The Autobots are amazed and confused at Prime's presence. With their ranks bolstered by the mighty warrior's firepower, they quickly drive the freaked out Decepticons into retreat. However, they cannot investigate further because the Decepticons have followed them inside and attack them (turns out Galvatron has wised up to the detonate-three-quarters thing.) The fierce battle that follows appears lost for the Autobots, when suddenly they are saved by none other than Optimus Prime. To satisfy his curiosity and against the opinions of the other Autobots, Rodimus opens Prime's tomb, only to find it empty. When he finds the others he swears he has seen Optimus Prime alive. particularly when he sees what looks like the fully animated form of Optimus Prime. While exploring by himself, Daniel is stuck in a dark room with robot corpses and gets appropriately creeped out. What's left of the ship can't support human life for long, however, so they take refuge on board the nearby Autobot Mausoleum, an interstellar tomb containing many of their deceased comrades, most notably the venerated Optimus Prime.

On the run from Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Spike and Daniel try the old 'detonate three-quarters of the ship' trick to lose their pursuers.

Don't you hate when your stuff goes missing?
