Owner's Description
Overview
As Unicron destroys the planet Lithone (not named in the comic), the Autobots plan to retake Cybertron from the Decepticons. Optimus Prime sends a group to Autobot City on Earth to acquire the energon needed for the assault. His mission is discovered by Megatron, however, and the shuttle is hijacked, the crew is killed, and Autobot City is attacked.
When all seems lost, Prime arrives and turns the tide of the battle, engaging in a colossal battle with Megatron. Both receive grave injuries, and as Prime dies, he passes the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus.
The Decepticons dump their injured into space, including Megatron, and battle for leadership. Unicron reformats the abandoned Decepticons into powerful warriors in order to destroy the Matrix—the only thing that could harm him. Megatron is now Galvatron, and he regains the leadership of the Decepticons by killing the traitorous Starscream.
Unicron eats Cybertron's moons while Galvatron's crew attacks the Autobots, sending them fleeing into space. The Autobots' two shuttles crash on separate planets. While Hot Rod's group battles the Quintessons and Sharkticons and learns about Unicron, Ultra Magnus's crew crash-lands on Junk and is attacked again by Galvatron, who steals the Matrix.
Galvatron attempts to use the Matrix to enslave Unicron, but only angers the behemoth, inciting him to transform and attack Cybertron. The Autobots and their allies travel to destroy Unicron and crash their ship into Unicron's eye. They rescue the Moonbase prisoners while Hot Rod battles Galvatron. Hot Rod opens the Matrix, transforming into Rodimus Prime. He disposes of Galvatron and helps everyone escape while using the Matrix to destroy Unicron. Rodimus exclaims that this event will end the Cybertronian wars.
'Til all are one.
Synopsis "The Gathering Storm"
Unicron attacks a Cybertron-like planet and only two scientists—Kranix and Arblus—manage to escape in a ship before the planet is destroyed.
Elsewhere, the Autobots plan to retake Cybertron from the Decepticons. Optimus Prime tells Ironhide to make a special trip to Autobot City on Earth to obtain the energon needed for an assault, but unfortunately the conversation was recorded by Laserbeak. After Laserbeak relays the information to Megatron, he leads a team to attack the shuttle, killing the crew, and continuing to Earth in the shuttle to take the Autobots by surprise.
Outside Autobot City, Hot Rod and Daniel enjoy a peaceful day of fishing. They take a break to watch the shuttle land, but discover that it's full of Decepticons, who exit and attack Autobot City. Perceptor also notices the attack and warns Ultra Magnus, who gives orders for his team to transform Autobot City to battle mode and for Blaster to contact Prime for reinforcements. Starscream's foot gets trapped in the transforming city, forcing him to blast it to escape.
Hot Rod and Daniel make it inside the city, along with Kup, running over some Insecticons in the process. When Blaster begins to broadcast to get help from Prime, Soundwave unleashes his minions to stop the transmission. Blaster, however, has his own team to fight back.
The Constructicons merge into Devastator to breach the city's defenses, which takes an entire day. But as it seems that all hope is lost, Prime arrives in another shuttle and immediately orders the Dinobots to attack Devastator. On his way to battle Megatron, Prime singlehandedly takes out a large group of Decepticons. Prime and Megatron battle fiercely and both are injured. Megatron fakes a surrender and attempts to use a nearby gun to attack Optimus, but Hot Rod sees what's going on and attempts to intervene. Megatron grabs Hot Rod, though, and uses him as a shield while he mortally wounds Optimus Prime. Prime, however, still has the strength for a blow that sends Megatron over a cliff.
Starscream orders the Decepticons to board Astrotrain and retreat, while Soundwave takes the gravely injured Megatron aboard. Prime is dying though, telling those around him that he is soon to be one with the Matrix.
