Megatron hatches a plan; use data captured by Laserbeak to create an exact replica of Autobot leader Optimus Prime (controlled remotely by Megatron himself) that will trick the Autobots into entering the crevice. It works better since Optimus Prime himself is incapacitated by the time the clone enters. At the Ark, Spike and the other Autobots notice that Optimus Prime is acting strange. For one, he doesn't remember that he just gave Teletraan I a checkup that morning, and calls Ironhide "Bumblebee". Then the real Prime shows up. (Hilarity ensues.) The Autobots try a number of methods to figure out which one is real, such as a race or target practice, but they are both successful. Teletraan I reports trouble near the crevice, and Ironhide takes command until they find out which Prime is real. The Autobots fight the Decepticons at the crevice, and Megatron decides that to create a stronger effect, he should have the clone kill a Decepticon. Naturally, he chooses Starscream, who has a tantrum and flies outside the base. Spike and Windcharger see Starscream and investigate. They discover Megatron haul Starscream back and create a clone that the fake Prime will destroy. After the Decepticons capture Spike and Windcharger is lost, the clone does its business and announces that it will have a one-on-one fight with "Optimus Prime". Though Thundercracker is at first concerned, he is later willing to let the fight continue. The fake Starscream is killed, and so the Optimus Prime clone earns the trust of the Autobots. When he sends them to explore the crevice, Windcharger emerges and reveals the truth; if it weren't for his rubber tires the korlonium crystals in the crevice would have killed him. The Autobots turn on the fake Optimus Prime and bombard him until he falls. Megatron, frustrated, launches the rocket and drops Splick (er, Spike) out. Luckily, Powerglide comes out of nowhere just in time to save Spike. A slightly confused Optimus assures Spike that he is who he is and pats him on the head.
