Desparate to destroy the [[Autobot]]s, the [[Quintesson]]s make a deal with the [[Decepticon]]s.

==Detailed synopsis==
As we last left our heroes, the Quintessons had just blown up [[Quintessa|their homeworld]] in an attempt to destroy [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. However, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s managed to rescue them, but their ship was destroyed in the explosion, sending them hurtling through space. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] detects an object that they're closing in on quickly, but isn't sure if it's a planet or a ship.

Meanwhile, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] is briefing [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] on the recent developments, including the creation of a space platform to guard [[Earth]]. Intrigued, Galvatron alters course, deciding to punish the [[Human]]s for assuming that they could build something to defend themselves against him. Some of the [[Sweep]]s are unnerved by Galvatron's behavior, but [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] tells them to shut up. Arriving at Earth, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and [[Wheelie]], carrying [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[Transformation Cog]], spot Galvatron. They warn [[Outpost One]], but Galvatron destroys it with ease, then turns his sights on the Autobots. Fleeing to [[Jupiter]], the Autobots are forced to abandon ship, with the Cog, but Galvatron causes a nearby storm on the planet to explode...cause he can do that, and stuff. [[Blaster]] sends warning to [[Mars]], where [[Marissa Faireborn]] of [[Earth Defense Command]] heads out on a rescue mission.

Meanwhile, the Quintessons are contemplating how best to celebrate the death of the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]], when they learn that Rodimus survived. They conclude that they have no choice but to make an alliance with the one group who can help them: the Decepticons. Crashing on [[Goo]], the Autobots discover that they can walk in the substance, but cannot get out. [[Kup]] points out that while they're stranded, it could be worse. Predictably, a machine arrives and begins sucking up various garbage. [[Springer]] is caught and sliced up, and Rodimus is next. Despite [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and Kup's pleas, Rodimus manages to clog the blades, causing it to crash. [[Judge Deliberata]] is surprised, claiming that the Autobots weren't programmed for self-sacrifice. On [[Chaar]], the Quintessons offer the Decepticons enough [[Energon]] to get them to listen to their offer: destroy the Autobots. Although it's an offer the Decepticons are eager to accept, [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] is suspicious of the Quintessons, finding them familiar, but [[Motormaster]] decides to have a vote. The yays have it, but Blitzwing decides to remain on Chaar. The Quintessons are pleased, saying that the Decepticons will soon be theirs...again?

From her ship, Faireborn detects metal fragments which were blown all the way to Jupiter's moon of [[Io]]. On the surface of the Jovian moon, Wheelie and Blurr wake up, not realizing that they are not alone. Arriving at Chaar, Galvatron is angered when Blitzwing informs him that the Decepticons left following others, and Galvatron vows to reclaim his rightful place as [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon leader]]. On Goo, the Autobots are searching for a device which will shut off whatever is keeping the goo warm and soft. Suddenly, the Quintesson ship arrives, and the Decepticons jump out, firing with all they can shoot.
