As Starscream joins the battle in command of the aerial forces, Ironhide worries that Devastator and the others will be on the Autobots in seconds. To the Autobots' relief, Prime responds with a plan: Blaster is to block the Decepticons' communications as the Autobots fall back, misleading the Decepticons into thinking it's a retreat. This allows room for Omega Supreme to plow through the Decepticon column in robot mode and slam Devastator into a building. Optimus, fearing further damage to the city, orders Omega to take their fight elsewhere. Omega obeys, grabs Devastator in a bearhug, and flies into the air.
