Owner's Description

Synopsis: "War Without End!"

In deep space, a group of construction workers are brutally slaughtered, without warning or quarter, by heavily armed brutes who enjoy their work... Yes, it's a team of Autobots led by Grimlock, and they've just stopped some Decepticons from destroying the planet of Nexus Seven. When Blades and Hound begin arguing about each other's conduct, Grimlock tells them to remember that they're all Autobots: "good guys". Later, Jhiaxus, the leader of this group of Decepticons, hears about the attack and decides to take matters into his own hands. Oddly, he has to explain to his aide Rook what the 'archaic' terms of Autobot and Decepticon mean...

Optimus Prime is called for a meeting on an uninhabited world with Grimlock. (Actually some of Jhiaxus' Decepticons are still there but Optimus, Hot Rod and Kup kill them all) He's troubled: the war is over and all their old enemies are gone, but many Autobots like Grimlock have gone off looking for new reasons to fight. He himself is having visions of a great and terrible apocalypse, and worries he's just looking for another reason to fight. This concern ends when Grimlock and his team reveal that this dead planet used to be inhabited and the Decepticon colonists "miscalculated", destroying the environment. Worse, they've found seventeen inhabited planets that have been violently eco-structured into replica Cybertrons! Optimus knows that even if Bludgeon lied about giving up war, he'd never be able to do all this... which is when Jhiaxus catches up and captured them all!

Meanwhile, on Earth, the G.I. Joe military unit send a message to Cybertron: Megatron is back with a new body!
On Jhiaxus' flagship, Grimlock and Prime are taken before the Decepticon leader to be informed of the truth: the Cybertronian Empire is not, in their mind, a group of Decepticons, but people who've put the war and the factions behind them. They realised Cybertron was a wreck four million years ago, while Prime was asleep on the Ark, and left it behind, leaving behind all the uncool losers like Straxus. The Autobots, the Decepticons, and the war are outdated ideas. When Optimus protests that the Empire, for all Jhiaxus' polite words, is still oppressing and killing worlds, Jhiaxus says that they simply don't care about other life forms: the genocides aren't about malice, the aliens just get in the way.

Optimus is left shaken by the discovery of this larger picture but Grimlock snaps him out of it, pointing out how the Cybertronians see too big a picture: the Autobots learnt on Earth how important the 'lesser' life forms were. He breaks them out and they spring their fellow Autobots, cripple the ship with an explosive, and escape on a stolen vessel. Jhiaxus is annoyed but lets them run... so he can pursue them to their base and destroy all of them!

The Autobots now know the war is still on and even greater than they new, but terrible as this threat is, Optimus Prime is still having visions: there's something even worse on the horizon...
