    The Decepticons plan to use Power Station Alpha to literally destroy the Earth, and Cobra become aware of their plans. Cobra are tasked with attacking the Autobots at their Ark base, but Omega Supreme hold them off. During the raid, Serpentor shoots down Dirge, and then makes a deal to ally with the Autobots. Meanwhile, Hawk learns that his lover Senator Barbara Larking has been in cahoots with Cobra all along, and doctors manage to remove to bug that had been implanted into the brain of Anthony Duranti.
