Optimus versus Megatron, a never-ending battle.
Synopsis
A scrambled television broadcoast first shows SMPTE color bars before clearing up. Megatron is being confronted by Optimus Prime. As Megatron lunges towards Optimus, the signal becomes scrambled again, and when it clears up, the two Cybertronians are now duking it out in a human city. Megatron manages to pummel Optimus some, but misses when he launches a blast from his fusion cannon. Optimus retaliates, and causes Megatron's cannon to come loose with a well-placed punched. Though Optimus continues to push his advantage, Megatron knocks him off his feet in turn, and reattaches his primary weapon. His second blast hits Optimus in the chest, causing the Autobot leader to buckle over. Megatron then walks over to his foe, announcing that their battle is over... But with a defiant "NEVER!" Optimus manages to knock Megatron off the overpass both of them were standing atop of. The transmission is then cut, and a message appears on-screen: "They were always real to me."

Notes
- The short recycles the beginning of Optimus and Megatron's fight in Autobot City from The Transformers: The Movie before segueing into newly-made, CGI animation. Though the CGI portion takes place in the middle of a human city, rather than an Autobot one, it still takes many cues from the same duel between the two faction leaders.
