Owner's Description

Synopsis: Issue #2

Jetfire is interrogated by the Decepticon Bludgeon, who is leading a team intending to continue what the dormant Thunderwing started. Jetfire pleads with Bludgeon, reminding him that Thunderwing's rampage was what devastated Cybertron. Bludgeon counters that all Transformers are responsible for what happened to their world, and Thunderwing, the Decepticon scientist who predicted the environmental catastrophe that struck Cybertron, warned Jetfire and several others. They all dismissed him, and Thunderwing attempted to take action. Now, however, Bludgeon and his group will restore Cybertron by restoring Thunderwing: a mass sacrifice of other planets will be offered to appease the spirit of Cybertron, and Thunderwing will be the sacrificer. In the meantime, Optimus Prime receives a report on the destruction of the Calabi-Yau and decides to call in the Wreckers in case Thunderwing is indeed returning.

Bludgeon commences restoring power to Thunderwing using the energon pocket detected by the Calabi-Yau, and reveals that he is using the Technobots as raw material for the "grafting process" that Thunderwing created. Jetfire warns that the grafting is what drove Thunderwing insane, and that Thunderwing is too powerful and dangerous to be controlled. Bludgeon says that he isn't going to directly control Thunderwing. Using an axis-cradle that links the user to Thunderwing's blank neural processor, Bludgeon will give hints and directional prompts to Thunderwing, pointing him toward the sacrificed planets. The rest will be left to Thunderwing's own instincts. Jetfire attempts to stop Bludgeon, but is disabled.

Nosecone and Afterburner leave their escape pod and make their way across the surface of Cybertron, but the cosmic radiation plays havoc with their systems and they are rounded up by a pair of Centurion drones.

Having received the distress beacon, Optimus Prime journeys to Cybertron with a group of Autobots, assigning the Wreckers to rendezvous with them. Springer tells Prime they may want to consider simply destroying the planet, as Thunderwing is supposedly indestructible. Though hesitant, Prime says he'll consider that option. He remembers back to Megatron advocating the same tactic, but Prime refused, and threatened retaliation if Megatron tried.

A Decepticon infiltration unit on the planet Nebulos picks up something big and powerful exiting foldspace. The people of the planet look to the sky and flee in fear. The apocalypse has arrived—and its name is Thunderwing...
