* PacifismBreakingPoint: After Megatron severely injures Raf, Optimus finally reaches the conclusion that the Autobot/Decepticon War will never end peacefully as the two sides have become equally irreconcilable, and the only way to end it is to effectively remove Megatron out of the picture entirely, resulting in this WhamLine:
-->'''Optimus:''' I have been foolish not to see what history has proven over and over again; that Autobots and Decepticons will ''never'' mend their ways. If there can be no diplomatic solution to this ''perpetual'' conflict, then I must not allow more darkness to fall, upon this or ''any'' planet. ''Megatron must be '''''destroyed!'''''''

* HistoryRepeats: Optimus builds up to his WhamLine by noting how he consistently ignored the lessons of history. He's realized there can be no diplomatic solution to "this perpetual conflict" and that he must break the cycle. He fears Earth and other planets will suffer the same fate as Cybertron, if Megatron continues to live.

Back at Autobot Outpost Omega One, Ratchet panics that his tools are wrong for human examination, and Jack suggests that they call in his mother. Meanwhile, Megatron has another vision in which he sees a sinister face and a volcano. He then orders Knock Out and Airachnid to complete the space bridge, as there is something he must attend to. June arrives at the Autobot base and quickly unnerves Ratchet with the knowledge that Raf will die unless she can stabilize him immediately. Bumblebee vents his frustration on a nearby wall, but Arcee manages to calm him...a little. Ratchet regrets having not bothered to learn human science and medicine, despite accepting the children into their lives. He then states that he has grown to need Rafael, just as Raf needs him.

Meanwhile, Ratchet realizes that Raf has been infected with Dark Energon and theorizes that exposure to normal energon should cure him. He takes a sample from Bumblebee, placing Raf in a sealed chamber to test his theory as the others watch helplessly. Rafael soon opens his eyes, his pulse stabilizing.

* WhamShot: When the volcano erupts, it's not lava that spews out of it; it's ''Dark Energon''.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Knock Out says legend has it that Dark Energon is literally the blood of Unicron, but his dismissive "Whatever" suggests he doesn't actually believe the Chaos Bringer ever existed.


Added DiffLines:

* CuttingTheKnot: When discussing obtaining the power source, Airachnid proposes tunneling into the facility and covertly stealing it. Megatron refuses to waste time on the usual stealth approach and orders a very public assault to brute force their way in.


Added DiffLines:

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Optimus gives several Vehicons the opportunity to just step aside, saying he is only there for Megatron. They don't listen, so he blasts them across the corridor.
