Iacon's finest annoyed Sentinel with their questioning of Motor Master's crew, but Optimus's suspicions were raised as well. Knowing this, Optimus didn't pause to question the Autobots' good fortune when Blitzwing suddenly decided to ditch the battle, and headed back to help Sari immediately. He also reaffirmed his comment regarding death in the series, stating that "anyone can die" and revealed that "the body count has been upgraded" in season two.

Megatron goaded Optimus to finish him, but Optimus instead destroyed Megatron's fusion cannon, saying that the Decepticon leader didn't deserve the "easy way out".

Afterwards, Megatron, disillusioned with the prospect of tyranny, disbands the Decepticons and exiles himself away from Cybertron, while Starscream, having escaped from his imprisonment, returns to Darkmount to attempt to restart the Decepticons, only to be confronted by the Predacons, who wish to exact revenge for their abuse at his hands; Starscream is last seen being pursued by Skylynx and Darksteel, though his fate is later revealed in Transformers: Robots in Disguise. In Beast Hunters, the Predacons and Predaking are introduced. True to form, Bumblebee wasn't able to see the training through, and got distracted by a crime-in-progress. But the battle went against the Autobots, with Blurr and a pair of clones sucked into the space bridge and the other Autobots incapacitated.

Sentinel never forgave Optimus for making him leave Elita behind, Predacons Rising and bore a grudge against him for the next thousand years, constantly belittling him and sniping at him. Returning to the plant, Optimus informed Isaac of Sari's condition, deciding that this family was done keeping secrets from each other. Fortunately Ratchet was able to track him down and rescue him before the bomb could be triggered. However, Waspinator heard this, and tried to attack Blackarachnia. Sentinel was unwilling to listen to Optimus's claims that Wasp was innocent and Longarm Prime was the real traitor, and he took off for Wasp.

Soundwave was chosen by Megatron to lead his second assassination team against the new Autobot supreme commander, Optimus Prime. A struggle ensued (in which Ratchet and Bumblebee insisted Prime was 'their dipstick') and Mixmaster held Bumblebee hostage and demands the AllSpark. Before he left, he admitted that he wasn't sure if Professor Sumdac was willingly cooperating with the Decepticons, but promised Sari that he would bring him home alive.

He still was able to pursue Soundwave, albeit with the fire hose out of control. The pair fought well side by side until Slipstream fired a shot at Megatron's head.

What happens will be pretty unexpected, but pretty organic."

A short time later, the Elite Guard were preparing to leave, and Optimus Prime's crew were seeing them off. Additionally, when asked about the death of Cliffjumper and other characters in the series, he said that "when we kill a character, we kill a character".

Optimus then grabbed Laserbeak, forced him into guitar mode, and engaged in a brief (epic) Battle of the Bands scenario before using Laserbeak to slice Soundwave and Ratbat in half, destroying the Decepticon's control over the citizens of Detroit.

While they were bashing their way through the drones, Ratchet and Prowl got hold of a Decepticon Transmitter Drone, which they used to intercept a transmission indicating that Megatron was looking for AllSpark fragments to power his Space Bridge. However, he survives, gaining a healed voice, and kills Megatron by running the Star Saber through him, sending his body falling back to Earth.
