Synopsis
On the planet Feminia, Rodimus Prime and his homies prepare their last line of defense as Galvatron and the Decepticons approach their target: the Prime Energy Tower. As the Decepticons charge, the Autobots open fire and hold them back for a moment.
Galvatron is not intimidated, however, and orders the Constructicons, Combaticons and Stunticons to combine into Devastator, Bruticus and Menasor, respectively. Not to be outdone, Rodimus orders Omega Supreme, Superion and Defensor to show themselves. As the giant Transformers duke it out, Wheelie remarks that it's just like a tag-match. Kup tells him to shut up.
Galvatron still isn't worried, though, as he has an ace up his sleeve. Galvatron orders the Predacons to unite into Predaking. As Predaking lays out all three Autobot super robots with a single punch, Galvatron laughs about how the remaining Decepticons are keeping Predaking's only worthy opponent, Sky Lynx, "preoccupied" in New York City.
Springer remarks that things look bad, but Rodimus tells him not to give up hope. Being so huge, Predaking fails to notice the Omnibots (Camshaft, Downshift and Overdrive) sneaking up to his legs. The Omnibots transform and launch their grappling hooks onto Predaking's legs, binding them with cable. Predaking promptly falls over into the other Decepticon combiners, disassembling and defeating them.
The Autobots rejoice.

Notes
- This is the first appearance of planet Feminia. The events of this issue will be briefly referenced in the Headmasters episode "Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime", though the planet itself won't be seen again until the Zone OVA, "Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!"
- The significance of Sky Lynx's detainment is that he's the Autobot with the best record of defeating Predaking, having bested him in "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5", "Chaos", and "The Quintesson Journal".
