However, Optimus Prime had hidden spys among them with a deadly weapon of destruction. If ever the Death Star were to be used, they were to detonate it. The Autobots brought it out into the control room, then activated the weapon. Every human on board was killed when the Oxygen Destroyer unleashed it's terrible power. Gold however, was able to last long enough to reach an escape pod and launch. Catching his breath, barely alive, he watched on the security cameras as every other human perished and was skeletolized. The Death Star was useless to him without the number of people needed to operate it now. It required many people to work at the same time, or the beam wouldn't fire. It was time to go recuiting again, and that would a very long time.
Back on board the Death Star, the Autobots, thankful that they did not require oxygen, packed the Oxygen Destroyer back up for later use.
