Previously on Transformers Prime...
With the power of the Matrix no longer within him...
it would stand to reason that Optimus has reverted to his pre-Prime state.
A high-frequency signal...
with an embedded message.
Where is Optimus?
Unless you know where Megatron is hiding his Space-bridge...
Space-bridge!
They actually finished building it without my supervision?!
Once we secure the Space-bridge we'll send for Jack.
You three need to hold it long enough for Jack and me to get to Cybertron and back.
How could I possibly be "Optimus Prime"?
Vector Sigma's true location shrouded in myth and rumour, Jack.
It is said the path of the Primes leads there.
2x03 - Orion Pax, part 3
We must be close.
Vector Sigma is... down here?
Kaon didn't always belong to the Decepticons. Megatron took it as a capital.
Apparently without ever realising what lay beneath their feet.

Arcee!
We are being attacked by some kind of...
giant bug-beetle!
- An Insecticon! - A what?
What are Decepticons doing on Cybertron?
A few remained in stasis. Sentries, should the... enemy return.
Jack! Go!
Seriously?
Without Arcee? She's his guide!
No, nurse Darby, Arcee is Jack's backup.
The Key-Card is his guide.
Do it!
Listen to her, Jack.
You've made it this far. Optimus is counting on you.
Roger that, mom.
Orion!
Have you made progess with project "Iacon"?
It seems I am a bit rustier than I thought.
Might that have anything to do with the nature of your after-hours research?
Did I fail to mention that we will be tracking your activities?
I must know! Who am I?
You are my clerk. Now get back to work and decode that database.
No. I would rather erase my findings
than make them available for your questionable use.
Did you really think that we wouldn't be tracking and documenting
every iota of your invaluable research?
One of our sentries was activated... on Cybertron?
You told me our planet was dead.
That is beside the point. Guards!
You will finish project "Iacon" by the time I return
or I will carve out your Spark before your very eyes!
The activity log indicates my Space-bridge was set for Cybertron... and remains open?
The only possible reason the Autobots would take such a risk...
...would be to restore their precious Optimus Prime.
Everyone! I'm in.
Sweet!
This is... Wow.
Commencing download... I think.
Soon, Optimus.
No one told you to stop, Pax.
I believe Megatron intends to use whatever he finds on project "Iacon" to harm the Autobots.
Please. We can warn them.
This is taking a while.
Of course it is. We are talking about the collective wisdom of the Primes.
What is it, Jack?
Scraplets!
What's a scraplet?
Why did it have to be scraplets?!
If they chew through Vector Sigma before the Matrix fully reloads...
So Vector Sigma is more than legend.
You Autobots have gone to impressive lengths to recover your Leader.
Be assured, I shall never underestimate you again.
Now... I assume the one called Arcee will be stepping through that portal...
with the reloaded Matrix of Leadership in hand.
We hold the Space-bridge at all costs!
You're going down, Bucket-head!
Jack?
Oh no-no-no-no, don't quit now!
Arcee?
Back off, bug!
Hey, guys! The main course!
I have the Matrix.
Let's roll.
You have to admit, it's a privilege to stomp a former leader of the Autobots.
No, please... stop. Enough!
I'm... I'm armed?
We're almost there.
Ratchet, we have the Matrix. We're coming through.
Ratchet?
Something's wrong.
We can't knuckle through, can we?
Come, Arcee. So that I might end the lineage of the Primes for all time.
I cannot allow that to happen, Megatron.
And why should you care, Orion Pax? You are no Prime.
That may be true. Or yet another deception? But this much I do know:
My sympathies lie with the Autobots and you are not one of us.
Your Spark may be at the right place, Orion.
But you have much to learn before you can hope to ever again stand your ground against me.
A moment, sadly, which shall never come.
Are you... certain I'm worthy?
You have no idea.
How nice of you to join our tender reunion.
Now, if you please... the Matrix?!
Noo!
Megatron...
Be gone!
Ratchet! How did we arrive here?
Long story, old friend.
Base to Arcee!
We're reading five Autobot life signals down there. Is Prime with you?
And Jack.
Yes!
It's ours!
Autobots, fall back!
This time he's coming with us.
Nooo!
Jack!
Optimus?
Hello, Rafael.
- Wooow. - The Big Guy remembers us! Woo-hoo!
Although it seems there is much I do not remember.
Optimus, it has truly been our darkest hour.
But know this:
From every indication your Spark never ceased being that of an Autobot.
