The Predacons returned and betrayed Megatron, stealing his fusion cannon and leaving him alone to fight Prime. He missed Prime's robot component but hit his trailer component, causing Prime pain. Megatron was waiting for him and fired his fusion cannon. Thinking he lost them, Optimus Prime doubled back to his trailer and started to remove the facsimile. Showing uncommon sportsmanship, Megatron gave Optimus a ten minute head start before he sent the Predacons to hunt for him.

The launcher also includes a highly dexterous grapple-arm which allows it to load itself and change its weaponry. The Auto-Launcher mounted on the deck can use a variety of artillery and radiation beam weapons, including most of those used by his fellow Autobots. Prime can operate by remote-control his Combat Deck module up to a distance of 1500 feet.
