-a beacon, Soundwave and Optimus fear, that portends things going "very, very wrong". Prime seeks a way to address to all of Earth and Cybertron again, and Metrotitan speaks, declaring that it will send knowledge of Optimus's deeds out into the universe. The sight of the giant robot seems sure to send an unintentionally threatening message to humanity Optimus wishes the Titan did not appear so imposing, and in silent response, Metrotitan converts to city mode-a form Prime dubs " Autobot City," the Autobots' new embassy on Earth. On Earth, Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Soundwave return to the Autobot bivouac in Monument Valley, where now stands Metrotitan, the gigantic Titan raised from beneath the Earth's surface by Optimus. Megatron denies the allegation outright, insisting the Decepticons were not responsible, and Swerve tries placating his huffy captain with an energon nibble. This part of the film contains a surprise for Megatron, as it relates how Sentinel's body was mutilated by the Decepticons while it lay in state in the Primal Basilica, its head stolen and never recovered. Tailgate is a little puzzled, having always heard Sentinel spoken of as a hero Rewind explains that dying at Megatron's hands posthumously redeemed his reputation, to the point that he was given a state funeral, as the documentary now shows. Megatron accuses the archivist of producing a biased work, which elicits an affronted response, while Cyclonus despairs as Chromedome and Brainstorm ponder aloud the similarities between Megatron and Sentinel, both power-hungry ideaologues who built armies to serve their goals. Megatron soon suspects Whirl has only invited him to make him uncomfortable, as it turns out the movie being shown is a documentary by Rewind about the beginning of the war, including footage of Megatron killing Sentinel Prime during battle in Kaon. Weeks earlier, aboard the Lost Light, Megatron and Ravage respond to an invitation to attend the ship's running "movie night," now being held in a newly converted exhibition hall. Consumed with disgust, he raises his weapons and prepares to undo it all. Explosively emerging from his subterranean resting place, the figure makes for Iacon, where he beholds first-hand the changed face of his planet. Awakened from a slumber of unknown length by a burst of information sent out by a Titan, the mysterious 'bot learns from the Titan of the Cybertron of today, full of Autobots now working with strange colonists, and most deplorably of all, the Decepticons who killed him. Somewhere underground, beneath the wilderness of Cybertron, a figure stirs.
