He leads the Decepticons in an open attack on Washington down Constitution Avenue, stopping in front of the White House. Megatron has his own plans for dealing with the government. In the meantime, he meets with Spike Witwicky to discuss Franklin Townsend's betrayal and a possible technological alliance with the Autobots. He instructs Carl Lomax, a former Follower and LVPD chief of police previously under Starscream's command, to extend an invitation to the Transformer-friendly news reporter, Isolde Holden.

He decides that becoming a public figure again will be the best way to protect himself from retaliation from the White House. Since the Omega Sentinel is not technically a Decepticon, he is able to interface with the Matrix and use it to magnify his power, giving Megatron a new weapon in his plans.Īllister Greaves is trying to extract something meaningful from the mess created by the Keepers and his brush with the US government. After Optimus leaves, Megatron approaches Omega Sentinel, whose survival he kept a secret from Optimus. He does, however, agree to relinquish the Matrix to Megatron, and with it, much of the Autobots' power. Optimus tells Megatron that he cannot name him "Prime", as only the Council of Ancients can do that. Megatron tells Prime that he plans to make Starscream squirm a little bit by naming Skywarp his second-in-command for a time. They discuss the aftermath of their battle with the Keepers: Devastator has been fused into a single entity, the Omega Sentinel is reportedly dead, and the apparent healthy return of Bluestreak and Starscream. In the ruins of Las Vegas, Optimus Prime and Megatron meet again under a truce.
