'''The Transformers must work together to stop Britt from destroying their future.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Britt]] has a gift for the [[Transformer]]s and their universe—the Infestation. The [[zombie]] infestation that uses Britt as its spokesperson cannot be denied by even the living machines, and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] begins to feel himself falling into the ''Undermind's'' thrall. Britt helps along the process by expounding on how she herself became part of the horde and the being of the Undermind.

In her native universe, Britt was bitten by a [[Benny|zombie]] and then seized by the Undermind as its "evangelist" due to her [[vampire]]-zombie hybridism. Using the [[Artillica]] technology in that universe and her unique status, Britt spread incarnations of herself throughout the [[multiverse]], with one—a Transformer herself—ending up in the Transformers' universe. With her, she brought a number of zombies from the battlefield she left behind. Once in the Transformer universe, they froze and drifted in space for centuries before being discovered by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. With the Undermind's ability to alter perception, Britt presented herself as Bayonet, a Decepticon member of Galvatron's cohorts who seemingly always existed. With Galvatron, Britt was able to get herself brought to [[Earth]], a planet ripe for the infestation.

Britt finishes her story by mocking the decaying [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] stuck to her arm. Kup, however, is more resilient than she thinks and blasts her away. Angered, Britt orders the Zombies to swarm the Transformers. [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] isn't expecting the best and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] kindly suggests that they start listening to him, just as he suggested before. With the power of the [[Darkness (G1)|Heart of Darkness]], Galvatron incinerates a good portion of the zombies. [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], who are fighting zombies elsewhere in [[Las Vegas]], remark on the new firepower Galvatron's packing now. Optimus Prime is upset at Galvatron's crass negligence of innocent life, but the Decepticon doesn't care for such considerations at this moment.

Britt emerges from the smoke, with Kup finally at her side. She again emphasizes the Undermind's need to have every living being on the planet infected. The Transformers regroup and Galvatron again squabbles over leadership. Elsewhere, Britt probes deep into Kup's memories, bringing up the Undermind's technological knowledge and finding an excellent planet to infest—[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]! She transforms into a transportation gate, to the living Cybertron of the past. Just as she calls her army into the portal, the Transformers attack. However, Britt has also copied their shielding technology, producing a [[force shield]] to defend herself. But Prowl has a plan. Using the [[Pretender]] process that Kup was subjected to, Prowl accesses Kup's mind and separates his core personality from the infection. Kup, without anything to restrain himself, breaks down under the memories. He composes himself and, thanks to a suggestion from Galvatron, reprograms the coordinates of the transportation gate to the beginning of the [[Dead Universe]], a void with nothing to feed on. All in Britt's force dome, including Kup, are pulled into the warp.

The [[Autobot]]s mourn Kup's loss, but Galvatron takes another opportunity to offer the Autobots to join him. The Autobots again refuse, and Galvatron takes his leave, noting that all who do not join him will be treated as enemies.

'''Galvatron's here to stop interdimensional zombies, whether the Autobots want it or not.'''

==Synopsis==
A Cybertronian shuttle crash-lands on the [[Las Vegas]] strip. Coming out of the shuttle is a swarm of [[zombie]]fied [[human]]s, giant robots, and [[Sweep]]s that make short work of the local police. Coming out of the shuttle as well are former [[Dead Universe]] inhabitants [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], and the mysterious[[ Bayonet]]. Galvatron screams for [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his [[Autobot]]s to come… and they do, along with [[Skywatch]] agents. Galvatron demands that the Autobots surrender command to him, riling Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] to attack Galvatron. Bayonet, Cyclonus and Scourge attack the Autobots, telling them that while their primary mission is to destroy the curse of unlife, the Autobots are in their way.

While fighting, Optimus Prime asks Galvatron to explain himself, but Galvatron orders Optimus to bow down before him. [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] leads the Skywatch [[crash suit|crash-suits]] to battle the zombies, but a horrifying memory brings Kup back to [[Spotlight: Kup|the time when he was stranded and was assaulted by monsters]], causing him to lose his cool and sanity, and drop his [[cy-gar]]. In battle, several of the Skywatch agents are infected and turned into zombies themselves. Bumblebee and several other Skywatch crash-suits manage to latch three inhibitors to Galvatron, forcing him to transform into his alternate mode. Cyclonus surrenders, but tells the Autobots that they are not their enemy this time. Noticing the Infestation as the larger threat, Optimus Prime orders the Autobots to seal the city, and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] suggests a force dome. [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] sets it up, sealing Las Vegas, but the dome can only hold for twenty hours.

Prowl and Optimus Prime interrogate Galvatron, who explains that they had found a mass of frozen remains of organics and machines with the telltale energies of the Dead Universe, coming out of a distortion in space-time. They had brought it aboard their ship, until the dead mass awoke with unlife. During the ensuing battle, the ship was damaged, causing them to plummet to [[Earth]]. Galvatron had then determined that only with Optimus's help can they end the plague. A crazed Kup stumbles towards them, screaming incoherently that nothing makes sense, that the truth is in disguise, and begins to point a finger at Bayonet, asking where she popped out from. Kup screams that the threat is right in front of them… and Bayonet thrusts her hand through Kup's torso. She opens her face mask to reveal an organic face and calls herself "Britt", giving the Transformers a greeting from the ''Undermind''.

==Notes==
* Wheeljack shows up for one panel to do his thing. There's no sign of him elsewhere in the issue.

===Errors===
* Spike refers to Galvatron as a Decepticon, when Galvatron and his crew are actually unaffiliated. While this ''may'' have simply been a case of generalization on Spike's part, the next issue would feature the Autobots themselves using the term to refer to the Dead Universe characters.
