![]() In an attempt to prevent anymore casualties, Optimus Prime made a heroic frontal assault against the elite members of the Decepticon army still positioned outside. Whilst retreating, Red Alert was gunned down by the Constructicon pursuers, as Megatron watched on in triumph. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Autobot squad instantly pulled back, while the Constructicons gave chase. Upon entering the city, Devastator clawed his way through the rubble, only to be confronted by Ultra Magnus, Tracks, Red Alert and Sideswipe who brought the gesalt down, separating him into his individual components. The Dinobots were deployed to attack Devastator-with some success-but could not halt the Decepticons' advance into Autobot City. It was at this crucial point that Autobot reinforcements commanded by Optimus Prime arrived. However, the city could not hold out forever by the next morning Autobot defenses had been broken by relentless Decepticon assaults, and the likelihood of a mass slaughter was high. "Megatron is responsible for Prime's death, not me!" But even so, the two sides were so evenly matched that the battle continued over the course of the remainder of that day and throughout the night. The giant robot quickly made his presence felt, penetrating the first line of defenses by literally tearing them open, and shattering one attempt by Springer, Kup, Hot Rod and Arcee to put him out of action. The Transformers: The Movie The Gathering Storm Realizing that a frontal assault was futile, Megatron ordered the Constructicons to merge into the gestalt Devastator. Though unable to penetrate Autobot City's defenses by conventional means, the Decepticons succeeded in mowing down the Autobot soldiers, such as Wheeljack, Windcharger and Beachcomber. The Transformers: The MovieĮlsewhere, Menasor and Bruticus made their attack on the Ark, as a means of a distraction to prevent Omega Supreme, Defensor and Superion from aiding the Autobot forces at Autobot City. However, Blaster evened the odds by putting his own quartet of counterparts into the fight: Ramhorn, Steeljaw, Rewind, and Eject. Meanwhile, Blaster did manage to make brief contact with the Cybertronian Autobots, but the signal was cut off by the intervention of Soundwave and the four henchmen he had with him: Rumble, Ravage, Frenzy and Ratbat. ![]() Using the Insecticon as a springboard, Hot Rod and Kup were able to clear the gap and enter the city (crushing Kickback's head and ramming Shrapnel out of the way in the process) moments before the armored doors closed. Kup and Hot Rod, speeding toward the city, saw that the two Insecticons Shrapnel and Kickback were eating through one of the doors, but Kickback was taken across a chasm by the retracting bridge. It also had the added bonus of maiming Starscream's right foot. Eventually running out of time, they began the transformation, offering the city (and its Autobot defenders) greater defensive capability to meet the Decepticon assault. Springer and Arcee delayed transforming the city for as long as possible to try and allow Hot Rod and Kup to get back inside. Ultra Magnus, commanding the City, ordered Blaster to contact Optimus Prime on Moonbase One to obtain reinforcements, Springer to transform Autobot City into its battle mode, and Blurr to assist in alerting Autobots to the attack. ![]() The Autobots, though surprised and outnumbered, quickly rallied to the defense. Launch Black Tiger squadron, and prepare the Wave Motion Gun for firing.oh, sorry, wrong anime. On the other hand, Megatron was never really known for his tactical genius. Having taken control of the shuttle, Megatron's plan became clear: the shuttle was to be used as a "Trojan Horse", conveying the Decepticons for a surprise attack on Autobot City itself, which Megatron seemed to think would vanquish the Autobots forever. ![]() Ratchet and Ironhide then fell to Starscream's marksmanship, though Ironhide clung onto life just long enough to be executed by Megatron's fusion cannon. Prowl was next to die after being shot by the Constructicon Scavenger. Heavily outnumbered and outmatched, the Autobots were overwhelmed.īrawn was the first to fall, killed by Starscream using Megatron's gun mode. In a move reminiscent of the Decepticons' boarding of the Ark on their initial arrival on Earth, Megatron led a sizeable contingent of Decepticons against the small Autobot crew on the shuttle. Unfortunately for the Autobots, the Decepticon spy Laserbeak got wind of the Autobots' plans and warned Megatron, ruler of the Decepticons.
