the Fallen and Megatron off of the pyramid. The Fallen and Optimus Prime then engage in a fierce duel. Megatron tries to help his master, but is quickly overpowered and blasted out of the fight by Optimus. After an exchange of multiple blows, the Fallen finally gets the upper hand and counterattacks Optimus, knocking away his sword and ripping off one of his rocket thrusters before attacking Optimus with his scepter, but Optimus is quick to viciously retaliate, breaking the weapon by using it to tear off the Fallen's face, thus revealing his skull.
