The five Autobots were exposed to its energy, merging them into a new, combined form. Although Optimus tried to stop Rattrap, he activated the Enigma.

We are OPTIMUS MAXIMUS! We are the defender of all sentient beings! Optimus Prime can also form Ultra Prime by combining with a more random assortment of Transformers.

"By your powers combined, I am Captain Cybertron!"
