"Sentinel is ours! The Royalty will be pleased!" Inferno chortled.
Thunderblast smirked; she accomplished what she can for her god, Megatron.
"Oh, man! We almost had it!" Rattrap whined.
Back at base, the Maximal team had to return to deliver the bad news to Primal. "Man! If it wasn't for this fish-faced crab cook, we'd have Sentinel right now."
"It was an accident." Depth Charge retorted.
"You ran into Rattrap and Silverbolt. That was anything but an accident." pointed out Skyquake.
"Oh yeah? When Bolt asked you for help, you turned him down. Was that an accident too?" Rattrap challenged.
"Is that true?" Primal questioned.
"I was kinda busy with Rampage." Depth Charge replied.
"If you weren't damaged, I'd scramble your circuits." Primal stated sternly, apparently despondent at Depth Charge for indirectly contributing to their failure.
Elita sighed. She knew Prime had tried SO HARD to talk Goldmine off his path for revenge, to no success.
"Don't let that stop you, Primal." Depth Charge sneered.
"Let me take him, Optimus!" Rattrap offered, but he was held back by Rhinox.
"I knew saving your hide was a mistake." Depth Charge derided.
Now the Autobots frowned. Did the Maximals themselves mean that little to Depth Charge?
"Rattrap?" asked Primal.
"Doh, well, yeah, technically he did kinda do that. Thanks." he gratefully said to Depth Charge.
"Looks like you did give us some help after all." Primal stated.
"Don't go gettin' all gushy on me!" Depth Charge backed off.
"I'm not! You also cost us a major strategic advantage." Prime chided. "That's why you can't continue to act as an independent. We need you, Maximal."
Prime deepened his glare, hoping that Depth Charge could see reason.
"I'll think about it." Depth Charge stated. "This crew sure needs something."
"Sentinel, online!" As Megatron laughs after installing Sentinel to the Darksyde. The very automated security that ensured the failures of his assaults of the Axalon is now his.
The Orb cuts off shortly afterwards.
