Synopsis

The Decepticons face the Autobots inside an experimental factory to gain access to a new energy device, but instead of a head-on battle, a computer programmer named Ethan thinks they should battle inside his 'Battleworld' program. Both parties agree and Megatron is killed, but somehow comes back to life. He almost defeats Prime, but is killed again by him. Unfortunately, Prime innocently killed some of the game's inhabitants, which forces Ethan to destroy Prime's physical body. The Combaticons and Megatron leave with the new energy device while The Protectobots leave with Prime's damaged body.
