in earth's orbit, we see that it's all empty and black, which is like what space always is because it's nothing but a big endless inky void, until we see a rift open up from the fabric of existence and two spaceships come out of it, and these ships are the maximal ship ''Axalon'' and the predacon ship ''Darksyde'' as they were having a space battle against each other while getting close to earth

Cheetor: Hull breach in sector 7! guidance systems are failing!.

he called out

RatTrap: oh man, this is ridiculous! we're an exploration ship, not a battle cruiser!

he complained with a new-yorker accent

Optimus Primal: we had no choice. Our ship was the only one that could lock onto Megatron's warp signature.

he said

Cheetor: shields are doing a major fade!!

he warned the axalon's status on it's shields

Optimus Primal: then put the plasma cannons to full power.

he ordered as his crew members did so

(Darksyde POV)

DinoBot: their shields are down, DESTROY THEM!!!!

he yelled

Megatron: oh, now where's the fun in that? a little torment i think first, yess? ARM THE SIDE GUNS!!!

he ordered as the darksyde's side guns (get it) deployed and started firing at the axalon, causing many breaches in the maximal ship

(axalon POV)

Cheetor: (grunts) Rupture, the stasis holds are failing!!

he warned to his crew member

(a little fact for CJandxenaXenomorph Rupture is what rhinox used to be called before he got his rhino mode, or atleast that what i think)

Rupture: (groans) we're going down.

he said in a sorrow way of speaking

Optimus Primal: Launch all pods and get them into safe orbit!!!

he ordered as many maximal stasis pods were launched into earth's orbit, scattered around the globe

Optimus Primal: all plasma cannons, FIRE!!

he commanded as the axalon's cannons fired at the darksyde, causing a part of it's wing to break off as the maximal and predacon ships were entering earth's orbit and going in opposite directions from each other, FAR AWAY from each other
