Original material[]
Ancient Relics! Part Two[]
Flint orders a strategic withdrawal as Megatron charges forward. The Action Force team rush to the surface as Flint recalls how Blades was downed with a single blast from Megatron's cannon.[1]
On the surface things continue to go bad as they encounter the newly arrived Grimlock and Centurion. Grimlock is still hoping to find Blaster and Goldbug, but then Megatron bursts through the grounds. He wonders aloud how the Autobots found him but decides it doesn't matter and attacks them. As Grimlock and Megatron fight, Flint radios for air support and Bazooka confirms that Heavy Metal is coming with a unit of Maulers. Three Dragonflies arrive and Wild Bill leads them in an attack on Megatron. But the Decepticon is barely wounded and fires at Wild Bill's Dragonfly, destroying the blade. Wild Bill is helpless as the helicopter plunges!
