'''Learn how Bumblebee lost his voice! Also, Optimus does stuff.'''
==Synopsis==
Optimus Prime visits the archivist Alpha Trion, who is recording Cybertronian history in the [[Covenant of Primus]] with his [[Quill]]. Alpha Trion expresses his doubts that the Autobots can keep the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]] from the Decepticons. The two decide that the AllSpark should be launched into space using a failsafe device to keep it out of Megatron's hands.

Optimus Prime breaks the news to his trusted lieutenants. Bumblebee objects, but Ironhide tells him to listen. Optimus Prime assembles a team who will make their way to the [[Well of All Sparks]] where the failsafe controls are. On their way there, the Autobots are intercepted at the [[Tyger Pax]] bypass. Optimus Prime quickly came up with a plan to deal with them. Jetfire would create a diversion while Ultra Magus and the [[Wrecker]]s provided cover for the Well of AllSparks. Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were ordered to harry the Decepticons in order to slow them down.

Bumblebee and Cliffjumper encountered Barricade and attacked. They quickly incapacitated him. Jetfire lured three Seekers into the Wreckers' crossfire, but the Wreckers were under attack by Megatron. Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Arcee made it to the Well. Arcee entered the launch codes since [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s were not allowed to as a failsafe. Fighting continued until the AllSpark blasted into space. Bumblebee laughed and taunted Megatron. In response, Megatron crushed Bumblebee's vocoder to shut him up, but let him live.

==Quotes==
"When I was a clerk I never had to worry about lives." 
"It was never going to be any other way, Optimus. I knew you were destined—" 
"To trade the caste system for Decepticon tyranny?"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Alpha Trion'''.

"And if you’re looking for the AllSpark, you’re going to have to go find it. Arcee fired it off, bam! Gone! Maybe it’s you that failed for the last time. Well, no. Probably not. We’ll set you up so you can fail once more, at least."
:—'''Bumblebee''' to Megatron.

"You talk too much, Autobot." 
"Everybody says that. Coming from you, I’ll take it. Hey, did you see that AllSpark? That was something, the way it flew out into space completely out of your reach—" 
''<Megatron chokes Bumblebee>'' 
"You mock me, mech? That is the last time you mock anyone."
:—'''Megatron''' puts an end to '''Bumblebee's''' [[Bluestreak]] impersonation.

==Notes==
*''Cameos'': Unnamed data clerks, [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, and [[Wrecker]]s.
*Ultra Magnus leads the Wreckers. Rodimus and Springer are members.
*[[Robot mode]]s are called "[[protoform]]s".
*Belief controls the AllSpark, not power.
===Errors===
Bumble bee is described as losing his voice in the story. The story is set in the war of cybertron universe, and in the game bumble bee's voice works perfectly.

*Optimus Prime was originally Orion Pax {{storylink|War Dawn}} and was made [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1}}
*The basic plot, involving Bumblebee losing his voice to Megatron during the battle at Tyger Pax in which the Autobots launch the AllSpark into space, is similar to [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] continuity stories from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] comics. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1}} {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}
