The 14th of May 2011 saw the 15th episode of Transformers Prime air in the US, entitled Shadowzone. This episode was a Starscream / human centric episode, and saw the partial return of Skyquake. A summary follows:-
Starting where the last episode, Out of his Head, left off, Megatron has returned as the leasder of the Decepticons and has taken his frustration out on Starscream, who is now in Knockout's medical bay. Starscream soon devies a new plan to use Dark Energon to power himself and a new army, to get revenge on Megatron and once again take control of the Decepticons.
At Autobot base Ratchet detects a Dark Energon signal, which the Autobots believe is Megatron returning to the site of Skyquake's defeat. The Autobots go in search for Megatron only to discover that it is Starscream. At the same time Miko sneaks over the groundbridge, with Jack and Raf following her. A small fight ensures and the already injured Starscream suffers the loss of a limb, his right arm. As Starscream looks to flee the Autobots groundbridge the humans back to base, when the two "cross streams" (in a bit of a Ghostbusters nod), sending the humans to an alternate dimension.
The Autobots try to search for their human allies, whilst Starscream looks to have KnockOut fix his arm. There is a nice nod to G1 with the Null Ray being mentioned. Meanwhile the humans are chased around the Shadowzone by the zombie Skyquake.
After lots of running, the humans using Starscream's broken arm as a weapon and a few zombie jokes (and an Idle Hands nod) the Autobots manage to track down the humans using mobile phones.
Starscream returns to the scene to try and retreive his arm when the Autobots open a spacebridge for the humans to return. As the humans escape they are chased out by Skyquakes zombie arm which promptly attacks Starscream.
The final sceen see's the zombie Skyquake finding Starscream's arm, and trying to attach it to his missing arm.
