As Megatron prepares to begin Neo-Ragnarök, Optimus and Lelouch continues their fight against his army of Terrorcons to save the universe and stop their nemesis before it's too late.


  • 11th-Hour Superpower: Lelouch is granted the Power of the Primes at the last possible moment to save the universe from Megatron’s Neo-Ragnarök.

  • And This Is for...: During the lead-up to finishing off Shockwave, we get a two-person example of this.
    Alice: (slicing off Shockwave's hand) That was for me, Sancia, Dalque, and Lucretia!
    Grimlock: And this... (blasts Shockwave in the back) This is from the Dinobots!

  • Cessation of Existence:
    • Marianne using herself as a filter for the power of the Primes obliterates her soul, completely erasing her from existence.

    • Steeljaw loses an optic while fighting Kallen and Arcee.
