Fleeing the catastrophic battle that led to the destruction of MEGATRON, STARSCREAM retreats to a nearby power plant where he can siphon enough raw energy to repair himself of the minor damage he has suffered from human weapons. His frame repaired and reenergized, he boosts out of the atmosphere, headed for deep space. As he accelerates past the moon, he sets his sensors to long-range scan, hoping to find evidence of nearby DECEPTICON reinforcements he can bring back to Earth to destroy the AUTOBOTS and their human allies.
